The Right Of the Road.

The right Of way is often an issue be.
tween hackmen and other drivers Of We
hicles and the pedestrians, The former
seem to think that a pedestrian must get
out of the way and has no street or cross.
ing right that they are bound to respect,
This is an error, however; at the cross
ings the pedestrians have superior legal
rights to drivers, and on the streets, at
any point, the pedestrians have as much
right there q have the vehicle drivers.
This sosnd legal doctrine, announced
lately by au English judge, ought to be
drilled into the minds of ~hackmen, dray
drivers, etc, of Memphis. The vehicle
drivers have not the exclusive right Of

Duty.
To the Editor of the Ledger:
We would respectfully inquire of the
officers of our Cotton Exchange why it
is the supervisory regulations which took
effect on the first OF September are not
enforced against all the rebellious mem
bers slike2 Prompt action was taken to
punish a few members who deal in loose
cotton for supposed violation of the
rules, but no steps have been taken to
enforce obedience on the part Of a large
number of cotton factors who are rot
only not obeying the rules but treat them
with the utmost indifference, if not with
contempt. Now if the officers are not
going 10 insist on a rigid enforcement of
these regulations, let them throw up the
sponge and quit. MEMBER.

Little Rock Gazette, 2Sth ultimo.l
About seven years ago, in the county
OF Hot Springs, a difficulty occurred be.
tween G. B. Benton and Allen Phelps,
in regard to the latter having accused
the former of having stolen some hogs.
Benton meeting Phelps in the woods
one day, an adray ensued in which
Phelps was killed, having received two
wounds in his right breast from a ak
shooter in Benton's hands. Benton INC.
cessfully evaded justice, and settled in
Clark county, on the 0uschita river,
