Though so many years had flown,

The Police and the wheelmen.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
do not think there are many wheelmen in
the city who will not cooperate with the police
in enforcing regulations intended TO Drotecs
pedestrians from .fancied or real dangers in
cident to reckless riding in the streets- II ID,
believe, the opinion Of many experienced
riders that the regulation requiring bicycle
riders 10 carry lights at night is unwise ons
and serves 10 endanger pedestrians rather than
to afford them protection. Still such an
opinion Is not q sufficient excuse for violating
the law. Whatever laxity there NAV have
been among wheelmen m the matter Of lamps the
police are TO blame for, in large part. pecauss
they have permitted not only this regulation.
but also many others concerning vehicles in
the streets, to be forgotten. Those who were
aware of the regulation have observed that
there has been no attempt for q long time 20
enforce it. There has been no attempt as every
wheelman knows, TO enforce the excellent regu-
lation requiring vehicles 10 keep TO the right
and declaring that in the meaning of this regu-
as two streets separated by the car tracks. The
wheelman on Pennsylvania avenue has 10 dodge
for his life constantly on account Of reck-
less drivers who either ignore or are
ignorant Of the regulation regarding the divi-
sion Of the avenue. II il not at all remarkable

about II o'clock in bed. Then she rises and
takes bath in hot water, which is gradually

They Will Know What
They Are Doing.
Under an act Of the last General
Assembly the Agricultural Depart
ment has gone to work to gather
and record statistics Of the different
crops raised by our North Carolina
farmers from June 1st, 1890 to
June l, 1891.
It was provided that tax listers
take blanks for the purpose and
collect careful statistics from the
farmers when they list their taxes.
These blanks were to be finally re-
turned to the Commissioner of
Agriculture who is to record and
file them correctly.
This is a good law and something
that should have been in vogue
over a half century ago.
North Carolina farmers have
been working in total ignorance Of
the average production Of the soil
of different sections. They had no
way Of keeping up with their voca-
ton in their own State. In fact
there were no reliable statistics to
show home-seekers. AS the pam
phlet containing these statistics is
to be issued each year and the same
year they are taken it will be found
an improvement over the U. 5
census reports that only put in thei1
appearance every ten years.
This plan fills the bill and will bt
an aid to the farmer and to tht
people who have an interest in ou1
agricultural development.
