A good many people compl ain about
wheelmeu running into pedestrians. The
trouble about the matter Is just this. Peo-
pie do not observe the law OF the road. The
law of the forty-four states of the union is
"go to the rightm No matter If 1t be a
pedestrian on a side walk, vessel on the
river, a canalboat upon a canal. horse
back rider or a driver of anything that
goes on wheels, or a railroad locomotive, or
street car, the rule is identical and inex-
orable. All people born in this country grow
up under this law and ought to be familiar
with it. IL is the exact opposite Of the rule
in every European country Except on the
Dutch canals, and newcomers require some
little time to find It out and get used to ii.
But it is the law, and its careful observ-
ancs by everybody would greatly facilitate
convenient travel of every kind. As
it is, 1t is pretty we'll observed The
general exceptions are thesmall boy who al
ways wants the inside of the sidewalk for
himself, the nurse with the baby carriage
and few other people who ought to know
better but don't, These few people it must
be admitted include some wheelmen who
for some unknown cause persist in turning
to the. left in meeting a pedestrian or a
mounted person. II they cause a collision
they must remember it is their
fault. The wheelmen's rule in
Savannah is keep to the right at all times,
in meeting pedestrians, carriages or wheel
men and in going around the squares. The
only exception is when passing another
wheelman or carriage or wagon, then turn
to the left, passing on the left side in order
to DO on the right OF any person or vehicle
