Patrick Walsh has worked in the
ranks for the democracy as faithfully
as any man in Georgia. aud With an
ability recognized throughout the coun-
try. Since he has been in the Senate,
short though the time, he has been one
of the leaders. He seems fitted for the
place, he should be sent back for the
long term.
The bicyclists are beginning to COM
plain Of the poor sidewalks since
they have been required by Council
to pay license of $1.25 per year. and
a few of them are demanding that
Council give them better sidewalks.
The wheelmen may be right from their
point of view, but a majority of the
pedestrians feel that the wheels are
permitted on the sidewalks by suffrance
alone. aud that it would be 50 good
move for Council to require no license
Of the bicyclists but forbid riding on
the sidewalks 10 any part Of the city.

The colt show during the Carnival
has already begun to have the effect
desired by those who advocated and
agitated the matter until the show be-
came reality. There has been
decided revival Of interest in horse rails
ing already, and We believe that quite
a number of men who have not done so
heretofore will undertake to raise horses
another year. We are glad to be able
to record this interest in stock raising,
for we believe that the future of this
country depends in a great measure
upon this industry. South Carolina can
produce as 6ne horses as the world ever
saw. and it is folly to send so much
money to the West every year for horses
and mules. We have never seen finer
looking colts 10 the blue grass regions
of Kentuckey aud Tennessee than some
which we're exhibited at the colt show.
