 William Marks has conquered a bicycle at last. He has been am bilious for some time to join the army of Prescott wheelmen and several weeks.ago ventured one, the results being somewhat painful to him and rather serious for the wheel. It all came about through the obsti- macy of the wheel in coming in colli- sion with a post. While this cooled his ardor for awhile it did not en- tirely remove his ambition, so he took advantage of the pleasant weather yesterday. and coaxed an dnsuspecting wheel out to the race track where he wrestled with it un- til he succeeded in making four complete circuits of tie track, two miles in all. without break. He will now join the Prescott bicycle club.

The Georgla statutes are not in harmony with Mir. Allison's belief. and for laboring on the calendar Sunday, he has been arrested, con- vlcted and sentenced to work in the chain gang. The law also provides that in case a member of the chain gang is guilty "of insurrection or attempt at insurrection" he may be deemed guilty of a capital offense and punished with death. It is evi- dent that the Georgia law belongs in the same category as the old time blue laws, and sadly needs re- vision.-L. A. Times.
