Mr.. Joseph r. Oliver, Of Hillsboro,
South Carolina, planted this year six
acres of tobacco. From the crop he
had sold up to last week tobacco to
the value of $1,O87, and "still had a

BICYCLEs IN THE PARK.
The Recorder to Say whether They
Have Any Right There.


Have Any Right There.
The right Of bicyclists to ride through
the park since the iron fence has been re-
moved. will be decided in police court to-
day.
The city ordinance grants the use of
the walks outside of the iron fence for
bicycles. Since the fence has been re-
moved, few bicyclists have thought that
the entire park is open to them. A young
man started up the main walk from Bull
street to the fountain yesterday He had
not gone far before he was stopped hy
a policeman. A case was entered on the
police docket against him, and the record
er will decide this morning what rights the
removal of the fence gives bicyclists if
any, to ride in the park
The next thing is to determine the divid-
ing lire on the walks aroun5 the park
which they cannot cross without violating
the ordinance. The building of a cycle
track around the entire park, and extern
sion, would settle the question, and make
the bicyclists happy.
