 Bicyclists Up in Arms.
 The meetings here of three great politi- cal parties pales into insignificance as q matter of local public interest when com pared with the agitation of the move ment to require bicycle riders to avoid the use of their wheels on the sidewalks of the city. Great interest is also felt in religious revival in progress here, but the saving of souls and the prosperity of the country are relegated to the rear and left to preachers and politicians. About 1900 men, women and children in Montgomery have invested each some thing like $100 in a wheel Now the city council is seriously considering a > proposition to keep the riders off the side walks, which would, of course. seriously interfere with the sport. All sizes, ages and genders of riders have risen up in open rebellion. Preachers have left their pulpits, lawyers have deserted their offices, school boys and girls have left their books, sweethearts have ceased to woo, old maids and matrons have for gotten to gossip and all have joined hands and hearts to throttle the threat ened oppression. Meetings have been held oratory has been turned loose and a well defined plan of battle has been for muIated. Mayor Clisby has been con- fined to his residence for seven months. Matters of vast importance to the city have come before the board during that time. but the mayor has been spared the necessity of meeting with the council men because of his health His pres ence at the eventful meeting on Monday night is now demanded. however. and he has promised to attend Bevies of pretty young girls with bouquets and has a vote and pleaded for the defeat of the proposed oppression. Mothers with houses full of voting sons have made for nlal demands upon them. Ward heelers the average alderman is being made a burden. On next Monday night. when
