RATHER HARD ON THE MULE.
Court Declares Our FavOrite Ami
NAL TreacherouS and Vicious.

The western Missouri court of appeals
decided that mule is treacherous
and vicious animal, and that so we'll
known is this fact that if a workman
is injured because OF ,hose traits Of
disposition in the mule, the employer
cannot plead ignorance of the mules
nature as defence.
This decision was made in the case
of Pete Borden against the FLAX Con-
struction Company. Borden worked
for the company. He went beneath
a heavy machine on wheels to hook
chain. A span of mules was hitched
to the machine, and while Borden was
beneath it the driver Of the mules was
or ered by the uperintendent to go
beneath the machine to help Borden.
Thereupon the mules started, and
one of the machines wheels ran over
Borden's foot and crushed it. He sued
the Flax Company and obtained judg-
ment tha5 was affirmed by the court
of appeals, which says:
"The mule is a domestic animal,
whose treacherous and vicious nature
is 80 generally known that even courts
may take notice of it. The company
cannot be heard to claim that it did
not know of the treacherous and I'M
reliable qualities of this animal. 1t
seems to us that the defendant ives
guilty of the grossest negligence in
ordering the teamster to assist Bor
den. Any man of ordinary prudence
under such circumstances, would not
only have placed himself in front of
the mules, but he would with his
hands have firmly grappled and held
the briddlebits of each of them"

Drunkenness among women in Eng
land has increased alarminglY during.
the last two decades. The new law.
for the first time, enables a husband
to obtain legal separation from a ha-
bitual drunken wife. and wife from
drunken husband.
Under this clause Sir Charles Law
son has already applied for separation
from his wife, who is an habitual
drunkard. Under the new act the
sale of liquor is prohibited to an ha-
bitual drunkard for period of three
years after conviction. So that there
may not be any doubt as to the iden-
tity of such drunkards. the law has
provided that particulars shall be sent
by the court to the police authorities
concerning each case.
The drunkard himself is informed
of these particulars being sent to the
police, and the police are compelled
to notify all saloon keepers in the
drunkards neigh bOrhOod OF his con
viction as an habitual drunkard. The
police are preparing TO obtain photos
of habitual drunkards, copies OF which
will be privately circulated by the Sa-

PLUNGED INTO THE OCONEE.
Accident WcdneS-

The first part of Savannah bound
Seaboard Air Line freight train We'd
nesday morning at Ochwalkee ran off
the bridge, which was raised for a
boat to pass, and threw the engine and
the two following cars into the river.
No one was hurt in the affair except
one of the negro train men, Elijah
Cobb, who saw the car in front of him
going into the river, and jumped for
his life. He escaped other injuries
than d severe shaking up, few slight
bruises and wrenched back. Cobb
was sent to Savannah by the railroad
physician, DR.. w. w. Lee, for treat
ment.
The engineer and fireman took the
plunge into the lev water with the
train, but swan out uninjured
At the time of the accident the train
had been slowed down preparatory to
crossing the bridge. This accounts
for the fact that more of the cars did
not go iato the stream.
The bridge, it seems, should have
been closed to admit the passage OF
the train and the men running it ex-
pected it be closed. When the engi-
neer discovered it was open he attempt
ed to stop the train, and succeeded in
slowing down considerably before the
engine went over into the river.

A month ago when grandson was

A COTTON COMBINE
Its Object Is to Prevent Ameri-'
cans from COrnering Market.


A Paris dispatch says that with a,
view OF defending themselves against
American competition some of the
leading members of of the cotton trade
of France, supported by several infiu-
ential names in commerce and finance.
have formed an association called the
Association Cottoniere COlOniale."
The Temps says that the cotton in
dustry of the United States is develop
ing to an arming extent, having in
the last ten years increased by Is per
cent. Immense factories have been
started and it is feared that the entire
crop of the United States will he
bought up for the benefit of these fac
tories, which would need a market
abroad as, in spite of it's increase in
population, it is not thought possible
that the United States could absorb
the whole of its production.
1t is pointed out that Great Britain.
Russia and Germany are making ef-
forts to ward Off the American dan
GER by developing the cultivation of
cotton.
The object of the association is to
prevent Americans corneriDg cotton
developing its production 10 the
French colonies, notably the Soudan.

riculture is extremely hard and not so
honorable either. l acknowledge that
farming under the old plan was some
what mental, but with new methods,
or scientific farming as it is called, is
remunerative, fascinating and instruc-
tive.
The country needs educated farm
ers. 1t is q mistake that anybody can
farm. When man can do nothing
else he thinks he can farm, when the
truth is, he can do nearly anything
else as we'll. Poor old Mother Earth,
she bears the scorns of numerous sons
of ignorance, and the farm mas so often
been the last resort of the offcasts of
other professions.
The day of scientific farming has
scarcely dawned. The experiment
stations of our country have made rap
i'd progress in the last few years, con-
sidering the disadvantages they had
to contend with, but so slow has the
emanating influence made it's way
that, strickly speaking, we have
scarcely seen the beginning. Some
wide awake farmers have been bene-
fitted by observing and patterning af-
ter them; and we can see general eff
feet, even at this stage of its prog
reSs.
What then must we hope for in the
future, if this mechanical application
of improved methods results in this
good, what must be the result of a
real, intelligent application?
Now, if we would improve the agri-
culture of our country as we'll as the
condition of those engaged in 1t, We
must instruct The children in the
principles of agriculture, that they
may make an intelligent application OF
these, and become aation of scienti-
| tic farmers. France and Germany
have profited by thus instructing the
children. They have an aggregate OF
about 5000 school gardens each. May
We not profit by the same plans? OF
course it will take us some years, per-
haps, ito establish the system best
suited to our needs, but we can great.
ly shorten the time by beginning al
once. We cannot afford to let things
drift along in the same old way and
take two or more generations to &C.
eomplish in one Or less than one.
Back to the soil' should be sound
ed in the ears of many young men who
turn their backs on farming because
they do not consider the word farmer
a synonym for dignity, re6nment and
culture. It may be true TO some ex-
tent of the old regime OF the slothful
! farmer, but the scientific farmer is
| more a "child of nature" than the
poet, and as much student as the
philosopher. just think of the many
branches of knowledge he has access
to, all of which are instructive and in
teresting-there is geology, mineral
ogy. botany and what not. TO many
of these branches most persons are to-
tai strangers, and yet those engaged
in them think they are more cultured
or at least are in better position to
be.
To know farming in this way would
be to enjoy it; and SO il we only ac-
quaint the child of today with the
broad field of investigation which it
presents to him and the marvellous
work of nature which it discloses, we
may expect to see reaction in the
tide of humanity and instead of going
to the cities to occupy clerkships and
many other ships no less enslaying,
many young men will go to the farm.
Then the child of TODAY will have be-
come the scientific farmer of tomor-
row.
