courts will take Judicial notice that
automobiles on highways, especially
where they are infrequent, have a
tendency to frighten animals. The
duty, therefore, deVolves upon the
drivers Of suen machines to exercise
due care to prevent accidents. The
amount Of care necessary varies with
the various circumstances. Acts
which in a given case might be negil-
gence in another might be due care.
Therefore, it is almost absolutely
necessary that what action amounts to
due care must be a question Of tact.
From the evidence it would seem tlat
the present case is one which IN
which much care was required. The
character Of the ground, the exposed
situation of the plaintiffs and tner
children, the fright Of the mule on
the present and prior occasion the
noise Of the machine we're all cir
cumstances going to call for the ex-
ercise of much care, such care as
prudent person would exercise.
Whether the defendant in the pres
ent case exercised such care Is not so
absolutely evident that it may be de-
cided as a matter Of law. 1t is a
question peculiarly within the pro-
vince Of the jury and the non-sult
was therefore properly refused"
"The Circuit judge at the close OF
his charge told the jury tnat II neg
lieence Of the agent in charge OF the
automobile caused the injury the
principal would be liable. The de-
fendant alleges error in his failure to
qualify this language so as to make
the principal liable only for such in
iuries as were caused proximately by
the agents negligence. This execu
ton cannot be sustained. The cour
had previously charged that a persol
would not be liable unless his negll
genee was the proximate cause OF tn
injury" Judge Gary had stated TN
principle in general terms and nj
charge is held to be correct.

in this case, is the proprietor OF tn

sTINGLEss BEES.
They Have Shining Apparatus, but
.... are too Busy to Use It.

Stineless bees are the latest intro
ductions Of the department Of agrl-i
culture, in Washington, says the
Philadelphia Press. That visitors to
the Capital City may be served with
honey from the White House gar
dens and public flower beds is a pros
pect held out by the local notels,
which are considering the installa-
ton Of apiaries on their roofs.
It is not beyond the possibilities
that hives Of the busy workers may
be kept soon on the front porcnes Of
many households, urban or rural,
throughout the country, supplying
sweets and pointing the rising gener-
ations to home industry.
The new introduction, which comes
from Asia Minor, is known as the
Caucasian bee. The name is derived
from it's native locality, and is en-
phasized by habits of life which rank
this honeymaker distinctly as the
white mans bee. It is civilized, dig
nifed and high-toned. It rushes with
reluctance into anything that smacks
Of warfare, having, in place Of the
belligerent instincts Of others Of Its
class, a predisposition to arbitration
It must not be inferred, however
that the Causca"ian has no sting al
all, as mas been enormously stated
Physically it is constituted much a:
are other bees, and has an equal ca
pacity for inflicting wound; but it,
weapon is sheathed in peace and US

Greenville News.
Columbia, Sept. 24.-In the case OF
Rochester against Bull, decided to-
day by the supreme court, the court
lays down the law regarding the la
bility of automobiles for injuries re-
sulting from the fright Of animals
Mr.. Thomas NJ Rochester and his
wife, Carolina Rochester, on August
80, 1904, were going along the road
leading from the city Of Greenville to
Chick Springs in wagon drawn by
a mule. As they drew near to TIE
bridge leading across Richland creek
on coming around sharp curve
about rs yards from the foot OF the
bridge the automobile Of the defend
ant was seen approaching it being-then
lust about to run off the bridge.
Rochester at once signaAed the dr1V-
er of the machine to stop. The road
at this point was mar = and is down
a comparatively stees grade. On the
left hand side is steep bluff lead
ING down to the creek. The automo-
bile. in compliance with the signal
was run into a cut in the bank on
the left hand side and the forward
motion Of the machine stopped. The
motor, however, was permitted to con-
tinue running and according to the
testimony of the plaintiffs gave forth
much noise and caused the wnole ma
chine to vibrate. The plaintiffs con
tinued their approach, the mule be
coming more or less frightened as III
neared the machine. When he was al
most opposite he became uncontrol
liable and ran over to the extrem'
right of the road where he struck
telephone pole, throwing the plantH
from the wagon, and according to tn

New York Tribune.
Persons residing in the village
we're startled out of their slumbers
about l o'clock this morning by the.
tolling Of the bell in the little Meth
odist church. The church bell sum-
mons the village bucket brigade when
there is fire in the neighborhood. At
the first tap Of the bell the farmers
awoke and hurried to the church,
buckets in hand. The tolling con-
tinu5d, but in an erractic manner.
At-times four or five strokes Of the
bell would be given in rapid success

silence. There was no sign Of a fire
anywhere. At the church practically
everyone living within sound Of the
bell had gathered, yet within all was
dark. while the bell in the tower con-
tinued to peal out the alarm. l.
caused a shiver to run down the
backs Of the bravest.
Finally Henry Van Ness, the sex
ton Of the church, arrived. he sus-
pected some uncanny agent at work
and refused to open the doors. He
said ne knew it was ghost, and he
!! wouldn't face it under any clreum-
stances. Giles Van Ripper said he
would go in if Van Ness would give
him the key. Van Ness passed it over
