It appears that a recent law «ot the fault of the car. The farmer make.s it possible to exchange seats kaa rights on the highway with his in this manner without calling an «toek when leading them and ia this olection. I Dear Editor â€" I was rather sur- prised at the decision given by the indge in court here recently, in the case where a pig was killed by an automobile. The judge^hy hi.i verdict implied Lhat the highway is not to be used it night by anyone but the- motorist, the pig and that the party leading the pig was negligent in using the high- way at night, and by not giving any oignal to the motorist. I believe the ruling all over the civilized world is that the party over- taking ii the one responsible for giv- ing any signal, not the one overtaken. I have driven a car for a good many years, and if my lights are good en- ough for me to see 100 yards ahead I cna travel with safety at 40 miles an hour, but if I can only see ten yards ahead of me, ten milei an hour is excessive and dangerous, and one should not drive at any speed at which he could not ston easily within the range of visibility of his lightj. The judge also intimated that the party leading the pig should carry a light â€" I suppose a tail light on the pig! â€" but thte is no law in this mu- nicipality (there should be) making it compulsory for other than motor driven Vehicles to do .10. It seems to me that the^udge was biased in favor of the motorist. I am one, but I believe that any one per- son has no mor0 right to travel the f^ highway than another, so long as he is within the law compelling either pe- destrians or horse-drawn vehicle to carry lights, why should it be neces- sary for a farmer leading his stock to do so? Or why should he be pro- hibitei-from using the highway at any time of the day or night he may wish to do so? I am writing thia because I have heard nothing but adverse criticism from every person who attended this hearing, with whom I have spokea regarding the case, and in every case the opinion held is that the verdict was very unfair. If verdicts auch as this become common the king's high- way would soon become the property of the reckless driver, for neither so plentiiul a- \Ve got 25 bushels per acre off forty { round here that it is nothing out pf K'res, and 30 bushels off another , the usual for rabbit hunters to run Stepping backwards into a pan of forty acres, and 12 bv-,hels off 80 ' across them in ones, twos and even 1 .scalding jelly which her mother was acre.s, while off another seventy acres threes.
