How IL was shat Senator Jones
Voted for RHimself

Voted for HimselE
1t is said that when Senator Jones, of Flo
rida, was elected to the United States Senate in
1875 he was a member of the Legislature and
voted for himself The funny part of the bust
ness is that his vote was necessary to effect the
election. and thus practically elect himself
When Jones saw that his vote was necessary 20
a choice he drew himself up to his full height
and, looking severely at the presiding officer.
the 5000 Democrats of Escambia county, cast
my vote for Charles w. Jones" The Assembly
burst into uproarious laughter and applause
Jones had the balance of power and used it
with conscientious regard for the public welfare,
and his own"
The Pensacola Adodsce- Gazette finding the
foregoing floating through the press, deems it
necessary, for the truth of history to publish the
true history OF the first election of Chaa W.
Jones. Mr.. John J. Mcclure, who was Mr..
Jones' ccnfrere in the Assembly of 1875, was
interviewed, and from him 1t is learned that dur
ing the balloting for United States Senator, Mr.
Jones had voted blank on one ballot and would
have done 80 again, but Mr. Mcclure, who sat
near, said: "You are the representative of
the Democracy of Escambia county and of West
Florida, and you have no right To throw your
vote away; there is a chance to elect you as
Democratic Senator, and demand, in the name
OF our constituency, that you cast your vote for
q. w. Jones, without regard to personal or pr-
vate feelings" and thereupon Mr.. Jones did
vote for himself, and upon that ballot was
elected, though not by his own vote, for it was
found that AFTER all the votes were counted, he
bad several to spare but of this Mr.. Mcclure
was not certain Ut the start, and when the " rs
were reached he insisted on Mr.. Jones voting
for himself rather than run the rick of Repub-
lican being elected-and this is the whole story
as told by one Of the principal actors.

The Democracy b the natural enemy Of the

it can protect the rights Of al who suffer by op

OFFICE OF ArroRNEY-GENERAL,

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL, I
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, December %, 1886. !
Hon. e. A. Perry, GouernOr.'
s1R-In reply to your inquiry of whether or
not, on and after January 1, 1887, licenses re-
quired by law to be issued in the several counties
shall, under the New Constitution, be issued by
the respective County Judges, l have the honor
to communicate the following opinion
Sections and II of Article of the New Con-
stitution will create a new court in each county
under the title of "the County Judge" The
latter section states the jurisdiction and powers
thereof; among other things, that he shall is-
sue all licenses required by law to be issued in
the county," AS this is duty imposed by the
Constitution it is not material 70 inquire whether
1t is or not judicial in its nature; however
that may be, it is function attached to the new
court by the Constitution itself. Section, IL OF
Article 49, provides that "all courts as now
organized and constituted shall continue with
their jurisdiction until the Legislature shall con-
form to the requirements of this Constitution
the Jurisdiction of such courts as, under this
Constitution, are to exercise in whole or in part
The jurisdiction Of courts now organized" I'm
der this section this new court in each county,
." the County Judge" of the New Constitution,
with the jurisdiction and powers thereto attach
ed, will not become operative until made effec-
tive by the Legislature as provided therein.
Licenses 10 the several counties should, there
fore, be iseued by the officers now designated by
statute until there shall be further legislation in
the premises. Very respectfully,
g. NJ. COOPER, Attorney General.

Sugar Tariff or Tobacco Tax.
Special to TimesUn,on.
WASHINGTON, December 20.-Governor Perry
writes to the National Republican in answer to
an inquiry, as follows: II have your favor of
the 9th inst asking my views upon the questions
of removing the custom tax upon sugar, and the
internal revenue tax upon tobacco. As long
protection to industries is. to any extent, to be
the purpose Of the custom tax, it would be un.
natural for me to favor q removal of the protec-
ton from an industry so purely Southern, and 30
potent factor in the future development of my
own State as the production of sugar; and can
not favor the removal of the internal revenue tax
upon tobacco unless satisfied that it imposes
burden upon the toll which grows it; and until
assured in my own mind that to remove it will
not tend to more firmly fasten, if not increase,
the burden now resting upon the actual necessi-
ties of life to the masses of our people"

TAIL.AHAssER, FLA, December ". 1850. -
Hon. W. D. Barna, 0Mpae'ser
SR: In reply 10 yopr inquiries concerning the
effect which Article XIX Of he New Constitu-
ton viii have upon the statutes OF the State pro-
vidirg for and regulating the issuance Of licenses
to sell liquors and especially Is TO Chapter SAG,
eatitled IAN oct to Regulate the Sale OF Liquors.
Wines and Beer in the State Of Florida by the
Boards of County Commissioners OF To several
Counties" have the honor to return tho follow
ing opinion:
The elections authorized by Article XIX. to
be held In the several counties, are to determine
only whether the sale of the liquors specified are
to be prohibited there is nothing in said Article
inconsistent with the operation Of the statutes as
to licensing or regulating such sales In counties
or precincts where they shall not have been pro-
hibited. Chapter S416 prescribes part OF the
procedure for the issuance of such license. 1t
does not deal with the question OF whether or
not the sale Of liquor shall be prohibited In the
precinct, but only requires certain things to be
done by each individual applying for such
license, among others, that he shall procure, as
an endorsement Of his application, the signatures
c'nct to his petition. Such requirement is legt-
innate exercise of Il police power of the State for
regulating and licensing the sale OF such liquors,
emit ely distinct from the prohibition of such
salea State ex Esi. VS.. Brown, 10 Fla, 663
There is no repeal in terms by Article XIX OF
the Stdtut6S concerning Inc licensing Oi tue ScliuH
of liquors, and see no inconsistency between
said Article and the statutes a. will operate as d
repeal by implication. In those localities in
which prohibition shall be voted, as provided by
said Article, such statutes will not be operative
elsewhere they will remain in operation.
Whether elections can be held under Article
XIX without further legislation is question moi
embraced in your inquiries and not touched by
this opinion. Very respectfully,
G. M COOPER, Attorney General.
