THE PROPOSITION CONSIDERED.
The Stave Factory Deal With Little
Rock Parties Look Bright,

Mr.. H, M, Carter secretary of
the Arkansas Cooperage Company
at Little Rock, left for his home
last night after spending several
days here looking for a piece of
ground suitable for placing a staye
factory thereon
Mr., Tilson had Mr.. Carter in his
company all day yesterday and
showed him all the valuable pieces
of property in the city suitable for
factories.
The piece picked ont by Mr.,
Carter Is . acre track, lylngsouth
of the furniture factory, and west
of the 4 G mill, and can be made ac-
cessble to all the railroads by an
expenditure of $500 for building a
switch from the Y, d p, main track
to the Cotton Belt road, thus con
Meeting three main line roads with
one switch.
This ground belongs to David
Tilson and Judge b, Y, Estes, aud
they offered 1t to Mr., Carter for
$500 or they proposed to give him
the rent free for ten years and at
the expiration of that time the
would be given an option
to buy at the valuation the prop
erty might be appraised, or the
company could pay a rental Of ten
per cent, on the amount, or aban-
don the property as they might

While the decision or opinion
of a comfy judge cannot directly
affect the validity or force OF a
statute law, the conclusions aud
deductions of Judge Jones are
reasonable, and may serve as a
pointer to Others in arriving at a
verdict; and if all the county
judges and jurors place the same
construction on the law as Judge
Jones does, aud render Il verdict
of not guilty, the law will be as
dead in effect. as if declared 50
by a Supreme court decision.

ending August 18th, and
| that The catching of mui'ct
was prohibited Only from
the 18th OF November 20 The
Slsi day of December.
This is a very important
case at this time, and tile
opinion of the court may be
interesting to the public, so
we give below the resoning
of the court
1.-The necessity for the
construction of statutes is
nothing new in the courts Of
Florida. " says the judge,
and our Supreme court has
laid down completely and
clearly the rules for .saeh
construction. / understand
well that no court may de-
part from the plain mear-
ing of the statute on. the
ground that it is unwise or
unreasonable. The argu.
ment that the act of the
Legislature will bring hun
ger and distress into the
homes of a large ard useful
class of our people at d time
when the avenues of employ
ment otherwise are closed to
them is of no force-the di-
vine principle of tempering
the wind to the shOrn lamb
is of no avail-in the con.
struction OF statutes. BIT
if the statute, or any part of
it be ambiguous and uncer-
tain, the courts may declare
the true and evident intention
Of the legislature, and they
ought to do it. There is no
question in my mind about |
the ambiguity in this law as
to mullet,
In constructing statute |
less regard may be paid to
the words used than to the |
evident policy which die
tates it. Let us see, in this |
light, whether my opinion
is correct. Can it be posi-
bic that the legislature i'll
tended to practically pro-
hibit the catching of mullet?
If so, where is the policy of
it? the mullet is the poor |
mans fish. 1t is to the poor
Of the South what the stur.
geon is to the poor of the
North. 1t is at its best as

Can it be presumed that Our
Legislature, in the midst Of
universal distress inicrdpd

In view OF the uiccrtaintv
existing i'll the statute about

Summer prohibition, ! sha,I
give The legislature the bcut;i.
of thc doubt and acquit ,h1m q,
auv such intention, rnlcss. then,
the Legislature, wi;hiall certainty
included mullct in the Shnm,r
prohibition, thc policy o. d.
jaw Will exclude nullct from
ach prohibition.
'Thc statute provides that il
hall be trlaw'ul to use or en-
rIoy any sciuoS o. nets ii ,hc

and to allow itsUUvios ~srnd o.

exclude mullet from the sumlher
prohibition. Besides ii is Il rule
Of construction that IN statutes
which treat OF specific persons or
Kings the law cannot be extend

We have a law treating spccitical-
