LAW ON CORN MEAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL RESPECTED
 WITH INQUIRIES.
Renders Uno1iciaI 0pintcn That Mer- chants Caught With Blg Stock of Unmarketed Sacks on Hand
 Cam Sell It.

uneasiness on the part of Alabama merchants as to the new law establish ing standard of weights and meas ures for meal in Alabama has resulted in an unofficial opinion from Attor- ney General Garher to allay this un- easiness. The merchants of Alabama did not want to become law breakers by selling meal in sacks not up to the
 requirements of the law, and they
 were at loss to know what to do
 with the stock of meal they had on hand. which had been packed in sacks not branded according to the law. The law establishes standard or weights and measurements for meal and provides the way. and the only way in which 1t can be sold in Ala bama- It declares that corn meal can only be sold in sacks containing .. 12. .4s or se pounds. Meal can also pc
 sold in barrels of two classes. one class containing ss pounds and the other 19s,
 The law still further provides the sacks must have plainly stamped on the outside the weight of the contents of the sacks The sack must bear the statement as to whether It con- tains bolted or unbolted meal
 The merchants were anxious. nrst to learn when the law went Into ef- feet; second, what was to be done witn the sacks of meal on hand not stamp ed according to law. and third what
 were the mills to do with the large stock of sacks they had accumuiateo
 before the passage of the law. anu which were not stamped in accordance with the law. In response to repeated
 requests from merchants and m.ners of Alabama, the Attorney General mas given an unwritten opinion in wnicn he says that the law under its express provisions goes into immediate erect
 Colonel Garber says further m nis opinion. that 1t would be safe for the nerohants to dispose of what stock or hmeal thew have now on hand without fear of prosecution. He explains that he ts not charged with the duty or arecutinr the law, but he is of the oninion that those law officers who ara charred with the duty of enforcing It, will take the common sense view or the
 nractical operation of the law and per nit the merchants who were caught by the law with large stock or meal on hand to dispose of that stock With out prosecution for 8 violation or tne law.
 He does not think. however. that the
 mills which have large supply or sacks on hand. will be permitted to use >up those sacks. In his opinion the meal that has already been sacked can De sold. but that the mills with so many sacks would not be authorized In using up those sacks.
 The law has resulted in a great deal of conference between Attorney Gen. eral Garber and the merchants ana milIers of the State.
