Senator Hudson Says
Davis Bill Is Legal


I'm the case of Potter VS.. Lain
hart, 33 So. 251, our supreme court
said on page 257: Every presump-
tion must be INDUCED in favor of
proper legislative procedure in the
absence of affirmative showing to
the contrary, and, where entries of
such procedure are not required to
be entered upon the journal, the
courts cannot presume, in the alb
sence of entries, that the legislative
body did not do it's duty
Quotes Court Opinion
I'm an earlier opinion the court
said: Whenever it is acting in the
apparent performance of legal func-
tons, every reasonable presumption
is to be made in favor of the action
Of a legislative body; it will not be
presumed in any case, from the mere
silence of the journals, that either
house has exceeded its authority or
disregarded a constitutional require
ment in the passage of legislative
acts. There must be af-
firmative evidence that an act at
tested by the officers of both houses
and approved by the governor was
not passed in accordance with the
essential requirements of the consti-
tuition, or it must be upheld Estate
eX rel Markers VS.. Brown, 20, Fla.
4OO.
This rule is subject to one excep-
ton. Where the constitution eX-
pressly requires that the journal
shall show the action taken, the re-
duirement is mandatory and the
omission is fatal, but that exception
is not applicable to the present case.
of the grounds which | have stated
Il am confident that upon either
the Davis bill is safe against the at
tacks made on this point"
Says Nothing of Campaign !.
Senator F. NJ. Hudson arrived in
Miami yesterday, after having spent
several weeks representing this dis
trict at the last session of the State
Legislature. Mr.. Hudson is can
didate for gubernatorial nomina-
! ton, but would not make any state
ment this morning anent the cam
paign, promising to make some an
nouncement within the next few
days. Mr.. Hudson was accompanied
by his mother, Mrs. Mary Hudson
who has just recovered from injur'
les received from a severe fall. They
are the guests of Mr.. Hudson's sister
Mrs. J. r. Cason.

OUTLOOK FOR CITRUS CROP
NOT ENCOURAGING

Grove owners in and around Clear
water say that the prospect for
good crop of oranges in this section
is discouraging. When the trees
failed to take on much bloom in the
early spring the hope was that the
deficiency would be made up by the
bloom which usually sets in June,
but the June bloom also is very
small. and there are many trees in
some of the groves which carry no
fruit at all.
The reason for the deficiency OF
bloom is said to be that because of
the war and the consequent low
price of fruit last season, the grow
ers allowed the fruit to hang on the
trees too long. The trees carried the
fruit so long that the power to put
on heavy bloom was greatly weaken
ed.
Reports say that conditions in
other parts of the State are about
the same as here, and growers feel
that because of a small crop, prices
will range high next winter.-Clear-
water Sun.

Miami, June 25-Expressing his
confidence that the Davis bill is safe
against attacks, Senator F NJ. Hud-
son, who returned to Miami yester-
day after several weeks at Talla-
hassee, stated this morning that the
the senate journal shows that bill
interests Of the state will stand the
tests that will probably be put to it.
81 have noticed some newspaper
comment on the possible invalidity
of the Davis bill, passed by the legis-
lature at it's recent session." said the
senator. THE assertion has been
made that the act is invalid because
thesenate journal shows that the bill
passed two readings on the same
day, but does not show that such &C
tion was taken by two-thirds vote.
In my opinion the point is not
well taken for two reasons. In the
first place it is true that the consti-
tuition requires that a bill shall be
read on three separate days unless
the rule be waived by a two-thirds
vote. 1t is customary where a two
thirds vote is required. for the jour-
nal to show that the motion was
agreed to by two-thirds vote. 1t
seems that in preparing the record
of the Davis bill the secretary omit
ted the language by a two-thirds
vote But I am informed and do not
doubt, though | cannot speak from
personal knowledge, that when this
omission was discovered, an order
was entered in the journal on later
date of the session correcting the
error. If this is true, the defective
entry was cured.
Journal Record Not Essential
I'm the second place, while it is
customary and proper that the jour-
nal should show that motion pre-
vailed by two-thirds vote, yet it is
not essential. 1t is sufficient under
the constitution if the record merely
shows that the motion prevailed or
was agreed to.
when the record shows that a
motion was agreed to the courts will
indulge the presumption that it was
agreed to by the necessary majority
vote or two-thirds vote as the case
may be. The courts have held that
the journals of the legislature need
not show affirmatively that the con-
stitution has been complied with. but
that the legislative act is presumed
to be valid unless the record affirma-
lively shows the contrary.

SOLD ST. PETE 43
YEARS AGO FOR $4,000

The man who once sold the great
err portion of what is now St. Peters,
burg for $4,000 and had to file suit
t ocollect the last payment, was in
st. Petersburg the other day and the
Rambler had talk with him. The
man was w. F. Spurlin, of Clear
water, man 80 years old, but who
has the mind of man of so and is
still able to enjoy life. He was
taken all over St. Petersburg in
Mayor ]. G. Bradshaw's car, with
the mayor and C. B. McClung as
guides. They took him all over the
city that has grown up since he came
here 43 years ago. Mr.. Spurlin
bought $40 acres in st. Petersburg
paying from 80 cents to $1.25 an
acre for the land. The house he
bought, the only house except one
in the ST. Petersburg of today, was
located about where the Manhattan
hotel is now situated. Mr.. Spurlin
lived there for a while but finally
sold to Gen. Williams, the founder
of st. Petersburg. Said Mr.. Spurlin ::
81 sold him all the land l owned
for $4,000, one third-cash and the
balance in one and two years. He
refused to pay the third payment on
| the ground that the title was de-
fective and | hired Joe Wall of Tam
pa, to bring suit in the federal court
After the suit was filed, Wall help
ed to lynch a white man in the
square at Tampa and he was debar-
red from practice for two years and
there l was in court without law
yer. came down here to see VIII
liams and to try to settle the contro
versy. | found Williams in the
woods east of the home he occupied
down near the bay, cutting palmet
toes. That would be about Second
street and Fifth avenue south now
Mr.. Squirting said housed to feet
his hogs in what is now William
park, that being a good place to cal
them together. He said deer were
plentiful then and he has killed
many right where st. Petersburg
now is. Regarding this deer killing
he said:
Il had a negro, the first one IL
this section, who had come with mi
from Alabama. He used to go on
into the woods, shake a palmetto ant
then stand out in the open. TIT
deer would see him and mistake hin
for a burned stump and walk NJ
close enough for him to kill them
He used to get lot of deer tina
way. They had never seen a negr'
before and they were curious abou
him.

AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER
NEGROES TO FOLLOW

The reputable colored citizens of
st. Augustine have inaugurated an
excellent custom which might be
adopted with advantage by the men,
bers of that race all over the South.
In the case of vile negro character
in st. Augustine who had made him
self justly obnoxious to the whites
by conduct that very nearly provoked
lynching, negro citizens of the better
class met, passed resolutions order
ing the fellow out of the city as a
disgrace to their race and a menace
to the community, and their pro-
ceedings We're published in the st.
Augustine Record.
1t has been frequently and justly
urged against the negroes that,
while not sympathizing with the
crime, they were too much disposed
to protect the criminals of their race,
and help them to evade capture
merely because of racial prejudice
In that way they needlessly antag>
onized the white race. helped to
thwart justice and put themselves in
sympathy with the worst element of
their own people. The inevitable re-
suit was more crime among the ne,
groes and more lynching by the
whites, with less disposition among
the latter to discriminate between
good and bad negroes and deprive
the former of the sympathy and
good will of the Southern people, so
necessary to a right solution of the
negro problem.
Those colored citizens at st. Au-
gustine have given a fine example to
their race all over the South and
