ing. gave the custody Of their ten

=, In his decision. Judge Rice re-
marked that there was much in the

that he felt that Il was necessary
for him TO consider the case from
the time Of the granting Of a decree

case to see that this provision was
made in the decree. but, as had been

. on ne prothonotary in properly draw
ing Il up. II was. however, the first
time that such an oversight had ever
occurred. he pointed out.

vinced that the mother had dis
qualified herself as a proper person

UNIQUE LAW HELD l CONSTITUTIONAL Seining in ChoCtaWatchie
 River Is Prohibited By T Act of 1919
By FRED H. GoRMLEx axontgomery Bureau The Age-HerAld, 2eI-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, May s.-(special.)- All efforts of the wise men in tho fact constitutional convention of Ala hama to prevent the passage of mea- sures not applying to the entire state without their being advertised have failed. Judge James J. May field, code commissioner and special assistant attorney general. has found e law enacted In 1919 which Is neither & general law nor a private, special or local law yet nothing can be found to indicate that any provision of the constitution has been violated.
 The act prohibits the use of seines. net and such devices in fish ing in Choctawhatchie river or waters which empty into this river. st was introduced by Representative T. G. Faulk. It Is not general law because 1t does not apply to the en- tire state, but it is not n private, special or local law under the defini- tion of such laws as made by the con- stftution. Therefore. 1t is valid. ac. cording to the opinion of Judge May field because the legislature has the inherent right to make laws unless 1t Is restricted by some provision of the constitution.
 I. T. Quinn state commissioner of conservation, referred the subject to the attorney generals department after a judge In one of the counties involved had held 1t ot be invalid.
 Statute Unique
 "The statute in question Is unique," said Judge Mayfield in his opinion. .The trouble or difficulty in answer ing your question arises from and is due to the fact that section no of the constitution attempts to define a general, local and a private statute or law. The case shows the unwfs- dom of attempting to convert con- stitution into a dictionary or law lexicon. It Is perfectly certain that the statute in question is not gen. eral law under the definition found in section 110 of the constitution. It Is equally certain that it Is not local law under the same section of the constitution. It Is equally certain that 1t is not a special or private law within the meaning of section 110 of the constitution.
 The statute in question not being a local. private or special law within the constitutional definitions, sec tions 104. 1o5 and 105 of the consti- tuition. these sections do not apply to it. and this being true we know of no inhibition or prohibition in the constitution against It's passage or enactment and hence 1t is our opinion that the statute is valid, insofar as these prohibitions of the constitution arc concerned. which require notice and publication as to the passage of local laws.'
