Bank Building Torn Down.
The handsome pressed brick
building which for several years
has served as the home of the
Farmers & Merchants National
Bank has been torn away and a
big gaping vacant place causes
the passer by to stop and gaze in
astonishment. Naturally- the
question, “when did that build-
ing burn down?”—is frequently
asked by people from out of town
who don’t keep posted by read-
ing the Echo.
The contractors have only a
short time in which to erect the
new bank building and the peo-
ple will soon enjoy the sight of

same are hereby repealed.
Chapter 135, above referred
to, is a compilation of the Fish
Laws of this State, and in this
law no counties are exempted
from the operation thereof. We
are oi the opinion that the Acts
of the Thirty Third Legislature
repeal and supercede all former
laws on the subject and that same
is now in force to the exclusion
of all former laws; and that tha
catching of fish in the fresh wa-
ters of this State are governed
by the provisions of Article 923
of said Chapter; and that no
counties in this State are ex-
empted from the operation
thereof.
With great respect, I am,
Yours very truly,
C. W. Taylor,
Assistant Attorney General.
This opinion has been passed
upon, approved by this Depart-
ment in executive session, and
is now ordered recorded.

General Law Takes Precedence
Over All Others.
Austin, Texas, August 11.—
To the Echo, Gilmer, Texas.—In
closed please find du plicate copy
of an opinion given to Hon. J. D.
Cox, Chief Deputy, Game, Fish
Oyster Commissioner, by the
Attorney General’s Department,
in reference to the ccast fisheries
law passed by the 33 rd legisla-
ture. It will be observed that
this opinion holds that the Spe-
cial Fish Law for Upshur and
Camp counties was repealed by
said Act. When the bill was be-
fore the House, I arose to a
question and asked if it would
take precedence over the special
law for Upshur and Camp coun-
ties, and was answered that it
would not. With that under-
standing I voted for the general
bill to protect the coast fisher-
ies. No doubt many other mem-
bers voted for the general bill
under the same impression.
It is too late to make any change
now until another regular ses-
sion of the Legislature. In the
meantime the people of Upshur
and Camp counties should study
the question and let their next
representative know definitely
in convention or otherwise what
they want done.
Regretting that this opinion
holds the special fish law for
Upshur and Camp counties re-
pealed, lam,
Very truly.

Representative 31st District.
