May S, ifiSfi
Honorable Bam T. Holt.
Attorney at Law,
Carthage. Texae.
My Dear Bam:
You latter of April 3fitb addressed
to Honorable Dao Moody, Attorney
General, has been referred to mu
for attention..
Prom your letter of above data,
ft appears thpt during tba *7tb
Legislature Panola County was plac-
ed within the provisions of the
statutes relating to tba prohibition of
certain stock from running at large
upon the adoptioa of the voters in
certain defined'districts. This stat-
ute was carried forward with Panola
County include*; by amendments
In the 36tb and 39tb Legislatures,
ae shown by the Acts of the 3kth
Legislature, page 1P4, the tfith Leg-
islature. page 274.
It Is to he observed that the
Revised Civil Statutes of 1926. as young fruit sugared considerably,
codified, left Panola County out of Several hard rains have
the provisions made ia Article Mil.
Under the foregoing statement of
facto, you desire advice ae to where,
prior to September let, 1926. the time
i|»«t the statutes aa codified became
effective, and where a given dis-
trict had ia apmpliance with the law
voted to adapt the stock law, at
which lime Panola Conaty wan In-
cluded within the statutes, daaa the
omnUsion of Panola Conaty by the
codifiers make sack election Invalid
and of no affect, or If each district
still stands under the alack law ax
voted hr tba people prior to the
codifying of the statutes.
The 99th Legislature at lie Rego
lar Session, Chapter 99, page 274,
Amended Article 7236, of the Rertsed
Civil Statutes of 1911, provldoa among
other tblnga that upon the written
petition of 100 freeholders of Panoln
County, or upon the petition of 26
freeholders of any such subdivision
of said county as may be described
in the petition, or a one-third of such
freeholders In such subdivision and
defined by the commissioners’ court
of such county, the commissioners’
court of said county shall bold an
election to determine whether horses,
mules, Jacks, jennets and cattle shall
be permitted to run at large in anch
county, or subdivision thereof, as
may be described In the petition, end-
defined by the commissioners’ court.
The Codifying Commission placed
Chapter 99, Acts of the 39th Legis-
lature, at its regular seaalon, in the
Revised Civil Statutes, 1926, but
omitted therefrom Panola County.
Seetlon 21 of the Final Title, R. C.
S. 1926, page 2421, provides “that
nothing In this Act shall be c-ontru-
ed to repeal or in anywise affect
the validity of any law passed by
this Legislature in its regular ses-
sion.”
You are therefore advised that
the failure of the Codifying Commis-
sion to include Panola County In
Article 6964, In no way affecta the
validity of Chapter 99, Acta of the
39th Legislature at its regular ses-
sion, and such provisions aa existed
prior to the enactment of such stat-
ute, still exist. That la to aay, tha
same stauatory provisions that have
heretofore governed and controlled
stock law elections In so far as
horses, mules, Jacks. Jennets and
cattle are concerned, are still ef-
fective and govern such matters at
this time.
Yours very truly,
C. L. STONE.

TO TH* PANOLA WATCHMAN:
Dear Editor:
Would you allow me to say a few
words to the people that God creat-
ed, In regard to Ferguson ism and
monkeys? Doubtless many of yen
bare read the story about the
monkeys amt the cats. We people
that God created can readily see
that God created the Fergusons be-
cause they have reasoning power and
a forgiving spirit- God says, “If
thy brother sin against ye seventy
times seven in a day forgive him. ’
So you see this monkey crowd knows
nothing about forgiving. When they
were in the governor’s chair they
got all the cheese and God’s people
got nothing! I believe it would puy
us better to give the Fergusons
$60,090 a year to run the Stn* ?’e
business than to give the monkey
crowd the chair for when (hey did
have it they got it all, so let me
plead with you people that God
created to stay with the Fergusons.
W. H. E. PIERCE.
