Thomasvllle gentlemen who
n on a fishing trip to Wakul
la county Florida tell of a peculiar
decision made there last week. The
Florida legislature passed a law
1 lug H unlawful i<> scim- for mul-
i' i after Uu 6th of December. This
almost broke the heart of Florida
fishermen and one of them decided
to make a tost caso He seined and
was duly arrested A The case came
up for trial before the county judge
of Wakulla county and he * was re
leased. r
The decision was based upon pecu
liar grounds, say the Thomasvllle
travellers. The judge declared that
tho laws of the state of Florida are
of no avail In the county of Wakulla
and indeed that Wakulla county Is
rjo part of tho state of Florida. The
reason for this strange edict is that
before tho cession of Spanish terri
tory to the United States by which
Florida became a part of tho Union,
Wakulla county had boon sold by
Spain to a man named Forbes. In
asmuch as Spain did not own Wakul;
la county it could not soil It to the
United States. Hence anybody who
wants to fish can do so. And it Is
said they are more than fishing in
W&ftulla while the-rest of the state
is fish hungry.
