Mr Epjis inquired of the watchman at Sautee: "Sa^T, suppose we get off huuting down this swamp, is there any danger of our crossing the river without knowing it?" The idea of crossing Santee river on foot without knowing it! During the investigation which was subse-i quentlv held, he was called j upon to explain what he meant; by such a question, which he; did by saying he thought there j might be a toll bridge spme j where down the river. He was! then asked; "Suppose there was I a bridge, do you think you might j cross on that without knowing' it?" To which he replied; "Oh, no, I would know it. But when; I got across I would not know j whether 1 was on the other side or not". His friends have but little hope of his recovery.

The circuit court (Judge Watte) holding each of said acts unconstitutional, null and void, adjudged (1) that the general stock law is operative in that part of Williamsburg county, exempted frcm its operation by the acts above mentioned, and (2) that the defendants should be enjoined accordingly. The dedefendants appealed. Section 6 of article? 10 of the present constitution is not retrospective, but relates to future action by the legislature. Constitutions, like statutes, must be construed as acting prospectively unless a contrary intent appear* by express language or necessary implication. Ex parte Jeter, 64 S C 407, 42 S E 196.
