utes. ...
i This was an action to enjoin
the county commissioners and
'county treasurer of Williams;burg
from levying or collecting
; the tax or contribution author;
ized and required by the several
, siatui.es exempting certain por
tions of said county from the
j operations of the general stock
! law?namely, the act of Decem;
ber23, 1882, the act of December
24, 1883, and the act of December
24, 1884?the complaint a1\
leging that each of said acts is
contrary to certain provisions |
of the present constitution.
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.

It is not suggested that the
