NOTE.-Important changes in every part of the fundamental law ofthe State were made by the Constitutional Convention of 1901-2.
A great many of these changes did not go into full effect until aslate as Feb. 1, 1904; and some are yet to be made effective by theoperation of laws already passed or to be enacted hereafter. Underthe circumstances the author trusts he may be pardoned if someerrors or omissions are found in this work, but it is believedthat in all essential points it is in harmony with the provisionsof the Constitution and the laws of the State as they stand at thepresent time.
