Opinions

Appellant was charged by information with a violation of the local option law. He was convicted, and his punishment assessed at a fine of $50 and imprisonment in the county jail for a term of thirty days. A motion was made to quash the affidavit and information. We have examined the grounds of the motion, and find they are not sustained by the record. The affidavit and information are in good form, and properly set out the offense sought to be charged. The statement of facts can not be considered, because not approved by the trial judge. The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
