   PELHAM, J.

This is an appeal on the record, and the only question presented to the court is the constitutionality of section 2 of the act regulating the right to carry a pistol in this state. — Acts Sp. Sess. 1909, p. '258.

Defendant’s contention is not well taken. The act in question has been held not to be violative of the Constitution by the Supreme Court.—Jacob Isaiah v. State, 58 South. 53, at present term.

Affirmed.
