Indictment for Violation of Stock Law
 Appeal from the City Court of
 Gadsden.
 1. Constitutionality of statute pre- venting stock from running at large in certain beats of Etowah County The act approved December 2. 1900, amending an act ito prevent stock from running at large in several beats and parts of beats in Etowah County, ap- proved February 8, 1S9s," (Acts 19O0- 1901, p. 170), which provides that when ever ten freeholders or householders in any beat or part of beat in Etowah County, shall petition the Probate Judge of said county. asking for an election in said beat or part of beat, to decide whether stock should be prohib- ited from running at large therein, the Probate Judge shall order an election in such beat or part of beat to decide whether stock shall be prohibited from running at large in said beat or part of beat, is not unconstitutional and void being an authorized delegation of legislative authority. and Is not sub Ject to the objections Sthat it does not define either the boundaries within which the stock law is to be operated or the persons who are to determine by their votes whether or not the law shall go into effect.
 2. Indictment for violation of stock law; suff1ciency thereof.-In an in- dictment for the violation of a local law prohibiting stock from running at large within a designated territory, it Is not necessary to aver the various proceedings required by said local act to be gone through in establishing the stock law in said district.
 8. Same; same.-An indictment for h. ing for the establishment of a stock law district, and which confers juris- diction upon a Justice of the Peace within said district for violation of said statute. Is not subject to the objection that the offense was a misdemeanor, triable only by Justice of the Peace, since the Jurisdiction conferred upon a Justice of the Peace is not exclusive, and all misdemeanors are indictable of lenses.
 4. Statute establishing stock law district; courts take judicial knowledge thereof.-A local statute providing for the establishment of stock law districts in particular county. which extends to all persons who may come within the territory described. though local. is public in its nature, and is statute of which the courts take judicial knowl- edge.
 5.

This Is Decision of the Cincinnati
 Chamber of Commerce.

Cincinnati, Nov. e.-The basic price of whiskey, which Saturday last was disturbed by a reported sale at 1.2S and 124 has been established, on the Chamber of Commerce at 1.24.
 The sale reported at 1.2S by repre- sentative of the whiskey trust was challenged and suspended and hear ing was had before the officers ot the Chamber of Commerce. It was louhd unon inc hearing that the sale was not in accordance with the rules of the chamber and was void.
 It was found that the cut from Sl.24 to SIPS was nominal, as while the basic price was lowered one cent, the lover" price was raised one cent thus making the basis really unchanged.
