HOUSE
SUPREME COURT DECIDES IN FA-
 y0R OF COLUMBIANA.
Case of Birmtnrham License Inspector h Heverued--A WhisIey seil- lag Case From Clarke
 County.

The last echo of the one time famous hsht to move the court house CT Shei- by county from Columhiana to Calera was heard yesterday in the Supreme Court of Alabama. IL is all over now and tile court house remains at colum- biana.
 The Supreme Court yesterday only cleared the docket of the cases which grew out of the Shelby county court house controversy. There were a coup le or hold over cases and the court merely dismissed them. These were suits brought by John A. Campbell and others seeking to restrain the authori- ties of shelby county from issuing bonds or in otherwise raising funds for tho building of court house at Ca lers. While the cases were pending the Supreme Court declared the act moving the court house unconstitu- tlonal and therefore other suits grow ing out of the affair had no reason for existence.
 4. A. oiambill city license inspector or Birmingham will hear of the action of the Supreme Court of yesterday with deep gratitude. By yesterdays action MT. G.lJnbill Is relieved at least for a time inc need of paying out the sum of sT4o.

 Asio0 WcS dffeStFu tU q NdifdHt sworn out by the license inspector on the declaration that he had not taken out the licenrs as required by law But 1t aopeared that Mir. Fuqua had duly talk en out his license. And thereupon he brought the license inspector into court prisonment. The court gave Mfr Flu qua verdict for s745. But the Su- prsme Court yesterday reversed the de- cision of the lower court on the ground that the court refused charges which should have been given to the jury
 Robert Duke of Clarke county, did not fare so well at the hands of the whiskcy in prohibition county. He put up the novel plea that he never sold the whiskey for mcney but for cheeks of a lumber company which had no intrinsic value. His defense was that he did not receive money for the whiskey he disposed of but that the buyers paid hIm with trade checks on a Clarke county lumber company. The high court disposed of Dukes de- fense by declaring that the checks were equivalent to money and that the law of prohibition for Clarke county had been violated.
