Montgomery. May s0.-(Special)- That the Fuller bIll is still operative in the state with reference to trans porting liquor from a wet county to dry county, and that the local option acts of 1911 did not repeal the pro- hibition law in any counties Is the sub stance of decision rendered today by the supreme court of Alabama.
 The courts decision was in the case of the Western Railway of Alabama vs. the Capitol Brewing and Ice company of Montgomery, which grew out of the issuance of a writ Of mandamus by the city court of Montgomery compelling the railroad company to transport liquor from Montgomery county to Lee county.
 In the lower court 1t was held that the act of 1911. regulating the sale and manufacture of liquors. repealed the Fuller bill providing against trans porting liquor into a dry county. and issued a writ of mandamus compelling the railroad company to accept for shipment such goods.
 In the decision of the supreme court 1t is held that "the right to manufac- ture and sell liquors In a certain local ity does not carry with 1t the right to carry these goods to another locality where the sale is prohibited by law"
 Tn fact" declares the court. "the whole spirit of the local option laws is that each locality shall have the right to regulate It's own affairs on this subject
 Regarding the liability of puhHc service corporation In transporting wet goods into a dry county, the court de- clares~that this question need not be considered.
 The opinion was written by Judge Simpson and was concurred in by all the justices of the court
 The supreme court affirmed the de- cision of the Lee county law and equi- ty court in sentencing Hubbard Perry. a negro, to be hanged for the killing of Doll Perry, which occurred In 1910. The court fixed Friday, July 12, as the day for execution
 The court handed down a large num- Der of other decisions on Thursday most of which were of minor intrest. The list Is as follows:
 Dowdell, c. J.-W. B. Veal vs. George H. Whittemore ct al, appeal from Jeff ferson chancery court: reversed. rem dered and remanded
 Simpson, J.-Caroline Braun vs. l.. G. Pettyjohn ct al, appeal from Jefferson chancery court; reversed and re- handed
