We are affirming the judgment in this case for a fine of $100 and 60 days in jail because we think (1) it was not error for the court to try the appellant in his absence; and (2) there was sufficient com? petent evidence showing • .that . Laprel County was local option territory at the time the appellant was. charged with-. the offense of selling whiskey therein.

The motion for an appeal is overruled and the judgment is affirmed. ■ ¡ ■ ■ ,
