The demurrer was overruled, and, the Southern Cotton Oil Company declining to plead further, judgment was entered forfeiting its permit to do business, in the State, except such as might be and constitute interstate commerce. The judgment was affirmed by the Court of Civil Appeals. A *135 rehearing was denied, and a writ of error from the Supreme Court of the State refused. This writ of error was then sued out.
The questions are identical with those presented in the preceding case, and on its authority the judgment -of the Court of Civil Appeals is
Affirmed.
