BOULDIN, Justice.

This court has fully considered the several grounds upon which the ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‍constitutionality of the act in question is assailed. They are fully treated and correctly decided in the opinion of the Court of Appeals. We ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‍see no occasion for further discussion of these questions on our part.

Touching the insistence here made that this act does not in terms repeal ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‍certain sections of the general law, it is sufficient to say: Being an original and not an amendatory act, it repeals, in the counties ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‍designated, such provisions of existing law as ‘are in direct conflict therewith. *151 This, under the well-known rule that the last expression of the legislative will ‍‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​‍is the law.

Writ denied.
