SAMFORD, Judge.

On the trial the defendant interposed a demurrer to the indictment, ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‍which demurrer was, by the Court, overruled. Thereupon, the cause proceeded to trial upon the plea of not guilty, upon which plea ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‍was returned a verdict of guilty, and the judgment of the Court was rendered on said verdict.

The demurrer is filed to the indictment ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‍as a whole, therefore, if any count of the indictment charges an offense, the demurrer is properly overruled.

We hold that each count of ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‍the ; indictment sufficiently charges the defendant with a violation of the law, and that . neither count was subject to the ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‍demurrer.

There is no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed.
