¶1The conviction is for the unlawful possession for the purpose of sale in a dry area of liquor containing alcohol in excess of 4 per cent, by weight; penalty assessed at a fine of $100.
¶2The state’s attorney before this court concedes that the information is insufficient to charge an offense under the authority of Whitmire v. State (Tex.Cr.App.) 94 S.W.(2d) 742, in which case the holding was to the effect that the information must allege that an election had been held in the particular county which resulted in the prohibition of the act charged. The principle announced has been followed in several recent cases; namely, Grady v. State (Tex.Cr.App.) 97 S.W.(2d) 472; Coleman v. State (Tex.Cr.App.) 97 S.W.(2d) 701; Johnson v. State (Tex.Cr.App.) 95 S.W.(2d) 419; Kelly v. State (Tex.Cr.App.) 98 S.W.(2d) 998. See, also, Privitt v. State (Tex.Cr.App.) 98 S.W.(2d) 204.
¶3For the reason stated, the judgment is reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed.
