SIMPSON, JUDGE.

¶1 The defendant was convicted of possessing a moonshine still in DeKalb County.

¶3 As to these two issues, the evidence was in sharp conflict; that for the State substantially proving the affirmative of eagh, and that for the defendant tending to sustain his contention.

¶4 Under this state of the evidence, a jury question was presented. The court correctly refused the several requested affirmative charges.
