Watts Liquor Law Closes Down Many Plants In North Carolina. Raleigh. N. C. July 2. Aa a result of the Watt liquor regulation law. 27 distilleries have stopped business in Iredell county, ail these having been In the country. Only six of these were tteam distilleries. The distil lers sold their whisky at an average of 1.40 a gallon. Including the gov ernment tax of 11.10. The total sum received for the liquor made by these dlstllls-ie was only IS5.000. Many distillers .of the western district have renewed their bonds. They know this means arrest by the state officers July !. These arrests will be prompt ly an.! strictly made. The distillers appear to think that this will make a test of the constitutionality of the Watts law, which requires distilleries to be In Incorporated towns." The state officers take a very determined position. The revenue officers., as sert that 'they cannot decline to r new tns bonds whenever distillers seek them, end that they will assign a dep uty collector and storekeeper and ganger to duty wherever a distiller expresses his determination to contin ue operations. . Under the Watts law each' day's operation of a still outside of an In corpora ted town which grants & 11 cense, is a separate offense. It Is Intimated that If storekeepers and gaugers are arrested charged with be ing acccyory to the dlstllllngthe gov eminent will transfer their cases , to the federal court. Thus both Sides are 'drawn up ready for action July 1. The Watts law Is very carefully frawn, and the state authorities, as well db Senator Simmons, who was one of those who prepared It, are sure there Is no loophole of escape. TROUBLE AT STEELVILLE. MO.

The text of tile bul letin issued by physicians this morn ing, on the condition of the pope's health is as follows: V "Although his holiness passed, tne night altoost 'without sleep, he ls not so uneasy as he was' yesterday. The pope has been benefited by the in jection of digitalis and camphor, and the condition of his chest is normal. There Is a slight cough with, some ca tarrhal omission. s , Sufficient nourish ment has been taken. J The pulse is still weak, but not'lntermittent and the temperature is below normal.

The importance of such aii appointment, especially at the present moment, j is manifest when It is considered that at the pope's death the secretary of state ceases to exercise hie functions, which are assumed immediately by- the sec retary of the Consistorial congregation. .
