STILLS WILL KEEP ON : J Constitutionality of the Watts Act to Be Put to the test Asheville, N. C, June 27. Special. There will certainly be a conflict in the mountain counties between federal and state authorities over enforcement of the Watts law. The fact became known today that a large number of distillers jtiave during the past two days notified the collector's office that they would continue to operate their distil leries after the first of the month, and the surprising information was today received rom the commissioner of in ternal revenue that the bonds of all distillers who sought them would be renewed. ' It now appears that scores 6f arrests will be made, and this in turn meqtns that an early decision on the constitutionality of the Watts law vMll bf Imnprntivp . "Mrt nnlxr -IViSc? V.... ' distilleries cannst run without the su- nnan s nf dpnutv collectors anq storekeepers and gaugers, and the fact developed today that the collector would, as a matter, of course, assign such officers to duty whenever a dis tiller expressed his determination to continue operations. Every day that a distiller persists in running the situation will become more complicated, as under the provisions of the Watts law, every succeeding day constitutes a separate offence. The government will protect storekeepers and gaugers to the extent that their cases will be transferred to the federal courts where they will be defended by the district attorney whenever they are charged with being .accessories to the crime of distilling. It is declared that neither the commissioner of Internal revenue nor the collector has any dis- j position to antagonize the state author ities, but they simply do not see how they can consistently act otherwise in view of either the letter or spirit of the revenue laws. They will insist that their attitude is anything but an act of defiance. ' . . TEMPERANCE IN UNION Relentless War to Be Made - on Blind Tigers Monroe, N. C, June 27. Special. The Anti-Whisliey League of Union county held its regular monthly meeting here this afterroon in the court house and was well attended.
