The Watts Bill Is The Law. What is known as the Watts liquor bill is now the law, hav ing passed the Legislature last week.' - It goes into effect July . 1st 1903 The bill prohibits the manu facture and sale of whiskey ex cept in incorporate towns, and the town 8 can say by a vote whether or not the business be allowed within the incorpora tion. The bill does not effect the making of brandy, wine, cider, etc., except that brandy can no! be sold in quantities less than five gallons nor wi ne. in quantities less than one gallon. Nor is the purchaser allowed to drink on the premises where purchased. There is very much difference of opinion as to the effects and wisdom of the law some like it, some dou't. Conservative temperance people think that if the law is properly -backed up and enforced it will work out good. The extreme pro hibition people do not like it and are throwing cold water" on it. r The liquor men are mad at it. The Eederal revenue of Seers are prouounced against it They say it encourages and fosters blockading; that every hollow will be perfumed with blockade whiskey it -is also privately feared that some of the revenue force will have to go out of business. With these forces, backed by the republican party, opposed to the law, it is not probable that it will get a fair chance to see how it would work. FEDERAL COUBT. Tiro Terms EsUblishei at Wilkes boro.
