Two hundred and fifty whiskey , distilleries with S17U.UC0 capital i invested and 850.000 annual profits, j will he put out of business in North | Carolina on July 1. The only al tentative is that they move to incorporated towns or cities. The Watts bill, which has passed its final reading in the general as- ' eembly, prohibits the manufacture i of alcoholic liquors in the country, 1 and affords every facility to the ' towns to exclude the business by ' popular vote. Urban public sen- | timejit bein^ decidedly unfavorable to liquor uiannfncturin^, that means the abolition of the busi- ! ness in the state. Without exception, so far as can pe learned the distllin^ industry in North Carolina is eon lined to remote places ~ iii * iitt v>uu ii 11 y . The enforcement of such a law would put the distillers out of business. There was no concealment upon the part of the patrons of the hill that iis purpose was to 1 destroy ihe liquor-making industry and it was pas-ed with that understanding by ineinhers who voted I for it. The only exemption from the ' ett'eot of the i;e ii era I provisions of the net is in favor of farmers who make wine or brandy on their own premises from fruit produced thereon, but who are not permitted to sell it in quanities of less than five gallons. Big Suit to Rtcovtr Valuable Land. Kock Hill Herald. Walter M. Dunlap, Ksq.. conn- j sel for the heirs at law of the late A. T. Black, has begun the initiatory proceedings in a snit in which a number of our business men are interested, as well as the city council and the Southern Kailwav. The snit will look to the recovery of four acres of land in Kock Hill, deeded to the CliHrlotte and South Carolina Railroad Co. by A. T. .Black October 21, 1851, and rents lor btliloincs tlmt Imve he?>n ed thereon by sundry individuals, who, contracting with that railroad company and the Southern Hallway, present owner, have agreed to vacate the lands on which the buildings have been erected upon thirty ilaya notice to that effect being given. The heirs at law will contend that since the railroad company line granted sundry persons permission to erect building* for buwinesH piKposeson the lands, and as they are not being "used for the legitimate purposes of the railroad," as set forth in the do d, the land should revert to the estate of A.
