Especial to News and Observer


Yadknville, N. c., July 11.-Of the thirty
or forty whiskey distilleries in operation
in this county before July LIST, only eight
remain as the result of the Watts law.
But for the incorporation of the country
districts of Shore and Williams for the
express purpose of permitting whiskey dis
tilleries there would not be one in the
county l am informed, however, that
one distillery is running on in defiance
of the law The wonder is that they all
did not run on since it is a well estab
lished fact that the so-called government
distilleries in this State are nothing more
nor less than sham, and fraud for the
purpose of evading the law, aided and as
sisted by the paid officer Of the United
States, the storekeeper and gauger.
1t is estimated that the increased valua.
ton of real and personal property of this
county will amount to more than hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
Internationally Yadkin is very much on
the up grade.

POPE's POEM ON DEATH.

In 1897 the Pope wrote the following
verses in Latin, recently translated into
English by Rev. III. T. Henry. Lit. D.:
DEATH
The westering sun draws near his cloudy
bed,
Leo, the gradual darkness wells thy head;
The sluggish life-blood in thy withered
veins
More slowly runs its course-w what then
remains?
Lo. Death is brandishing his fatal dart,

Lie under the cold stones.
But thy freed soul escapes her chains and
longs in flight
To reach the realms of light.
That is the goal she seeks: thither her
journey fares
Grant, Lord, my anxious prayers.
That with the citizens of Heaven, Gods
face and light
May ever thrill my sight;
That may see Thy face, Heavens queen,
whose mother love
Has brought me home above.
To Thee, saved through the tangles of
perilous way.
/ lift my grateful lay.
The above is the Pope's latest poetical
composition.

POPE LEO's PRAYER.

Leo, now sets they sun; pale in its dying
ray;
Black night succeeds the day.
Black night for thee wasted thy frame;
life's flood sustains
No more thy shrunken veins.
Death casts his fatal dart; robed for the
grave thy bones

efforts of the firemen put it out in few
