A FIGHT WITH INCONSISTENCIES.

and Adjoining Counties.

Illicit distilling is breaking out
again. Revenue officers report to
headquarters at Asheville, n. c., that
fully so plants have been seized and
destroyed in the mountain section of
this State and in the border counties
of Virginia during the past few
months. A dispatch from North
Wllkesboro, n. c.. under date of
June 4th, says that a desperate en-
counter between government officials
and mountain distillers was fought
late Friday afternoon at the lower
end of Todd Darnell's place, known
as the hotbed of Wilkes County dis
tillers. The officers were finishing a
raid of two days when they approach
ed the supposed location of distil-
lery on Darnell's place, and Just as
they emerged from a deep ravine they
were fired upon from ambush. More
than 100 shots were exchanged, and
1t is known that some of the moon
sinners received injuries, though
whether or not they were fatal was
not learned.
Other distilleries were located in
deep ravines Of the Blue Ridge noun
talns, all having the appearance of
much operation and enjoying a big
trade. The officers state that the
larger part Of the output of this
contraband fluid is sold in Ashe
County at 50 per gallon.
