LEESBURG HAS SENSATION.
CASH UNACCOUNTED FOR AND WHISKY
WATERED IN DISPENSARY.
One Barrel Seized by the United States
Officials. The Doors of the lnsti-
tuition Temporarily Closed.

News reached Dawson last Thursday
of sensation in Leesburg caused by
the removal of the manager of the dis
pensary at thai place for IRREGULAR
ties.
There seems to have been both ir-
regularities in the management and a
shortage in cash. The doors of the
dispensary have been temporarily
closed, and it seems that the institu-
tion is in bad shape generally.
The board of commissioners have
taken stock, and found that nearly all
the whiskey had been badly watered,
which would show up more actual gal
ions but less whiskey. AS result the
dispensary stock will have to very
probably be nearly all replaced. 1t
has also developed that the manager,
Mr., w. w. Hooks, is short in his ac-
counts nearly $1,000.
One barrel of whiskey was seized by
the officials of the United states gov
ernment because the contents OF the
barrel did not show the proof that
was stamped on the barrel. The marks
on the barrel showed that when the
whiskey was received it was 1l8 PROOF,
and when tested just before it was
seized by the officials it bad been re-
duced to rs by adulteration.
Up to the present management the
Leesburg dispensary has for several
wears shown good profit every year,
and has prevented the levy of town
taxes on the citizens, besides giving
enough money to pay the public
schools considerable sums. The pres
ent year has been disastrous one, II
seems, as far as profits are concern
ed.
The facts developed by the investi'
CATION have created big sensation in
Leesburg. Mr.. Hooks has always
stood high and was we'll thought OF.

of Mr.. and Mrs. J, E. Newberry, who
were residents of Dawson for many
years, died in Albany Friday after

"The community deeply sympathizes
with Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Newberry in
the death of their fifteen-year-old son,
Willie P. Newberrv, which occurred
yesterday afternoon at quarter after
5 o'clock.
"The young man submitted to an OPP
Grafton for appendicitis on Thursday.
His illness began Sunday and did not
weld to the treatment applied by the
attending physicians. AS last resort
Doctors Bacon, Davis and Welch on
Thursday morning performed an oper.
alton which gave every promise OF
success and the restoration OF the pa
tient to health and strength.
"a few hours after the operation,
however, the young mans heart show
ed signs of weakness, and this compli
cation it was which finally cost him
his life. He grew steadily weaker I'M
til the end, which came at the time
above stated.
"Willie P. Newberry was splendid
boy and promised to make good man
He was energetic and attentive to duty,
for long time having been employed
in the offices of the Georgia Cotton
Company. He took more serious
view of life than do most boys of his
age, and his associates were wont tt
say of him that he was 'as gentle as

save the life of his only daughter.
One might almost conclude her
tragic ending was ret1ibution
merited by, her sacrilegious sire for
his methods of obtaining money
under false pretenses. Be that as it
may, the circumstances of the death
of Miss Dowie ought to teach people
generally to have a little sense; to
realize that physical statutes are as
memorable as the moral code. There
is no such thing as instantaneous
healing. A broken bone must have
time to knit hemorrhage, from con-
fusion must abide the slow process
of absorption. Natures .construc-
tive processes are slow. 1t is easier
to tumble into a we'll than to climb
out. There are injuries to the body
which leave ineffaceable scars ;other
are perhaps of necessity fatal, in
which event prayers and demon
strtaions and all that sort of tommy
rot might better be cut out while
an intelligent physician is called in
to do what, may be done to tighten
the physical torture. To do less
than that is a crime and ought to be
so recognized by proper statutory
enactment in every state. Dowie

merits, but no one with heart can
help feeling sorry for him in his
irreparable loss.
