into the gambling game and once in it

highest class and most exclusive
gambling club in the United States.
There were restrictions on gambling in
Long Branch in the '70s when DAILY
formed his Pennsylvania Club, but
Daly's genius was great enough not
only to overcome petty Instructions in
the path of the sport but to max Long

The club was distinguished for it's
luxury, it's cuisine and it's high play,
but perhaps more than for anything
else for It's reputation during Days

He would allow no sharp practise or

residents of Long Branch to play in his
club.

So trusted was Phil Daily by his

their gambling money with MIN. They
would deposit with him $4,000 or $780,.

and play against the deposit. At the

A SANE CHRISTMAS.
The Good Effect of Prohibition Is
Seen ThroughOut the State.

Inc UoOu EHect OF Prohibition Is
Seen Throughout the State.
Editor of The News: Through all
the glad music of the merry Yuletide
there has sounded out clear and
strong one triumphant note that has
rolled and reverberated throughout
the length and breadth of our great
empire state-a paean of praise for
statewide prohibition. 1t is a pleas
ing record the press carries of "the
sanest, most joyous Christmas in our
history The daily and weekly pa
pers bring from almost every section
of Georgia the cheering information
that drinking and rowdyism. which
have formerly characterized the
CHRISTMAS season, were this year
practically eliminated" AS one of
the Atlanta papers puts it, 1.-The old
way of debasing ones self with
strong drink is passing" The mer-
chants in the cities, as we'll as in the
smaller towns, tell of a record
breaking business, more substantial
than ever before, and many people
are having their eyes opened to the
blessings of prohibition along com
mercial lines, as well as from a
moral standpoint.
II Dawson has failed to keep pace
with her neighbors in this movement
towards better things it argues moth
ing against the large majority of our
citizens. Though on the surface
local affairs may not appear to be
moving just right there is in Terrell
county a strong undercurrent of pro-
hibition sentiment grows stronger
each day, and will ultimately
sweep out that which laxity of law
now makes possible. Those who
anxiously watch for a brighter day
in the moral atmosphere of our com
munity can well afford to bide the
time in patience, for the old order
passeth' and this happy New Year
with Browning we can confidently
sing of this fair city and our splendid
county, THE best is yet to be-"

DROP FAILED TO BREAK NECK
HENRY BELL HUNG So MINUTES
BEFORE BEING TAKEN DOWN.
Walked With Steady Step to the Gal

Being Launched Into ETERNITY.

Walked With Steady Step to the Gal
lows. Had Nothing to Say Before
Being Launched Into Eternity.
Henry Bell, a young negro who
killed John Jackson at festival
near Graves one night in the fall of
1908, paid the penalty with his life
last Thursday morning.
The clock was striking eleven
when Sheriff Hill went to the cell of
the condemned man to take him to
that part of the prison where the
galloWs is located, and in a few min
utes the trigger of the death tran
was sprung and the launch into eter-
nifty was made.
Bell walked to the gaIlows with
a firm and steady step, and was calm
and collected through the ordeal He
was silent through it all, and no word
was heard to pass his lips except a
negative reply when Sheriff Hill
asked him if he had anything to saw.
The fall did not break Bells neck,
and he strangled to death For
twenty minutes there were signs of
lie, and 1T was not until thirty-five
minutes after the drop that the body
was taken down.
Besides two negro ministers and
Dr. Guy Cappell, the county physi-
clan' about dozen people witnessed
the execution. A hundred or two
negroes were gathered around the
Jail all the morning hoping, in their
morbid curiosity, to see or hear some
thing in connection with the execu-
ton of their unfortunate fellow-be-
ing.
None of the relatives of the con-
demned man witnessed the execu-
ton, and his wife did not come to
town to take final leave of him. A
cousin from Richland took charge of
the body, and carried it to that place
for burial.

ELECTED BUT CAN'T QUALIFY
MUST WATT ON THE REPEAL OF
A CITY ORDINANCE.
Will Be Month Before New Water
and Light superintendent
Goes Into Office.

OOSS InJO OInce.
Elected to an Office, but can't take
possession of it is the predicament in
which Mr.. F. NJ McNulty, the newly
elected superintendent of the water
and light department of the city
finds himself.
Mr.. McNulty, as is well-known, is
the popular superintendent of the
Atlantic Compress Co. in Dawson,
and the fact that he holds this posi-
ton conflicts with a city ordinance
which provides that certain city Off
Gals and employees shall not engage
in other employment while in the
municipal service.
Mr.. McNulty appeared before the
council at a special meeting of that
body Saturday morning and request
ed that this ordinance be repealed
in order that he might assume the
duties of his Office. An ordinance
was introduced repeating the ordi-
nance in question, but another or
dinance, which says that no ordi-
nance can be adopted at the meeting
at which it is read except by unani-
nous consent, afforded a means for
blocking it's passage. Alderman
Baldwin objected to the adoption of
the repeating ordinance, and that
sent it over to the next regular meet
ing of the council in February, when
it will come up for passage.
Mr.. McNulty accepted the situation
philosophically, and Mr.. C. H. Ped
dy, the retiring superintendent, was
sent for and arrangements made with
him to continue in the position until
February, when the new superintend-
ent expects to be able to qualify af-
ter the meeting of the council.
1t is understood that Mr.. McNulty
has agreed for the salary of 800
month paid the superintendent to
not only look after the business
affairs of the department, but to
have all necessary wiring done and
keep up repairs on lines and water
mains, for which the city has here
tofore paid extra, amounting to 5000
or $500 year.

lows:

DAWSON WILL HAVE HER NIGH RFFR
Council Held Special Meeting Early Saturday Morning and
Authorized $500 a Year

Dawson is going to quaff the foamy
suds in 1910, as usual.
The city council has authorized
the sale of nigh beer and fixed the
license at 5000, which is just double
the tax of 1909.
This was done Saturday morning
at a special meeting of the council
that was called for the purpose of
hearing a partial report from Alder
men Baldwin, Jennings and Duebler,
who had been appointed a committee
to prepare the license tax ordinance.
The committee recommended that the
beer license be fixed at 5000, and the
cigarette license at $25. The report
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1910-01-05

was adopted, and the council ad-
journed.
The beer business is, perhaps, 60
ing to be better this year than ever
before. Under the new state law
governing beer saloons the sale of
nigh" is prohibited in any town
of less than $500 population as
shown by the census of 1900, and
the operation of this act has closed
all of the saloons in Terrell county
except those in Dawson.
The beer dealers in Bronwood
Parrot and Sasser have all been put
out of business. Besides Dawson the
only other places in all of this sec
ton where beer is sold are Albany
Americas and Cuthbert.
