"Teddy" Wakefield Held-Up By Brigands

Last evening four commercial tourists

Wakefield, Russell, Stone and Weston.
Wakefield, always having an eye to busi-
ness and to save time, went to Center

After he had gone the other three thought

and so at a late hour arrayed themselves

Now, but for lone slip of the cogs,"
this would have been a real hold-up, just
such as you read about, but seldom see

trio telephoned up to Campbell and asked
him to let him know just when Teddy
was about to start back. Campbell

and his driver started homeward pre-
pared to meet the hold-ups, who, sure
enough, pounced out and tackled the
team ina dark and dreary place.

w. G. U. NOTES
By the Dawson Chapter.

w. T. Smedley, Lagrange druggist
who was convicted for a violation OF
the prohibition law for selling di-
luted alcohol to some of his best GUS
toners as cocktail, will have to
abide by the sentences handed him
by the city court of LAGRANGE. The
Georgia court of appeals, in affirming
the judgment of the trial court, says:
alcohol cannot lawfully be sold by
a druggist for the purpose of being
used as a beverage" The record of
the case showed that Smedley did not
even require a doctors prescription
to dispense the alcohol, but sold it
right and left in the pure and cock
tall form.

The fttest uses a doctor can make
of alcohol are to preserve dead It's

alarming symptoms, in time associ-
ated with diseases of degenerative
character affecting in the lines of

careful consideration. In the prog

drinking lowers the vitality and

other pronounced factor All ra-
tiOnal surgery and treatment of dis
ease takes into serious account the
question of the use of alcohol by the
patient. This is science and not
sentiment or theory. AS a citizen,
with eyes opened perhaps a little
wider because of my medical train
