FRIENDS SEEK TO
AID DR. BAGLEY
Delegation Mav Make
Appeal To judge
Evans
A movement for intercession with j
Judge Evans, of the South Georgia [
federal court, in behalf of Dr. H. A. |
iC. Bagley, of Sumter county, sen-1
i fenced this week to serve nine months !
jin the federal penitentiary on a|
’ plea of guilty of violating the anti- j
I narcotic act, has been started here, j
I and it is said to be likely that a dele-1
i gation of his neighbors in the Twen- >
I ty-eighth district may go to Macon j
!to present to Judge Evans a plea
j for modification of the sentence im-j
posed.
I One of the chief reasons for the I
contemplated action is that Dr. Bag- '
ley is 70 years of age, and many of i
them feel that the humiliation of j
serving a prison term in the twilight j
of his life, after many years of use- j
fulness, would crush him and proba
j bly result in him never leaving prison '
j alive. Another is that they feel he j
; was the victim of a trap set for him j
I by the federal investigator making j
j the case, falling unwittingly into it. j
They also feel that he acted unwise- ■
ly in not employing an able attorney ’
to represent him in the case, and I
that the result might have been much |
different had he been ably advised and j
had his own advocate appearing for i
him, instead of merely employing a j
Macon attorney to enter his plea of
guilty, formally and making a brief
statement to the court to save him j
the personal embarrassment of doing ,
I it. The sentence of anything more .
than a fine came as a distinct surprise j
to him and his friends.
| Dr. Bagley is the son of a New' i
England man who immigrated to Sumi
I ter county many years ago. He was j
: born and reared on the scene of his I
present home arid his practiced medi
cine as a country physician since a
young man in his native locality. He
is held in high esteem by all who
know him and, as one of his friends
put, “has done good all of his life,
instead of harm.” He has many
family connections who are among
the most prominent people of the
community.
Dr. Bagley’s friends feel that a
personal appeal by them to Judge
Evans may result in a suspension or
modification of the sentence that will
prevent him having to serve the sen
tence imposed.
Dr. Bagley is at home here, having
been given a stay of sentence.
Makes Lot Blossom
And Earn Pin Money
Women seeking some means to
earn a little pin money for their
own spending would do well to emu
late the example of Mrs. A. J. Wil
liams, who resides on Forrest street.
Early this spring Mrs. Williams
moved to the old Lockett home on
Forrest street, with its ample acre
age about it, and set about immedi
ately planning how she might make
i the place blossom like the rose, not
merely with flowers to put in a hang
ing basket on the porch, but with
melons and fruits and vegetables of
all kinds.
Saturday Mrs. Williams sent to the
Times-Recorder office one of ihe
finest Kleckley Sweet melons of the
season. This melon has many com
panions which will find their way into
the homes of Americus to be enjoyed
by familiies who have not the space
to raise their own.
Aside from both water melons and
cantaloupes, Mrs. Williams has an
abundance of fresh butterbems, to
matoes, okra, roasting ears, and oth
er vegetables of the midsummer sea
son.
As soon as one product is market
ed, Mrs. Williams sets about plant
ing other crops which will come into
the markets in the course of the
summer, thus affording a constant
source of revenue.
She has made a complete reforma
tion in the lot, growing flowers in
connection with the produce. Health
is the result of her outdoor exercise,
as well as a contended mind and a
happy spirit.
Mrs. Williams has produced not

CONGREGATION
GAINS 200 PCT
Six More Added To
Christian Church On
Sunday
(Contributed.)
The Christian church revival meet
ing being held in the court house
reached its greatest development and
interest yesterday, when at both
services the largest audiencies yet
listened to Evangelist Ramsey as he
reasoned and pleaded with people to
accept the will of God and honor
His Son. During the day there were
four confessions of faith and two
added by statement. These make
21 accessions during the meet
ing and give the local congregation
a membership of fifty-eight. This
is nearly a two hundred per cent
increase since organization in April.
Mr. Ramsey’s sermons of yester
day were exceptionally strong and
helpful. There can- be no misunder
standing him and his call to service
for the Savior was most striking
and convincing. Last night he show
ed the work of the forces of evil
as against righteousness in the sin
of substitution. He urged that we
do not try to substitute anything for
the Bible, the church, of the plain
teaching of truth. He fearlessly
pointed out the sin of religious di
visions and the evil results accruing
therefrom. Those whol heard him
must thoughtfully consider the force
ful statements made and supported
; with words from Divine writ.
, The meeting goes on indefinitely
this week. It is hoped the evange
list may complete the entire week.
The subject for tonight is “The Re
turn to Jerusalem.” Where will we
find the Jerusalem gospel, church
and teaching? Eight p. m. is the
hour.
