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.

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?
