ARM SHOT OFF
AS RESULT OF
AN ACCIDENT
Which OCCURRED ON HUNT
Young EGesbuFg Attorney Suf-
fGred Painful Injury
Special to Times-Recorder.-

Le6SDul s, I'd, req. o.--AS he WdH
taking his shotgun from a buggy this
afternoon, preparatory to taking a
hunt, Dudley ]. Ragan, a prominent
young attorney, was shot through the
right arm just above the elbow when
the gun was accidentally discharged
Practically the entire contents of tie
load penetrated the arm.
There was no one in the buggy with
Mr.. Ragan at the time, but a young
boy named Cannon, who had no know
ledge of how to bind UP the wound
in order to stop the flow of blood,
while the wounded man was too we Tx
and exhausted from the shock and the
loss of blood to give directions. He
was brought at once to Leesburg from
the Heath plantation, seven miles from
town, where it was found necessary t.
amputate the injured member.
On account of the loss of blood, Mi
Ragan was very weak when the oper-
alton had been completed. He was
resting easily tonight, however, and il
is hoped that he will easily recover
from the wound. Had it not been foi
the fact that the blood from the wound
collected in his coat sleeve and formed
a heavy clot, it is thought that the
loss of blood alone would have prove
fatal before medical assistance coult
have been secured.
Mr.. Ragan is one of the ablest ant
most popular members of the loc'
bar, having begun the practice of Law
here two years ago. after gradual
| ing from the Mercer University Law
School He has been unusually sue
cessful. and is member of the firls
of Beazley & Ragan. He has a wild;

ton who will learn with regret of this

protection of the rights of others, is
in effect encouraging that son in the
idea that he is to Judge fir himself
as to which laws he will respect and
which he will violate. And yet how
many parents do these things, 30
them thoughtlessly, without giving
due consideration to the effect on the
boys mind or the trend that may be
given to his future course in life.
"The responsibility for the law
lessness of the coming generation
res's, in the main, on the parents OF
the present generation, on those whose
boys are now growing up. Parents
should, above all things, inculcate
respect for constituted authority, re
spect for the laws, whether they be
local, state or national, inculcate such
respect not only by word of mouth,
but in their own personal conduct.
Only in that way can the spread of
the lawless tendency of the American
people, of the people of our state and
section, be checked. Enough grave
problems will confront our people il
the future without adding to thell
that of defiant contempt for law, the
that men can individ-
ually select the laws they will OBJ
serve and those they will violate. And
the salvation of our land from this
evil, its preservation as democratic
government, and above all things, its
protection from reign of anarchy,
rests with the parents of the boys
who are now growing up. That !
believe, is the one thing that pulpit,
press and other public agencies eau
not stress too much, cannot keep too
before the public mind"

FIRST SATURDAY WAS
GOOD TRADING DAY
Business Was Brisk in Amer
iCuS Yesterday

Again was Americus the Mecca OF
traders yesterday, as from Sumter and
the surrounding country came hum
dreds of buyers upon business bent.
The first Saturday of each month Is
the busiest for the reason that FARM
ers on that date purchase the greater
portion of the supplies needed upoR
the farm, and yesterday was no ,ex-
ception to the rule.
But the supply dealers did not en-
joy monopoly by any means, as dry
goods dealers and those in other
lines as we'll were accorded excellent
business. The sale of several hun
dred bales cotton added to the vol
ume of currency circulating here, and
all classes of dealers got a portion
of it, no doubt.
The business streets took on
circus-day appearance, and every IN
coming train poured another volume
of humanity to swell the tide here.
Americus people as well, and more
especially the bargain buyers. at
tended the "sales" and enjoyed tho
fine day accorded for shopping.

UNWILLING Of
MONUMENT HAS
BEEN DELAYED
BY CONDITION OF THE ROADS
To Occur Latter Part of the
Month, or Later

Conditions of the road in Lee county
has caused the postponement of tie
unveiling of the Chehaw Memorial,
which was sent from a local marble
yard to that place recently and which
is now ready for the final exercises to
be held there.
The heavy rains OF the early part CT
the year, combined with those which
had been experienced previously at the
close of last year, caused the roads
from Leesburg to Chehaw, which is
just across Muckalee creek northeast
of the county site, to get in very bad
condition. In view of this fact it
was thought to be wise to postpone
the unveiling exercises until the roads
were in good shape in order to accom-
odate the many people who are to at
tend the exercises and who must gc
either by buggy or in cars.
The latter part of this month may
be used for the unveiling of the mon
ument, though it may be deferred ever
longer than that time. AS there is nj
hurry as regards the unveiling exer
cises, they will be postponed until tn
weather and other conditions are tn
most favorable obtainable. 1t is hope
that an ideal day can be selected 70
the exercises, which will be partioipat
ed in by representatives of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution fror
other sections of the state.

MERCHANT OF VENICE" Will Be
PRESENTED HERE FEBRUARY 10
By Students Of the SOphmOre Class Of The High School,
February I6-FuII Costume Performance to Be Given
at the Opera House By Students

may be had before the actual presen-
tation of the play, the costumes, whicn
will be obtained from the department
conducted especially for chat purpose
by Brenau College, will be retained
for three successive evenings. These
rehearsals will also be conducted at
the Opera House, where the final
presentation of the play will take
place. In this way the final perform
ance should be made one of unusual
excellence for the young students of
the Thespian art who will participate
in it.
Mr.. Arnett has worked faithfully TO
make this amateur performance
complete success, and indications are
that a large and appreciative house
will be present to applaud the young
actors. Nothing will be left undone
to make the play worthy in every
manner of the class and the school
which it represents.

BASEBALL IN
EARLY Spring
CONTEMPLATED
MAY PLAY ON MEMORIAL DAY
EARLY Organization Of Team
May Result

Americus baseball enthusiasts, and
there are hundreds of fans here, are
already talking ball and expressing a
desire for the old Champs to get into
son than last year. Propositions from
college teams to play here as early
as April datings, have been received
by former Manager NJ. K. Ford, and if
organization can be effected and il
nancial support for the team assuf-
ed, the dates requested will likely be
accepted.
1t will not be necessary this year,
as in former seasons, to delay the
opening of the season until Stone
Mountain school and other institutions
close, as the ball players who former
ly attended that school, particularly
Hooks, is out of school this term.
Americus can quickly organize fine
team. as places here are being sought
by some of the best players in Il
non-league class.
1t is probable that an early meet
ing of leading fans will be held and
the situation fully discussed. Ameri-
Gus maintained last season the best
amateur team in the state, and can do
as much this year by concerted ac-
ton among the merchants and citi-
zens generally in the way of needed
financial support.

SUNDAY FUNERALS NOT APPROVED
BY The MINISTERS or AMER|CUS
Except When Need Urgent or uGDteS Of Ministers Sufficiently Heavy On
Sundays Without Added WOk-FeTa also Conflict With Other Services

That the ministers of Americus are
practically a unit in discountenanc-
ing the holding of funerals on Sunday.
except when the need of such services
is urgent or absolutely necessary. was
shown yesterday in a serise of brief
interviews had with most of the min
listers of the city.
| The one reason advanced by nracti
cally all of them is the fact that fur
erals conducted on the Sabbath. unless
when the need is absolute, interiors
with their regular work which is ar
duous enough without the addition of
attending to such other work as is in
volved in the conduct of funerals.
1t was also brought out that Sunday
funerals are not frequent here, al
though some of the ministers inter-
viewed admitted that their services
and regular duties had been interfer-
ed with to a considerable extent COM
paratively recently on account of their
being compelled to attend to Sunday
funeral obligations. Sunday funerals
here seem rather the exception than
otherwise.
Americus is entirely different in that
respect from a certain Georgia city,
where funeral services are often es-
pecially reserved until Sundays. ac-
cording to well authenticated reports,
SO that greater display and publicity
may be obtained. The sentiment here
was declared to be sane and normal in
that particular, as funerals are held
on Sunday, ordinarily only when the
need is absolute.
Among the ministers who expressed
their views on the subject were the
following local clergymen: Rev.
w. Stokes, DR.. Lansing Burrows, Rev.
o. B. Chester, Rev. R. L. Bivins and
Rev J. B. Lawrence. Each had nv
hesitancy in saying that Sunday fun
erals should be avoided, if possible,
though some of them did not activelg
oppose such services.
In additiin to the principle that
with the regular duties and services
of the Sabbath, there were other CO.
gent reasons advanced. 1t was said
by one minister that in his own wor!s
the conduct of funeral on Sunday
meant his inability to preach the gos-
pei to people in the country, who haj
that privilege only once month.
Not single minister interviewed
advanced an iron-clad objection to
Sunday funerals, as each agreed that
there were cases when funeral serv-
ices on Sunday were necessary. II is
simply a case where the ministers
prefer some other day than Sunday for
such services, for they believe that in
most cases the funerals that are held
on Sunday may be conducted on Sat-
urday or Monday
