DEAD AT { 0 RID FL {
Old Man Who Gave Many Years
in Service in Changing, Pass
es Away After Brief Illness
PNEUMONIA IS HE CAUsE
Funeral Services VIII Be Held
Friday Morning at Cordele,
Where Brother Resides

A. J. Bundrick, famous former
Georgia convict, who was pardoned
only about a year by Governor
Rardwiek, died today at the home
of his brother, Zach Bundrick, at
Cordele. Bundrick served more
than 20 years OF a life sentence
for a murder before being paroled
upon recommendation of the pris-
on commission two years ago, and
was one of the most famous con-
victs in the criminal history of
Georgia
A feature in connection with his
Imprisonment was that he failed to
appeal his case following convic-
ton by a jury, and it was nearly
20 years before ne made applca-
ton for either pardon or parole.
He was a trusty for many years
and always a model prisoner.
7. NJ. Furlow, who has been in
terested in Mr.. Bundrick during a
number Of years past, was -advis-
ed this morning of his death which
occurred at 4 O'clock this morning
Funeral services, Mr.. Furlow learn
ed, will be held Friday morning at
II O'Clock in Cordele, and the old
man will be laid to rest in the ceme-
terry there.
After being paroled at the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Furlow and other
residents of Americus who became
interested in Bundrick's case while
a prisoner on the Sumter county
chaingang here, the famous old pris-
oner went to Cordele, where he
worked for the Reed Phosphate
company until his death.
After a year Of liberty on pro-
baton during which he conducted
himself with the utmost probity,
Bundrick applied for and was
granted a full pardon. He plan
ned to visit Alabama where he had
relatives living then, and it was
urged in his behalf that the parole
under which he was first released
prevented his going outside the
state.
The old man was never able to
realize his ambition to visit these
relatives, however, his fortune hav-
ing been sadly disipated during kne
employ of Ze Cordele concern
which had given him work upon
his release from prison and he
worked there until a week ago when
he was taken i'll with pneumonia,
resulting in death today.

Here in Georgia." he said, "our
courts hold that not only physical
pain, but mental pain is ground

''Desertion is the only ground
we should recognize.
"This bill should not be consid-

too important. The trouble with

EVANGELIST TO TALK
ON CHOOSING GOD
Ramsey Meeting in Christian
Church Continue to Attract
Large Congregations

At the Ramsey revival in prog
ress at First Christian church to-
night the evangelist will talk on
Choosing God" a subject said TO
be filled with interest for every
thoughtful man.
Last evening Mr.. Ramsey talked
on "Ihe Second Commandment"
This commandment, he said, forbids
the making of images, and strict OBJ
servance of the law, he asserted, is
noticeable in that Jews as a race
have never developed any great
painters or scuIptors. The preacher
further declared a danger hes in the
making of any picture or likeness
that may be idealized and substitut-
ed for the word of God. Thus, he
said, all images shrines, confessions
and creeds used as aids or elements
in the worship Of God may well be
questioned in the light OIL the sec
ond commandment.
The fundamental principle upon
which the commandments rest, he
said, are everlasting in scope and
unacceptable in results. mans san
ity alone being found in obedience
to Gods commandments.
An outstanding feature of the
revival is the song service, the che
rus work being especially strong.
This portion Of the service begins
promptly at 7:45 each evening, with

DR. BOND ASKS PEOPLE
TO HELP IN CAMPAIGN
Commissioners of Health Says
Intensive Drive Being Made
Now Eliminate Malaria

DR.. 3. f. Bond, commissioner OF
health of Sumter county, under the
Ellis health Law, today discussed
the campaign being conducted here
to eliminate malaria in Sumter
county The campaign has now
reached a stage where the coop
Grafton Of as many people as pos
sible is urgently needed, and this
DR.. Bond appeals for today. Dis
cussing the campaign with Times
Recorder man this morning, he said:
FThe Sumter County Board Of
Health is now making an intensive
drive against mosquitoes, and it is
their purpose to assist each muni-
cipality, community and individual
as much as possible, but they do
not think it advisable or even nee
essary to assume control of your
premises, farm or locality.
GAS commissioner of health /
have visited the different schools in
Sumter county each year, and
through the columns of the Times
Recorder information has been car
ried regarding mosquitoes and ma
larial fever, and apparently
enough propaganda and educational
work has been done to acquaint
each individual of the Importance
of our situation regarding the mos
quito and it's potentiality as a dis
seminator of the malarial poison.
"We know that malaria fever
and chills are synonomous and due
to poison transmitted only by the
mosquito. We do not drink,
breathe nor eat the poison; it does
not matter where we sleep, wheth-
er in the marshes or on the noun
tain tops, if we keep the mosqui-
toes from biting us we will not
have the fever. Doubtless we all
know that mosquitoes "come FROM
wiggle-tails in the water; that wig
gle-tails die when taken from the
water; they do not develop in weeds
and vines, but must have water for
development With this knowledge
we direct our energies against Cie
wiggle-tails that can not fly, for
the mosquito is short lived and if
we can prevent their reproduction
the fight is won.
GAS stated above, the Board Of
/ Health does not want to assume
control, but they are willing and
anxious to cooperate with you, and
the commissioners of roads and
revenues have assured the Board of
Health of their hearty co-opera-
! ton in this fight, even materially,
but without your help the fight will
not be worth while. Are you ready
to help make the work effective
| by doing your share or do you
/ prefer to let conditions remain as
now existing? Are you willing to
ask for assistance after you have
tried and failed to get results
through your efforts or do you
prefer to wait until the County
Board of Health can get to your
local condition? Have you investi-
gated your local condition and still
undecided which direction the
ditch should run, or the depth
necessary? We will be glad to as
! sist if such conditions exist. We
are assisting and advising with 9TH
ers almost daily. We have had sur
veys made by experts with recon-
mendations, but the proposition is
squarely up to US to remedy the
situation and remove the stigma
that has been placed upon the fair
name of Sumter, the empire county
Of Georgia"
