Wrote Farewell Note Then Macon Man Took Dose Which Ended His Life
The funeral of Charles Bailey, who killed himself last night by taking
morphine, was held from Harts Chapel, Macon, Ga. His brother, from Americus,
who is said to be quite wealthy, was in attendance. Bailey was a gambler, it
is said and recently went broke. When his room was broken into, a note to his
mother and one to his brother were found. He had written to his mother: To My
Dear Mother: Taking all things into consideration, I think this is the best
way, so goodbye. Ill meet you in the sweet by and by. To his brother,
Walter Bailey, he requested that his death be made certain before burial.
Bailey was 46 years of age.

Charley Bailey, a well known citizen of Macon, died at the hospital in that
city a few nights ago from the effects of an overdose of morphine, taken with
suicidal intent. Two notes were left by Bailey, one to his mother and one to a
relative, which attributed his act to gambling losses.
