"The late Eli 'Bud' Bagley, a beloved character in local politics, ran
for everything from lieutenant governor to sheriff — and we never were
sure he even lived in Muscogee County. He always used the slogan:'This
Bud’s for You.' One year at the Government Center, he broke out
bottles of grocery store champagne to celebrate. Friends from his
church brought covered dishes and when returns were posted Bagley and
friends were ready to party — even though he was defeated again.
Deputies had to point out that his champagne — though its alcohol
content was probably less than 1 percent — was against the law on
government property. Bagley’s face dropped. He was just trying to be
nice. Someone realized it was a harmless gesture and Bagley was able
to share his drink with his guests in Styrofoam cups..." -Richard
