Death of Mrs. III. E. Warren.

The death of Mrs. H. E. Warren,
of the Farrell's section of the county,
occurred at her home early Sunday
morning. Mrs. Warren's death was
not altogether unexpected, as she had
endured a lingering illness for a
unmber of years. But her suffering
had been borne with true Christian
fortitude and patience. Mrs. Warren
was a sister of Mr.. C. ]. S. Brooker,
Of Bamberg, and was the daughter
of Lieut.. and Mrs. Edward Brooker,
of old Barnwell county, her father
having been a gallant Confederate
cavalry leader who dleq "a years
ago. She was an estimable Christ
ian woman and was held in the
highest esteem by all who knew her.
The remains were taken to Spring
field. where the funeral and inter-
ment were conducted Monday
morning at II o'clock from Taber-
nacle Church. Mrs Warren is survived
by her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth J.
Brooker, of Springfield; by her
husband, Mr.. Henry E. Warren of
this county; one sister, Mrs. ]. c.
Phillips, of Springfield; and two
brothers, Mr.. C. ]. S Brooker, OF
Bamberg, and Mr.. J. n. Brooker, OF
East Lake, Ala. She left no children.

Red Cross News Notes.

The Bamberg chapter, A. R. c.,
has been notified that the main fea-
lures of plans for Christmas for the
soldiers and sailors will be: l. A
Christmas packet for each soldier.
2. A Red Cross Christmas tree at
each contonment One million of
these packets will probably be re-
quired. The number allotted to this
chapter is So. This allotment is bas-
ed to some extent on the number of
members in the chapter.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee on Monday morning commit
tee, composed of Misses FRANKIE Folk,
Mary Livingston, Mrs. Henry Hen
derson, the supply committee and
transportation committee was ap-
pointed to solicit these packets and
have ready to ship. by Dec. 1st.
In order that the men may be
equally remembered and yet that
there may be pleasing variety in the
packets, the following suggestions are
made for preparing and assembling
the Christmas parcels: 1. Nothing
should go in them which will not
keep fresh from the time of packing
until Christmas. 2. Dried fruits and
other food products should be packed
in small tins or wooden boxes, one
quarter to one-half pound size. 8.
Hard candy, including chocolate, will
probably be safe in tin foil or heavy
cardboard, but no soft chocolates nor
anything that could possibly be crush
ed should be used, as the, remaining
contents of the package might be
spoiled thereby. 4. Several dainties
packed in oblong tin boxes holding
each a quarter of pound, will pro-
vide a better variety for a packet
than a large quantity OF single con-
fection. 5. No liquids nor articles
in glass should be placed IN the pack
age. 6. For wrapping the gifts use
a khaki colored handkerchief, 27 ins.
square and form the base of the pac-
ket by placing on the center of the
handkerchief a pad of writing paper
about seven by ten inches. Z. Select
a variety of articles to an amount not
exceeding $3.50 and arrange them on
the pad of paper, so that the entire
package shall be the width of the pad
and approximately five or six inches
high. 8. Wrap and tie with one
inch red ribbon and place a Christ
mas card under the bow of the rib
bon. 9. Wrap the parcel again in
heavy light brown manila paper, tie
securely with red, green, or gilt cord,
and use Christmas labels or Ameri-
can flags as Observation-Disclosures.

TOBACCO MEETING POSTPONED.
Will be Held at the Court House Oh
Friday, November 16.

The tobacco meeting which was to
have been held here with the farmers
at the court house last Thursday had
to be postponed on account of the
principal speaker for the occasion
failing to make train connection in
Macon, Ca, for Bamberg. However,
the meeting will positively be held
on Friday morning, November 18th,
at Il o'clock at the court house here,
and a large crowd is hoped for. There
will be no further disappoiltments,
and the meeting will surely be held.
There are to be three speakers of
the day, so that if any one or two
should happen not to be on hand,
which is not probable, the meeting
will nevertheless be carried out any
way.
An even bigger attendance is eX-
pected Friday than would have been
here for the meeting last Thursday,
because that was big day at the
Orangeburg county fair and therefore
took many people away who can at
tend the meeting Friday. County
Farm Demonstration Agent J. j.
Heard sent out 600 letters to the far
mers throughout the county urging
their attendance at the coming meet
ing.
Three speeches will be made by
prominent visiting men, who know
the tobacco business from A to q, and
the profits to be made thereby. Mr..
E. L. Ring, tobacco expert of the
Southern railway, will make one of
the addresses, while the other two
will be made by Messrs. w. ]. Shee-
ley, of Georgia, and R. P. Manning,
of Evansville, Ind. A general move
ment for the planting of tobacco
Throughout the county will be agita-
ted, and if 500 acres can be pledged
by the farmers for planting the weed
warehouse for storing it will be
erected in Bamberg at once, and also
a market probably established here.
