WILL PLANT TOBACCO.
Tobacco Expert Employed.-Ninety
Acres or More Will BE Planted.

Monday afternoon meeting was
held in the Office of the Chamber
of Commerce, at which tobacco or
ganization was perfected, with a
number of prominent farmers as
members. Arrangements were per-
fected for the planting of good
acreage of tobacco in this vicinity
next year, and tobacco expert. Mr.
E. Daniel, was employed to oversee
the cultivation of the crop.
The matter of planting tobacco in
this section has been agitated for
some time past. 1t has been be-
lieved for some time that tobacco
can be proftably grown in this Sec
ton.
Mr.. C. R. Brabham, Sr., stated the
object of the meeting Monday after
noon. Mr.. Daniel gave the farmers
present full information relative to
the forming of tobacco club.
Mr.. C. R. Brabham, Sr., was elect
ed president of the club, and Mr.. J.
A. Wyman was elected secretary.
1t was decided to employ Mr.. Dan
iel for the next tobacco season at a
salary of $1,000. Mr.. Daniel will
have general supervision of the plant
ing of the crop, the erection of suit
able barns, the cultivation of the
crop, marketing, etc.
The following farmers obligated
to plant the acreage named in to-
bacco: C. R. Brabham, Sr., IL acres !;
John H. Cope, IS acres; J. w. Stokes,
6 acres; ]. w. Hill, 6 acres; ]. A.
Spann, II acres; A. NJ. Brabham, II
acres; G. Frank Bamberg, IL acres;
J. A. Wyman, II acres.
Any others who may desire to
plant tobacco next year may enter the
club by informing the committee,
composed of Messrs. J. H. Cope, A.
NJ. Brabham, and J. A. Wyman, and
agreeing to pay their pro rata share
of the expenses. Fifteen barns will
be required for the 80 acres already
arranged for, each barn being 16
feet square and 16 feet high, the
capacity of barn being six acres of
tobacco.
1t is not likely that a warehouse
will be built this year, as the acreage
would not warrant it, but the to-
bacco will be shipped to some nearby
tobacco market. Mr.. Daniel will en-
ter upon his duties January l, and re-
main throughout the tobacco season.

For the National Army Leaves Next
Wednesday Morning.

Bamberg's Second contingent in
the national selective draft army will
leave this city next Wednesday morn
ing for Camp Jackson, Colpm bia,
where it will join the first nine men,
who left last week. The second con-
tingent calls for 40 per cent. of the
county's quota, but on account of the
fact that only white men are desired
at the camp at this time, Bambere
will not send 40 per cent. Arrange
ments have not been completed for
the accommodation. OF the colored
soldiers at Camp Jackson.
Mr.. A. L. Kirkland, clerk of the
Local Board, stated Tuesday morn
ing that there were but % more
white men certified from this county,
and that twoof these had been grant
ed exemption by the district board,
leaving only 20 qualified white men.
Forty per cent. of the county's quota
is 73 men, and there will be, there
fore, a deficiency of SO men in the
contingent. This deficiency will be
made up, it is stated, by other coun-
ties where there is large majority
of whites sending sufficient drafted
men above 40 per cent. to make up
the deficiency in counties where
there is majority of colored popula-
ton. In this way, the States full
proportion will be furnished.
The men will gather in Bamberg.
next Tuesday and remain here over
night. An entertainment has been
planned for, the men to take place
Tuesday night.
The district board has granted ex-
emption to about 10 of the men Ger
titled by the county board. Most of
these men are married, but have no
children. All married men who ask
ed for exemption were exempted by
the district board.
The following order has been sent
to the district board:
"Send 40 per cent. of your quota
to Camp Jackson, South Carolina,
September 10 as planned. This in
crement should be made up entirely
of white men. To compensate for
counties that have such preponder-
ance of negroes as to be unable to
furnish 40 per cent. white, send lar
ger increments from counties with
higher pecentages Of whites to the
end that 40 per cent. of the quota
for the entire State may go to camp
as scheduled. Inform passenger rep
resentatives with least practicable de- !
lay in order that such local traffic
adjustments as may be necessary can
be consummated at once
