Henry, well know phy sician of the city, died suddenly Saturday night at his home on Mus- grove street, his unexpected passing coming as a great shock to his fam ily and friends.

How can you prevent accidents from ruining your holiday: All you have to do is to follow a few simple safety rules. Few people realize that the ordi nary Christmas tree can be one of! the most flammable objects known.” i “It is filled with pitc and resin, j Once ignited it is very difficult to i extinguish.” An average-size Christmas tree takes less than, two minutes to bum up. This means the tree can easily start a roaring blaze in your home! before the fire department arrives to combat the fire. To cut down on the fire damage, you should choose a small tree and keep it< outdoors until a few days before Christmas. Set it up in the coolest part of the house, and .f necessary, shut off the radiator closest to the tree. Do not use cotton or paper for! decoration. “Fireproor’ decorations are now available, and add much to Christmas safety. Dangerous Christmas tree fires can also be set off by tiny sparks. Therefore, it is important to avoid placing electric trains around tree. where most of his busy life was and to check w j r i ng carefully. Wir- spent. He was a son of Mrs. Ada H. Henry and the late William J. Henry, a widely connected family of this section of the county. He was a graduate of Presbyterian col lege and Emory University. In 1913 he began the practice of medicine in Whitmire and in 191ft married Miss Annie Lou McMillan, daugh ter of the late Mr. and Mrs. J. C McMillan of this city. He moved to Lockhart in 1917 here he prac ticed until he returned here in 1919 where he had practiced until his unexpected death. Dr. Henry was a kind, unassuming gentleman, pos sessing many affable qualities that made and held for him many friends among his patients and those who knew and admired him. He was a member of North Broad Street suggestions: es bearing the U. L. label of Un derwriters’ Laboratories have been carefully tested for fire safety. Nev er use frayed or worn wires. As a further guard against sparks, provide a switch some distance from the tree for turning the electric tights off and on. and avoid plug ging or unplugging lights beneath the tree As the tree becomes drier it be comes more hazardous. When the needles st«ui falling, take the tree down and discard it. Inspect it from time to time to see whether any of the needles near the lights have started to turn brown. If they have, move the lights so they do not come in contact with the tree.

Farmers Receive Cotton Acreage Allotment for 1950 Laurens county farmers have re ceived through the mail their cotton acreage allotment from the P. M. A. office for 1950. Many farmers are wondering how they can hold their tenants with such allotments. Some are satisfied, while others are dis pleased, to say the least, County Agent Cannon said. The allotment was based on the history of the cropland during the years 1945, 1946, 1947 and 1948. This year will not be used in any base period in determining the present or future cotton allotment. The pe cent for the county as a basis for allotment is 22.14 per cent of crop land. No farmer will get more allot ment than this per cent, although he may have been planting a large acreage to cotton on his farm, Mr Cannon said. If a farmer has only 100 acres of cropland and planted the 100 acres to cotton each year, his allotment for 1950 cotton will be 22.J acres, or approximately that figure.
