Red Cross News Notes. The Bamberg chapter, A. R. C., has been notified that the main features of plans for Christmas for the soldiers and sailors will be: 1. A Christmas packet for each soldier. 2. A Red Cross Christmas tree at each contonment. One million of these packets will probably be required. The number alloted to this chapter is 69. This allotment' is based to some extent on the number of members in the chapter. At a meeting of the executive committee on Monday morning a commit tee, composed of Misses Franke * oik, Mary Livingston, Mrs. Henry Henderson, the 'supply committee and transportation committee was appointed to solicit these packets ancl have ready to ship by Dec. 1st. In order that the men may be equally remembered and yet , that there may be a 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 snould be packed in small tins or wooden boxes, one- ! quarter to one-half pound size. 3. -Hard candy, including chocolate, will ( probably be safe in tin foil or heavy , cardboard, but no soft chocolates nor anything that could possibly be crushed should be used, as the remaining 1 contents of the package might be 1 spoiled thereby. 4. Several dainties 3 packed in oblong tin boxes holding J each a quarter of a pound, will pro- ] vide a better variety for a packet ; than a large quantity of a single con- ^ fection. 5. No liquids nor articles ' in glass should be placed in the pack age. 6. For wrapping tne guts usei ' a khaki colored handkerchief, 27 ins. 11 square and form the base of the pac- ( ket by placing on the center of the * handkerchief a pad of writing paper 1 about seven by ten inches. 7. Select * a variety of articles to an amount not < exceeding $1.50 and arrange them on 1 the pad of paper, so that the entire 1 package shall be the width of the pad and approximately five or six inches e high. 8. Wrap and tie with one- ( inch red ribbon ?nd place a Christ- e mas card under the bow of the' rib- r bon. 9. Wrap the parcel again in j heavy light brown manila >paper, tie c securely with red, green, or gilt cord, 1 and use Christmas labels or Ameri- t :an flags as desired.?Contributed. e t New Advertisements. r c Peoples Bank?Wealth.

J J. A. SPA NX CONVICTED. Found Guilty in U. S. Court.?Sentenced to Six Months and Fine. I .Mr. J. A. Spann, of this city, was found guilty Monday in the U. S. district court in Columbia on two counts of seven charged in the indictment in connection with bankruptcy proceedings in which he was involved. The case went to trial Saturday. Monday the arguments were made and the case given to the jury. Tuesday morning Judge Smith sentenced the defendant to serve six months in the Richland county jail and to pay a fine of $1,000. Attorney Mayfield said he would file an appeal and Judge ~ ^ a of ?A AAA Tli? smiin IIAtJU LiltJ UUUU at <p-i,vwv. A. following summary of the evidence is reprinted from the Sunday Columbia State: Sensational evidence was introduced in the federal court yesterday when witnesses for the government testified in the case against J. A. Spann, of Bamberg. A witness for the government testified that $3,000 was deposited to his account in a bank on January 27 and on the same da^$3,017 was paid out from his account and he disclaimed any knowledge of either transaction. 4 Less than two weeks ago a witness stated that he was at Bamberg in a case and had in his possession seveii checks aggregating $3,000; he placed them in a valise and buckled a strap around the grip and urned it over to the clerk of court for safe keeping. Last Friday the witness said he went to Bamberg to get the cancelled checks to bring them to court in Columbia and when he searched the valise they could not be found. The checks had disappeared and no one could give any information concerning the missing papers. A prominent business man of Bamberg said the defendant and Attorney Free met him on the street and handed him a check for $500 request-, ing him to endorse it. as they had aj reason for it. He complied with their request. The check was made payable to him but he received no benefits of the $500. The defendant, J. A. Spann, entered a plea of not guilty when he was arraigned on an -indictment charging him with rendering false statements to the government in bankruptcy proceedings. There were seven counts in the indictment. The first witness was Miss Frost, the federal court stenographer, who testified that she recorded the testimony in the hearing that was held before Judge Smith, which she exhibited to the court. On cross examination the witness said it was possible for errors to creep in stenographic reports. A. L. Kirkland said he was clerk of court at Bamberg and that he had been called upon to produce seven checks and that he was unable to do so. He said papers in the Spann case were placed in a satchel which had -1?- rtViofn opnim^ if Thp i stray ui ihecks could not be found.. Mr. Kirkand had no idea what became of the papers. . F. F. Carroll testified that he was; ippointed special master in the Spann ;ase and had placed all the papers md seven checks in a valise and had un a strap around it t<q hold it together. He turned it over to the ;lerk of court with the^ request that le take care of the valise and conents as he had to have the checks it court/ Friday he went to Bam>erg to get the checks but they could h lot be found. He stated that the :ontents had been disturbed as the >apers and books were not placed! vhere he left them. The seven J :hecks were signed by J. A. Spann! md totaled $3,000. Attorney J. N. Nathans, of Charles? fUof Vm antDroH nrn? Uil, iCdvmcu mat vutu*vu r. ^ eedings against Spann ant^ identiied a letter showing the record of he seven checks which "had disap>eared. The checks bore the same late and totaled $3,000, according to he letter. The attorney stated the lefendant was put through a thor>ugh questioning in an effort to se:ure for the court an accurate ac:ount of his assets and liabilities. f A. M. Denbow stated he was vice >resident of the Peoples Bank of Jamberg and exhibited a ledger acount showing business transactions vith N. P. Smoak, a citizen of Bam>erg. On January 27 Mr. Smoak delosited $3,000 and on tne same day withdrew $3,017. The sum of $3, 00 was placed to the credit of J. A. >pann on January 27, and on the! arae day $3,128 was withdrawn. The' witness said Spann was a large plant-! ir, and a heavy borrower, and gave nortgages as collateral. Spann had i l cash balance of $182.87 when the leposit of $3,000 was made. i N. P. Smoak, H. C. Folk and F. W.j Yee testified to various transactions) nth J. A. Spann. The first witness for the defense! vas O. A. Simmons, of Bamberg. He! las known the defendant for 20 years! md was in business with him until | fanuary 1, and remained with i Another* Hoy Called. j I Bamberg boys are fast joining the j colors of their country and he'ore long there won't be very many J young men left among us. AD honor and kindly consideration should be accorded these brave bovs. Saturday night Mr Willis K. Herndon received his orders to report for duty at the naval training station at Mount Pleasant, near Charleston. Mr. Herndon had volunteered for service in the naval reserves. He / leaves December 1 to take up his worki for Uncle Sam. There's no telling how many Bamberg county boys are now engaged in war service either in the army or navy, but we should all be and are proud of them all. Hamberg Cotton Market. Quotation for Wednesday, November 14, 3:15 p. m.: Middling 28 him as bookkeeper until January 1, 1915. He is a brother-in-law to the defendant. He said Spann gave him a check on January 2 7, 1915, for an amount around $400 and he cashed it himself and kept the amount. Another chetk was given Mrs. Blume for $250, both amounts being due them on salaries. He borrowed the $250 from Mrs. Blume the same day she received it. The check was cashed. Mr. Simmons said he did not remember a government service man visiting him in May, 1915. All he re membered was that he got a check and h?d it cashed. / The i defendant, Mr. Spann, took the stand and said that he? was 56 years old and was reared in Lexington county. Had lived at Bamberg, for 20 years, engaging in the farming; and mercantile^usiness. He borrowed from banks and gave mortgages; ! to cover the loans. At the close of; | 1914 a petition in bankruptcy wast | filed, in DecemDer me r ree tomI pany had helped him out and he ow| ed them from $450 to $600. Had I done business with H. C. Folk and1 | had owed money to Mrs. Blume andj others. Borrowed $3,000 from Mr.! Smoak and had given him a mortgage bearing 8 per cent, interest, j The paper was prepared by W. E. Free and was turned over to Smoak. Free had been his attorney for tenj years. The defendant claimed that| he had held the check for several days and then deposited it in the banl% to his credit. He did not instruct anyone to credit the check to i Nj P. Smoak's account. The defen-j dant admitted issuing the checks ag-l gregating $3,000, but contended that he owed the money to whom the checks were made payable. He said the check for $1,000 to Mayfield andj Free were attorneys' fees; the check to H. C. Folk for $500 was for stuff; the $450 check to F. W. Free & Co. was for goods; the check for $400 toi O. A. Simmons was for salary, as was the check for $250 to Mrs. Blume. j A check to Joe Spann, a son, was for goods and another check to W. E. Spann, a brother, was to cover a loan, i Mr. Spann said the payments were genuine. On cross examination the defendant said he needed the $3,000 * . l. -2 ) when he borrowed it as ne was ueiug|j pressed by creditors. He could not! recollect much about his finances. The seven checks mentioned in the preceding paragraphs were the seven checks which disappeared from the clerk's office at Bamberg during the last week or two. The following is from the Colum- 1 bia State of Tuesday: J. A. Spann, of Bamberg, was found guilty on two counts in the | ' federal court yesterday. He was qharged with making false statements to the government in bankruptcy proceedings and was tried on seven counts.' The jury deliberated nearly { three hours before they arrived at a { verdict. It is said that the jury stood J 11 to 1 for a conviction on the seven counts in the indictment. Just be- ( fore the court adjourned yesterday Judge Sipith called up the defendant 3 for sentence. Attorney S. G. May- r field made an earneist plea for his ' client. He spoke about the excellent character of the defendant, and his 1 standing in his community. That 1 Mr. Spann was a man who could get J anything a friend had, and he -was the kind of man to do all he couljl for his friends. His appearance indicates that he is a good natured and friendly man, and his friends and all who know him feel that he is a victim of error and that nls actions were not criminal. The prosecuting attorneys, F. H. Weston and Waites War- . ing, urged the judge to impose a sentence that would be an example for , others who would commit what they declared to be perjury. A fine is nothing to a man of means, they . said, and they argued for an imprisonment. Judge Smith ?aid Mr. Spann had 0 made a splendid impression upon him ^ at the first hearing, but the evidence t that was introduced at the trial had v shocked him. He listened to argu- ^ ments and pleas from both sides and p finally announced that he would pro- 1 nounce sentence this morning. e / TOBACCO MKKTIXG POSTPONED. Will be Held at the Court House on Friday, Xovember 1(1. 1 The tobacco meeting which was to ' have been held here with the farmers 1 at the court house last Thursday had * to be postponed on account of the 1 principal speakeF for the occasion ^ failing to make train connection in Macon, Ga., for Bamberg. However, ] the meeting will positively be held J on Friday morning, Xovember 16th, J at 11 o'clock at the court house here, 5 and a large crowd is hoped for. There will be no further disappointments, and the meeting will surely be held. ( There are to be three speakers of ; the day, so that if, any one or two 1 should happen not to be on hand, which is not probable, the meeting will nevertheless be carried out anyr way. < An even bigger attendance is ex- 1 pected Friday than would have been 1 here for the meeting last Thursday, because that was a 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 1 their attendance at the coming meeting. < Three speeches will be made by I prominent visiting men, who know I the tobacco business from A to Z, and the profits to be made thereby. Mr. j 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. J. Sh&e- ? ley, of Georgia, and R. P. Manning, ] of Evansville, Ind. A general movement 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 ' ii ?in ^ a warenouse ror scoring 11 win ue erected in Bamberg at once, and also i a market probably established here. 1 Boys' Corn Club Prizes. g 1 County Demonstration Heard re- * quests The Herald to publish the following list of State prizes for corn j club boys, to be awarded this year: * First Prize?A gold medal, by Hon. j A.
