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

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

defendant to serve six months in the

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.

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.

I Bamberg boys are fast joining the
j colors of their country and he'ore

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.

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
