Aged Lady Is Burned To Death In County Mrs. E. R. Hamrick, 84, Buried Today . Clothes Caught On fire Wednesday Night. Was Mother Ol Court Clerk. Mrs. Louise Bridges Hamrick, wife of E. R. Hamrcik. of Double Springs, and mother of A. M. Hamrick, Cleveland county superior court 1 clerk, was fatally burned Wednesday i night at her home near Double | Springs. I The tragic death took place | around 9 o'clock at night after Mrs. i Hamrick and her husband had gone to bed. Exact details as to how her clothes caught on fire are not known as Mrs. Hamrick was badly burned before her screams awoke her hus band. It is presumed, however, that she was sweeping before the fire place when the broom or her clothes caught on fire and the blaze spread rapidly over her body. Mrs. Hamrick had already gone to bed when her husband locked up the house and retired. Presumably she awoke around 9 o'clock and got up again. While up she . .-cured a broom. it is thought, and was sweeping about the hearth. After sweeping it is believed that she sat down in a chair before the fire place as the chair was burned, and the fire from the broom spread ovei : her clothing. When Mr. Hamrick | awakened she was standing up but fell just as he got up. At that time ( she was ablaze ail over and he be Igan fighting the flames about her body. A son-in-law. Rev. D Q Washburn, who lived nearby, heard the screams of both and hurried to the house. The doors, however, were locked and it was a minute or so 'before Mr. Washburn could get in jas Mr. Hamrick remained by his [wife’s side attempting to extinguish I the flames. She lived for only a j fhort time as she was badly burned j over the entire body. Funeral services were conducted this afternoon at Double Springs Baptist church by the pastor. Rev. John W. Suttle, Dr. Zeno Wall and others. Mrs. Hamrick had been a loyal member of the church since early girlhood. The deceased would have been 81 years of age next month and sh and Mr. Hamrick had been married for 65 years. She was a woman well known throughout the section, a fine mother and high ly respected by all who knew her, and her tragic death came as a shock to the section. She was the daughter of the late John and Cyn thia Bridges and was born only about a half mile from where she died. Surviving in addition to her hus band are three children: Mrs. D. G. Washburn, Mr. T. B. Hamrick, and Mr. A. M. Hamrick, the latter clerk of court here. A number of grand children and great grandchildren also survive along w'ith two sisters and one brother: Mrs. Ijouisa Green of Spartanburg county; Mrs. Oc tavia McKinney. of Rutherford county, and Mr. Tom Bridges, of Texas.

A meeting will be held In the court house in Shelby Saturday aft ernoon at 2 o’clock for the purpose of discussing plans and a program of producing and securing food and work for the needy and unemployed of Cleveland county. The meeting is being called by J. B. Smith, welfare officer, in a state wide movement. The forming of a county advisory council for relief will be one of the items to be taken up. Among those invited to attend are representative farmers of all sections of the county, representa tives of the civic clubs, the county board of agriculture, the county commissioners, the mayors ot the towns of the county, the agricultural teachers, members of the various re lief committees and all citizens who desire to attend. The proposed program, tlie wel fare department says, will Include plans for aiding needy tenant farm ers and others and also some meth od of inaugurating gardens, etc.. whereby relief labor may be aided in producing its own vegetables and food to a certain extent. It is par ticularly pointed out that no col onization plan is considered. What food may be produced as the result of the meeting's program by un employed people or through aid by relief funds for seed, etc., will not be for the purpose of marketing. In other words, if the meeting can figure out some method of having tenants and others produce more of their own food none of this food will be placed on the market to compete with private farmers, and if there is any surplus it will be canned and stored away for other needy families and for future use. Calls for aid are increasing, it is said, and some plan roust be devis ed to help take care of the situa tion. Whatever work is done will be supervised by the agricultural teachers and the welfare depart ment will maintain a check to see that money which may be given for seed and. other necessities is prop erly used. The session Saturday, it is under stood. will be open to a general dis cussion of plans and ideas which may be advanced by those attend ing. Birthday Brings A Bank Holiday Wednesday.'

If Senator Carter Glass decides to enter the front door of the cabinet rooni opened to him, then North Carolinas chances will jump out the window*. That is lh«- hoi .. roan who ought to know—Clyde R.

All (he contests air now held under the supervision of the Schoolmasters dub of the county and It. Is believ ed the new regulations will tend lo improve the contests. Instead of having 10 to 20 entrants in each of the final contests, preliminaries will be held to weed the list down to six speakers for the finals in each con test. The preliminary for the Hoey contest will be held on Saturday. Feb. 25 Each school In the county Is to send one representative and from that group will be selected six ora tors for the finals on March 3.

After all have spoken each Judge will rate the speakers In one-two-three order but will not rank the speaker from' his or her school. Then the winner will be named by compiling each vote and seeing which speaker gets the highest composite score of points.

Then they will be told that they are to dlscusr some phase of a certain current event or topic, but they will not know until they get up to speak Just what phase of the topic they will speak upon.
