LION OVERSUBSCRIBED

The second Liberty loan In the ma
ton apparently is glorious success,
the maximum amount of $4,000, ,00O,-
600, according to Washington dis
patches, having been oversubscribed,
as nearly as can be estimated until
complete returns are received. A
last days drive Saturday of titanic
proportions throughout the nation |
rounded up more than 81 100000, |
and is believed to have carried the to- |
tai some millions of dollars beyond |
the maximum sum treasury offic- |
ials hoped for. Banks have been un-
able to tabulate all returns.
Robson made a proud record by
oversubscribing the total allotment of
the county by $4,000. Of this amount
Lumberton subscribed $224,850, ex-
ceeding it's allotment by $57 500. st.
Paul, according to its allotment, made
the best record in the county, more
than doubling it's allotment. Mr.. A.
R. McEachern, chairman for St. Paul,
gives County Chairman A. w. Nc
Lean great credit for this, stating
Mr.. McLean's splendid presentation
of the facts in speech there made
it an easy matter to obtain subscrlp-
tions.
