Robson county people are asked to
buy 100000 worth of bonds of the
second Liberty loan. That is the
amount allotted to the county of the
$4,000. 900 that North Carolinians
are expected to take, and a determ-
ined. earnest, never-say- campaign
TO put it across and see that the coun-
fy does it's duty and stands by the
government in this all-important
matter has been launched. Lumber
ton and vicinity are expected to take
5000 900 of this amount.
Already good work has been done.
Good reports come from st. Paul, Lum-
berBridge, ,Parkton, Rowland andMcDon
aids, showing that active work is be-
ing done in those sections. Mr.. A.
w. Mclean, chairman of the county
Liberty Loan committee, addressed
very enthusiastic meeting in the
school auditorium at Rowland Tues
day. The committee there-consisting
of B. A. Edens, w. L. Buck and Rev.
H. J. Mills-and others are actively
at work.. making house-to-house
canvass. 1t is evident that patriotic
spirit is very much alive in Rowland
town and section. That section sent
q goodly number of volunteers to the
army, and the people are determined
to loyalty support their soldier boys.
Rowland and vicinity will take around
$4,000 of Liberty bonds.

man Mclean for Lumberton and Vi
cinity-committees for the ten dis
tricts into which the county has beer
divided were published in last Thurs
