Wednesday Of this week, Octo-
her "a. President Wilson has des-
ignated Liberty Bond Day and
has asked the people the country
over on that day to assemble
themselves together and pledge to
each other and to their govern
ment the fullest financial support
in order to win the war. Cover
nor Beckett has issued a procla-
nation calling upon the people OF
North Carolina to observe this day
in the manner urged by the Pres
ident.
A Liberty Bond rally will be held
at the court house in Lumberton Wed
nesday evening, at s O'Clock. 1t is
hoped that by that time the full
amount allotted to Robeson-S4oU,,
OOO-will have been subscribed, and
that sales can be boosted to an amount
in excess of the allotment. In the
event the amount has not been OBJ
tanned by that time, it is confidently
expected that any deficiency will then
be made up. Robeson county cannot
afford to fall behind it's allotment.
Subscriptions close Saturday night,
Oct. 27: The last week of the drive
to raise a minimum of $4,000 OOo,Ooo
and an expected maximum OF S5,OQo,-
600 900 began this morning with not
ouite 40 per cent, or ,973,OOO 900

to over $4,000, 100000 are to be sub
scribed this week.
Various Liberty Loan committees
throughout the county, appointed by
County Chairman A. w. Mclean OF
Lumberton, did good work last week,
but reports so far received from tne
fen districts into which the county
has been divided for this purpose show
that not quite half the amount the
county is expected to raise has been
subscribed. Districts from which nc
reports have been received may swell
this amount to more than $20O,OOO
but approximately 100000 remains
to be subscribed. A long pull and {
strong pull and a pull all together Is
necessary for the balance of this week
