LEXINGTON QUOTA
RAISED IN A DAY
Second War Fund Drive Found Peo.
Pie Ready and Willing to Give
Their Allotment to the
Red Cross,

There was no argument from
anybody" said C. r. Pointer, chair.
man Of the Second Red Cross Wal
FUND Drive in Lexington, in speaking
Of the success in which the drive was
put over. 1T was just a matter OF
our various teams going around and
making the collections. You see. we
had made the allotments before the
drive opened, and when we went out
after the money man would ask the
amount of his allotment and. then
paid it promptly"
Lexington went out to raise her
quota of $500, but before the teams
got fairly started an amount of ST.
O90.25 had come in and more than
$l70O of that was cash, the balance
being In pledges. Mr.. Pointer is of
the opinion that large degree of the
success of the drive belongs to the
soliciting teams. S. ]. Devine, B. s.
Clark and Ben Brown were one team,
W. P. Mcmillan and George Peck an
other, w. l.. Holmes, Eph Eskelson,
and Earl Warner, and C. R. Pointer
and Gus Mcmillan still another. Karl
Beach, E. L. Reaney, Elmer Slocum
and W. o. Hill composed the team
working the town of Lexington.
Mr.. Pointer says the greatest
praise is due the spirit which prompt
ed the Lexington people to come so
rapidly to the front and 1t is further
evidence that Lexington is in the
fight to back up the nation to her last
dollar. The spirit with which the
Irish people in the vicinity of Lex
ington donated their dollars was es-
pecially mentioned by Mr.. Pointer.

coffee and cake will be served as re-
freshments for which charge of ten

Individual Subscriptions Far in Excess of Those of
 Previous Liberty Loan
 Campaigns in City PLEDGES MAY BE VALIDATED AT LOCAL BANKS ON MONDAY
Chairman Coffin Thanks Workers and Public for Splendid Sue
 cess-Counties Make Fine Showing

Hearty congratulations Birmingham has undoubtedly made the best show ing in the sixth federal reserve dIs- trict
 This is what W. c. Wardlaw. chair man of the executive committee of the third Liberty Loan committee for the sixth federal reserve district, composed of the states of Georgia, Alabama, Flor ida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louis jana. said to Chairman H. w. Coffin of the Greater Birmingham commit tee, over the long distance telephone late yesterday afternoon. MT. Ward low called for the latest" news from Birmingham. and his comment after he had received it indicates his higher appreciation of the record made by Birmingham.
 This latest news from Birmingham is embodied in the following statement which Chairman Coffin gave out tc the press at 6 o'clock yesterday after. noon
 CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
 Reports received from the banks
 at noon today as to bonds actually
 handled by them, together with the
 sales by various committees and
 the amounts subscribed by railroad
 employees, which will be credited
 later, justify me in estimating the
 total subscriptions received in Bir-
 mingham and Jefferson county in this Third Liberty Loan campaign mt not less than $S,O0O,OO0, While the number of individual subscriptions have not yet been accurately tabuIated I nm safe in saying they will run somewhere between 25,OGO and 30,000, prob ably nearer the latter figure. Our individual subscription in this loan will more than exceed those in both the previous Liberty Loan campaigns.
 Subscriptions received in this loan in amounts in excess of S1G0,- 900, are more than S2,000.000 less than In the last campaign. This is undoubtedly due to the heavy war taxes to be paid in June and | also to the fact that large sums l have been invested md will con- l tinue to be invested in treasury ] certificates by our banks and the ! foreign corporations doing busi-
 ness in this city.
 l On the other hand our local com- l merciaI and manufacturing i'm | terests and the great body of our l people have subscribed $2,0OO,O00 1 more to this loan than they did 1 to the second loan. This should 1 be very gratifying to the govern 1 ment, which has exerted every ef- | fort to make this popular loan | and to distribute it among the people as widely as possible. 1 q desire to thank citizens of a l classes in this city and county for tn l splendid spirit of patriotism whic l they have shown by their subscription I feel honored in living among sue people.
 q also desire to thank the newspa pers for the generous manner in whlc they have given their news space all editorial support to the campaign. "All the workers in this campaign men and women, have my deep apprf ciation; so, too. the Boy Scouts, ft 1 their fine work; the contributors to u l expense and advertising funds of tf
