Robson Greatly Exceed Their
Quotas.
Final figures on the second Ameri-
can Red Cross war fund for tn" ma
ton have not been announced, but on
the face of official returns the fund
was oversubscribed $48,833, ,367, and
it is expected that the total will ex-
ceed $150,O00, 900.
Every chapter in Robson oversu5-
scribed it's allotment. Mr.. r. C. Law
renee, chairman of the drive for the
Lumberton chapter, was advised that
the allotment was $1,000. That may
have been a mistake. Anyway, no
attention was paid to that figure and
effort was made to raise at least
$4,000, and the total will exceed that,
just how much is not definitely known
now. The total so far turned in is
81 ,488, and it is known that there is
more to be added. The allotment Of
the Maxton chapter was 81 200, and
reports so far received bring it's to-
tai to $2,680, with some auxiliaries
yet to report. Fairmont more than
doubled it's allotment, and no 1oubt
other chapters did as well.
Mr.. p. P. Smith, Proctorville chair
man, reports S264.86, some of .;1is
being membership fees.
