while the rules and reeula-

F. N. BURKE DECLINES
LOAN CHAIRMANSHIP
LOCAL BUSINESS MAN THINKS
BANKERS SHOULD HANDLE
CAMPAIGN FOR SALE OF THIRD
LIBERTY BOND ISSUE.

At a meeting of the Commercial
Club on Monday night of last week
tho matter of selecting a chairman
to conduct the sale of the Third Lib
erty Loan Bonds which will be offer
ed to the public in March, was dis
cussed, and f. N Burke, we'll known
merchant and planter and all around
useful and active citizen, was unanf-
mously agreed upon as the right man
to direct the campaign. A committee
subsequently waited upon Mr.. Burke
and urged him to accept the appoint
ment. He declined, however, not be-
cause he is not willing to shoulder
the responsibility but because he
does not believe the matter can be
as we'll handled by a merchant as
by a banker.
THE bankers of the city" said
Mr. Burke ,"are In close touch with
the financial situation. They know
the condition Of practically every cit
izen In the county-know how much
man is able to subscribe, know
how to present the desirability Of
an investment In bonds to the cit
liens. and more than this. they are
In position to help him finance his
purchase of bonds in the event he
does not feel like putting up the
cash for the bonds. Because am
so firmly convinced the bankers are
pre-eminently the proper men to d.
rect the Liberty Loan campaign and
because do not believe q man In
other lines of business can make q
success of It. have declined to act
as the chairman OF the campaign
committee. am more than willing
to serve IN any capacity where my
efforts can be productive of the de-
sired results, and | shall be glad to
assist in putting the Liberty Loan
campaign III Lee county over the
top but in my judgment the leaders
should by all means be our bankers.
Let them hold a conference and se-
lect one of their number to act as
chairman, and when the next Liberty
Loan follows this one let them pass
the craftsmanship to another banker,
thus dividing the work and the re-
sponsibiiity. We have exceptionally
able and patriotic men at the head
Of our Tanks. Amy of them can
much more ably direct the campaign
than those who are not in the bank
