Marvellous Example of Woman
Patriot.
Wilmington Star.

A Robson county woman nearly
sixty years old, with an invalid hus-
band to support and the farm TO pay
for. has not only done a wonderful
part in that particular but: she IS help
ing to finance American victory over
the Huns for the sake Of the world S
humanity. Here is the interesting
story of her achievement as 1t IS tolo
by her home paper, the Lumper1on
Robesonian, this week:
"Mrs. R. P. Byrd. who lives on 4. :;
from Fairmont, between Center and
Hoo Swamp churches, came to Lum'
berton the other day, principally to
buy s25 worth Of War Savings stamps
and her example, considering the CIR
cumstances, is peculiarly. inspiring
Mrs. Byrd is SO years old and mel
husband is 70. They live alone anc
her husband is not able TO 90 any
work. By herself employing no Ia
Dor except to do the plowlng, and e
help barn tobacco, Mrs. Byrd raised
crop, paid $500 on the home place
and has money to invest in War Sav
ings stamps. She says she wants Il
do anything she can to help win tn
war. An example like that ought t.
| inspire some others of us who FER
haps have been patting ourselves o.
the back to move up peg and lnves
| more money in helping to win tn
war;"

COMMUNITY FAIRS.
Exhibits at Centenary and Oakdale
Were Most Creditable-Wiu Have
Annual Fairs in Future-Libcrty
Loan Addresses.


While the conditions brought about
by the appearance of Spanish influ-
enza in many sections of Robson
kept many at home, the community
fairs held at Centenary Thursday and
at Oakdale Friday were we'll attended
and the promoters were highlv pleas
ed with the success of both fairs.
At Doth Centenary and Oal1iale tho
citizens took much interes. il he
occasions and the exhibits were most
creditable. The exhibits consisted of
all kinds Ct farm products such as
corn, cotton, beans, hay, peas, melons.
potatoes, llmpklns, fruits and prac-
tically everything grown on the farm.
1he livestock and poultry exhibits
We're also most attractive while the
household economics displays at lot III
fairs were also creditable to the la
dies of the communities. The cd rel
les on display at both fairs were also
most interesting to visitors. In fact
some OF the things at the fairs were
as interesting as one would find IN
the hall of history at Raleigh.
Stirring addresses in the interest of
the fourth Liberty loan were made at
both fairs and quite a nurnber of
bonds were sold At Centenary Mr..
w. Lennon of Lumberton made an
address that was highly complimerted
by those who heard him. At Oakdale
Mr.. Roger Pittman, a returned soldier
from France and Mr.. E. J. BRITT of
Lumberton were the speakers Both
addresses were of stirring nature
and listened to with interest The
! speakers were introduced by Rev. r
A. Hedgepeth of Lumberton.
At Centenary after Mr. Lemons

LoNBER1oN NORTH CAROLINA, MONDAY OCTOBER = 1e1s
robson MUST NOT FAIL,
It's Quota is Double Amount First
Announced-Every Citizen Must Do
His Part.
To the Public:

Ills Part.
To the Public:
When the 4th Liberty Loan was
first put on, was informed that the
allotment for each county would be
1903 per cent of it's banking resources
as of Dec. 81, 1917. Upon this basis
Fcalculated that Robeson's allotment
would be s6O3, 500, and l divided this
amount among the ten districts in the
county and gave the figures to the
public.
Some days ago l was surprised to
see IN the daily press that our allot-
ment was S1,200,O00. | Immediately
took the matter up with the State
CHAIRMAN and he in turn with the
rederal Reserve bank. | am today ad-
vlsed, by Ultimate authority, that the
allotment for North Carolina is $50
per~capita, and that where the bank
ing resources of any county are such
that 1903 per cent thereof will not
produce $40 per canita, then $40 per
capita is the irreducible minimum for
any such county Such is the case
with Robson. Our bank resources
are such that 1903 per cent thereof
would produce only $40 per capita n
stead of the $40 required. mere are
10000 people in Robeson. $4,000 at
i $50 per capita makes $1,2OC 900
which is our official allotment. While
J. this is just double what we thought
we had to raise, yet it is only our fair
and just part in accordance with the
amount required of the State and 9TH
er counties. All Liberty loan commit
tees and the public generally will
therefore take notice that the amount
to be raised by the county and by
each district thereof is just double
the figures heretofore published.
t The loan is not making progress as
it should. Influenza has Handicapped
US badly. Nearly half the time is
gone and but little has been raised
We cannot fail: we must and will not
We must simply roll up our sleeves
and go in with q determination to put
the thing over. 1t can be done ard
spond as they should. The severa
men ana it takes much valuable time
to hunt tut each citizen and solicit
his subscription. l do most earnestly
7 enjoin every patriotic man in oul
county not to wait until called upeI
), by the committee, but to go at onct
to some member of the committee o.
bank and make his Subscription
l without delay. If the public do no
t take these bonds, then the banks mus
1 do so, which would not be TO the bes
' interest Of the business world. Th'
banks have heretofore carried the en-
: tire burden; the time has row conn
Z when the average citizen must do HI:
part. He should be anxious and will
ING to do it. Every patriotic citizel
/ will be glad to do his part, and wa.
will be found to see to it that other
I do theirs.
:, There now seems some prospect o
g ar early peace. Cod grant it: Yet i
4 reace were declared tomorrow. i
4 would have no effect upon this loan
The money would still be needed an'
needed badly pending the time whel
} the millions of men now under arm
could be disbanded and sent to lhei
homes The fact that there is SOM
prospect CT peace should spur our peo
pie to redoubled effort. -

WHY PAPERS WERE DE-
I.AYED.

Subscribers on R. F. D. 1 from
Lumberton failed to get their
Robesonians Friday because in
some unaccountable way the en-
tire bundle of papers for route ]
was sent to Barnesville. The
bundle was returned to the post
Office here Friday evening and the
papers were taken out on the
route Saturday. It was not
learned until late Friday evening
what had become of the parers
so extra papers were printed from
the four pages of type that had
not been. torn down, to supply
that route and placed in the post
Office Friday and two papers were
carried to subscribers on that
route Saturday.
