that enormous sum in three
weeks, and called attention to
the fact that only 3.3 per cent of
North Carolinians subscribed to
the last Liberty Loan. He urged
the committee to use their every
endeavor to remove this blot
from our state. To do this he
suggested that the committee
undertake to sell 1900 $50 bonds,
