Introduced by Chairman Beam ? Capt. Skinner Assures Crowd The Soldiers Will Do The Work If The Public Will Furnish the Cash For The Equipment ? Raise $20,000. - tu, I Not the largest but possibly the most interesting Rally: that has been held in Louisburg in many years was the Big Third 1 War Loan Rally held In Louis-! burg on Saturday. The morning exercises were especially interesting. The pain speech of the day was by Gov. Broughton, who urged the peo ple to buy liberally to give the substantial support to our sons and neighbors on the several bat tle fronts fighting to save our country's liberty and freedom. The Governor was ably introduc ed by Chairman G. M. Beam. Possibly the most interesting part of the morning exercises i was the parade by the Camp But ner Caravan under command of Capt. Skinner. In addition to having one of the best bands in the country the caravan Included jeeps, amphibious jeeps, tanks, camouflaged trucks, guns and many other pieces of war equip- 1 ment. that gave to the spectators, an idea of what the money spent! for bonds were used for. Thej big tank was in the shape of a float representing the tank. The} tank itself was too heavy for a! trip of this kind.. The Camp! Butner Band furnished music for the occasion, which was cut short because of the short time the soldiers had in Louisburg. At the request of the Campaign Committee this Caravan was routed through Louisburg from Roanoke Rapids, while en route to Henderson and Oxford. It was a great pleasure to all to have them t&ke part in this oc casion. Before leaving the soldiers gave a short, but extra special act, composed largely of music and comedy, ending with a most interesting and patriotic address from Capt. Skinner, who appeal ed to all to buy all the bonds they could, assuring them that "if the people will furnish the money and the equipment the sol diers will do a good job, of win ning this war." Mr. Pecy W. Joyner, a popu lar tobacco auctioneer and a member of Franklin County Board of Commissioners did the auctioneering in his usual happy style. In the morning the fol lowing articles were purchased, the amount of which represented the Bond cost that was purchas ed: / Linoleium rug, $375, V. Os born. Cross cut saw, $200, V. R.' Kilby. Shrubbery, $15, Mrs. H. J.; Thome. " Screen, $50, O. T. Fisher. Spread, $525, Mrs. W. B.j Tucker. Utility can, $50, Joseph Ton kel. 25 pound sack of flour, $50, W. C. Webb. Boquet, $500, W. L.

The afternoon program begun about 9* o'clock and continued for an hour or more. At this time music was furnished by the Louisburg Band and the auction eering was by Mr. Joyner. The sales were good and much inter est prevailed. The total sales of bonds for the day ran up to $20,000, and has been accelerated several thousand since. Louisburg township had just about reached its quota Wednes day and by today it had passed over. The Louisburg Band has the distinguished honor of having led the parade' at the opening of the days exercises and threw open the gates of Welcome to our Camp Butner visitors. The day was considered a de cided success, for the Bond Sales for patriotism, for education in viewing the make up of the car avan and* the general fine spirit that existed. ? n ' BROKEN ARM.
