Robeson county people are asked to buy $400,000 worth of bonds of the .second Liberty loan. That is the amount allotted to the county of the $27,000,000 that North Carolinians are expected to take, and a determ ined, earnest, never-say-die campaign to put it across and see that the coun ty does its duty and stands by the government in this all-important matter has been launched. Lumber ton and vicinity are expected to take $200,000 of thisamount. Already good "work has been done.

Buck and Rev. H. J. Mills and others are actively at work,- making a house-to-house canvass. It is evident that patriotic sririt is very much alive in Rowland town and section. That section sent a goodly number of volunteers to ithe army, and the people are determined to loyally support their soldier boys. Rowland and vicinity will take around $50,000 of Liberty bonds. The committee, appointed by Chair man McLean for Lumberton and vi cinity committees for the ten dis tricts into which the county Jhas been divided were published in last lhurs day's Robesonian met at the court H.

O. Bennett, who received military training at the A. and E. college and was formerly captain of the Goldsboro company; T. A. McNeill, Jr., who received military training at school. J IAN 0 y s 0 : APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM ! i 0 i As chairman of the Liberty Loan committee; I appeal -to the patriotic spirit of every man and woman in the county to do their duty by subscribing to the Liberty bonds now!. Robeson county has never failed to respond to the call of country.. To fail now would be to her everlasting disgrace!, -Approximately four hundred thousand dollars has been apportioned to the county. It will be over-subscribed if all do their duty. The farmers particularlyshould subscribe. The high prices of tobacco and cotton are due largely to the war, and those vho benefit by these prices are under peculiar obligation to help the government win the war. So far the farmers have subscribed practically nothing. This should not be so. - The Germans say we can't fight, and that we do not amount to anything in this 'war. Let's show them a thing or two. ' ' A. W. McLIN, Chairman. WV VW W WW wvw vw www wwwwwwwwww www www w RED CROSS RALLY lined plans for a vigorous campaign, which will know no let-up until Oc tober 27, when this sale of bonds closes. It was determined at that meeting that men actively connected with each of the three banks of Lum berton should begin this morning ac tive work among their customers, in an effort to get every man who is able to buy a Liberty bond to do so. . Rally October 24. Next Wednesday evening, October 24. at the court house in Lumbertem, a rally will be held for the purpose of giving a final ' boost to the sale of bonds and to raise whatever subscrip tions may be lacking of the countys allotment at that' time, uetooer z4 is the day that President Wilson has set aside by proclamation, published elsewhere in this paper, as Liberty Loan Day, when people the country over are urged to come together in their home communities and pledge to each other and to the government their fullest financial support. In addition to personal solicitation, at the places and times given below speakers will present at. public meet ings the supreme duty of the hour, to see to it that Robeson county does its full duty in purchasing Liberty bonds.

Destroyer Damaged by Ger man U-Boat. Although American torpedo boat destroyers have covered nearly a mil lion miles since the United States en tered the war; crossing the ocean, convoying vessels and chasing subma rines, only recently has a German submarine succeeded in damaging one of them. The attack occurred somewhere within the war zone Tuesday, but though the destroyer was badly dam aged, she was able to make port. One man, a gunner's mate, Osmond Kelly of Pratt City, Ala., was killed, being blown into the sea by the force of the explosion of the torpedo. Five other nr.en were wounded. Verdict of Jury in Carlyle Will Case Sets Aside Will in Favor :of Mr. K. M. Biggs Appeal Taken Jto Supreme Court; Trial of the case involving the will of the late Miss Athesia Carlyle was concluded late Monday afternoon when the jury rendered a verdict setting aside the will in which Mr. K. M. Biggs of Lumberton was made the chief beneficiary. Judge Bond or dered that Mr. Biggs pay all the cost m the case. Counsel for Mr. Biggs made a formal motion Tuesday morn ing before Judge -Borid to set the ver dict aside, but this the judge l'efused to do. Notice of appeal to the Su preme court was given. Owing to the prominence of tne late deceased, the size of the estate, ard the number of people directly con cerned, rarely has a suit attracted more general interest throughout the county. This was the second time the case has been tried here. In May, 1916, exactly the same verdict was rendered by a jury, but Judge F. A. Daniels, who then presided, set the verdict aside. It is said that more than $25,000 is involved. It was alleged by the caveators that Mr. Biggs unduly influenced the deceased in making the will which bequeathed to him the major portion of her property. The will that stands now divides the property among a number of heirs, Mr. Biggs sharing with others. The caveators were represented by Ex-Gov. W. W. Kitchin of Raleigh, Messrs. Bland & Bland of Burgaw and Messrs. Britt & Britt of Lumber ton, while Mr. Biggs was represented by Messrs. McLean, Varser & Mc Lean, Messrs. S. Mclntyre and J. D. Proctor of the law firm of Mclntyre, Lawrence & Proctor, and Mr. E. J. Britt of Lumberton. . Major Malloy tried to have his ; nomination withdrawn on the ground that the captain ought by all means, he said, to be in Lumberton, since Lumberton is headquarters of the com pany. But the majority of the men thought other considerations out weighed his argument and Malloy re ceived a majority of the votes on the ! first ballot, which resulted as follows: Malloy 22, McNeill 8, Brown 6, Ben nett 2. Brown and Bennett were elect ed first and second lieutenants, re spectively, by acclamation. x Similar companies have been or ganized 1m every county in the State under the Governor's recent call to take the place of the nation guard and they will be subject to call for duty G.
