and Does Not Buy.
Vance county's campaign for the
Fourth Liberty Loan got well under
way Monday, following a meeting of
the central county committee held
Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at
the Chamber of Commerce. Plans
for carrying the drive to every part
of the county were discussed, and
some of the measures adopted were
gotten under way early Monday
morning.
It was decided to send committees
of two to each tobacco warehouse in
the city all this week during the
sales. There the matter of the gov
ernment's appeal win be placed be
fore the farmers wno come in to sell
their tobacco, and the necessity for
t h e i ichasin g will be impressed
uh them. The meeting Sunday
Afternoon named x one man for each
warehouse, and left it to him to se
lect his partner. Those selected
Sunday included C. S. Brewer at the
High Price warehouse, S. B. Burwell
at Smith & Knott, W. T. Watkins
at the Planters, E. G. Watkins at
Harris & Young, and George A.
Rose at Cooper's. All of these men,
with their assistants were on the job
at the opening of the sales at each
place Monday.
It is the plan of the committee to
place in each warehouse a roll of
honor. On this list will be written
the name of every farmer who buys
a bond.
It is also announced by the com
mittee that the name of every bond
buyer will later be published, the
idea being to show to the public the
long roster of patriotic men and wo
men of the county who -come to the
aid of the government at this time.
R. B. Crowder, chairman of the
committee for this county, officially
announced Monday that the quota
assigned to Vance county by the
ixaie committee, -was aennueiy nxea
at $464,000. This is something like
$40,000 less than had been con
templated, and in a measure simpli
fies the task that faces the county.
Nevertheless, it is the largest amount
ever asked of Vance for any cause
In an effort to getall that is due
the county in its drive, the commit
tee, through its secretary, R. E. Ran-
son, has written all local represen
tatives of foreign corporations, ask
ing them to have their companies
make their prorata purchases thru
the local Liberty Loan committee, so
that the county may get the credit
for it.

COURT IN SESSION
FOR BRIEF PERIOD
Only Motion Cases and No
Jury Trials Called Before
Judge Kerr
Superior court was to convene at
a o clock Monday afternoon for a
very brief season, at which only mo
tion cases were to be called. Judge
John H. Kerr was in the-city to pre
sied and Solicitor Garland E. Mid-
yette was to represent the State in
such matters as came up for 'trial.
The regular session of the court
for October was cancelled last week
by request of the local bar, on ac
count of the press of business which
is being attended to by the attorneys
of the city in assisting registrants
with their questionnaires.
After the session really convened,
it was expected that only a few hours
would be required to dispose of all
cases that were to be attended to at
this time. There were comparative
ly few of this character,, and the
others that were pending were to be
carried over to the March term of
court.
