Bv reference to the Proclamation,
v-hich we carry again in the middle
of this page, will be seen that Chair
man Yancey and his assistants -plan
to put the Fourth Liberty Loan over
in Granville county on one day, Oc
tober 2. For that purpose, we may
qov without exaggeration, that Jhe
finest organization has been perfect
ed that ever undertook a job in this
county. The tobacco warehousemen
and buvers, the bankers, the .busi
ness and professional men are enthus
iatieally behind this .. loan and are
determined to put it over. Every day
at the luncheon hour the committee
ineats for a conference. Every day
these busy men give an hour of their
valuable time to this work. If pos
sible, the Woman's Committee, is
busier and more enthusiastic. The
whole organization is working night
-uid day and the activity will increase
from day to day until the final .great
drive on October 2.
The nlan is to visit every home in
the county on that day. This does
not mean 95 per cent of the homes;
it means all of them. The whole
countv has been mapped by rural
routes and teams of workers assign
ed to these routes. Every team will
know where it is to go and the terri
tory it is expected to cover.
Teams have been assigned to the
various routes as follows:
