OUB 4fH LIBERTY LOAN
QUOTA IS $79,100
The emount'of the Fourth Liber
ty Loan has been announced as six
Billion dollars, and is apportioned
as follows in this state' North Car
olina thirty - nine million nine
hundred thousand dollars; Cleve
land county six hundred thousand
dollar; Kings Mountain see.ity
nine thousand one hundred dollars.
This U more than double the quota
for Kings Mountain in the last loan
and just a little more than the sub
scription amounted to. Kings Moun
tain's Quota in the Third Liberty
Loan was thirty nine thousand
dollars and our subscription amount
ed to above seventy six thousand
dollar. We must, therefore, sub
scribe more this time to reach our
minimum than we subjcribed all
. together last time. Kings Mountain
allottment is diviled between the
two banks as follows: First National
Bank forty-six thousand two l ui
dred dollars arid the Peoples Loan
& TruM Company thirty-two thous
and nine hundred dollars.
For every dollar subscribed in
the Third Liberty Loan in Kings
Mountain there must be subscribed
about one dollar and eight cents to
reach our minimum. But it will be
remembered that we have to help
cut Shelby and other parts of the
county in most financial campaigns.
Also tome who subscribed last
time may not be able to subscribed
again so soon So, let those who are
to subscribe more than they did
last time do so at ouce in order
that the total subscription may
foot up above our quota. In the
state as a whole there must be
subscribed this time one dollar and
sixty-two cents for each dollar sub
scribed in the last campaign. North
Carolina, as a whole, over-s ib
scribed its quota in the last cam
paign. Ihe town of Kinjs Mountain
over doubled its quota. -
Suae towns in the state went
ever the top the first day. Black
Mountain subscribed its quota five
times over before the dinner bell
rang Saturday. Subscriptions have
already begun to come in at the
local banks. Let's get "over" quickly
as possible and raise a yelL
The Union Sunday School
Singing Convention met Sunday
with Bethlehem Sunday scho 1
with W.jC, Ledford, president,
presiding' Patterson Grove, Oak
Grot e and Antioch joined with
Bethlehem in making music for
the day. Each choir Is said to
have done real genuine fine
spiritual singing. II wh voted
that the convention meet next at
Patterson Grove the fifth Sun
day la March. Notwithstanding
the tact that gaaollneless Sun
day kept lots of people away
there was a very large attend
ance. A collection was taken for
the Red Cross amounting to $80.
This give the Herald an idea;
that at all meetings where there
is ko other demand that a col
lection be taken for the' Rad
Cross. Good for Bethlehem.
