" ; \ ' THE : KUKLUXKLANS WHIPPED WOMEN Arrests Made of Men Including Fairmont Chief of Police HORRIBLE STORY IS TOLD Women Are Afraid to go Back Home After Telling of Story Rivalling all stories of flogging and ill-treatment of women ever told, is one which comes from Robeson County, N. C.t telling the details of the horrible manner in which a whiterobbed band lashed two married women of Proctorville, N. C., in that county, quite recently, resulting in the arrest of several men, among them the chief of police of Fairmont, N. C. The women were made to bend down over a pine log in the woods. Then their clothes were l^iised by the masked men and leather thongs applied on their naked flesh. When the women told their stories to the recorder their bodies still bore the bloody welts where the lash had been applied. The substance of the story as told by the women and the daughters of one of them, to whom th^ men afterwards made an apology, it is said, was told recently in a North Carolina newspaper, substantially as follows: Charged with being members of a band of eighteen masked and whiterobed men who on Saturday night, April 14, took Mrs. H. F. Purvis and Mrs. Mary Watson from the former's home at Proctorville, carried them to Mie Proctorville negro church, about a quarter of a mile away, and gave them a severe beating on their naked flesh with a leather strap, B. M. Lawson, chief of police of Fairmont, John Hedgepeth and Jule Brogden, of Proctorville, will be# tried in recorder's court in Lumberton Thursday of this week, at 10 A. M. These men were arrested Thursday night on warrants issued by Recorder W. B. Ivey after Mrs. Purvis told her story Thursday, the warrants naming fifteen charges, ranging from first degree burglary to simple assault. The arrests were made by Rural Policemen D. C. Ratlev and A. R. Pittman, who brought their prisoners to Lumberton and kent them under cuard that night. Many witnesses were summoned from Fairmont and Proctorville for trial at 10 A. M., Friday, ')ut the prosecution was not ready with its witnesses and the trial was Postponed. Lawson, Hedgpeth and P>rog;den were released by Recorder W. B. Ivev upon agreement by the attorneys, under a* ioint bond of $10,000, signed by C. W. Graham of Proctorville. P. R. Lawson of Orrum and 1 D. A. Jones, of Fairmont. R. F. D.. the bond to be forfeited if either of the defendants fails to appear for trial. Bent Over a Loj?\ Skirts Raised. 4 According to the story told by these ' women, they were bent over a log, , their skirts were raised and * lashes were applied on the bare flesh. They L were threatened with pistols when j they started to scream and under fear of death they say they were forced j to endure the 'ash in silence. A spot-light was turned on them while the lash was being anplied, the women say, and the one who applied the strap occasionally would ask a tall member of the band whom he adHvp?;snrl riR "iudcrf* " if thnh was pnniin-h and only when the "judge" was sotis. fied did the flogger stay his hand, i Black and blue bruised and angry flesh a week after the event bears mute and humilating testimony of the I brutal treatment these defenseless i women received on that terrible > night, when according to their story, for an hour and a half, from 10 to 11:30 o'clock, they were subjected to torture at the hands of these men, who said they ' were members of the Ku Klux Klan ) and three of whom Mrs. Purvis is posi\ tive she recognized. Two of these three men, Hedgepeth and Brogden, ) Mrs. Purvis says, also were recogniz) ed by her 16-year-old son, Conrad. , Warned to Keep Silent. Mrs. Purvis says she was told she ) had to go to her husband, who has t been working at Rocky Mount for some time, within ten days, and that / if they told what had been done to ) them they would be punished; that , the men were members of the klan; ' that there were 10,000 of them and ) that she could not go so far but what v they would get her. . In the house at the time of the P visit of the hooded band were Mrs. } Purvis, her three children, Conrad, ^ 16, and two others boys, aged 13 and * 10; Mrs. Mary Watson, wife of S. C. i) Watson, policeman at Proctorville, and \ her two daughters, Miss Norine, 18, - and Nathalee, 12; and Miss Line RatP ley, who has lived in the Purvis home ) for many years. ^ About 10 o'clock Mrs. Purvis saw . through the glass of the door some P white-robed masked men on her front j) porch. She called to her son, intendv ing to tell him to hifi,pg her pistol, ^ when immediately several men si mi ) larly dressed opened the ,$a^k door, ^ which was not locked, with T^vh vio, lence as to slam it against th'e wall, & and ran up the hallway to her, pointi) ing pistols at her and forcing her to v open the front door, when others enjJ tered. Every man seemed to have a l) pistol. Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Purvis j) were taken out and placed in a car and , the young: girls, Norine and Nathalee D were hustled outside, given a shove i) and told to go home. Nathalee says \ one of her arms was made sore by : the rough handling she received when l) one of the then with a pistol in one \ hand and a club in the other, caught hold of her. HORRY HERALD, CONWAY, S Walked Back Home. After being flogged fHe" women were allowed to walk hack home, the men accompanying them about half way, tp the tobacco warehouse, when they granted Mrs. Furv:&' request not , to go with them further as she was ashamed to be seen going through the town with them. Mrs. Watson says she was so rrightencd that she could not. say a word. Mrs. Purvis says she was not frightened until they started out of the house with her, and she thinks :hat the way she talked to the men :>nd shamed them for coming there disguised probably was the cause of the punishment she received. She said Lawson, whom she had known all her life, seemed to be the leader, that he gave directions i.bout what to do, and that the others said nothing or talked in whispers. Jule Brogden, she said, led the way through the front door and John Hedgepeth led the way through the back door. Not Afraid of Klan. Mrs. Purvis says she told the men they would reap this before they died and Lawson, she said, then made his threat about what would happen if it was told. She was reminded that she had said she was not afraid of the klan, and she replied that she was not. that if they'd take olT their masks thev were like all other men. Mrs. Watson was told, she says, that she had not done her duty towards her husband when he was sick, but she said there was no truth in that; that she had given him every attention; and this statement was corroborated by her daughters. Mrs. Purvis, Mrs. Watson and Miss Norine say there is no truth in any of the charges made by the men against any of them, and they say that three of them returned the following Tuesday night to apologize to Miss Norine in regard to whom, they said, they had made a mistake. After telling their story to Solicitor T. A. McNeill these women were afraid to go home and they are boarding in Lumberton for the present. Mrs. Watson says she has no means of paying for herself and her two daughters and Solicitor McNeill has assumed the obligation of seeing that their board is paid. It is understood that several citizens have assured Mr. McNeill that they will stand by him in this obligation. Messrs. McNeill & Hatchett and Mclntyre, Lawrence and Proctor will assist Solicitor Ertel Carlyle in the preliminary hearing before Recorder Tvey Thursday, while Messrs. McLean, Varver and McLean, Britt and Britt and E. J. BrHt will represent the defense. n REGARDING PREPARATIONS AND MACHINES FOR BOLL WEEVJL CONTROL Clemson College.?The vigorous exploitation at the present time of various patent preparations and machies for boll weevil control in South Carolina is but a c.iso of history repeating itself; it is merely a case of what has occurred in every region invaded by flio Kr?11 wnnvil tinpp 1892. onlv it doe? seem that South Carolina is harder hit than probably any section heretofore, fays Frof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist. During the first few years after the weevil reaches a given territory the farmers are exploited and many useless devices are sold to them, and it seems that South Carolina farmers and business men are usually willing buyers. Organizations for such purposes start but go out of business after a year or two. Their activities at this time are of special signifiance in in South Carolina, because the expense of buying such nostrums will increase the losses caused by the boll weevil. Many of the materials sold have claims made for them which are no1 based on accurate scientific tests. Ir some cases the persons exploiting them are unquestionably sincere while in other cases they are not. Ir many cases unfortunately the farmei will much more readily accept the claims of a stranger than the result? of accurately conducted tests of state and federal agencies. In other case? farmers demand the results obtainec by efficient tests before they put. theii money into such materials. o COTTON GROWERS MEET Atlanta, Ga.?More than 200 cottor growers, mill owners, buyers and de partment of agriculture representatives from Georgia and the Carolina? gathered here today and discussed various phases of the Fulmer bill, 01 Cotton Standards Act, which will gc into effect in August.

Over fifty Sumter County farmers have recently sowi^.l?p|^Aza pastures, while in Florence* Coumy over one hundred and fifty acres,Hif pasture lands have been se &i&lr*by various farmers as starter's fvr^llfttter pastures. The brief reports below tare given as specimens of the progress j being made over the State in this \xm ?? V/ 1 xv Many Pastures of Lespedeza and Carpet Grass. "Twelve hundred pounds of carpet grass and fifty bushels of lespedeza have been purchased co-operatively and placed on fifty-two pastures. Several Bermuda pastures have been put j out and a number of farmers have I plowed and improved their pastures as a result of our campaign for better pastures."?J. F. Williams, Sumter. "Lancaster County farmers are using; lespedeza for pastures very heavily this spring. A number are sowing on good land for hay. J. Roy Cunningham is sowing fifty acres now in grain to this plant as a soil improvement crop. He will allow it to stand this summer, turning it under this fall. Around fifty farmers are using it as the basis of their pasture mixtures, supplementing it with Dallas grass and carpet grass."?W. F. Howell, Lancaster. "While S. L. Jeffords was here we looked over several pastures started last year with carpet grass and lespedeza. Some of these made good growth, and have furnished grazing through the winter from carpet grass. This indicates that for this section carpet grass may furnish grazing throughout the year for during this winter we nave had some weather as cold as it usually gets here."?M. M. McCord, Georgetown "Mr. Ivoogan, the dairy specialist, and I are pushing permanent pastures for all we are worth, and over a him dred and fifty acres have been seeded this month. Pastures are absolutely necessary for economical production and the farmers .are beginning to realize it."?J. W. McLendon, Florence. "1 have assisted in planning and planting new pastures. I have assist; ed a number of parties in planting all the way from one to forty acre*; in pastures. Most of this .acreage has been planted in carpet grass and les, pedeza."?J. W. Sheal>\ Lexington. "In Charleston County the pasture demonstrations of last year look fine and all of them are going to be en, larged. In fact, the trouble the coun. tv agent is having is to keep the are,9 . planted down in proportion to the . stock that will be available to graze on the new area of pastures. The , young captain in charge of the U. S , Munition Depot has planted 50C . pounds of carpet grass seed and s.ay?

It is nothing: any better, .however, than the program for today, the second day of the chautauqua. Perry's Ye Olde New England Choir will opeu the afternoon performance with a concert. There will be costumed sketches from the music of the Pilgrims down to the present c^ay, with the old songs, we all love and the present day songs that have made q. great big hit with the people. They will hold forth again at night. This alone will be worth the cost of admission. The lecturer for the second day will be there with The High Mission of Woman, at the afternoon performance and Main Street against Broadway at night. His name is Stanley Upton Mock. He is a word painter of the highest class, lecturer and orator. He is a master in dealing with big problems with unusual simplicity. The chautauqua is starting as we go to press with this issue of the Herald. It has every promise of making a big success. The second and third days are so full of interesting things that j we have tried to give readers an idea ot wnat trtese are. Those Who tray have missed the treats of the first day will be able to attend on the -ocoml and third days. The new school auditorium is hi# enough to hold all of the people who will come.

Fun and laughter are their predominating features. It is a combination entertainment of music and story. Just a touch of serious is added to make a properly balanced program. farming profitable. For wintering cattle, feeding steers and improving soil, the velvet bean, both as a winter pasture crop and as a grain feed for cattle in the pen, is unsurpassed by any crop grown in the South, thinks W. j. Sheely, Extension Livestock Specialist. A growth of three tons per acre of velvet beans (dried crop) will contain as much nitrogen as 500 pounds of nitrate of soda. If grazed by livestock, practically all of the nitrogen will be returned to the soil. In addition there will be a profitable gain in weight of the animals and an addition to the humus content of th soil. Records show that 80 acres of velvet beans carried 100 head of cattle four months. Twenty tons of velvet beans with _:i i ?*ii ' ' Hiuijre or ouiei rougnage will ieeu 30 steers, averaging 800 pounds, for 120 days. If of good quality and fed properly, steers should make a profitable daily gain on velvet bean ration and silage and straw. The early speckle velvet beans are . the more valuable for feed on account of the high percentage of , beans to pod and the ease with which cattle can masticate the thin hulls. Records show that South Carolina . spent $50,000,000.00 for feeds in 1920 L Had velvet beans been planted in all , the corn and a yield of 800 pounds per } acre gathered, the bean crop at pres? ent price would be worth now About $10,000,000.00. This does not includc i the value of nitrogen and humus thai . would have been returned to the soi > by the vines. : Grow velvet beans this year.

His example is one which young farmers of this day should study and therefrom learn the lessons which his life will teach them. Too many of them spend the best days of their youth and middle age ij,? hunting for the easy job, which they will always fail to find. Hyman expected his job to be hard. He would not have enjoyed it if it had net been. When things did not go right and others would have been discouraged and. ready to quit, Hyman was only warming up to the conflict. Just so must every man be willing to do if he would leave behind any mark whatever that will be remembered for a day. Larry Hyman was known to all those with whom he dealt as a man of push and energy to the very best of the strength which his Creator had given him. He was an apostle of going forward while others hesitated at the difficult task. From his life younger men may learn the quality of sticking at their chosen calling and making the best out of that instead of losing their time in hunting for fortune at the foot of the rainbow. We do not mean to say that Larry Hyman did not have his faults. Every man has those to more or less extent. It is not human nature to be perfect. Some may go so far, in the course of hero worship ,as to get their idol fixed up in their minds as a man without faults; but a closer acquaintance, study of their idol's every day affairs, will be apt to disclose flaws and defects that were not suspected before. Larry Hyman had less of such faults than many you will know in this life. He made mistakes but he tried to correct them. He would find out that he was wrong and would then try to get right. His life deserves mention because he lived it different from the common run of those who till the soil for a living-. He had ever with him those qualities which tended to create in others the admiration which the right kind of living brings. He was not an angel, not by any means, he was just a hard-working and faithful man who succeeded above the average and raised a family. cialist. If you gather and carry him his food, he will eat it, grunt, sit back and give you a small return for your trouble; but if you grow the forage and grain crops and let him gather them, he will grow a larger frame, keep in better health, be happier, get ready for the market earlier on less feed, and pay you more for the food consumed. In other words, the hog pays his owner for the privilege of gathering his own food. Again, a high class (or well bred) pig will give his owner more revenue per acre of food consumed than will ' the scrub pig. Not only this, but the high class pig will go on the market and outweigh his scrub neighbor by . 100 pounds or more and outsell him by 1 to 3 cents per pound. Thus a 250 pound high class pig will sell for about $11.00 more than his 150 pound I 1. ?1-1 scruo neignuor. In short, a high class pig looks up to his owner and says: "You grow the feed, and I will pay you to let me gather it, by putting on more pounds of good quality meat for food eaten, t by finishing out at an earlier age, by I going to market in tip-top shape, thus vamping the buyers and returning to k you more dollars for your trouble. Plant me something now for me to gather during July, August and September, so I can go to market in September." Mr. Pig Owner, now are not your . pigs queer fellows? They are now i begging you to let them help you. r Don't let them plead in vain. Plant ) forage crops now.
