THREATS MADE TO FARMERS.

1t vas stated in some localities that the
equity army not only requested the tobacco
growers to pool their tobacco but that they
made veiled threats which frightened the coun-
try people and spread alarm and terror through
out the western part OF the state. In some
cases it was stated that the army told the
farmers that unless they pooled their tobacco
within forty-eight hours they would have 10
take the consequences In other cases 1t was
reported that the army said TO the grower who
refused TO pool: If your barn is destroyed by
fire you will have nobody TO blame but your
self. so you had better show little wisdom.
We Will not give you another warning" Owens
