The elder Gore, ~, a farmer,
has been crippled since 1912 as
a result of an automobile acct

COLUMBUS
KU KLUXERS
NOT KNOWN
Several Shots Fired
At Fleeing Man

A mob without robes or hoods
but believed to be a band of Ku
kluX klansmen and operating in
typical XXX fashion, invaded the
home OF Mrs. Evergreen Flowers,
Negro of the Broadway section
of Columbus county, two miles
west Of Chadbourn last Thurs.
day night and administering a
severe beating. She was never
told the reason for the assault
by the mob of "some 40 to 80
men,"
Sheriff H. Hugh Nance said
this week that there was some
reason to believe that the mob
was part of the Ku Klux Klan
group that has been operating in
South Carolina. He said that
some witnesses said that license
plates on some of the cars looked
like Virginia license plates. He
said South Carolina plates are
similar and led to the suspicion
that perhaps outsiders were in
volved in the assault.
Piecing together the details Of
the raid as best they could thi:
week, the sheriff and his force
believed the following to be
about what happened:
The victim, her husband, Willie
Flowers, and a ten year-old
daught were in the house ASLEEP
when several cars drove up abou
11:3O Thursday night. They a
woke and Flowers saw the mob
He said that he then rushed tt
the back room to get his shotgun
but found he had no shells. HI
claimed that the mob, all white
men, then fired several shot:
when he ran out the back dool
to go to. his brothers house fol
assistance.
Officers found five empty
shells to substatiate this part Of
the story.
The victim told the officers she
was beaten with sticks and CUR
and then carried outside to be
put in the trunk of car. She
said that one of the mob remark
ed 1--WE can't get him. Let's leave
her alone"
The young daughter said her
mother was hit in the head with
gun. The victim exhibited a
cash on her head and bruises on
her legs as evidence of the beat
ing.
According to Flowers and his
wife, there were eight to ten
cars in the caravan. White resi-
dents in the section said that
they saw the automobiles and
said they travelled east to Grice.
No one admitted recognizing
anyone in the group.
Sheriff Nance said today that
he had been unable to get identi-
fication of any of the raiders
thus far but that his force was
working on the case and that ar
rests would be made if and when
the guilty persons were found.
