xxx. BRINGS BAD
PUBLICITY
TO COLUMBUS

Indicative of the unwholesome
publicity that Columbus county
is receiving all over the State
and elsewhere since the series OF
night riding hoodlums began
making regular raids is the fol
lowing editorial which appeared
in a recent issue of the Ra.
leigh News and Observer:
REGION OF TERROR
Since the Ku Klux Khan held a
rally near Whiteville last August
that portion of the county has
witnessed a reign of TERROR with
no less than 4 brutal floggings.
Any direct connection between
the floggings and the Klan has
not been proven for the simple
reason that none of the miscre.
ants have been apprehended and
their identity is not known.
There seems to be no room for
doubt, however, that the Khan
was directly or indirectly respon.
sibile for all of them and that the
responsibility was direct in at
least some of the four cases.
There has been conviction and
proper punishment by road sen.
fences of two years each in the
case of three men who threaten.
ed to "klux" an intended victim.
The outcome of that case will
have a salutary effect, but that
effect will be nulified to a large
extent so long as the mobs who
not only threatened to flog their
victims, but actually carried out
their threats remain at large.
The full resources of the State
and particularly those of the
State Bureau of Investigation
should be placed behind the eff
fort to apprehend the hoodlums
responsible for these outrages.
Some people were inclined to
minimize the effects of the inva-
sion of North Carolina by the
South Carolina branch of the Ku
Klux Khan last year. What has
happened in the last five months
should convince the most opti'

Veterans Are Good Risks

Less than one percent of the
home loan mortgages guaranteed
by the Veterans Administration
have been defaulted. OF the
2,G43,000 veterans loans approved
by the V. A., claims have only had
to be paid against 1886. None
tarily this amounts to $16,403,-
100000 worth of veterans mort
cages with a loss of only S13,.
591, 900. This is record that can
compare favorably with any other

veterans is justified. These young
