Sun day night is said to have been mark ed by record attendance, many peo ple actually being unable to gain admittance. At the conclusion of this service the audience received a thrill when six men garbed in Ku Klux regilia entered the church and two of them making their way for ward to the pulpit presented the pas tor, Rev. Mr. Paitshall, a letter con taining six crisp new ten dollar bills and a note warmly commending him for the work he had accomplished in Whiteville: Mr. Paitshall accept ed the note and the money with thanks, stating that he did not know the donnors but that he recognized the spirit in which the gift was made and accepted it accordingly.
