Crop Conditions
Good, Says Agent
Klan Is Blamed For
Missile Being Hurled
A piece of lead was either
shot or fired from outside the
upstairs apartment of Brown's
Superette, where a group of
"Friends" are quartered
during a demonstration here on
Thursday night of last week.
The lead entered a window of
the apartment and penetrated
a partition between two rooms.
Members of the group said the
missile was fired from a gun,
but Sheriff Jim Hundley said
the missile was too large to
have been shot from a pistol
or rifle, and leaned towards the
theory that It was hurled from
a sllng-shot. He said, how
ever, It constituted an assault
and could have proved fatal
had It struck any of the oc
cupants.
Some 40 white men had
gathered on the streets and In
front of the building and their
activities in addition to har
rassment of the friends con
sisted of sticking Ku Klux em
blems of warning on the auto
mobiles of the Friends and in
sticking a warning sign on the
door of the office of The War
ren Record.
Members of the Friends
group said that they had dif
ficulty In contacting the local
police and that finally GaneQe
Brown succeeded In reaching
the Sheriffs Department, the
Highway Patrol and the office
of the Governor. Upon the ar
rival of Sheriff Hundley and two
of hie deputies and several
members of the State Highway
Patrol, dangers of further ha
rassment to the group was
ended. The crowd of white
people stood around the streets
for some time, but offered no
troU>le.
The Ku Klux Klan Is blamed
for this and two other distur
bances In recent days in which
the Friends were threatened
and told to leave town. How
ever, the men wore no regalia
or badges, and how many were
Klansmen, how many sympath
isers, and how many were drawn
here by curiosity la not known.
The posting of Klan signs would
indicate that the demonstration
was Man inspired.
racial group sent here by The
Friends Society and while some
of the membership Is local,
some from the South, the major
ity are from the North. They
are here to teach, primarily and
are seeking to Improve racial
relations, but many white people
have expressed the view that
that their presencehere Is wor
sening such relations. They
came to Warren County at the
Invitation of a group of Negro
Leaders.
Watson S. Mason, Jr., leader
of the group said on Friday
morning that the group Is de

No Threat
Now From
Boll Weevil
Crop prospects for Warren
County are excellent and with
no present threat from boll
weevils, County Agent Frank W.
Reams said yesterday.
Reams said that corn, cot
ton and tobacco are looking just
about as good as he has seen
In the county during his stay
here, but that the earlier crops
were hurt by dry weather.
A heavy wind and rain storm,
with some hall, caused some
damage In theFlve Forks neigh
borhood on Wednesday after
noon. Reams said Thursday
morning that rain was reported
to have been about 2.5 Inches
and that the heavy downpour
was accompanied by high winds.
Crops were blown down, but he
?aid that he had not had an
opportunity to survey the
damage.
As for the boll weevil, at
present It Is almost nonexistent,
Reams said. A spot check this
week found weevils on only thr ee
farms and on these farms the
Infestation was less than one
per cent, he said.
"During my entire stay In
Warren County," Reams said,
"I have never found less boll
weevils than at this time of
year. It Is amazing."
However, the agent suggested
that farmers continue to keep
a close watch over their cot
ton fields and to take prompt
remedial action should the
weevils make their appearance.
