POLICE CHIEF WILL BE
TRIED ON NINE CHARGES
(Continued from Page One)
through Hie glass of the door some
white-robed men.on her front porch.
She called to tier son, intending to
tell him to tiling her pistol, when im
.inedintely several men similarly dis
guised opened the hack door, which
wus not locked, with such violence as
to slam it against the wall, and ran
up the hallway to her, pointing pistols
at her and forcing her to open the
front door, when others entered. Ev
ery man seemed to have a pistol. Mrs.
| Watson and Mrs; Purvis were taken
out and placed in a car and the young
girls, Norine and Xathalee, were litis-
I tlbd outside, given a shove and (old to
go home. Natlialeo says one of her
iirrnN was made sore by (lie rough
handling she received when one of the
men. with a pistol in one hand and a
club iu the other, caught hold of it.
After being flogged the women wore
allowed to walk back home, the men
accompanying them about half way,
to the tobacco warehouse, when they
granted Mrs. Purvis’ request not to
go with them any farther as she was
ashamed to be seen going through town
with Jliem.
. Mrs. WatsOn says she was so fright
[eiied that she could not say a word,
Purfis says she was not friglit-
I died until they started out of the
| house with her, and she thinks that
|the way she talked to them mid sham
led them for coming there disguised
probably was the cause of the punish
ment she received.
She said Lawson, whom she had
known all her life, seemed to be lead
er, that he gave directions about whnt
to do, and that the others said noth
ing or talked in whispers. Jule Brog
deu. she said, led the way through the
front door and John Hedgepeth led
the way through the back door.
Mrs. Purvis says she told the men
they would reap this before they died
and Lawson, she said, then made his
threat about whnt would hapiien if it
were told. She \yns reminded that
she had Said she was not afraid of the
klan, and she replied that, she was
not, that if they’d take off their
masks they we're like other men.
Mrs. Watson was told, she says, that
she had not done her duty by her hus
band when he was sick, but she said
there was no truth in that, that she
had given him every attention; and
this statement was corroborated by her
daughters.
Mrs. Purvis, Mrs. Watson and Miss
Norine say there is no truth in any
of the charges made by the men against
any of them, and they say that three
of them returned the Tuesday night
following to apologize to Miss Norine.
in regn rd, to whom, they said, they hnd
made n mistake.
After teU|ng their story to Solici
tor T. A. McNeill these women were
nfraid to-go home and they are board
ing in Lumberton f<w the present. Mrs.
Watson says she has no means of pay
ing for herself and her two daughters
and Solicitor McNeill has assumed the
obligation of seeing that their board is
l>aid. It is understood that several
citizens have assured Mr. McNeill that
they will stand by him in this obliga
tion.
The fisher folk of Scotland are very
superstitious. For instance, one must
not speak to a crew on their way to
the harbor, as the person doing so will
be responsible for any misfortune, that
may happen during the voyage.

ROTARY MEETING
New Officers of Club Installed and
Plans Discussed for Club’s Work
During Coming Year.
Local Rotarians at their meeting on
Tuesday night installed new officers
.for the year and heard suggestions for
Work during the year, the meeting
proving one of the most interesting the
club has ever held.
The new officers installed at the
meeting a re: \
Sam Rnnkfn, President. |
A. G. Odell, Vice President.
IV. G. Cnswell. Treasurer.
Marlin Verburg, Secretary.
Bol> Ridenhour, Jr., Sergeant at l
Arms. ,
P. M. LniTerty, Assistant Sergeant at
Arms.
Tom Lawrence, song leader of the
dub since its organization, presided. |
this honor having been bestowed upon
him by reason of his efficient service in ■
the past coupled with the fact Hint, lie
leaves soon for his new iionio in Mary
land.
Just before installing Hie new offi
cers Toni presented a gift to the retir
ing President, Maury Richmond. The
gift, Tom said, was in token of the
love in which Maury is held by the
dub inemliers and in appreciation of
bis untiring efforts during the past
.vear. In receiving the gift Mnury de
clared that he deeply appreciated the
gift for the spirit in which it was giv
en, but that he appreciated even more'
the tine spirit of co-operation with
which the meuilters had worked with
him during the,year. “1 have never
enjoyed anything more than this
year’s work ns President of this dub,”,
he stated.
Tiie new President, after being in
stalled. made a short talk, nsklnrf the
members to do their duty when called
niton by him during the year, predict
ing a great year for the club and of
fering a few suggestions as to work
the dull can take up during the. year.
> The first suggestion- President Sam
made was Hull the dub get a firmer
bold on (he masses by bringing more
people together. lie suggested several
joint meetings during the year with
the Kiwanis dub and other organiza
lioris of the city and declared lie would
like to see the club go further and get
in touch with those people who call
themselves ’’employes." This could be
dime, he said, by having a big barbe
cue.
President Sam also touched on ru
ral education, stating that he believed
the matter of consolidated schools in J
Hie county should lie taken up. He
also urged all members to attend the
meetings regularly, to take more in
terest in the musical programs and to
answer in the affirmative when called
upon to perform some work for the
dub.
The first committee appointed by
the liav President was a Music Coni-'
mitte«? composed of Martin Verburg. ;
Roll Ridenhour, Kay Patterson, Leslie
Bell. Gus Ilartsell and L. T. Hartsell. i
The committee will have charge of the '
program next week.
Miss Margaret Hartsell, club pianist,' 1
at this point in the meeting was pre
sented with a gift by Tom Lawrence
for the club in token of her “faithful
service.” She declared i,t was a pleas
ure to play for the dub each week in
expressing appreciation for the gift.
“Looking Forward," was Frank Nib
look’s subject when he made suggest
ions as to work the dull .can undertake
in the next year. The suggestions
Frank pointed out, were collected from
written suggestions each member pre
sented at a recent meeting. Some of
the suggestions were:
Music in the public schools in Con
cord. I
Consolidated rural schools. I
Naming of all streets in city and
numbering of nil houses. ~ i
Incinerator to burn city’s trash.
New athletic field at high school. |
Support of Y. M. C. A.
luterest in boys brought into court.
Better relations between so-called
capital and labor.
Aid for crippled children of county.
After announcing the suggestions
Frank plead witli the dub members to
give special attention to two: greater
support for the Y. M. C. A. and more
interest in the relations between em
ployer and employe. The question of
consolidated schools was also given
special emphasis as was the need for a
new athletic field at the high school.
Though the dub did not intend to
take up any of the suggestions at the
meeting President Sam was advised
that something should be done at once
about the athletic field, as the school
board has made no provision for it in
laying off plans for the high school
site. The board will not have enough
money to construct the field. So the
President appointed a committee com
posed of Aubrey Hoover, Bill Flowe
and Lester Coltrnne to study the mat
ter with an idea of ascertaining what
the field will cost and whether or not
the city will make an appropriation for
it.
Kerr treet Revival.
The service Tuesday night wits even
better than nny service yet. The West
lord choir from the Hartsell Mill, was
present and did . some fine singing,
which was enjoyed by all present. The
preacher spoke on the call of God
from Proverbs 1:24-25-26, “because I
have called and ye refused. I have
stretched out my hiiud and no man re
garded. But ye have set at naught all
my counsel and would none of my re
proof. I will also laugh at your ca
lamity, 1 will mock when fear com
eth." The preacher said in part:
God has been railing men ever since
Adam sinned and God called him with
a call of love and said, “Adam, where
art thou?” He calls men in various
ways. First, by nature. As we look
at all the handiwork of God, we can
see in the very nature of tKe earth
the call of God. Second, God calls man
by His word. There is not a home
hardly hut. where you can find God’s
word. God calls men through his ser
vants, the prophets and ministers. I
would he glad if you would loro sight
of the preacher and only see God and
hear His call. Fourth. God calls by
the Holy Spirit, and He has been call
ing in these services. But listen, the
call gets fainter and fainter. Fifth, ‘
God also calls by Providence. The ‘
storms come for a purpose. The floods
come for a purpose. The awful ca- |
lamlties come for a purpose. Death
sometimes is God calling through Prov
idence.
We had a fine service. Souls were .
I saved. Service tonight at 7:30. Come.
Miss Minnie Allman, from Knnnnpolis,
has come to assist in the music nnd
singing. She is n groat help in revival

Popular Boston Lady Says Prunitone
l Has Proven a Godsend to Her.
It is always Interesting to listen to
tiie statements of our friends, nnd
especially when you I know they' nre
sincere and honest in what they say.
Added interest is created in n state
ment coming from one, who lias spent
u lifetime in Boston, where, she is
well known socially.
Such a person is Annie Stewhrt, who
resides in Boston and is possessed of
tiie respect and confidence of her as
sociates, and is willing for any one to
call on her to verify the following
signed testimonial.
t “I have suffered with stomach Jrou
ble for the past seven years. It took
the form of indigestion and dyspepsia,
i had dizzy spells and headaches, and
after I ate a little food it would for
] ment and cause gas to form in m,v
(stomach, I had pains all over my
| body and was chronically constipated.
• M.v liver was torpid and I felt niiser
■ aide. 1 had doctored and bad been in
the hospital, but received no perma
nent relief. I was so nervous and
restless that at night I could scarcely
sleep. The gas, pressing under my
heart, caused palpitation, and when
1 arose in tiie morning i was just as
■ tired ns when I retired. About two
■ weeks ago I begad to take Prunitone,
l and I can truthfully state that it has
i done wonders in my case. lam feel

through and have no more aches or
l pains; in fact, it has cured me. and I
■ am recommending it to all of my

me.”
