Russians Deported, 1920

From the editorial page of The Beaufort News, Thursday, Jan. 1, 1920, William Giles Mebane, editor and publisher

Farewell Reds

Some were cursing, some singing and some weeping when the ship load of anarchists were started on their ship back to Russia from the port of New York not long since. These rascals who would overthrow the American government and who like to denounce it, like well enough to live here. They cannot pick up a good living in Russia as easily as they did here and down in their hearts they are no doubt sore at the prospects of going back to their own distracted and demoralized country. We are well rid of them though and there are a good many left here yet who ought either to be jailed or deported.
