Albemarle Is Quiet, Troops May Soon Be Withdrawn, Sept. 16, 1919

From The Daily Times, Wilson, N.C., Sept. 16, 1919

Quiet Prevails at Albemarle. . . Troops Patrol Streets. . . No Trouble Since Yesterday

Albemarle, Sept. 16—With three companies of troops patrolling the streets last night following the trouble at the mills yesterday morning, the town is quiet and no further trouble is expected and it is believed the troops may soon be withdrawn.

The clash occurred at the Wiscassett Mills, where the state and county authorities clashed with strikers and their sympathizers, when it was reported that an attempt was made to disarm some of the strikers who were picketing the mills.

The arrival of the troops met with no opposition and no further trouble is anticipated.
