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.
