KKK Threatens White Businesses in Black Community, Nov. 5, 1920

Several days ago notices with matches stuck through them were found on the doors of the stores of Boggan Bros. and G.W. Saunders, at Pee Dee, says the Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer. Mr. Saunders and Boggan Bros. are the only white merchants at Pee Dee, and the notices warned them to leave or take the consequences. They paid no attention to the notices, but turned them over to Sheriff Braswell, who is investigating the matter. (From the Monroe Journal, Nov. 5, 1920)
