Salisbury, N.C., Aug. 22—A party of negroes brought here to work in the shops of the Southern Railway at Spencer were seized by masked men at Salisbury and rushed out of town. One negro was found early today badly wounded.
The negro told the authorities that after the mob had carried them into the country in automobiles, they were dumped on the ground and told to run.
As the negroes started to run, the negroes said, the masked men fired on them. Several negroes have not been accounted for.
