Southern Pines Mob Flogs Railroad Workers Sent to Repair Locomotive, Aug. 5, 1922

Offers Reward for Floggers at Manly

By the Associated Press

Aberdeen, N.C., Aug. 3—Gov. Cameron Morrison today offered a reward of $100 fore each member of the mob of men who late yesterday kidnapped and flogged five Seaboard Air Line workmen at Manly, near Southern Pines, and prevented them from repairing a locomotive.

None of the men was seriously injured and after receiving medical attention all returned to Raleigh last night.

Sheriff Blue stated this morning that the men who whipped with a large “black jack oak” and all their backs were terribly bruised. It was at first reported that one of the men was so badly hurt that he might die.
