Fayetteville, Aug. 18—Rev. G. Scott Turner of Cedar Falls Baptist church in this county is one minister who does not welcome robed and masked visitors to his church service. When a body of Ku Klux klansmen in full regalia entered the Ceder Falls church during the progress of a sermon by Rev. A.E. Pittman of Mullins, S.C., Mr. ‘turner stepped to the front of the pulpit and asked the delegation to retire, but the robed figures continued to advance down the aisle, and the pastor repeated his request that they leave the church as they were disturbing the service. The visitors then turned and filed out of the church.
Cedar Falls church is in Carver’s Creek township, about six miles north of Fayetteville on the Linden road.
