Superior Court Judge William A. Johnson issued
a temporary injunction barring a planned Ku Klux Klan rally near Maxton.
It was feared that the rally would lead to another near-violent confrontation
like the one in 1958. The affidavits brought before Judge Johnson
asserted that several Lumbees had received hate letters that may have been
from Klansmen; the Klan members were now highly armed; and Pembroke stores
were nearly sold out of ammunition.
