Publication type: Newspaper article 

The Ku Klux Klan had scheduled a March 27 cross burning at the site of the 1958 routing near Maxton.  Dr. English Jones, president of Pembroke State College, received a card from the Klan threatening the Lumbee with scalping if they attended the rally.  When word got out that the Lumbee were stockpiling weapons, the Superior Court issued a temporary injunction against the rally.  As of this writing, the Klan was inviting the Lumbee to join its organization, and Imperial Wizard Robert Shelton planned a recruiting trip to North Carolina.  In related articles on the same page:
