Politics in Rutherford County were heated a century ago: the developing textile industry, the growing population, an agricultural crisis and race relations inflamed everyone. Mills Higgins Flack, a leader of the Farmers' Alliance and the county's first Populist in the state House, was allegedly murdered on August 28, 1900, by Avery Mills, an African American. This book documents the murder and the lynching of Avery Mills. The author (Flack's great-great-grandson) considers the phenomena of racial lynching, the Populist movement in the county, the white supremacy movement of the state's Democratic party and the county's KKK activities.

Excerpt from The University of North Carolina Record; October 20, 1936, Vol. 311: Research in Progress, October, 1935-October, 1936 The Role Of Blood Cells in Excretion in Ascidians. Biological Bulletin, 71: 249-254. 1936. In many ascidians in which there are no renal vesicles the wastes Of purine metabolism appear to be withdrawn from the tissue fluids by cells Of the connective tissue and blood. Vesicular cells with stored excretion products have been found in the circulating blood or fixed in the connective tissue spaces of, many Species. The excretion granules may range in size from the limits Of visibility with the highest powers Of the microscope to intracellular calculi several microns in diameter. In the living cells they are sometimes, probably always, one color (usually brown) by transmitted light and another color (usually white) by reflected light. The structure Of these cells and the icon centration of purine bases within the vacuoles indicate that extremely thin protoplasmic membranes may act in a glandular capacity, or at least as selec tive excretory membranes.
