The Weekly Standard 1862
From The Weekly Standard, published at Raleigh, N.C. Feb. 2, 1862
 
An Abolitionist Poled and Ducked
 
We learn from the Salisbury papers that on Saturday last SANDY TAITE, a 
Scotsman, who has resided in Rowan for some five or six years took it in his 
head to express abolition sentiments; whereupon the said SANDY was seized, 
carried into a back lot, stripped to his waist, tarred and feathered then 
carried through town on a pole, then ducked in the creek. He was afterwards 
arrested under a warrant and committed to prison to answer for his offense.
