Special Council Meeting.

special meeting of council was held
Wednesday evening to hear the report
of the committee appointed to arrange
for councils participation in the
Memorial Day parade. The committee
reported having engaged two carriages,
the expense of which will be borne by
the members.
Considerable other business was also
discussed at the meeting. The lack of
keys to the Municipal building was
taken up and the building committee
was instructed to procure forty-eight
keys for the main door and twelve for
the council chamber.
Repairing OF Centre street was next
considered, and during the discussion
the rumor that the Lehigh Traction
Company may extend its tracks to the
Second ward and possibly to Upper Le-
high cropped out. All the corporations
enjoying public franchises came in for a
share of the talk, and the sentiment of
the members appeared to be in favor of
the borough receiving some return for
the valuable privileges accorded to the
corporations doing business here.
The president and sanitary committee
were instructed to meet with the solicit
or this evening for the purpose Of select
ing Board of Health.
This was followed by motion, which
was passed, extending an invitation to
the trolley company to extend its line
to the northern limits of the borough,
and to Upper Lehigh, il possible.

DEFENDED HER FATHER.-There is

the truth under all circumstances en-
barrassed her father very much the 9TH
er day. Not long ago he lost hlgh sal

in addition to a good block of stock. II
was noticed that the little girl was
deeply impressed with the incident, and
looked at her father doubtingly when
he was home. One evening there was
company at the house and the host be-
came involved in a heated political de-
bate with peppery guest. The former
made a statement which the latter fiat
ly denied.

host, "you don't mean to call me

as she sprang in front of the visitor ano
glared at him with flaming eyes, "and
won't have it. My papa is a robbel
and a thief, but he is no liar"

from the child, and the hilliarity fol-
lowing the expose was the joy of the
evening.

ORIGIN OF THE KU KLUX KHAN
When the Civil war ended. the little
town of Pulaski, Tenn, welcomed home
a band Of young men who, though they
were veterans of hard-fought fields,
were for the most part no older than
the mass Of college students, says Will
liam CARROT Brown in the May Allan
tic. In the general poverty, the ex-
haustion, the lack Of heart, naturally
prevalent throughout the beaten South,
young men had more leisure than was
good for them. A Southern country
town, even in the halcyon days before
the war, was not particularly lively
place, and Pulaski in 1866 was doubt
less rather tame to fellows who had
seen Pickett charge at Gettysburg, or
galloped over the country with Nor
gan and Wheeler. A group Of them, as
sembled in a law office one evening in
May, 1866, were discussing ways and
means of having livelier time. Some
one suggested a club or society. An or
ganization with no very definite aims
was effected, and at second meeting,
a week later, names were proposed and
discussed. Someone pronounced the
Greek word Kuklos, meaning circle
From Kukos to Ku KluX was an easy
transition-whoever consults glossary
of college boys slang will not find 1t
strange-and Klan followed Ku klux
as naturally as "dumpty' follows
"humpty." That the name meant moth
ing whatever was a recommendation,
and one can fancy what sort Of bandi-
mage would have followed the sugges
tion that in six years a committee Of
congress would devote thirteen volumes
to the history of the movement that
began in a Pulaski law office and mi
grated later to a deserted and half
ruined house on the outskirts of the
village.

The wagon wheel struck the rock and
tilted the wagon, throwing Mr.. Self
and the chair out with the result as
above stated. Mr.. Self was in town
yesterday with his arm In sling. 1t
we'll be several weeks before he will
be able to use 1t again. He has the
sympathy Of a host Of friends in his
misfortune. Next Saturday week
Senator John l.. McLaurin Will be a
visitor to Gaffney, and as such Will be
the guest of Cherokee county. 1t Is
only proper that he should be shown
that respect and attention due to his
position. Leaving out the fact that 1t
is Senator McLaurn. we will say that
one OF South Carollna's representatives
in the senate OF the United States Is to
be with us on that day, and we must
pay him the respect due senator.
With this idea In view II appears that
there should be some action taken to
entertain the gentleman, therefore,
The Ledger suggests that a meeting of
the citizens pe held tomorrow at ii

ways and means to entertain the SEN
ator.

THREE GOOD JOKES.

w. s. Witham, a well-known Allan
ia banker, got off the following good
ones recently at an insurance banquet:
Now, George Washington was dis
qualified as life insurance agent.
Don't misunderstood me, please. I
mean that George could not get his
own consent to take ten hours pay
for two hours work. George, like a
preacher friend Of mine, always acted
from conscientious and not personal
motives. This preacher friend was get
ting $4,000 and had call to another
church at $4,000. Three weeks after
the call was made a deacon Of the new
church was passing the parsonage and
saw the little son of the preacher.
Said the deacon:
"Is your father going to accept that
call to our new church,
"I don't know, SIR cried the boy
He is still praying over it; but ma has
all the things packed
persistence and push may be fault
in some people: but in the insurance
agent it is charming quality, re-
strained by that modesty peculiar to
the man.
"I went into a bird store to buy
pet for my wife. After looking around
the man showed me into room where
there were a dozen parrots, all sizes,
colors and nationalities. I pointed to
one, and asked the man to send Hon
esty' down to my house. He said he
would do so at once; but asked me why
I called the parrot Honestly" Be-
cause said my friend, he is the best

The story is told of a lawyer and an
insurance agent seeking to enter heaV-
en-. The doorkeeper told them they
must ascend the long stairs, taking
with them some chalk with which to
mark each step, and when they had
climbed as many steps as they had
committed sins they might enter.

YER had chalked 10000 steps he sat
