Origin OF the Ku Kluxa

Mr.. T. Larry CAN'T, the sage Of In.
man, believes that the Ku Klux Khan
had mission to perform and that { he
organization was Of such service to
the South in stamping out lawlessness
and preserving the ,innocent from pun
ishment, as to merit the erection Of O
masked statue on horseback. He
proposes that the monument be built
in Union, 8. O., where he says the
first ku Klux Klan was organized in
South Carolina, which may or may not
be true. A citizen of Union ,ode all
the way on horseback to Anderson
with 8 message from the "Grand Cy-
clops, whose home was near Lime.
stone Springs, and was gallant OIL
Ger in Jenkins brigade. For good
and sufficient reasons the Ku Klux
was not organized in Anderson county.
but there were many hearty sym
pathizers with the purposes OF pro-
teoting the weak and Furnishing the
criminals, who were committing theft
and arson in various sections of the
State.
After the Ku Klux trials in Colum-
bia, Mr. Daniel II. Chamberlain asked
a,gentleman who was then residing in
Anderson what he thought of the Ku
Klux as q political Organization, and
the reply was that the Klans ought to
be rallied on both sides OF Broad
river, marched down to Columbia, and
formed around the capitol when the
legislature was in session., capturing
all the white and colored leaders, in
oluding the officials in the State house
and hanging them from the windows
Of that building. Mr.. Chamberlain n
remarked with his usual salmness that
such course would have 4 basis of
merit on which to gain the approval Of
the country, although he was then at
torney general Of the State.-Green-
vile Mountaineer.
