LAURENS, S. C., Oct. "a, 1905.
THE XII KLUX AND THE CLANSMAN.

In the discussion of Tom Dixon's
"Clansman" it should not be forgotten
that the yardstick of the historian of
details ought not to be applied to what
claims to be a work of fiction founded
on fact. The actual number of persons
who were enlisted in the Ku Klux Khan
in South Carolina and precisely when
and where hat organization began and
ended are not necessarily pertinent to
the general claim that it was an engine
through which the white men of the
South were able to work to greater eff
criminal negro element. We do not pre-
tend to speak from our own knowledge
as to what took place in South Carolina
in the late sixties and the early seven
ties, but we a conceive that the Sc
cret organization was valuable in help
ing the eX-Confederate soldiers to re-
gain the elbow ttouch-a thing which
might have been impossible in the open
and in the face of Federal garrisons.
In 1876 Gen. Wade Hampton con-
stantly urged peace and order and
moderation. This policy was absolutely
essential to victory and Gen. Hampton
was the only man who had the personal
record and equipment to carry it out
successfully. Had a rash man been at
the head of the Democrats in 1876 the
State would have been almost instantly
overwhelmed with another invasion of
Federal troops, but Gen. Hampton pos
sessed in isolation the wonderful power
to inspire the "Red Shirts" with bound
less confidene in his sincerity. In 1876
such a policy on the partof Gen. Hamp-
ton involved no difficulty because the
greater part of the violence which made
moderation at that time both possible
and expedient had already been done.
1t is we'll remembered that Laurens
was one of the pivotal counties in the
Hampton campaign, and the older citi-
zens know the dangerous and severe
work that vas necessary in that year,
bnt we believe that they will testify
that it would have been infinitely harder
had not the terrible affair of October
1870, locally remembered as "the riot, I"
occurred. After the riot the Federal
troops still made it possible for Repub-
licans to count in their candidates on
election days, but that affair made the
county habitable for white men and
women.
In other words we believe that the
long and pitiable series of bloody af.
''"ts in South Carolina, which
cost the lives of a nunnu.- 9 ....
and a few white men, was absolutely
essential as a preceding factor to the
Hampton triumph of 1876. Precisely
how far the Ku Klux Klan was instru.
mental in welding together the scattered
powers of the white South and in max.
ing them terribly invincible again, we
are not prepared to say, nor do we
think that it is a matter of special con.
sequence.

HERE ARE FOURTEEN REASONS
Why You Should Hole Your Cotton Pol
II Cents.

IL Cents.
Because, it is worth IL cents or morel
Because, it is bound to sell at much
higher figures!
Because, the man who makes the
cotton should help to make the price!
Because, trade is broad and strong,
and record-breaking as to textiles!
Because, the mills are making money
on basis of IL cents and IL cents for
cotton!
Because, the world needs every bale,
and will take it greedily at IL cents if
we hold for this figure!
Because, we are no longer slaves to
the North, but a free people, with our
banks full of money, and the merchants
and bankers at our backs!
Because, we live in a record-breaking
age, and the present cotton crop, which
has matured and opened unusually ear
ly, will be found to be very short, when
the worldwide and unprecedented de-
mand for cotton goods is considered!
Because, the farmer needs the
money, and deserves it more than the
Spectator!
Because, money don't buy as much
now as formerly!
Because, everything the farmer buys
has gone up in price, why not cotton?
Because, the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation has fixed the price for good cot
ton at IL cents, and this association is
fighting u battle, and has put millions
of dollars in the pockets of southern
people!
Because, we should be true to south
ern manhood and the southland!
Because, if we show the white feath-
er and sell, we will feel like kicking
ourselves out of sight, when cotton is
selling at IL cents to IL LIZ cents per
pound.
Stand pat for IL cents!

Pres. Orangeburg Cotton Association.

WHO WILL HELP?

In carrying out their program, which
is first, four per cent commissions at
all hazards and second, punish Lucas,
the Messrs. Milliken will need assist
ance.
They w only about one third of the
stock of Laurens Cotton Mills. To elect
a new board of directors and Dust Lucas
they must have about $50 shares add
tional to their own.
Where will they get them?
Only the Millikens have criticized
Lucas, so far as we know. They crit
icized him after they had lost the Oar
lington account.
AT the Lanrens Mills annual meeting,
May 10, the statement was made openly
and to the meeting by w. w. Ball that
no one was criticizing the management
of Laurens Mills. This was after the
injunction vas served but before any
body had withdrawn from the meeting.
Not a voice protested. Every man
present by his silence gave assent.
If Lucas is turned out of Laurens
Mills it will be because he has saved and
is saving to the stockholders about
$4,000 a year. This money is with
drawn from the pockets of the Mill
kens and put in the pockets of the
stockholders.
Who is going to help the Millikens
take it in future out of the pockets of
the stockholders and put it again into
the Milliken pockets?
Remember-the Millikens don't con-
troll the Laurens Mills.
Remember-that until the Millikens
were whipped out at Darlington and un-
til they began to buy Laurens stock at
5000 apparently every man in Laurens
wanted Lucas to run the mills.
No man in Laurens has yet, so far as
we know, expressed himself against
the Lucas management. No man at
the meeting on May 10 uttered aught
against his management; though the
challenge to it was made by one of Mr..
Lucas friends.
VIII the Millikens be enabled to pun
ish Lucas for saving money to the
small stockholders by Laurens stock
holders?
Is it possible? 1t hardly seems SO.
We shall see.
Last season the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION forced the price of cotton up
from z to 10 liz cents in the face of a
fourteen and a half million bale crop.
Why can't the minimum price as fixed
by the same Association be obtained
for the remainder of the present crop
which is admittedly much smaller than
last years production, even if greater
than the estimates?
In the event of a fire your cash would
be perfectly safe in the vaults of any
of the Banks here.

ton. As he had given splendid satis- faction in the short time he was press ed by his employers for an explana- tion. This he finally gave, as follows:
 T had only held ttis,pIace three days when well-known individual came to see me, and after pledging my honor to secrecy offered me a bribe of $1O,000 to do certain thing that would have been faithless to my trust I had him shown out of the office. The next day a representative of his raised the ten- dered bribe to $2o,O00. I refused in- dignantly. Several days later the offer was raised to $5O,000. and some time after it was increased to $75,0OO. Still I refused with scorn.
 Last week the well-known individ- ual himself again came to see me, and offered to make the bribe $10O,000 in cash and $f00, ,000 in stock, and I refused the offer and resigned.
 And why did you resign?" asked his former employers, gazing at him in admiration.
 "Gentlemen," said the man of unim- peachable honesty and sterling integ- rity, "my reputation is all have. There has never been 8 spot on my name, and bribery and graft and I have been strangers all my life. Such men, I resign because that last offer was simply near my price. ."-Washing ton Star.
