STORY OF THE Ku KLUx KHAN

In the next issue Of THE ENQUIRER
we will publish a short sketch OF the
origin and object Of the Ku Klux Klan
by Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr. The arti-
Gle will fill something over four COL
umns and will include about four thou
sand words.
According to Mr.. Dixon the Ku KluH
organization had Its origin In ZEN
nessee, first a college fraternity, with
pranks, and afterward under the lead
of General Nathan B. Forrest, the IA
nous Confederate cavalryman, 1t per-
meated the entire south.
The necessity Of the Klan was justi-
fed by the existence Of the Union
League organization. The Union Lea
que had its inception with northern
abolitionists who sought to put SOUTH
ern slaves over their former masters
and they thought that this end could
best be accomplished by means OF ar
oath bound secret organization, when
the influence of the league began to
make itself apparent In impudence and
outrage on the part Of the negroes, the
Ku Klux came into existence as an
offset.
In it's inception, the Klan had nc
idea of bloodshed. It sought to ac-
complish it's end by moral force alone
It was believed that the negroes could
be frightened into good behavior. Al
ter the carpet -baggers and scalaWags
had been overcome to a large extern
in most Of the states, General Forrest
In 1870 issued an order disbanding the
Ku Klux organization.
While there had been some violence
during the first three years after the
organization came into being, 1t was
not until after the disbanding order
had been promulgated that the era OF
outrage reached its height. Then, the
country having been thrown into q
state of decentralization as the result
of the operations Of the Union
League, and Of exaggerated ru-
mors as to the Ku Klux escapades,
men who had originally operated under
the sanction of the duly accredited
leaders of the order continued to oper-
ate on their own responsibility, and
desperadoes of all kinds took advan-
tage of the demoralization OF the
times to perpetrate alleged ku klux
ou:rages in furtherance Of their own
vicious ends
The story represents that the Ku
Klux accomplished much good In the
beginning: but the men who originated
the organization had more trouble In
the end to put a stop to their irrespon-
sible imitators than they had In break
ing up the Union Leagues. and intiml-
dating white scalawags.
AS far as 1t goes Mr.. Dixon's story
is no doubt a correct outline OF the
career Of the Ku Klux Klan, and we
are quite sure that many Of our
readers will get some very interesting
instruction from the sketch.

- Carthage. N. c., dispatch of oc-
tober 10 to Charlotte Observer: The
Great Van Amburg show exhibited in
Carthage Tuesday. It has a big
name, but 1t is a little .one-ring circus
with a great retinue Of takers, gamb-
lers and grafters. Carthage is an
ideal point to gather a circus crowd.
The bill posters for this show thor
oughly covered this section a couple
of weeks ago and the returns in the
shape Of people here yesterday were
all that the most enthusiastic circus
owner could ask for. Between 1000
and 1000 people were here. most Of
them had their pockets we'll filled
with money: a great many Of them
went away with their pockets COM
pletely empty. Some were fieeced
for SO. some for IS, some for $40,
some for $40 and from that on up to
$140.

reduction Of acreage was from IL to
20 per cent. Cotton Is early, and has
been rapidly picked and sold. The
cost of picking, ginning, etc, Is the
same as In previous years. The farm
ers are in good condition as a whole,
and with the assistance Of the banks
and the merchants can easily hold the
bulk of the balance to be sold. The
disposition of the farmers Is to hold

practically the same blocks are made
right here in Roswell by the Hondo

a number of the incest buildings in
town are made of this material.

ment was sent for, and after the
major part of the fuel in the building
had been consumed, the embers were
extinguished. The stone was not in
jured in the least and a noticeable
feature was that outside the stone
building the heat could not be felt.
This went to show that the stone
does not conduct heat and thus makes
a fre-proof building material. Build
ings of this kind get reduced insu-
rance rate in Middle and Eastern
states, because there Is less risk
than in brick buildings.
