THE CLANSMAN.
Truth Stranger than Fiction Startling
Conditions out OF Which Grew the
ku kluN Khan.

On November 20, 1867, the
negroes of South Carolina were
allowed to vote on the same day
to entranchiso themselves and
dislranchise their former masters
of the race whose genius had
created the American Republic.
Social equality was boldly pro
claimed. Tho Commander of the
Carolinas issued from Charleston
a proclamation repeating the laws
oi.marrioge and promised bayonets
to protect blacks in intermarrying
with the whites. The negroes
obtained control of the entire ma
chinery of Government. Negroes
filled the office of lieutenant gov
ernor, state treasurer and Judge
of the Supreme Court. The leg
islature was composed of ninety
four negroes and twenty-three
white men. The speaker of the
house was n negro, the clerk
negro, the chaplain negro, the
doorkeeper and pages all negroes.
The governor, and ex-convict,
was n white scallawag, lower than
his black associates. Millions in
taxes were voted and stolen. In
collecting these taxes as many as
1900 homes were executed and
sold by the sheriff in single
county. A negro militia of $4,000
men paraded over the state, and
no white man was allowed to
bear arms.
The leader of the government
in congress, man of daring
genius, was pressing a measure
blouse Bill No. 29) to confscate
the land of the south and give it
to the negroes. On the promise
OF this land, a secret oath-bound
league was formed, into which
the negroes were all gathered,
taught, drilled and armed.
Out of these condition grew The
KU KLUX KHAN. In 1870
the KHAN overturned the negro
regime in six states and immedi-
ately dissolved its organization.
irresponsible youngsters in some
sections reformed the local groups
and committed many excesses.
The men who led the original
KHAN to its triumph, were forced
to aid in stamping out its imita-
tors.
The Argus under date of March
22, published full page article
from Rev. Thomas Dixon Jr on
the Ku Klux Klan, telling all
about it's origin and end. Out
of the events Of that period Dixon
has written a famous book called
"The Clansman," which deals
particularly with the Ku Klux
Klan. Before that he had publ
shed another.famous book called
"The Leopard's Spots" dealing
with the Reconstruction period of
the South Out of these two
books a drama called "The
Clansman" has been written and
is being toured under the manage
ment Of George H. Brennan
The play was given at Swishers
Theatre in Morgantown last
Thursday night to packed
house and the largest crowd they
have had since the opening of
the new theatre. II was also the
most approciativo and enthusias-
tic high class audience we ever
saw.

sEEF TEA REQUIRES Cars.
Time Must Be Given for Extraction Of
Nutriment.

Every home nurse is supposed to
know how to make beef tea, yet it is
surprising how many failures are to be
recorded in this apparently simple
operation. The fault generally is that
too little time Is given 70 the cooking.
The point to be borne in mind is that,
as far as possible, the whole Of the
nutriment Of the beef is to be extract
ed. The best method of doing this is
to proceed as follows: Remove all the
fat and skin from one pound of fresh
gravy beef, cut it up in small pieces
and put it into stone jar with pint
Of water and a little salt Replace the
lid Of the jar and let it stand all night.
The next morning place the jar in
saucepan of boiling water and let it
simmer gently, but never boil, for five
hours. Strain the fluid through a col
ander, but instead of throwing away
the residue of the meat pound it in
mortar into pulp, pass 1t through
wire sieve and add it to the beef tea.
says Woman's Life. Beef tea made
according to this recipe contains all
the fiber and albumen of the meat, and
is therefore much more nutritious than
beef tea in the form it is usually given.
