s'Comer was physically unfit to make a speech last night, ,"--Dr. Rhodes In The Birmingham News.
 Physically unfit to rnake a speech, indeed. He was and is physically un- fit not to make a speenh. He cannot help making speech He would be sick if he desisted a day. We have reason to know that, year ago his friends begged him to hold up on his oratory. There was an intimation that the matter of his single oration would wear in time on his hearers and indeed. weary any unsuspectins per- sons who might come out to the hust- ings. Did 1t stop him? Why, no. Conner speaks from pure vanity. He loves to hear himself in one of his great orations. His words are as mu- sic of the spheres--to Conner.
 We are told tnst he has been hunt ing for a place to talk and an audi ence all his fife. He would not fore go the opportunity of making as many as two great appearances. for the wsrofe offfce of Governor. Provide him wiKh the opportunity freduently, and he would not have the Governors off, fee. Freight rates? Why freight rates are nothing to him but an oppor- tunfty to hear blessed flow of lam gua;ge from his own eloquent lips.
 And Dr. Rhodes says that he was physically unfit when Cunningham dis posed of him at Selmal He never was physically unfit. and he never will be. His legs may get tired. his head may go wrong. or his fingers get mixed up, but his language will be there for the boys, and his personal pres ence will be there for the boys to gaze upon and applaud.

THE KU KLUx KHAN.

Some More Interesting History On the
 Subject.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 Dear Sir: I have just read with much interest in The Advertiser or June 12. an account by Mir. w. T. Sheehan of an early Ku Klux organiza- tion at Tuskegee, Alabama. Ihete ought to be many similar papers Wrlt- ten on local history and not until nu- merous ones are written can we of later generation gain an adequate con ception of that troubled period alter the war. Moreover, such accounts basis of any general history of that time that may be written. The defects in the histories of the reconstruction period are due in large degree 10 the fact that the various authors are uh- able to get a sufficient acquaintance with local history. It is especially true that the Southern view or recon struction has not been adequately pre- sented by those who were participants in the history-making of that epoch; The carpetbagEers. however, nave put themselves fully on record, not oiIy !" the testimony given before the con. ttono gressional Investigating committees but also in books, magazine articles' etc. ,,.
 In the article referred to above, MT Sheehan incidentally calls into qHes- onts Ku Klux Iistory-"He has set the whole country wrong on reconstruc C. ton history-lal his fellows astray m Ku Klux histoty. He went wrong is telling of the Giigin Of the dr 1Toer did '-t its first work" Tie phrases quoted shoW that the principal criticism IS mace against MT. DiSon's statements luIe+ IT gard to origins Now Tn the ih.e ,aIse Of exact history I would like to make some comment upon both the cri'i0 and the criticised. s .Lo
 G5 As to ,ibixon's account of the origin of Ku Klux Klan-the ;,,s one In his magazine articles, not the curious imaginative account in his noVel-I submit that according to the testlnony the founders of the Ku kiuX hldll' Dixon is correct in essentials tnousn ,sI perhaps slightly astray as 10 @nIIoI @ details He says that the Klan prop CT began at Pulaski, Tennessee, as q social club of young men, ana sP5rSiata thence over pa5ts of the South' the is borne out by the testimony or tne founders of tht order, one of whom, Captain John C.
