Thomas Dixon's New
Novel.
"The Traitor" Third Volume of the
Leopard Spots Clansman Series
of Southern Novels.

Charlotte Observer.
The publishers have announced
the appearance Of Thomas DixOn's
new novel, "The Traitor" which is
volume third of the Leopard Spots
Clansman series. Considerable inter-
cts centers about it, for it tells of the
breaking up OF the ku-klux-klan and
the birth of the new South. 1t is the
third of the triology of stories deal
inc with the South after the war.
1.-The TraitOr,'' writes Mr.. Dixon
in his preface, is the third volume of
the Leopard Spots-Clansman series
of Southern novels.
"The Clansmnn ended with the pO-
litical triumph of the 'Ku-Klux-Klan'
or Invisible Empire
"The Traitor opens with the order
of dissolution by General Forest, the
cOmmanderin-chief, after the cleo
tiOns of 1860 and treats of the per-
iod of the klan's degeneracy into the
fierce neighborhoOd feuds which dis
graced the piedmont section OF the
South.
"The race problem is not discussed
in this book except incidentally as a
motive in the deadly struggle OF loyal
and scalawag white leaders for the
mastery of Southern life. 1t is story
Of love and hate, heroism and treach-
err among my own people in the
days that tried men s souls"
The story is dedicated to the men
of the South who suffered exile, i'm
prisonment and death for the daring
service they rendered our country as
citizens of The Invisible Empire
The negroes are ''pining Roose-
Welt" The problem deepens and
broadens Turner and others OF like
kind are Sowing the wind to reap

when all negroes should be excluded
from the army and navy and all

 Speaking of Jackson's work among the slaves, pr. Jones said that he was specially concerned in a certain Sunday school which proved a training -schooi for negro preachers. The work of that school went abroad in the land. and no more sincere mourners grieved for him than those slaves and ex-slaves! When 1t became known to those negroes that the white people were discussing the possibility of e monument to Jackson's memory. they did not wait for preiim inarIes. but promptly took up a colIec- ton of $27.60, and taking It to prom Inent citizen of Lexington Va. were the first to subscribe to a monument to Jackson--and to the love. conhdcnce and respect that existed between the good whites and the good blacks Of the old South!

Finally, scheming politicians-in- vincible in peace and invisible in war took advantage of the unfortunate state of affairs. adopted slavery as their slogan and a vehicle for their selfish ends. MT. Lunt of Massacha- setts says. 'selfseeking and ambitious demagogues. the poets of republics, disturbed the equilibrium, and were able at length to plunge the country into that worst of all public calami- ties-civil war. The question or morals had ass little as possible to do with the result. Philosophy might have sighed. fanaticism have howled for centuries in vain. but for the hope of office and the desire of public plum der on the part of men. who were neither phiIanthropists nor fanatics. Thus slavery was the occasion not the cause of the revolt. Slavery was the Souths calamity and not her .crine!'
 Speaking of the Confederate soldier, Lee said. 'I care not what some may think of the Confederate as an in- dividual, put his cap on his head. but ton his old grey jacket around him, put his musket on his shoulder, place him fin the war-wc and weather beaten ranks of his fallen country. and see how he scars above the rest of man kind: how grandly he enters the awful realm of war. in which he has become A denizen--unfolding its mysteries and Interpreting It's strategies. permitting the military genius of the world to gaze. an humble observed.

 The South Is not disturbed that people know so much about her, but what wounds and offends her is that they know so much about her that is not so! She still has problems to solve and burdens grievous to be borne. She calls on the nation and the world to respect her burden. and to add to 1t, and to leave her alone while she bears those burdens which she alone can bear and solves those problems which she alone can solve.

The whole Is sur mounted by carved figure represent ing Miss Sansom at the time of her he- roic exploit.

Colonel Moses Cliff of Chattanooga, an officer on General Forests stan was orator of the oc- casion. Mayor Dunlap made a cordial address of welcome on behalf of the city.

Garden Notes.

Very. little hand-hoeing is necessary
in a well-managed farmers garden.
The whole garden should not be
planted in one day, because the tent
perature requirements of the various
crops are quite different.
= Successive planting of the same va
riety OF corn, or peas, or radishes, may
be made if that method of Tightening
the season is adopted
If this can be applied in the fall and
plowed under, the land can ordinarily
be fitted for the early planting by
simply discing, narrowing and plank
ing.
If a wheel hoe is run close to- the
VOWS as soon as the plants appear
above the ground, and this treatment
is repeated at frequent intervals, the
labor of handwriting will be greatly
reduced.
Some crops, like radishes, lettuce
and peas grow best in the cool
weather of spring.. and are uninjured
by frost; while others, like melons,
tomatoes and beans, require a much
, higher temperature and are easily
killed by frost.
