 In the chapter room of the Florencs Daughters of the Confederacy. among the many interesting mementoes oi the Lost Cause. is & corner set apari for an entire outfit of Ku Klux klan costume, mask, banner. and placardi of the officers the objects and the op- erations of that now historic organi- zatiou The large room is handsomely finish -d, profusely decorated with the various flags of the Confederacy and pictures of famous generals and scenes of the troublouB times of the long ago but no feature of the decorations Is sc suggestive as that devoted to this se- cret organization. whose motives were so misunderstood whom 1t had its be- ing, and of which so little is even now definitely known. In this department of the "archlves' of the Daughters tho loose gown, the mask, the flowing beard. the high peaked Gap of tho Kiansman, make a fearful picture. ant its presence on a niBht-rider in th' | disordered times forty years ago miG" well have suggested terrible things tt evil doers, whose rank outrages set defiance the laws of the land and rec ognized only the will of ap-follow CTS whose chief object was to rob helpless people.
