"THE CLANSMAN''

People of Columbia and this county
will have the opportunity on Feb. 10.
Of witnessing production at the
Grand Opera House that necessarily
must appeal to them with peculiar
force. They will see the great pro
duction of Thomas Dixon, Jr., THE
Clansman," probably the best known
Southern play ever staged. The re-
ception which has been accorded this
remarkable life picture of the efforts
of that devoted and heroic band to
preserve Anglo Saxon civilization dur
ing the horrors of reconstruction has
been most cordial in all sections Of
the country. but particularly so in the
South, where the stirring scenes re-
produced in this production were wit
messed in real life.
To no section of the South will the
story of the Ku Klux Khan appeal with
more emphasis than this county. Just
South of here in the neighboring
county Of Giles the Khan was origina-
ted and the second organization at
fected was at Culleoka in this county.
There are number of veterans of
the organization in this section, among
them being the leading citizens. Not
very far from here too the Grand
of the organization, that
greatest of all cavalry leaders, Ma |
than Bedford Forrest, was born Gen.
Forrest first saw the light OF day in |

Third Solar Plexus For Organized
Working Men in Past Two
Weeks.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Stunning
If not demoralizing, was the blow de
livered to organized labor today from
the supreme court of the United
ASSates, when that tribunal announced
q decision that labor unions may be
punished under the Sherman anti
trust law for boycotting manufacture
ers of products in interstate commerce.
and fined a sum equivalent to three
times the amount of damage sus-
tanned. That the court was unani-
nous in its decision left no solace to
labor leaders The judgment of the
court is regarded as its most impor-
tant conclusion in all the contests be-
tween labor and capital.
Rendered just a week after the
opinion holding unconstitutional the
Erdman law, which sought to prevent
determinations against union men
employed by common carriers Of inter
state commerce, and just after the en-
ployers' liability law was declared I'M
constitutional, the effect on the labor
organizations of the country at once
elected the most anxious specula-
lions. Seemingly the only remedy for
labor organizations is the amendment
of the Sherman antitrust law
The question decided today was
brought before the court by DIETRICH !!
Lowe, hat manufacturer of Danbury, |
Conn. A demand was made upon |
Lowe by the United Hatters Of North |
America that he unionize his shops. |
A similar demand was made upon all
manufacturers of fur hats in the Uni
ted States, and out of the eighty-two
manufacturers seventy acceded to the
wishes OF the union. Lowe rebelled
and decided to fight the union to a
finish.
As result OF his refusal, boycott
was declared upon his establishment,
and upon representations by the Uni
ted Hatters' Union, the American
Federation Of Labor printed the name
of his manufacturer ON the 1--WE don't
