noble, true-hearted men met within the picket lines of SC. poo hostile troops and in the ruins of an old homestead discussed and adopted the ritual of the Invisible Empire.
 This Klan was a band of shrouded. ghost-iike horsemcn. Both horse and horsemen were disguised in long, white, flowing robes. over 100000 disguises were. made fer horse and man by the women of the South, and never a se- cret escaped their lips. The work of the members of the Kan was done at night They would find evidence conclusive against their victims. cap ture and. bring them to their meeting places. and whip or execute them in the dead of night. They disarmed ev- cry negro in the South. The effects of this mystic band of horsemen, with their regalia. and swift, silent metinR out of punishment upon the guilty. were magical. Every negro In the South feared them, and thousands of terror-stricken- people looked to them alone for safety. All these oath-bound organizations. composed of misguided negroes and white political pirates and adventurers were destroyed
 'The Ku KInx KIan rescued the South from their grasp, restored white su- premacy and saved the white mans civilization. The negroes being sub dued. the citizens began to adjust themselves to the new conditions. By degrees the economic and civil condi- tions began to readJust themselves. and once more the South was ruled by its own citizens. Today we have a new and glorious South, which has grown out of chaos, and stands unchalIenged as the most resourcefui portion of our great country. It Is destined to he the richest the most prosperous, and most powerful section of the United States"

MAY BE COFFEE
That Causes All the Trouble.

When the house Is afre, it's like a body when disease begins to show It's no time to talk but time to act-delay is dangerous--remove the cause of the trouble at once.
 For number of years" says a Kan- sas lady, T felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet, I was so fond of it l could not give 1t up. I paltered with my appetite and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last l got so bad that l made up my mind I must either quit the use of cof- fee or die.
 Everything I ate distressed me and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart fre- quently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone--my heart seemed so smothered and weak in it's action that I feared it would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheu. matIsm.
 Two years ago stopped using the coffee and began to use Postun. and from the very first I began to improve It worked a miracle, Now I can eat anything and digest 1t without trou- ble. l sleep like baby, and my heart beats full strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and nor maj. and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person. and 1t Is all due to quitting coffee and using Pos- tuTn, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugginE with coffee % There's a Reason. Read the little book, 'The Road to Melville" in pkgs.

IRON AND STEEL REVIEW

Birmingham. Oct. 10.-(Special)--A runaway pig iron market is imminent In Alabama. There are indications that this condition Is likely to be on in full force bsf0ra lang despite the fact that the metal manufacturers do not appreciate runaway market at any period and believe in Q steady coli dition.
 No. foundry iron which less than a week ago was seeking a $15 per ton level is now passing that price and some small sales are on the books for delivery during the last part of the year and during the first half of the coming year.
 It is announced that. soms Of the interests in this section are sounding out the $15.5a per ton rate and that six months of thu coming year, have been founL With runaway market there Is no telling what the price may be, SIG being looked for before the immediate delivery or spot iron in this district went up to $25 and. even bet. ter per ton. There was not much iron to be had even at the high price
 Three companies are out of the mar. ket here now but the statement is made that none of their probable make for the, first half of the coming year has been booked, the reasons for that the prices would reward them for decltutng to sell promiscuously. It is still admitted that iron sold at prices that prevailed two months ago, something like three and three dollars and fifty cents under the present quo tations. is being delivered right and will through the palanCe of the year. There are some deliveries be- ing made however. at new prices Every body who fs manufacturing pig iron can sell the product # they want to at profitable price.
 The make is being watched close | ly. the largest possible amount Of iron being worked for. The Sloss- sheffield Steel and Iroa company with six out of seven furnaces m opera ton expects to produce at least 36.0 0Oe tons of iron during the month or Oc- tober, the largest output TOT one month in over two years for this comnany Other iron conlpa nIes. are looking for record outputs during the inonth. II Is figured that there will be a larger production In October than Tor s1ly one month since the mfdsIfe Of 1907 the depression. it will be remempered setting in during the month ot oct', Der. 1907. All furnaces in blast. and there are thirty Of them aa present are doing exceptionally we'll Every attention Is being given to the Iron production. There Is no chance for any accumulation for while yet The railroads are being called upon to make provision fiat there be nc car shortage either in handling the | Iron after its make or in handling the | raw material to produce iron Empty I cars are being brought to the indus trial section Of Alabama right along and so far no trouble to amount to

MIR. ODOM'S MACHINE
MAN HAS. INVENTED AE-
 ROPLANE.
Native of Montgomery, County Ia Piaa- ming to Give. ant Exhibftions of Aytati0m in BiR~e
 mlnghaua.

Birmingham, Oct. 10.-(Speeiai. )-- E. T. Odom. the Birmingham piano tuner, who has invented and built an aeroplane-helicopter is ready to make the trial flight with his machine, which Is now in the areo shed at the fair grounds.
 It Is known that Mir. odom had planned secret trial at daybreak Saturday morning. but necessity of testing his driving chain caused him to postpone the event. He will make the first flight either Sunday morning early or Sunday afternoon Just at dusk.
 Odom's machine has been inspected by newspaper men. who are unanimous in the opinion that the machine will fly. Its general lines are similar to the Wright machine. but in detail there are striking differences. The principal feature of difference is in the heiicop- ter attachment, enormous screw-like fans, one above and one below the machine, which are intended to raise the aeroplane directly from the ground, doing away with the starting appa- ratus. In preparing this apparatus Mir. Odom made a, special trip to Chatta- nooga to inspect a helicopter built by an inventor of that city.
 MT. Odom was born at Pine Level. @ few miles west of Montgomery, in 1865. He spent a good part of his early life in Montgomery, later trying his fortunes in Gadsden, Anniston and Bir- mingham.i From 1901 to 1907 he was in Texas Almost ever since his re- turn he has been at work on his afr ship, and the past summer. has been given over almost entirely te' this oc- cupafion.
 i The machine, costing some S50oos win carry nps Mir. Odorn's entire for tuhe. Should 1t prove his claim. how ever. neither money nor fame will be 9acikingF for he will b ecome the lead ing figure fin the State. He has wife. formerly of Dadeville and three children, James, 1e, Susie 10. and El- bert T.. IT.

Then he was stranded at Leslie. Ga. His illness bore down on him. but rather than ask for charity, he pfod- ded, along with feeble attempt at work. A selicitous Baptist minister at the little. Georgia town took him in charge and concluded that the mans illness justified the care of a hospital.

 He was taken to the hospital in the patrol wagon.
