man had displayed the purse before
the two men with the big black mus

the purse but he dropped 1t on the

The Oath Of tEle Fourth Degree,
KniGzltS of Columbus.

THE following card signed by VICTOR D.
DORR, and a dozen other prominent
papists appeared in The Chronicle of
Augusta Georgia, on August Goth, 1912, the
day before the primary election of State
house officers and of Congressional Repre-
sentatlyes.
See my comments on the card, coming after
it.
The Augusta Chronicle, Tuesday, August 20, 1912.
Communicated
A FINAL STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICERS
OF THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Editor Chronicle:
In this mornings issue of The Chronicle
appears a rambling "reply'' to the communication
published in Sundays papers by the local officers
of the Knights Of Columbus.
Surely brilliant lawyer'-and there is no
question that this reputation well-de-
served-wouId realize the fact that the burden
of proof must always rest upon the slanderer
And yet the only proof of a vile SANDER upon
respectable body of citizens is that he copied
the attack from booklet published in Washing
ton and used it in good faith"
Then he invites us to publish the "oath' taken
by the Fourth Degree members of the Knights of
Columbus, fully realizing the folly of expecting
the publication Of any portion Of the degree work
of an organization.
However, the supreme director of the Knights
Of Columbus, whose name is published below, will
submit the pledges of the Fourth Degree to the
scrutiny Of committee composed Of Rev. How
ard Cree, Rev. H. M. DuBOse and Rev. Ashby
JONES' and if these gentlemen find anything what
in the said pledges to justify the published
SANDER referred to in former communication,
we stand ready to fulfill our pledge to pay
thousand dollars to any designated charity.
In respect to the second invitation to explain
the existence of secret military organization"
beg to state that we know of such organi-
cation. If he has reference to the Fourth Degree
of the Knights of Columbus would state that
the fighting uniform, and only equipment of this
body consists of a full dress suit, silk hat, and
little 'tin sword, such as is carried by the
knights Templar, Knights of Pythias and kindred
organizations AS for the existence of "bayonets
and rifles we scarcely deem it necessary to deny
any such absurdity. We also, absolutely and
unequivocaly deny that any Knights of Columbus
is oathbound to obey any power person, for
eign or otherwise, to the detriment of his own
country.
language the real purpose of the Knights of
Columbus, beg to trespass the space of
