Town Engineer to Be Appointed

own engineer 10 De AppOlnIcO-
 At the regular meeting of the town council this week among the different items of business to be brought before the meeting was that of the appointment of a town engi- neer. The office, which has for some time been vacant, is now considered necessary on account of the numer- ous improvements which are contem- plated for the town. Although no ap- pointment was made at the meeting the names of two civil engineers were considered, and the appointment of one of these to the office will prob ably be made in short time. Out side of taking up the matter of town improvements in the near fu- ture no further action was taken in the matter, but it is understood that under the existing law, discret- ionary power is vested in the council for the carrying on of the work. In all probability preliminary steps will be taken shortly for the improve ments contemplated.

Morenci Wins the Sunday Game "a Ninth-Our lnvincible Charlie FallI Down When Most Needed.

In hard fought contest on th& Morenci diamond last Sunday No. renci broke away from her jinx and walked away with the game in thA ninth inning, the final score standinS 3 to s. The game was played beI fore good sized crowd which 6iS| some tall roofing for the boys and this possibly put renewed ginger frI the players and encouraged them rcI do their 'bset. At any rate the gams| was one of the fastest and most inter1 esting played between the rivSl| teams this season, and from now cal Morenci promises to keep the gamss| more even after having broken thsl ice
 That Morenci deserves much credit for the winning run will be under stood from the fact that the score in the last half of the ninth stood S-S with two men out, and it was at this stage that the Hill City boys got in their fast work and took the game away from Fats Frolicsome Found lings. Porri, of Morenci, made neat catch of a fly ball, robbinz Campbell of nice hit. Cramer. ot Clifton, also made a nice running catch in right field, on an almost i'm possible chance. From all indieat- ions Shanty Mckenzie became scared and was afraid the New York Tanks would grab him:
 The games between the rival teams now stand, Morenci won l lost 6. Clit> ton, won 6, lost 1. The Clifton boys are mourning the fact that Our Char lie failed to come through. and like mighty Casey, he struck out with men on second and third in the ninth when one run would have won the game for the Cliff Dwellers.
 The teams will again cross bats on the Clifton grounds next Sunday afternoon at 3:S0 at which time the boys want to see the grand stand taxed to capacity.
 Following is the score of last Sun days game:

The order succeeded in it's
purpose. The midnight raids
of men, thus clad, who admin
stored whippines or other pun
ishment, had the effect intend
ed and the ''Ku Klux" became
a terror to all negroes, keeping
them, either from exercising
their political rights or else
causing them to act with their
prosecutors.
The order, however. outran
it's original purpose and, where
whippings did not accomplish
the desired end, as with the
northern whites that had gone
south and with the holder neg
ros, murder was freely resorted
to-.
The disorders grew and in
March 1871, a congressional in
vestigating committee was ap-
pointed to look into the matter
and to not fail to take any dras-
tic means of dealing with the
offenders, being backed up by
both naval and military forces
to do so.
In the same month President
Grant, in a message to con-
gress asked for legislation to
enable the restoration of order
in the south. as neither life nor
property were there secure, and
as even the transportation of
the mails and the collection of
the revenues were interfered
with, The Ku Klux, or Force
Bill was promptly passed.
An attempt to renew it fail
ed in 1872. In October, 1871,
President Grant issued two
proclamations, the first order
ing certain associations in
South Carolina to surrender
their arms and DISCUSSES with
in five days; the second, at the
expiration of the five days, sus-
pending the writ of habeas cor
pus. Many arrests and con-
victions followed. The associa-
ton was crushed within four
months.

it might be we'll here to give a
brief account of this scarlet

The object of these Clans
men, history tells us, was the
suppression of the negro as a
factor III politics; it's means,
terrorization, ending in many
cases in murder. It's origin
is unknown, but it is supposed
to have sprung up about 1867
from local associations all hav-
ing the same end in view. Such
information as we have in re-
gard to it is founded on the
copy of it's constitution, pre-
script as it was termed and on
a congressional Investigation
made in 1871.
In this p rescript' the
name of the association is
never mentioned, two aste-
risks being inserted instead.
Their local lodges were called
dens: the master, cyclops; the
members, ghouls. A county
was a province, governed by a
grand giant and four COLLINS. A
congressional district was a
dominion, governed by a grand
Titan and six furies. A state
was a realm, governed by a
grand dragon and eight hydras.
The whole country was the
empire, governed by a grand
wizard and ten genii.

field with a red border, their
mysteries were never to be
