Gov. Beckett in a letter to the
press last Sunday denounced the
effort to form an organization to
be known as the Loyal Order of
Klansmen, of which man nam.
ed Texas Richie is the promoter.
The Order had large advertise
ments in the daily papers last
week inviting the public to join,
at $50 initiation fee and $18 year.
ly dues. The prospectus states
that one of the purposes is to de-
fend the women of the South,
and it also asserts that the Order
has a large tract of land in Rich
mond county on which it propos-
ed to build a model town, with
manufacturing plants, dairy,
dormitories etc as an orphanage
for children of its member.
In view of the fact that the
prospectus states that the Order
has land in this county the Post
Dispatch investigated and we
learn that the man Richie visit,
ed Rockingham at least three
times within the past month. He
endeavored to get the town of
Ellerbe and 7. c. Leak to donate
! a 5000 acre tract just above e.
lerbe, and he put up the plea
that the Gift of this land and es-
tablishment of such a colony by
him would accrue to the benefit
of Ellerbe and adjacent property
owners, and in exchange for the
land he would give the owners
certificates of stock in the Order.
However, he received scant en-
enlargement and needless to say
no one in Richmond county has
as yet given" him any land.

folly. South Carolina does not receive
any glory from the fame Of her
former governor. 1t will seem strange
to future generations that liquor was
sold legally in the United States un-
til this good week. England would
give much IL some of the eardier
pages might be torn from her history
and we all hope that Germany will
yet weep over the deeds OF recent
years.
1t is matter for thanksgiving that
we have had so few national evils
to bring shame upon us; yet even
one should be too many. The nation
al conscience is more sensitive than
formerly; the government is more
bent on setting things right among all
classes of men, and to give each a
fair show. Gigantic evils are not al
lowed to have their way as they once
had it; bad men in high places are
dishonored. the people having but lit
tie patience with them. Righteous
men are called to office; public criti-
cism and the law work Speedily these
days; the national mind has been
much purified during the war;. We are
unwilling to be vile in our own eyes,
and are determined more than ever to
be in practice what we have always
been in theory, God-fearing people.
1t will be with infinite satisfaction
that we look back on the noble deeds
Of our history and remember that we
lived for God and humanity rather
than for self. We shall be glad that
we sent back the indemnity money to
China after the Boxer uprising; that
we did not use Cuba for our own ad-
vantage, and that we gave a large
liberty to the islands of the Pacific.
1t will seem good to us that we re-
fused to make capital out Of the Mex
lean situation: and that we remem-
bered our agreement regarding Pana-
ma, and held "a scrap of paper to be
as the very law of God. And finally,
we will rejoice to the end that when
the weaker nations of the earth called
to us in their death-agony we swung
the mighty resources Of a great ma
ton to lift from them the oppression
of centuries.
Love for our native land is more
than to shout, and to claim that we
are the best Of them all; it is even
more than willingness to die for it.
Not many in a generation are called
upon to die for their land. 1t is OF
supreme importance that we would
live very earnestly for it. We may
best serve our country by doing well
the daily tasks of our calling, and by
lifting up high standards of personal
honor and community Righteousness.
Love for the country is seen where
father and mother rule we'll the house
hold and rear children who represent
the Hottest types of citizenship;
where earnest teachers mould the
young lives under their care; where
trade is conducted upon right princi-
pies, and men live in contentment and
peace with each other. With lives of
this sort, our Fatherland will be great
ly honored. - -'@

ENGINE HITS TRUCK
ELIAS BROWN AND JOHN FAX ES.
CAPE INJURY BY JUMPING
FROM TRUCK.

Jumping from the auto truck in
which they were riding just as switch
engine on the tracks was about to strike
the car at the Second avenue northeast
crossing, Elias Brown and John Zak of
this city escaped injury and possibly
death, Tuesday afternoon. The car was
hurled thirty-fve feet onto platform
in front Of the Minneapolis Brewing
company warehouse.
The accident occurred at about 1880
p. m. Mr.. Brown saw the engine ap-
preaching some distance away but be-
lieved that it was on the main track
and back of some cars. AS they reach
ed the crossing however, the engine ap-
peared on side track. Brown and Zak
Jumped and they had barely done SO
when the engine struck the truck
squarely in the middle and hurled it on
to the warehouse platform, the truck
landing right side up.
Remarkable as it may seem, the truck
was not greatly damaged. Mr.. Brown
drove it off the platform and back to
the garage under it's own power. The
tenders were smashed and there were a
few dents and small breaks. Several
cases Of pop were undamaged.

an act providing for the erection Of
highway guide posts and signs in towns,
villages and cities and imposing certain
duties on the commission Of highways
in relation thereto, making it unlawful
to destroy, deface or mutilate any such
guide post or sign and prescribing pen
alties for the violation, thereof.
Section l. Provides that every town
shall erect and maintain highway
guide posts and signs at such places
on the public roads therein as shall be
desirable for the direction of travellers
on such roads and every city and vii
lage shall erect at such places within
their respective corporate limits as
shall be designated by the commissioners

signs indicating the route through any

BOY ATTACKED BY BULL.

The young son of Frank Madison Of
Elmdale town narrowly escaped seri-
Gus injury and possibly death a few
days ago when he was attacked by a
young bull in the barnyard. The ami
NAL threw him into the air and when
he struck the ground the bull attacked
him and butted him. The boys father
happened to be near and he came to the
rescue, throwing stones at the bull and
driving him away from the boy For
tunately the animal was ,dehorned so
that the boy was not hurt and>he also
had presence Of mind to cling to the
animals head and thus probably saved
himself from serious injury.

in STORAGE
WHEN CONTAINED IN TANK OF
MOTOR CAR SAYS SUPREME
COURT.

A recent issue Of the the Spectator
contains the following:
An important decision relative to the
general practice of farmers keeping
their motor cars, trucks and engines in
their barns has just been announced by
the Kansas supreme court in the suit
Of Charles L. Morgan against the Ger
mania Fire and the Northwestern Ma
tional Insurance companies The lower
court was reversed and the insurance
companies were given the judgment.
Morgan carried two policies on his
barn on his farm. Both contained the
provision that no gasoline could be stor-
ed in the barn. He kept his motor car
in the barn, and tank of the car usual
ly contained from two to ten gallons OF
gasoline. The car was not in the barn
at the time of the fire which destroyed
it. Morgan maintained that the gaso-
line in the car was not in storage and
that the prohibition Of the insurance
policies was not being violated. The
insurance companies refused to pay the
claim for the loss on the grounds that
the prohibition in the policy against the
keeping of gasoline in the barn had
been violated.
The supreme court sustained Cne laI-
ter view. The decision is Of large i'm
portance to the insurancefcompanies and
to farmers generally. Comparatively
few farmers have separate garages for
their cars and most of them keep their
cars, trucks, tractors, and even gasoline
engines stored in the barns.
/. The decision definitely settles the
point that gasoline in the tank in a
motor car is gasoline in storage when
kept in a building covered by a policy
prohibiting the storing of gasoline in
that building. It may be necessary for
the companies to p pare new rural
property policy form to make certain
that the farmers do not violate the re-
quirements Of the policies and to call
their special attention to the fact that
they can not use barns for garages and
to collect the insurance in case Of fire
without paying the higher rates.
