Front Page Requests

sometimes a woman, and even the
young people are getting the habit.
It's always a good indication
when such a request Is made. 1t
means that the writer is interested
in his or her subject. 1t shows APP
probation of position in a news
paper and modest desire to accept
the best.
Sometimes, however, it might be
added, the choice is unwise. There
are news features which are eX-
pected on the front page and
there are others, particularly in the
Advertiser, that are not expected
on that page, but have their own
positions on other pages.
Some of these friends who make
these requests are some of our
towns very good housekeepers.
They would "have fit" if some
one left the dishpan in the living
room. They would have another
if they did not find the dishpan in
the kischen, where it belongs.
We in the print shops are little
bit the same way. We have a
page for display news, another for
locals, personals and church notes,
another for news of surrounding
communities, another for editorial
matters, and Others for general
matter.
Yes, indeed, now that we all
come to think Of it, we agree that
we don't want everything on the
front page, after all.-Advertiser.
The little fellow sat on the door
step crying bitterly. Passersby tried
to console him, but without avail.
Presently a sympathetic old lady
came along. "What's the matter,
little boy?" she asked.
Got my new pants covered with
dust, sobbed the boy.
''But they're clean now, DEAR"
continued the lady.

lad.
"Then why do you still cry,
child?!"
Coos mother wouldn't let me
take EN- off when she beat the
dust out.

'What'll you have, SIR" asked
the waiter:
"A 'hot grounder' and couple

potato and two chicken wings.

No; the doctor is going to make

The transport had entered New
York harbor. On board was one
lone colored soldier among the
homeward bound. AS the ship pass
ed the Statue of Liberty there was
absolute silence, when suddenly the
dusky doughboy broke the quiet by
remarking "Put your light down
oney, l'sc ho me-"
We call her saucy Sally,
Though she always is polite,
She romps and plays the Who'll,
day long
From morning until night.
Dark hair that hangs in ringlets
Brown eyes with light ashine,
With mischief in them brewing
For some young friends of mine
But even if this Sally
Looks saucy, jaunty, pert,

KU KLUX KHAN is

Savannah, July 2O.-Actuated by

souri, and other distant states. Sew
eral of the neighboring counties
around Chatham have organized
clans in the past few weeks and it
81 understood that others are to be
formed.
The manual conclave of the in
habitants of the invisible empire
which was held in Atlanta last May
stirred renewed interest in the
Klan and it's work. 1t was attended
by members of the khan from every
section of the country and since
that meeting Col. Simmons has re-

tanning membership in the klan and /
in organizing branches in other
cities.
One of these inquiries came from
a leading citizen in California who
sadi he had become convinced that !
the khan, because of the high princi-
pies upon which it was founded and
the purpose it aims to serve, should
be extended to California and the
Pacific coast states.
The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
which is a patriotic, ritualistic fra
,ternal order, is no hastily Jumped
up" affair, but has been in the max
ing for the last eighteen years, the
idea of perpetuating the principles
upon which the old Ku Klux Klan
was founded having originated in
the mind of Col. Simmons, who is
professor of Southern history at
Lanier University in Atlanta.
Col. Simmons dedicated his life
to this cause and for fourteen years
he thought, studied and worked to
prepare himself for launching this
great institution. In October, 1915,
he mentioned his ambition to some
friends among whom were three
men who were bona fide members
of the original khan when it dis
banded.
On the night of October 26,I Col.
Simmons met with those friends
and after he unfolded his plans all
those present-thirty-four in num-
ber-signed petition for
charter. On Thanksgiving night in
1915 the organizers of the khan as
.sembled on the top of Stone
Mountain, near Atlanta, and there
at midnight, under blazy-fiery
cross, they took the oath of allegi-
ance to the invisible empire,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
The charter was issued by the
state of Georgia, December 4, 1915
ard a special charter was granted
by the superior court of Fulton
county, July l, 1916.
Since the klan had among it's char
| er members three of the original
members of the old Ku Klux Klan it
wah granted all the rights and
privileges enjoyed by the original
organization which swept the car
pet-bagger and the scalawag from
the South in the dark days of the
reconstruction period following the
civil war, restored to the white peo-
pie of the South their rightful posi-
ton in the nation, brought order
out of chaos by SURPRISING the law
| ess element of both races and then,
having accomplished the immediate
purpose for which it was organized,
was quietly disbanded by order of
Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, who
was it's chief.
"While conditions today are not
the same as they were when the
original khan was organized" says
Col. Simmons, "the need for an
organization like the Ku Klux Klan
is just as pressing now as it ever
was.
cts purpose is to inculcate the
sacred principles and noble. ideals
of chivalry, the development of
character, the protection of the
home and the chastity of woman
hood, the exemplification of a pure
patriotism toward our glorious
country, the preservation of Am
erican ideals and the maintenance
of white supremacy.

pose to keep the same inviolate. No
