Aims and objects Of the Invisible
Enpire Of the Ku KluX Klan were eX-
plained to several local men who had
been invited to meet a Klan organizer
in the Woodman Hall in. YoYlville, last
Thursday evening. No Aattempt WS.s
made to organize local Klan at the
meeting and it was stated yesterday
that very little enthusiasm was mani
tested. The presence Of the organizer
here Thursday marked the coming or
the third representative of the order
TO Yorlkyille, within the past SIN
months to round up a local KAN. Al.
though YOrkYille was the hot-bed ct
XII KluXism in 1862 and seTeral
local people achieved national and m
tcrnational notoriety because or thclr
connection with the original Kan, the
reneral sentiment now tappears 10 DC
that there is no need for Kan and
that it is in fact the best policy TO let
the dead past bury its dead. SeVerai
citizens who have been approached by
the three organizers sent here from
national headquarters in Atlanta, WIN
ic the past six months have refused 10
attend meetings or to allo" !neli
names to be connected with the Or
ganization in any way. Whlie tHere
is possibility that local Kan or the
new ordel. may be established III York
vile. there is little probability. i'll the
opinion of, some VINO are said tc DC
we'll informed 1t is understood That
a Kan has been organized in ROCK
Hill, and another in Gastonia.
