5000 Members In n. C.
There are at present perhaps, 5000
members of the Ku-Klux in North

thirty miles of Greensboro, and most
of whom as soon as they got in and
found out who was already in, kissed
their money good-by and quit.

there was no restriction whatever

Their reduced by 2 per cent last
month, according to a report made
public by the State industrial com

has been total decline In factory

per cent. or about 100000 workers.
Lack of orders is the outstanding
factor In the decrease In employ

against the wholesale admission of
thieves and bootleggers. and he was
summarily 'banished' without a trial,
and supposedly in disgrace, by the
organizer and without consulting me.
In another town the most notorious
criminal In the community got In by
paying for 1t, and when the decent
element protested 1 ordered that II
the man did not deny the facts his
money should be refunded and he
notified that his name would be
dropped from the rolls. This the or
ganizer refused to do, and kept him
In because he was bringing in 9th

About High Point.
THE sorest of all spots to me In
the business is with relation to High
Point, where I started the work and
with others equally interested built
up an organization of good citizens.
I'VE refused admission to the

organizer started a war on me In
which he lost, but which neverthe-

there appeared the awful anonymous
letter addressed to the Greensboro
Daily News. The same committee
that penned this letter had written
others. including the alleged threat
to themselves, some of which they
succeeded in getting published.
This last communication was so
utter lawless and disgraceful. that I
notified all concerned that I would
get out with a loud noise unless
the system back of the letter was
abolished. No action was taken, thus
leaving the letter with all its mis-
spelled words as the Official communi,
cation of the organization. It Is in
fact an exact keynote to the ku Klux

in the State where there is a good or.
ganization. there is even then no hope
Of ultimate good, without q State or
ganization to control it. There is in
these and other places nothing what
ever to prevent outrages against the
law in the name and under the dis

Is obviously impossible for High Point
to put an end to automobile thieving
in the community when a number Of

long to the order in Greensboro, and
to be sworn In fraternity and fellow

voIiva Adopts New System OF
Leases Carrying Manifold
Prohibitions.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-You've got to
wait at least another 1919 years to
eat an oyster stew II you live in Zion
City. And the non.bclievers there ara
talking of placing a jardinicre of pork
chops in the local museum.
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overscer OF
Zion, inaugurated a new system OF
leases yesterday. After this Zion
resident cannot lease any property
without Voliva's consent and all
leases will run for 1,07s years. The
new system was declared to be re-
newal OF his attack on religious or
CARNATIONS that have opened churches
in opposition to the Zion Cathedral.
The seventy-nine years 10 added to
cover the period during which tho
Lord In expected to como and take his
saints out of the world. At the end
of this period, according to Dowie's
teachings, they will be returned to
establish his rule throughout the
world for 1000 years.
The famous leases Of Alexander
Dowie, founder of Zion. will be
changed to prohibit the transfer of
property without the personal approx
al of Voliva, who issued dictum
against the following: Sale In Zion
of pork, lard or other products of
swine; erection or operation OF tho.
aters. opera motion pictures, circuses,
dance halls, secret societies. keeping
or sale OF intoxicants; keeping. sale
or manufacture of tobacco; operating
a drug store or sale of drugs; selling
or keeping of oysters or other food
pronounced unclean in chapter four
teen of Deuteronomy, or use of any
property as the residence or office OF
q physician or surgeon.
SO far. Northwestern trains are
stlll permitted to spray cinders on the
Zion City station, and a Zion citizen
may shave his neck II he likes 1t that

his trusty machine across the
Mason and Dixon line to Carlisle,

Philadelphia, changed their mind
and backtracked to Carlisle, where
they were married by the Rev.

SMALL BORE RIFLE { CONTEST COMES UP;

 Canada and Australia as well as England will engage the United States in competition for the Inter- national Smallbore rifle championship this T year. The United States team { will shoot it's scofes at Camp Perry, O., on Sunday, September 1S Eng land and Australia have shot and the scores have been transmitted to this tcountry The Canadian team will l shoot several days previons to the shooting at Camp Perry. but all the scores will be in possession of rep resentatiVes of every team so that they can be posted when the wear CTS of the shield finish.
 The team winning the match se- cures possession of the Dewar Trophy This was won by the United States in 1913 and has not left these shores since. With the class of small bore shooters We are developing in the United States it isn't likely that the cup will be taken away Last year and the year before, the only two years the small bore matches have been conducted in connection with the National Rifle Matches, England fell before the prowess of the United States shooters
 Twenty shooters will be chosen to represent the United States from the top scorers in the Smallbore Nation al Individual championship. The high 40 shooters in this competi- tion, which runs from September , to 15. will shoot an elimination con. test. the high 20 counting.
 All of the small bore competitions will be staged between September ] and 15 All of the matches that were shot last year are again on the pro gram and also many new ones. The range is located in a better position this year and this will mean many more shooters.
 Small bore rifle shooting is real sport It is something that appeals and we believe it is only a matter of a few years when the small bore rifle will be given preference over the 30 calibre rifle in match competi tion.
