STATE LICENSES
MANY MACHINES

Figures compiled by the state h gh-
way department, motor vehicle IL
ense division, show tha. through
september a total of 82,177 automo-
biles, 1909 trucks, 81 trailers 1853
motorcycles and 662 dealers have
)een ceilnsed in South Carolina so far
hits year. This is few thousand
machines less than were licensed in
1920.
The figures were compiled for the
mothtly meeting of the highway conf
mission which takes place next
Tuesday. One interesting fact
brought to light is that not hclf as
many dealers are now licensed as
were last year. In 1920 a total of
l ,541 dealers were licensed and so
far this year only 662 have been H.
censed.
Receipts for the sale of licenses
have reached total of S733,SA322

| rious counties under the 80 per cent
clause. For the past quarter, July,
August and September, tho receipts
amounted to $23,556.94. The greater
portion Of the revenue was received
during the first three months Of the
year.
In the accruals Of license money
back to the counties, Greenville still
leads the state for the entire year
with $49,135.93 and Richland comes
second whit $45,e97.42. For the last
quarter Greenville also leads with

High Army Officers
Reduced to Sad Plight

Berlin, Oct. 12.-The financial
plight of some former high army off
cers, who, deprived of government
pay which was their only income, hav,
been reduced to straitened circum-
stances has caused movement among
former soldiers to help them by dona-
tions of sum ranging from five to 1C
marks. Only few of the needy Off
GERS, however, have consentld to ac
cept such charity. Former Field
Marshal Conrad Won HoetZcndorf de
clining a donation of 1900 marks
wrote:
81 am not complaining, and feel
have little cause to complain, when
think of the many wounded men who
have even less than I. This money
should go to help them"
Won Hoetzendorf and his wife arc
living at Innsbruck, occupying small
room in which their meals are pre-
pared on an electric stove. Tie former
ield marshal's income amounts to
less than 1900 German marks month.

Many former high officers have
been compelled to leave Germany fol
Austria and Poland, where their Ger
man marks have a greater purchas
ing power. Others have taken low
salaried positions in the German prd

Considerable sympathy for these
men recently has been manifest ever
in liberal, socialist, radical and anti
monarchistic quarters, and the news
papers have been advertising tn,
seriousness of their situation.

does the khan would at the polls year

erence and vote the Democratic ticket.
Referring to attacks on the khan by
Hearst newspapers, Mr.. Simmons
turning toward C.. Anderson Wright,
former Klansman, who wrote Sc
ries of articles about the organiza-
ton said:
"Just .as Judas betrayed Christ for
30 pieces of silver so there was found
by the Hearst paper c. Anderson
Wright, a former klansman, who for
money betrayed his oath. My infor-
nation is that the Hearst papers paid
this man $4,000 cash and 500 week

and also agreed to protect him from

tion resulting from his libelOus stories

preach respect for the law"
At times there was intense quiet in
the room and at one of these moments
the witness, rapping the table, de-
clared that no man could charge dis
order in any city where the khan was
well organized.
The khan, the witness testified, is
conducting an investigation of its
own into charges against Edward
Young Clarke, imperial kleagle and
head of the propagation bureau, and
Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, his assistant
and will issue an official statement
when it comes into possession of all
the facts.
Mr.. Simmons also stated that wher
the charges were first made Clarke
and Mrs Tyler presented their res.
ignations, to be acted upon after full
opportunity has been given for thor,
ough sitting.
The revocation of charters at Pen.
sacola, Fla, and Mobile, Ala, was
ordered by the klan. Mr.. Simmons
testified, after it had been found that
persons purporting to be members
had violated it's best traditions. Al
Pensacola three men wearing robes
ordered Greek to leave the city, but
it never was established, he said, thai
they were klansmen and the chate,
was restored on assurance by local of
ficers that they would keep up re-
lentless fight to find the offenders.
The Mobile incident, Mr.. Simmon.
continued was due "to the silly ac
tion of member" who "imaginet
he had the power of Napoleon" ant
posted khan warnings "to bootlegger:
and others" that the organization was
preparing to clean up the town. The
notice was signed, he said, "by {
man who had no sense"
Discussing charges of violence OF
the part Of the alleged klansmen, Mr.
Simmons declared that when mem
ber took the law into his own hand!
he automatically was dropped from
the organization. "And have neve
yet failed" he added, "to turn owe
to the local authorities if I had i
any evidence needed to bring abou
conviction. have been doint
things in that direction and no MAJ
living can say that personally or a.
head Of the khan ever attempted Il

requires him to uphold the law. Th'
