RETALIATION.

The killing of Sid Hatfield by the
Felts detectives according to the
charge of Attorney G. L. Counts was
a way the detectives had of getting
even with the man who had killed
them when they went to evict certain
tenants of the coal company. Sid was
cleared of the charge by jury or
his own folks and the detectives de-
termined on revenge at any cost, and
when they got chance they killed
Hatfield and Chambers. To shoot men
when they were marching into court
with their wives was horrible pro-
cedure, but it seems that anything
goes in the West Virginia mining
towns.

BOIL WEEVIL IN
SOUTH CAROLINA

Rev. Morrison Bethea who has just
returned from his vacation spent
with his father, Mr.. w. w. Bethea
at Florence and his wifes relatives
in Clinton says that the boil weevil
has about eaten up all the cotton in
South Carolina, and that his father
estimates that not more than from
twenty to twenty-five per cent of a
crop is left by the insects.
The weevil bores a hole in the
squares and lays an egg which soon
changes to a worm which eats out
| the inside of the small boil and
causes the squares to drop off. The
hands are paid to pick up these
squares and the fields are covered
twice a week for this purpose. The
squares picked up are burned to
kill the worms which if left on the
ground will soon develop more wee
wills, which lay hundreds of eggs
The insects are moving northward.
They have covered South Carolina in
two years time Mr.. Bethea asserts.
Mr.. Bethea looks we'll, and will
preach next Sunday in Wilson. His
family will remain longer with Mrs.
Bethea's father at Clintno.

REPUDIATES THE KHAN.

Bruce Craven a lawyer of Trinity
college who was the Great Red Dra-
gon operating under Mr.. Simmons,
the Imperial Wizard of the Invisible
Empire of the Ku Klux Klan is out
in a statement today in the Green's
boro News and repudiates the organ
iZation.
In the course of his remarks he
says that the purpose of the Klan is
to collect all the initiation fees poss-
ible, and to do this will admit any
lone regardless of character or re-
:sponsibility to it's membership.
Well Bruce has not told us any
thing we had not thought or have said
in the columns of the Times We do
not need government by an invisible
empire. 1t smacks too much of
Hades.
What we do not understand is
that a man of Craven's intelligence
would allow himself to be balled up
with such an outfit standing for such
principles. But some men will line

they are given an office.

UMPIRE WALSH ARRESTED FOR
CONDUCT ON BASEBALL FIELD

WinstonSalem, Aug At the
close of the game here today be-
tween the Winston-Salem and High
Point clubs of the Piedmont League,
Umpire Walsh was placed under ar
rest by the police and will face a
charge of disorderly conduct in the
Recorders court tomorrow morn
ing.
Walsh, who off1ciated behind the
plate during the entire contest, is
said to have been Intoxicated. He
frequently stopped the game to go
over and converse with occupants Of
the grand stand, using abusive words
and required the assistance of players
to get extra baseball from his
pockets.
The specific charge against the
umpire is the use of boisterous and
profane language.

Last evening in the dining room OF
the Atlantic Christian College the
Kiwanis Club held it's regular bi-
monthly session. In the absence of
the president, the vice-president Bill
Adams, presided most acceptably.
The feature of the evening was a
paper read by DR.. Ben Herring, deal
ing largely with the history of medi-
cine. DR.. Herring most Interestingly
traced the development of the art of
science of medicine from it's begin
ming in the remote ages of along
ago. He spoke most entertainingly of
the many superstitions in the lay
/! mind in regard to the virtue of
charms, red flannel bands, and
stones ETC. He stated that much OF
the progress of modern medicine was
due to the research and activities OF
southern physicians.
Sam Leonard and Arthur Ruffin
acted as song leaders of the evening
Several guests were present and
were introduced to the club by their
various hosts.
Chris Pierce was called upon to
tell the club about the recent as
sembling of Kinwanians in Kinston
on the Kinston charter night. Chris
not being a regular speaker was seri-
ously affected with timidity but cour-
ageously arose and told the fellows
about the good time the Kinston XII
wanians gave the Wilson visitors and
those from other towSs.
The attendance prize, a handsome
purse donated by John Adams was
won by Charlie Powell, who qualified
himself to receive same by giving the

BRUCE CRAVEN REPUDIATES
THE KU KLUX KLA

The new organization of the ku
Klux Klan, as at present conducted
in North Carolina. is an organiza
tion engaged exclusively in collect
ing initiation fees under false pre-
lenses, without any legal standing
in the state. and is in my opinion a
failure and a fraud"
This is the keynote OF an inter-
view given to the Daily News in
Greensboro yesterday, by Major
Bruce Craven, lawyer, financier and
writer, of Trinity, and until noon to-
day the grand dragon of the realm.
supreme head of the khan in North
Carolina. Major Craven's connec-
ton with the movement has for some
time been an open secret in this
been a joke even to the ones inside
He was influential in the organiza-
tion in Greensboro and in High
Point, and a considerable number of
good citizens went in on his promises
of the state organization. The pro-
fessional organizers operating in
this section have used his name so
openly that the public has been
amazed to the extent that there will
probably bit but little surprise at his
reputation of the whole business.
His interview at this particular
time comes as a direct result of the
inability of this paper to longer SUD-
| press the matter and the use of his
name, and also because of exposures
! known to be coming soon in other
| papers. Rather than permit his own
part to become public in that way,
he chooses the direct route as all
] who know him would expect him to
| do.

SQUARES HIMSELF
WITH HIS GOD.

Ayden, Aug. 1.-Impelled by
deep and growing spiritual conviction
that he should confess crime that
has been a local mystery for several
years, Thomas Jackson, a former cit
izen of this place, yesterday made
public admission in the presence of a
hundred or more persons in the Semi

to his clothes pressing establishment
in order to collect insurance money
on a policy he had purchased a short

Jackson, according to his statement,
also destroyed the Ross hotel and
damaged a residential structure
Late today it was learned from To-
cal representatives of insurance COM
panies that no action against Jackson
had been planned so far. 1t appears
that the matter will be one for the
local authorities, but definite steps
in this direction were not taken to-
day

would preach in the auditorium of
the seminary Sunday afternoon, and
incidentally confided to few friends
his intention of making a public con-
fession of the burning of pressing
establishment of which he was pro-
prietor, some years ago in order that
he might collect the insurance money.
Tells Whole Story.
Yesterday afternoon, in the pres
ence of large crowd, Jackson, with
a voice almost choked with emotion,
recited the details, telling how he
took his rifle near the midnight
hour and left home, fully intending
to kill anyone who happened to see
or recognize him. He said he poured
gasoline on the floor of the pressing
club building and then ignited it.
The blaze rapidly spread. The Ross
hotel was also destroyed and a resi-
dence nearby was badly damaged.
Jackson, who says he was convert
ed last fall during the revival meet
ings, conducted by Cyclone" McLen-
don at Greenville, told his hearers he
had been unable to rid his mind of
the crime, and asserted that God
told him he must confess his sins be-
fore he could be forgiven. jackson
