ORDER NEGROES
TOQUIT DISTRICT
Race Trouble Breaks
Out Close To State
Capitol

ATLANTA, Jan. 17.-Race trou-
bic of the meanest nature has spread
from Quillian district in Hall coun-
ty to a section almost within reach
maf the City Of Atlanta. A class of
BFhite people is now undertaking 70
run all tne negroes out of the Rock
bridge district in Gwinnett county,
and for no other reason, it appears,
than because certain Of these negroes
own their own farms and some of
the white people in that section OBJ
ject to negro landowners.
The excuse on which activity
against the negroes is based is their
alleged opposition to the "Ku Klux
Klan," and the warnings give, as
well as the notices to "get out" From
officials of the clan organization in
Atlanta, information comes thai
there is no branch of the order in
that section of either Gwinnett or
Hall counties, or, indeed, anywhere
near those spots where the operations
have been going on against negroes.
The nearest Ku Klax Klan organiza-
ton is said to be in Floyd county,
in the city of Rome, and from that
territory there has come no COM
plant of race oppression or trouble
of any kind.
Five responsible negroes from the
Rockbridge district of Gwinnett
came personally to see Governor
Dorsey, appealing for protection, and
laid before him the typewriter no
tees which had been posted on doors
in their neighborhood, and each of
which was signed "White Cappers."
Each of the negroes made an affida-
Wit, reciting their experience.

KHAN FRIEND, NOT
ENEMY. OF NEGROES.

ATLANTA, Jan. II. - Colonel
William J. Simmons, imperial wizard
Of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
in a statement issued today, makes
spirited and emphatic reply to false
statements published in certain sec
tons of the country that the Ku
Klux Klan is spreading the doctrine
of race prejudice and race hatred.
The imperial wizard severely cen
sured the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
with headquarters in New York,
which he charges is largely respon-
sible for the misconceived ideas of
the Ku Klux Klan and it's purpose.
"This negro association and its
friends" says Colonel Simmons,
has falsely held up the Ku KIux
lA<lan as an enemy of the negro race,
Vas a breeder of race hatred and has
deliberately and maliciously sought
to deceive the negro into believing
that this organization not only
threatens him with him bodily in
Jury in the future but already has
beaten and even killed negroes,
driven them away from ballot boxes
and sought to terrify them into flee
ing the country by midnight parades
and threats.
''The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People is
using the Ku Klux Khan as a cudgel
to exort money from the members
of the negro race for the purpose
of carrying on its nefarious purposes
and is deluding them with the hope
of social and political equality and
other wild promises which the back
ers of this association know never
can and never will be fulfilled"
Colonel Simmons declares these
assertions that the Ku Klux Khan is
spreading the doctrine of race ha-
tire and race prejudice are on a par
with and originate from the same

DANVILLE, H., Jan. IT. Mrs.
Ernest F. Harrington, who claimed
to have been fasting as days to in
duce her husband to Join the church
ended her hunger strike Saturday on
being advised by the Rev. G. S.
Payne of Ell Dorado, to take food.
She drank a glass Of milk and said
she would not resume her fast; but
her husband has not joined the
church and sticks to his oft repeat
ed statement, "Tl be darned if l
give in to her"
A movement on foot here to in
vestigate Mrs. Harrington's sanity
and to have a grand jury sitting next
week investigate the activities Of re-
ligious enthusiasts who are said to
have encouraged the woman in her
fast was said to have been response
BILE for ending her hunger strike.
Mrs. Harrington, left virtually alone
by the hurried departure Of the re
ligious enthusiasts, weakened and
took nourishment when advised to
do SO by the preacher.
The woman's husband was kept in
the dark concerning his wife's capt.
ulation until 1890 o'clock, when the
Rev. Payne went to his poultry store
to announce the end Of the fast.
Ernie hurried to the house with q
load of groceries, including an espc-
sources as those whichpropagated the
SANDER several weeks ago that this
organization was identified with the
night riders who were burning cot
