of the secret order that rides in the

value and regardless of mystic rank.
Beginning at the beginning, two
years ago Villain Joseph Simmons,
a professor of history in Lanier Uni
versity, Atlanta, Ga, was the head
of a small organization known as
the Ku Klux Klan, whose member
ship did not exceed 1000. He re-
sided forthe most part in Atlanta.
A Student OF Mysticism.
The name. a relic of reconstruction
days, had been appropriated by Sim
mons, who was evidently a student
in the science of mysticism. He wrote
mystic literature in large quantities.
in his investigations of Southern his
tory he had come upon the original
ritual of the old Ku Klux Klan. He
had studied 1t, believed in it, and be-
gan to preach 1t.
The ritual is really a beautiful
thing. Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest
of the Confederate army, and one Of
it's most beloved commanders, was
the author of the work, having writ
ten II when grand wizard. The wizard
did not become imperial until later.
Simmons, I am sure, was actuatea
by lofty motives when he re-estab-
lished the Ku Klux Klan, and had no
particular desire tor financial gain.
AS a matter Of fact, he and his family
were on the verge Of starvation for
three years while he struggled to
keep the khan alive.
At the end of that period the dark
clouds broke away and the sun began
to shine for the professor. The mem.
bership increased q bit and some Of
the hundreds In arrears In dues paid
up. -,
Then someone in his small organi
cation ran off with the funds. Then
was set up what became known as
the Klandestine Khan in Tennessee as
a rival to the Ku Kux Klan.
A Sad Grand Wizard.
This nearly broke Simmons heart.
He was sad grand wizard.

partners in the Southern Publicity

The imperial wizard told his trou:

Because of difficulties which arose between them over family affairs, Henry Midkiff is at the Prescott Hos- pital suffering from gun shot wounds received at the hands of Frank Ben tonf who in turn was shot by Mid xiii, the affair taking place yester- day evening about 2 o'clock at the home of Benton, twelve miles east of Prescott. Sheriff Steele and Dep uty Cox went to the scene of the shooting and returned with Midkiff, but were unable to locate Benton, who was not so badly injured as his opponent.
 It is said that Midkiff and Benton married sisters and that the formers wife deserted him, going to the home of Benton to live, and that Midkiff, laboring under the impression that Benton had caused his wife to quit him, had gone to Benton's home yes- terday afternoon where the quarrel was renewed. Both men had shot guns loaded with squirrel shot, and met in field near Benton's home. Midkiff was perforated with shot from his right hip to the top of his head, while Benton received a shot in his nose and few in his face, but neither was seriously injured.

WILL ORGANIZE TO
 ADVERTISE ARKANSAS

The creation of a statewide com mission for the purpose of refuting the unfavorable advertising which has been received by Arkansas, es- pecially during recent months, is be- ing agitated by some of the more pro- gressive and patriotic citizens of the state. It is proposed to conduct a nationwide campaign of propaganda and education for the purpose of placing Arkansas and its resources and advantages in the most favorable light before the people of the country. 1t will be the purpose of this organi- zation to reach practically every pub lication in the United States, with articles that are to be prepared by some of the nations best known and most widely read writers. The plans are yet in only an embryonic state, but it is expected that they will be crystallized in a short time into a po- tential factor for good.
