The undersigned, members of Wag-
ener Klan, No. "a, state: That the
bulletin letter Of August Is, 1922,
addressed to all klans in South Caro-
lima, regarding the character of a
certain candidate for the Office of
lieutenant governor,aeas come to their
notice. as
They wish to say that the SUBJ
stance Of said letter in so far as it
affects said candidate is absolutely
and totally falsehood,i and said let.
ter is unauthorized by the Wagener
Klan, No. "a, as whole, and is the
work of one man only, who they are
convinced after due Investigation
wrote the letter as an act of revenge
against said candidate, the author of
said letter believing that said candi-
date was instrumental, in 1918, in
having him drafted into the army.
They further depose and say that
they represent 90 per cent of the
Wagner Klan, No. "a, and that they
know the said candidate is anything
else than what the author Of said let
ter represents him to be. Said candi-
date will, they verify believe, receive
90 per cent Of the votes in his home
town, and in the surrounding COM
munity where he is well known, at
the coming primary election. This
candidate is 100 per cent American,
and one Of the most deserving men
they have ever had the pleasure OF
supporting for state ONCE.

To the Editor Of The State:
In 1918 Tom Poston, then about II
years old, residing with his parents
at Cades, in company with another
young man, got on a spree and, pass
ing the home Of an old, inoffensive
negro, shot into his home, infiicting
a wound upon the old man which
caused his death shortly afterwards.
He was tried in the court of general
sessions here and in view Of his
youth and Through the intercession of
friends, got of with very light SEN
tence, one year.
Poston was represented by Lee &
st. Amend, the latter a nephew Of
Blease. In some mysterious way Pos
ton received pardon, not a parole,
before he was taken from the county
jail to the penitentiary, only a mat
ter Of a few days after the action of
the court.
The next time I heard of Poston
was when he shot and killed negro
convict on the chaingang, Poston oe-
ing employed as a gang guard. 1t
was reported that the negro was try.
ing to make his escape, but have
heard from reliable sources that the
negro was shackled and was only GO
ing into the bushes to relieve nature.
No action whatever was tGfen
against RQston $os thia homicide. HE

county as q guard, and was so eni-
ployed when he was on a spree early
last year and in the night ran into
J. II. Miller on the Kingstree- -Cades
highway. Both were in Ford cars.
Miller was killed and Poston was con-
victed and sentenced to life in the
penitentiary, where he now is.
Poston shot Miller to death with a
revolver belonging to the county and
used by him as a convict guard. BY
reference to your files you will find
an account of the killing, which oc-
