THRILLING STORY
lure OF TREASURE"
BEGINS NEXT WEEK

Mining for precious metals taking
it's followers to the most remote cor
ners of the earth, has been productive
of an immense amount of adventure
and is one of the most romantic of
all human pursuits. Consequently it
has given rise to some of the best
stories written in recent years. There
could hardly be better setting and a
better set of incidents and human
characters than the talented young
novelist, Courtney Ryley Cooper, has
chosen for his big mining story, "The
Cross Cut"
1t contains a fascinating mystery, a
fighting, determined hero; a charming
heroine and an unusually interesting
plot having for it's basis an attempt
to steal valuable silver mine. The
author knows both the romantic and
the practical sides of mining and he
knows how to tell a great story. We
have been fortunate enough, to secure
this novel for serial reproduction in
the Phoenix Tribune. Get the open
ing installment next week and follow
it all the way through and remember
that if you bought it in book form it
would cost you as much as a years
subscription to this paper.

FATAL TO PHYSICIAN
Especial to The Tribune)

GREENEVILLE, Tenn, Aug. H.
DR.. C. H. Alexander, we'll known To-
cal physician was shot and instantly
killed; Mrs. Theodric Cannon, young
colored woman was seriously wound,
ed, Samuel Briscoe. chauffeur for
DR. Anderson was also wounded
wheh Theodric Cannon came upon a
party of four in the doctors automo-
bile at the top of Browns mountain
last night at $3.50 o'clock.
Cannon had been informed that DR..
Alexander, his chauffeur, the Cannon
woman and another girl friend had
gone on joy ride in the DOCTOR
automobile. He procured a pistol of
large calibre and went in hot pursuit.
The infuriated husband came upon the
party of four in quiet section of
the county known as Browns noun
tain. Without one word he pulled the
pistol and began firing, the first
bullet striking the doctor, killing him
instantly. Cannon then turned the
pistol on his wife and she fell SER
iously wounded with a bullet in her
breast. AS Sam Briscoe the chauffeur
ran away he was shot in the leg. The
failure Of the other woman of the
party to be shot was due to all of
the bullets having been fired from the
pistol. She is said to have fallen to
her knees and begged for her life as
Cannon stood cursing the quartet with
the yet smoking revolver clutched in
his hand.
DR.. Alexander recently came to
Greeneville to take up the practice
of medicine, having come from Pet
ersburg, Va, where he was associated
with his father in the practice there.
He was considered one of the most
brilliant and best prepared members
of the profession. He was a graduate
Of Harvard University and finished
his medical course at Meharry Medi-
cal College in 1917. During the sea-
son of 1918 at that institution he held
the chair of professor of anatomy.
His remains were shipped to his home
at Petersburg for burial
A charge of murder was registered
against Cannon and he has been re-
leased on bond.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE follow

New York World of Monday:
Il had an interview with Acting I'M

determined to make America a white
mans country, and the Klan is a
mighty powerful white organization
that represents the opinions and the
prejudices of every true white man
in the United States.
Il tell you, the Ku Klux Klan is
really the invisible government of the
United States. l am not excusing the
Klan, but l want it understood that
the Klan is open in its attitude.
II tell you that the Universal Ne
gro Improvement Association is just
like the Ku Klux Klan. The Klan
wants America for the white folks.
We want Africa for Africans"
Says Press Can't End 1t.
Great cheering from all over the
hall greeted this. At the first men,
ton of the Acting Imperial Wizard
there had been kissing of that name,
but interest in the speakers talk soon
quieted his audience.
What should be the Negro's atti-
tude toward such an organization as
the Ku Klux Klan?" Garvey went on
judicially. 'It should be not to fight
it, not to aggravate it, but to think
of what it means and say and do moth
ing. 1t will not help us to fight it or
its program. The Negro's numerical
disadvantage in this country is too
great.
I'VE Negroes got wild with excite
ment because The World and then the
American tried to expose the Ku
Klux Klan. The World has no inten-
tion of exposing the Klan in order to
please the Negroes. 1t exposed the
Klan for its own sweet purpose"
From members of the audience it is
learned that Garvey said also that
Imperial Wizard Clarke said that the
Klan would be willing to help him
furnish steamship line for the evi-
dent purpose of carrying the race
back to Africa

AIN THEIR OWN WORDS

The teacher one day told the chill
dren the story of Socrates-how wise
he was, how unhappy was his married
life, and how at last he poisoned him
self with hemlock. When she had
finished she told the children to write
down the story in their own words.
She was amused to find one essay
wound up triumphantly:

KLANISM IS Menace
TO CIVILIZATION
SAYS NOTED WRITER
Especial to The Tribune)

NEW YORK, Aug 1.-THE mani
festo of Governor Hardwick of Geor-
gia against the Ku Klux Klan, threat
ening to ask the Legislature to make
the mere wearing of mask crime,
and declaring that no secret body
shall dominate the State, was proba-
bly, not expected from Hardwick. He
is no sympathizer with the Negroes,
but his determination to prevent the
establishment of any imperium in
imperio within the limits of the Crack
er State is approved by the Judgment
of sane men, there and elsewhere.
Even the qualifications of the mani
festo are not unreasonable. 1t is
doubtless true that numbers of men
have joined the Klux from entirely
creditable motives taking at par val
ue the orders appeal to American pa
triotism. In Georgia, as elsewhere,
however, the greatest evil Of the Khan
movement springs from its identifi-
cation in the Negro mind with the
Klan of Reconstruction days. This
makes it possible for an agitator like
the Jamaica Negro, Marcus Garvey,
to assure all the Colored people of the
United States that they can never get
a square deal in America. Garvey
had an interview in Atlanta with
Acting Imperial Wizard Clarke, and
came away to tell his people that the
Ku Klux Klan was hostile to any i'm
provement of the Afro-American's
condition. Georgia needs the Negro
as much as the Negro needs Georgia.
That is the phase of the whole prob
lem that is forcing itself upon the at
tention of intelligent planters. Spo-
radio lynchings make large numbers
of Colored folks want to move away,
up North if not to Africa. If to that
influence is added the toleration of a
secret organization capable Of all
sorts of terrible work at night against
the race, the effect may be easily
imagined.
