Lookout klan passed a resolution
protesting against the continued
authority of E. Y. Clarke, one of

thfs resolution was sent to Atlanta
the Lookout khan got a quick reply
IN the shape OF revocation OF its
charter, with annullment Of all

Ignore Injunction.
The local klansmen paid no at
tention to the revocation, continu-

lanta headquarters sent an attor-
ney here and obtained temporary
injunction which comes up for final
hearing Oct. 7. Meantime Holmes

crown has caused a crisis in the
printing of bank notes, which are
manufactured by a Swiss firm.
Small notes now cost more to
print than their face value. The
government. therefore, is being Sc
verely censured by the people. The
reparations commission desires to
make a change. but as the Swiss
firm holds a copyright on the bank
notes it will be necessary to print
them from new designs.
