MAYOR GATES IS
INIT lated AS
MEMBER X. K. K.
MEDFORD'S CHIEF MAGISTRATE
GIVES ENDORSEMENT
TO KHAN
Declares Ritual Beautiful and Work
Of Artist, and Obligation Is Such
Any Christian Man Can Take, But
Objects to Masks.

On invitation of the order OF +.
Klux, Mayor Gates of Medford be-
came a duly enrolled member of the
organization, Sunday night, and yes
terday sent the following letter to
the editor Of the Medford Mail
Tribune:
To the Editor: My answer to the
kleagles agreeing to take the work
under certain conditions. was ac-
cepted, and l was called upon the
phone to appear. I appeared and
was given the work from one end to
the other.
The obligation and oath was one
that no Christian man could take
exception to. Whoever wrote 1t must
have been an artist, for it certainly
was a masterpiece. According to
that obligation, any man who vio-
iates any law OF either the United
States, ur own state or city, could
not be good Klansman. The work
was beautiful and very impressive.
II a man Is not a better citizen after
taking the work, he is not fit sub
ject for any order or community.
When all masks were removed, and
/ looked around the room into the
faces Of over 200 men present, men
from every walk of life in the COM
munity, could not help but wonder
why the packing Of so many guns in
Medford? not only heard every
word of the obligation. but read It
over fromsthe ritual afterwards, to
be sure-that I was getting 1t as 1t
really was. I believe that with the
class of ten that went in at the time,
we received it in its entirety.
But I did find an objection, and I
so stated in my talk to them when
called upon. I am sorry that the
mask Is used at all, although they
tell me that 1t is to be used only in
the lodge room as paraphernalia and
upon the public streets in parade.
II the wearing of the mask was en-
tirely eliminated, firmly believe
the attitude Of the public toward
the Klan would be entirely different.
The wearing Of the mask gives the
crooks and men of evil minds the
opportunity to do unlawful acts un-
der the guise of fthe Ku Klux Klan.
If any member of the Ku Klux
Klan violates the laws of our COM
munity or country, l assure the pub
lie that he will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the outside Of the
crime committed, he has violated
his obligation as Klansman.
Very truly yours,
c. e. GATES.

THE TARBORO TOBACCO
MARKET

Judging from an advertisement
recently appearing in our paper,
which quoted prices, the Tarboro
Tobacco Market is holding up
its end Of the line in high prices.
We had an interview with Mr..
II. P. Foxhall, Mayor of Tarboro,
who is also in charge Of the Farm
ers Warehouse, a few days ago,
and he stated that several big
tobacco buyers had told him that
the market at Tarboro, and his
warehouse in particular, were
paying the very highest prices
for tobacco this year, which
causes us to wonder why any OF
our farmer friends will carry
their tobacco several miles fartl
er to sell it.

!" About year ago had trouble with
my back and kidneys. My back
ached intensely and felt weak and
mornings I was sore and stiff. The
trouble bothered me considerable while
working and often 1 could hardly
stoop. Finally I got a box of Doan s

IStore. They soon relieved me OF this
trouble and put me in good shape.''
FOUR YEARS LATER, Mr.. Law
renee said: fI can recommend Doan s
Kidney Pills as highly now as I did
in 1914. Whenever my kidneys
don It act just right I take few of
Doan's Kidney Pills and they bring
me wonderful relief.''

MR. GAMBLER. UNWISE AND
LACKING IN GALI.ANTRY


If Mr.. Gambler, Of Coca-Cola
fame, who has recently broken the
engagement to marry Mrs. One
zima DeBouchel, Of New Orleans,
which was announced by her, had
used the brain that one would
think he possessed in order to
have made the money he has, be
would not have stated publicly
that he had information that she
had solicited two men to go to
her room at night. According
to her. he did this and refuses
to disclose the names Of his in
formants.
If he had been as wise as man
of his experience and one who
could invent a beverage as popu-
lar as Coca-Cola, should seeming
ly be, and as gallant as true
Southerner should certainly be,
we are sure he would have gone
to Mrs. DeBouchel prl-
vately and broken the en-
gagement, had he desired not to
marry her, instead Of making it
public affair. Then, if Mrs.
| DeBouchel had wanted to sue for
breech of promise, the burden Of
the proof would have rested with
her. Now it is all on him, and
it strikes us that she is going to
make it very difficult for this
ATLANTA millionaire, who appears
to have more money than brains,
if the. reports that he has made
the charges are to be believed.

the good results of tag days are un

in this great city, let us not forget to
turn our attention toward North Thir-
teenth and J, where exist one couple
of age, where in my judgment need
help o, Christians, let US, in the
name of God and for humanity sake,
and because We love all of our citizens,
and because it is the spirit of our great
city, let US lift them to more desirable
quarters. Be a blessing, we ask all
Christian pastors and members raise
an after offering all day Sunday, and
help US, the Mt Moriah Baptist church,
to be responsible for the house rent of
Mr.. and Mrs. Revells, from whom our
Lord and Christ died If every pastor
will lift an offering all day Sunday.
