in his real business of making a
crop he must gamble with weather,

tered the office Of imperial wizard
down to the present time, he has
feared F.. Y. ClarEe's power and
hated his popularity with the Or
ganization and nothing has been left
undone by him and his henchmen
to break the genius and to discredit
the ability of E. Y. Clarke.
There is no darker page of per-
fidy in the record Of human rela-
tons than the conspiracy of H. w.
Evans to break E. Y. Clarke and
to drive him out of the knights of
the Ku Klux Khan and make him
an exile and a. wanderer on the face
of the earth.
THE final court of arbitriment is
the bar of public opinion, and when
the case is stated and the evidence is
submitted [ know that Z. Y. Clarke
is going to be disclosed as white as
the driven snow as compared with
the men who have plotted his down.

branded him with disgrace.

Fl. c. Mccall, grand dragon of
the khan for the state Of Texas and
head of the klans in that state, ar
rived in Atlanta and announced he
was here to aid Imperial Wizard DIR.
H. w. Evans.
"TeXas has 100000 klansmen," Mr..
Mccall said, land all of the 275
klans in this state are solidly behind
DR.. Evans and will vigorously con-
test any attempt to usurp his au-
thority on the part of individuals
seeking personal profit at the eX-
pense of the order.
s'The biggest realm of the invisible
empire recognizes the fact that DR..

and they are determined that their
properly expressed opinion shall not
be set aside"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
COTTON

NEW YORK, April 9.-Relative
firm Liverpool cables and rather
unsettled weather conditions in the
south gave the cotton market a
firm tone at the opening today and
first prices were II to u points
higher on trade and commission
house buying. The advance at
tracted considerable realizing which
caused irregularity, but the under
tone IN the market was steady dur
ing the early trading with July
holding around 29.10 and October
1915 or about 10 to % points net
higher on the general list. Private
cables said the advance in Liverpool
was due to covering on the bullish
statistical position and unfavorable
reports regarding the new crop
start. Spot sales in the English
market were larger again, amount
ing to 10000 bales, including 1900
bales for export, but only half the
business was in American cotton
Rains were reported in eastern belt
sections and the early forecast was
for partly cloudy weather in the
west with probably showers in west
ern Texas.
There also were reports of low
temperatures following yesterdays
rains in the eastern belt, but the
main factor appeared to be the firm
ness of Liverpool and Cid crop
months led the advance which eX-
tended to 1904 for May and 1928
for July during the middlel of the
morning, or IS to S. points net
higher and the market held within
a few points of the best around mid
day.
There was further scattering
pressure on near months and prices
eased off another few points early
in the afternoon with May selling
down to 29.75 and October. % IS.
Favorable weather reports from the
southwest helped the tone of the
market, however, and prices were
steady around 2 o'clock at rallies Of

with the active months ruling about

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, April AL,
most sensationally good cables and
what was generally considered to
be unsatisfactory weather over the
belt put the cotton market higher
today, the active months gaining IS
to Sc points in. the first half hour
of business. May rose to 29.51 and
October to 1882 cents a pound.
Scatrteed selling developed and
for a while this worked against
values, causing downturns of Is to
20 points, but late in the morning,
private messages came in from the
interior, reporting further rains in
some sections of Texas and COM
planning of backwardness of plant
ing in sections of the eastern belt
Prices worked up to new high levels
for the session on most months, May
rising to 1858 and October to 1884.
At these prices the market was 10
to SO points up.
Selling of May increased and at
fected the whole list. kilograms to
brokers here from both west Texas
and north Louisiana said that plant
ing was going ahead and they offset
the unfavorable opinion of the
weather that had been entertained.
