LARGE CROWD AT X. X. X.
JULY FOURTH CELEBRATION

The Fourth of July celebration
here last Friday was carried out as
| per the program previously publish
/ ed in this paper. In every respect
it was highly pleasing to the mem
bers of the Ku Klux Klan, under
whose auspices the program was
planned and carried out.
The first part Of the program was
the concert by the Malconta band,
at the Chautauqua building in the
afternoon. The playing of this or
ganization was keenly appreciated.
Following the concert an address
was made by stranger, who spoke
along the line of the principles of
the Klan. No sooner had the speak
er commenced, than it began to rain,
and number left the auditorium,
however quite large erowd-one
that would measure up to an aver
age Chautauqua audience remained,
and gave the speaker close atten-
tion The speaker was less radical
than Mr. Gulledge who addressed an
audience in the same place, and on
the same subject, about a year ago.
In the evening at 1880 sharp, the
X. K. K. parade began. 1t started at
the Malta park. Klansmen and
Kamelias, hooded and robed, in all
about 800 marched through Main
street to the fair grounds, where the
exercises were to conclude. Be-
sids the robed marchers, there were
a number of f1oats-one an electri-
cally lighted blazing cross on
truck nicely decorated with the
national emblem, and bunting. An
other float was the "little red
school house" There were also
large number Of automobiles, more
or less eiaborately decorated. One
in particular was literally covered
with rambler roses, and was very
beautiful.
Besides our Malconta band, the
Klan band of GAINESVILLE also played
in the parade. A very large crowd,
running up in the thousands, follow
ed the parade to the fair grounds.
Here again the crowd was addressed
by a Klan speaker. He spoke along
the same lines as did the one in the
~ ho1 ~ n~irr M,
given very close attention. At the
conclusion of his address the nat
uralization ceremonies were held in
the upper part of the fair ground
ring. About so persons are said to
have been naturalized. During the
ceremony, robed Klansment were on
guard to keep back at some dis
tance, the audience. Preceding the
naturalization exercises, two large
fiery crosses were burned. While the
crosses were burning, fireworks
were set off, the display being elab-
crate and including many kinds of
sky rockets, and several other fine
pieces. The display was on par
with those which the Chautauqua
has from time to time, had here.
During the evening, robed Klans-
men at the street crossings, and at
the fair grounds, acted as traffic
cops, and the crowd was handled in
a quiet, orderly fashion.
A special train was run here from
GAINESVILLE, and many persons came
by auto, from different parts of this
section of the state.

among friends here.
