WOKK OV THK KI..W ltecentiy thvro has l>e<en considerable tK>ntrove>rsy in the state press o.vor the introduction *of a society named the Ku Klux lv Ian, of which Co). William Simmons, otj (Jeorgia, i* organizer ami (imml Cyclops. From what we &hi gather the concensus of opinion Is that no slid) organisation Ik ninnled here ami It Is more than likely to do harm by inciting racial trouble* ami un necessarily alarming tho "brother in black." and whom, like unto the poor, wo will always have with lis.. Hut despite opposition, this ?icw secret so ciety N said to he organizing lodges all over our Stat*' and is gaining a strong foothold even north of the .Ma son and Dixon line, where the. one time Moody shirt wavers are alarmed over the immigration into their midst of so many negroes from the Sunny Smith. I have known Col. ltiii Slnnmwis. organizer and chief head of tills Ku KUtx Society, for lo these many years. We lived in neighboring counties and the same congressional district. < 'olo 1 1 el Simmons Is an aide lawyer and a polished Southern ircntlemnu of spot i less character, lint he has ever been | an uncompromising. rautankerous. re?l hot-ami st I II a heating, organized Dcm oerat. Me looked with disapproval on] the Farmer's Alliance, and to mention Tom Watson in his presence was to cause j'.ill Simmons to manifest every 1 [symptom of .-political hydrophobia. Colonel Simmons is a good chureh 1 man. hut If the Democratic convention I [ repudiated the ten commandments* and an opposition >arty made thein a I part of its plat form, he would nnhesl fittingly emlorse ami if called on. take the stump in Support of his party ami If * creed. Colonel Simmons lias a commonda bio ambition for public honors, but Ills extreme views have never permit ted him to advance further than his front gate. When we Democrats in tlx' old Ninth tieorgia District were heating the bushes to fiml a candidate to pit against Emory Speer, the brilliant young independent in Congress, Rill ?Simmons would have been given the nomination: tout as Mr. Speer had do *? feated two of the strongest men in the district by over 7.000 votes, .the colonel decided not to act the part of political lamb led to slaughter. So as a der nier resort the organized Democrats nominated Alien D. Candler, a com parativoly unknown man, and one of the most ungainly specimens of hu manity eye ever looked upon ns thbir congressional standard 'bearer. To give the readers a fainjl idea of <"olonol Candler's personal appearance when the writer of this article was standing beside him. 1 felt like unto a tiling of heauty ami joy forever. Suffice to add that Allen D Candlet- defeated Emory Speer by over 4,000 votes, served in. Congress until be gor tired was then elected governor and died in harness. This is the time that RiTl "Simmons did nut take the tide at flood and it never agiin returned. lie bud re lapsed into a state of innocuous desue tude until the colonel again brought himself into the limelight by organiz nig lii< K n Klux Klan Society. 1 will now give :i brief history of the original Ku Klnx Klan and as both my father and brother were Klansnien. I write authentically. I have watched long lines of these night riders, with masks ami long shroud 1 i 1< ? ? robes silent ly pass along the publie roads. The .spectacle was so wierd and ghost like as to not only terrify the superstitious negroes but impress uninitiated whites. Had Abraham l.incoln never been assassimi ted, the South would never have been subjected t < > the horrors and degradation of reconst ruetjon. His death left free hand to the bilter e*t and most vindicative enemies of the South, led by Thad Steven*, whose ironworks our soldiers luid burned on their invasion into Pennsylvania. A band of political vultures from the ^ i i North floi'krd !o tin* South, by Federal bayonets. Every man who sympathized with the Confederacy was disfranchized and these "carpet-bag gers'" organized the ignorant negroes and not only took control of the gov ernments of the different States, but encouraged :ifid upheld the blacks in the most abhorrent #^ts of lawless ness It w.t literally the placing of black ! ierls on white necks. White woinii. were <>ii' raged, incendiary fires illumined the sky at night and stock was indiscriminately slaughter ed. And not only this, but fraudu!e:ii bonds were issued anil taxes imposed that meant confiscation of our farming lands and town property. As the courts were controlled by these North ern adventurer* anil their nejrro fools justice was ,i farce. It was then that General N B Forrest, a gallant Confederate officer, organized the Ku Klnx Klan and Its ^ mejnbershlp win made np of disbanded Confederal*' soldier* nnd qruTck'j Hp read over tin* South. The members were initiated In some sgcluded spot in the hours of night and the iuo>t voli'um and binding ami threat ?mini; oath of secrecy administered. Kvfiti when subjected to imprisonment ami the sweatdtox would arrested clansmen uot divulge this oath. The ex-soldiers constituting the Kl> Klux Klan had no mul ice x>r antago nlsiu against their former slaves. On the other bund, the? felt kindly to Ward the negro ami realized the fact that while they were fighting foT Ills ?*ott tinned enslavement at the front I bene faithful blacks not only t IIHmI the fields and fed their armies but ?sui> ported and guarded their helpless*, families left among them, . The ven geauve of the K. K. K. was directed at the white adventurers w ho were misleading the negroes. Heforc imposing punishment on a prisoner a regular court of Justice was held ami the accused given an opi*>r? f unity. to state bis side. It was only in instances where white women were mistreated i hat the death pfeffyi.lt y was imposed;. It was more the .mission ?>f the K. K. K. to terrorize and work upon i lie inborn superstition of the >ieg#o than t<* punish him. And the secret organization did work wonders in bringing order out. of misrule ;iihl chaos and p-ivlng the way for white control of the Southern States. : When this work w?,s completed Gen eral Forrest issued an order disband in); the members of the Ku Klnx Klan, when its members dispersed and re turned to their peaceful pursuits. Some irresponsible parties and boys oyer the South began to perpetrate all manner of outrages upon negroes, for which the Khinsinen got the discredit, lint when regular K. lv. K.'s ran up on Mich bands their coats were "shucked" and they were given a switching. In their redemption from such in tolerable conditions, tho Southern States were uldod by tho influence of ninny- business men of tho North. Ir ro*|H?otlvo of party linos.
