AMERICAN ?| LEGION XW NEWS Conducted by Lewis M. Crist, Publicity Officer, Meech Stewart Post, No. G6. K. Dantlord Garrison of Meech Stewart Post No. 06, will leave next week for Kansas City, -Mo.. Slaving b "c ij elected one of the delegates from South Carolina to the National convention -of the legion. The South Carolina.delegation is yxpected to i:i"et in Columbia and go to Kansas City i:i a body, from the state capital. .Mr. Harrison will not return to South Carolina immediately following the convention but will likely remain out' west for some time. I f lien M. Sawyer of Columbia, has assumed his duties as adjutant of the J state department of South Carolina j aial ail correspondence of the state do- i partmyit is now handled through liiin. , .Mr. Sawyer was appointed adjutant by j Commander .Morris C. Lumpkin, fol- | lowing the flection of Commander' Lumpkin at Newberry. He succeeds j \V. Knydcn Watkirs of Greenville, who j has served most acceptably as state | adjutant during the administ-viion ?>f : ex-State Commander G. I lay ward Ma-j lion of Greenville. The adjutant of Meooh Stewart Post ( received a telegram the other day from tli<' adjutant of the American Legion I Post at .Monroe, X. C., wanting to arrange for a game of football between the two posts to be played at .Monroe. The .Monroe legionaire was under the impression that the local post followed its great baseball team of the past summer with a football team but was advised following* receipt of his telegram that the ex-soldiers of this see- | tion have not had time to go in fori football this fall. Kx-service men all over YoiI: county are going to co-operate with the York J County Fair Association for the county fair to be held next month at least to the extent of being present for the j celebration of Armistice day in Iiock Hill on November 11. The farmer contingent among the ex-soldiers will I be well up with their work by Novem- ' her 11. and it is felt that there is no reason why there cannot he and will not be several hundred ox-m.Idlers present for the celebration. Is there any ex-service man in torn county who served in ine same organization with Private Charlie Warmouth of Sharon, S. C.? If there is he is requested to send his name and address to the commander of Meech Stewart Post. "Warmouth has lost his discharge.

Commander Sam Wilkerron of Hick- i 0 y Ciove Post, says that the post j membership is growing slowly, despite, the fact th it the post has lost a mini- 1 ln r of members by removal to other j plac s. However there are tots of men in Uickoiy Crove and vicinity who I have not a I lUinted themselves wiPn the ! post and the follows who arc inemhcir have plenty of material to work 011.

The proposed investigation of Ku Klu.v Klan hy congress Mew up Monday. according to a Washington dispatch. After a ton minute session behind rinsed doors, the house rules cmnmiuee which at morning and afternoon sessions put William J. Simmons, the klnn's imperial wizard, through a rigid examination, voted unanimously not to all any more witnesses, certainly at this t imo. Announcement of the committee's action was made by Chairman Camphell and while the chairman and members refused later to make any comment beyond the bare statement as to witnesses, it is expected that an adverse report will be submitted to the house on a number of resolutions providing for an investigation. Final action, however, will not bo taken until several absent members return to Washington, hut the house members accepted it as settled that they dune with the Ku KlUX. unless ihi1 department of justice, conducting .in inquiry of its own, comes forward with unexpected evidence. Still showing the effects of his ill ness, the imperial wizard's voice weakened as he sat all day answering a whirlwind of questions. As on previous days he entered a categorical denial of charges of lawlessness by the tflan, and reiterated that the total membership of the organization was slightly under 100,000. There was an exciting moment at the outset when Simmons dramatically declared that, according to information given him by Representative Upshuw of Georgia, a man who was supposed t'> have been present stated that Chairman Campbell and Assistant Attorney General Crim had characterized his collapse last week as a "cheap theatrical attempt to gain sympathy." Quick as a flash Chairman Campbell declared there was not a word of truth in it. Mr. (him, jumping to his feet in the confusion, declared the chairman's answer went for him, and the- wizard, still smiling, said he was J glad to know it. As he left the stand Mr. Simmons, Apparently with deep feeling, said that lie wanted to thank the committee for its consideration and courtesy, 1 * fir Not \ HpO PRODUCE tiny 9 ?h<* fl^uii-'wwwr.nj ' .Siiiiiiiarc:'" M?Uj fc.vrr iirau tivo ianm?i NoJl.hig ''S!i!U<r:J!v' 1 Victor <T?:i {;: > . b.\ :-?*!? i 1 11." .- :uv; (' i ary la lis;t > cli'DM'ni ]>!?riiy, stamliiy, cxp etc, i'iiysiaiI t' l.orciory les ilrr f; -., in (lclcrmii ignition* luit' of costs!) invssi:iv ?u*y'C'lopinent, iormaiicc, ctr.

Burns, di i rector of the department of justice j I bureau of investigation, was made by j ( Representative Fou (Democrat) of North Carolina, while he was exarnin- ' ing the wizard. Asked if he had been | intimidated by the presence of Mr., J Burns, whom he characterized as "the | I Sherlock Holmes of the United States,"! I Mr.. Simmons said he had not, and i J that lie had faithfully tried to give j the committee all the information it w?:s seeking. Mr. Pou asserted it was the first time in his 21 years of servI ice that the department of justice had i sent representatives to "listen in" on the rules committee. In rounding up what he termed the j gend points of the organization, Mr. | Simmons said that "the military ; branch," not yet formed, was not more j militaristic than the patrol of the I Mystic Shrine, that members joining were required to help enforce the ! nation's laws only as citizens, and it hut when black sheep crept in they were kicked out, if found. He had no personal information as.to whether the chief of police of NorroiK, va., was a member, he said, adding that while there was no printed roster of members on file at Atlanta headquarters, each klnn or lodge kept a list of its own. There was no rule, he said, prohibiting publication of membership lists. Getting down the personal side, Mr. Pou asked the wizard point blank ( how much he was worth, and the wizi ard replied that all of his savings ' had been spent during the early fight to put the J<lan on its feet. "1 have no financial standing," lie i said. "F have had no pocket book of 'mv own these past six years, and God being my witness, I have tried to steer this organization clear away from commercialism." ' Simmons, answering Chairman Campbell, denied that he had claimed a membership of hundreds of thousI ands who would go after congress, hitting it hip and thigh, if it attempted to crush the klan. lie asked 1 congress to go ahead and investigate. ?

Trains must and will be operated in South Carolina, regardless of the strike J if men can be found to operate them, declared Governor Cooper in a statement issued, a few days ago. He said that an investigation should be started immediately to locate men who can be used to operate the trains in the event of a'walkout. The governor said he would take j every step necessary to protect the ! public and would, If necessary, call a special session of the general assembly and would call for volunteers to operate the trains. Declaring that he did not doubt the legal right of the railroad men to strike, the governor questioned their moral right to strike at this time when it would cause great suffering among the people and would inflict irreparable loss on the public. He ijaid it would cause a tremendous decrease in the price of all agricultural products that the state has to sell and a tremendous increase in everything the state has to buy. The farmers of the state have been hard hit during the past year and the strike coming at this time wpuld deal them another severe blow. It is the duty of the state and national government, the governor said, to protect the public, and speaking for South Carolina, he said that the trains SHOE SPECIALS We have Selz and CraddockTerry Shoes?
