ESTEEMED FARMER c alled suddenly - — ■ — * /Isaac O. Ray of Renno Section, Dies After Short Illness. Highly Re spected Citizen. ” Isaac O. Ray, a life-long resident of the Renno section, was called into the great beyond last Saturday. His death was a-shock because of its suddenness, though he had been in declining health for several years. The funeral ser vice was held Monday at Hurricane church and interment followed in the churchyard burial ground. A large gathering of friends and relatives was present to pay a last tribute of respect to their departed friend. Rev. Mr. Justice, of the Kinard circuit, assisted - by tlie 1 Rev. Edward Long of this city, had charge of the services. Mr. Ray was in his 65th year and are responsible for the enforcement of Grand Dragon and General Counsel of Klan Will Seek Enactment of New LavC Would Stop Flogging. Enactment of a law making it a fel ony, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years, for any pelrsotf to as sume a disguise and thereafter inflict, offer of threaten violence or corporal injury to any human being, will be sought at the next session of the state legislature by Albert E. Hill, grand dragon and general counsel of the Klan in South Carolina, he announced yesterday. After such a law is enacted, Mr. Hill said, Klansmen of the state will ren der assistance jn prosecuting viola tors. “The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,” said Mr. Hill, “has always stood for law and order. It has never condoned mob violence, or lawlessness in any form. The Klan is composed of law- abiding citizens, who are arrayed on the side of law' enforcement and who practice law observance. “The remarkable growth of the or ganization and the personnel of its membership have made it one of the most powerful and influential agen cies in this state. In the past its in fluence, fostering high ideals of Amer ican citizenship, has been felt, and in the future it will continue to be used in a militant and positive opposition to lynchings, mob violence, anarchy, communism, bolshevism and to any at tempt on the part of any man or group of men who may wish to take the law in their own hands and sub stitute their own activities for the or derly processes of the law. “South Carolina is almost free from mob violence, and there has been a notable decrease in this form of law lessness since the Klan’s entrance into the state. The Klan proposes to lend its influence in support of those who er^l|i will have more than their share of work to do in Macon. The work of the line was all that could be wished for, the Deacons hav ing lost almost twice as much on line plays as they gained.'

Charley Wilson suffered the worst injury received in the Deacon game, a broken nose. “Pooley” Blake lost one or two teeth in the fray. There were a >few other injuries, but none were enough to put a damper on the pep, spirit, or hope of the Hosemen.

It threatens football, j ' “Other hindrances are that coaches demand too much time from other college work; the insane desire to win, which causes dishonesty in securing! players, thus working untold injury to the boy who sells himself and so cannot play for the love of the game and his alma mater.” In this connection Doctor Phillips j paid tribute to Presbyterian college | and Coach Walter Johnsop, who, he { said, represented the right type ofj athletic director. r^-T ] “’ ) Athletics,” he continued, “carries; an appeal because of its opportunity i for self-instruction.

RHEUMATISM “As the spokesman for the Klan in South Carolina, I shall ask for the en actment of such a law by the legisla ture at its next session. The Klan wlil lend its support to the passage of such a bill, and after it becomes a law Klansmen will render every possible assistance in prosecuting violators of this law’. Knowing the high personnel of the membership in this state, I do not believe that any Klansman will be found violating such a law. Bu.t in the event that a member of this organiza- j tioa should- participate in any such ^ outrage, the South Carolina organiza tion w’ill co-operate in prosecuting him vigorously and promptly in the courts, and will also visit upon him the penal ty of expulsion.” It will be recalled that Mr. Hill was solicitor of the Seventh judicial cir cuit in 1913, when a mob gathered around the Spartanburg county jail, dynamiting the walls and gates in an attempt to take away a negro being held for rape.

ELLIS REAL ESTATE AND INSURANCE Johnson’s Blue Stocking Team Now Working Hard for Saturday’s Game In Macon. In good spirits after their victory over Wake Forest, the Blue Stockings went through a snappy limbering up exercise and signal drill Monday af ternoon. Interest in the Presbyterian camp now points to the game with the i Mercer Bears in Macon next Satur-1 day, which is expected to be one of the; most important games of the season, it having direct bearing upon P. C/s S. I. A. A. standing. ~ The Wake Forest game was some what of an upset to the old dope buck et. Those who conceded P. C. a vic tory in advance did so on the suppo sition that the Blue Stockings’ aerial attack would take over the wincing tally. The running attack was rated not so highly. However, the Calvinists completely reversed the situation. On ly three passes were attempted. All gains and touchdowns were made via line thrusts and end runs. The Stamps- Wilson pair, famous all over the South as a passing combination, ektablishad a new name for itself “as two of the greatest running backs this state (North Carolina) has seen in many a moon.” “Little” Moore, playing his first varsity game against a college team, mounted into the football spot light. “Brick” Owens, the other half back, silent but salient, rounds out the all-star backfield combination. A great deal of credit is due “The Gold Dust Twins,” Stevens And Tim mons, and Blalock and Wertz, who re lieved them, for them spleiidid work on the flanks. The Deacons gained only 19 yards around ends, and lost twice as much. The brilliant end runs of “Phony” Smith, stellar Mercer halfback, against Furman last Satur day* seems to indicate that the P.
