Ililt Will Seek Law Enactment in State Enactment of ? law making it ? felony, punishable by imprisonment for u term of years, tor any personl to assume a disguise and thereafter inflict, offer or threaten violence or I corporal injury to any human being,I will be sought at the next session ofl the State legislature by Albert E.I Hill, Grand Dragon and Generalj Counsel of the Klan in South Caro-I lina, he announced yesterday. After such a law is enacted, Mr.I Hill said, Klansmen of the State will 1 render assistance in prosecuting vio-1 lators. "The Knights of, the Ku Kluxj Klan," said Mr. Hill, "has always! stood for law and order. It haB 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 ob-1 servanoe. "The remarkable growth of the organization and the personnel of its membership have made it one of the most powerful and influential agencies in this State. In the past its influence, fostering high ideals J of American citizenship, has been] felt, and in the future it will con-j tinue to be used in a militant and positive opposition to lynchings, mob violence, anarchy, communism, bol-j shevism and to any attempt on the "part of any man or grbup of men who may wish to take the law in their own hands and substitute their own activities for the orderly processes of the law. I "South Carolina is almost freel from mob violence, and there has been a notable decrease in this form of lawlessness since the Klan's entrance into the State. The Klan proposes to lend its influence in support of those who are responsibli] for-the enforcement of the law, and! against all of those insidious and destructive forces which tend to undermine the foundations of constitutional government. "I favor the enactment of a law making it a felony, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years, for any person to assume a disguise and thereafter inflict, offer or threaten violence or corporal injury to any I human being. i I "As the spokesman for the Klan 1 in South Carolina, I shall ask for the l enactment' of such a law by the I Legislature at its next session. The Klan will lend its support to -i. the 1 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 dp, not believe that any Klansman will be found violating such a law. But in the event that a member of this organization should participate ' in any such outrage, the South Carolina ] organization will co-operate in prosecuting him vigorously and promptly ] in the courte, and will also visit upon him the penalty of expulsion." J It will be recalled that Mr. Hill was Solicitor of the Seventh Judi| sial Circuit in 1913, when a mob gathered around the Spartanburg I County jail, dynamiting the walls land gates in an attempt to take away J a negro being held for rape. Mr. Hill prepared a bill of indictment against thqse parties who were identified by the officers and ap| peared before the grand jury and I asked for a true bill. He prosecuted jthem and secured a conviction on | both counts.

An announcement was made through the loud speaker system, but it was lost in the uproar. Those who looked to the ring itself for some sign as to who won saw only a score of men there, with no indication of who was the champion.

An Open Letter to the Editor From the President of General Motors T -/ART SPRING I wrote you that my belief in the country newspaper had led us in General Motor! to1 decide to advertise our products togcther in^the small-city press of the country. The retdrns from the series of the messages recently published have justified that faith; and weT shall continue to advertise in your community through your newspaper this fall. It occurs to me, hoWever, that some of your readers may be asking: "What is General Motors?" and "Why is General Motors?" These are fair questions and I should like to ' answer them as.frankly as I can. General Motors was orguiized some years ago on the theory that a group of large companies, working together, could render a better service than th^y could separately. In this we / simply applied to industry a principle that is as old as civilisation as regards the human family hnd human progress. ? _ Original members of the General. Motofi family were feuick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oakland and Oldamobile, together with the DelcoLight Company and other well-known companies manufacturing automotive equipment. " By joining together their resources, we were able to establish great Research Laboratories, 4 a 1245-acrc Proving Ground and the GMAC Plan of credit purchase; to effect vast economies in purchase and manufacture and v distribution; to assure and maintainthcquality of every product in the General Motors family. Hsir the General Motors family principle proved itself in practice? The hest^ answer, I, think, is to compare the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile and today with the models of five or ten years ago. * , / . Then add Pontine, a General Motors creation. Add LaSalle, another General Motors creation. And then consider how General Motors has developed these cars into a complete line, within which any family may And a suitable quality car at the price it plans to pay: "A Car for Every Purse and Purpose." Another example is Frigidaire, the electric refrigerator. General Motors had the resources to spend millions to develop a satisfactory refrigerator, and then to apply to. its manu facture the same processes which have increased the utility and lowered the cost of the automobile. We believe that this record justifies General Motors as an economic institution. >ts products are quality products, first-of all. Their prices represent the economies of united effort passedon to the purchaser. In the last year one , in each three automobiles chosen by the public has been a General Motors car. The service Of^ Delco-Light electric plants hatf attended to more than a quarter million homes, while Frigidaire has become the worldlargest selling convenience of its kind. '. j We believe also that tjie values now offered in the current >Gerferal Motors products ' (which are listed below) prove anew that "many minds are better than opt" and that a family of companies, working together, can produce results which are decidedly in the public interest and of increasing benefit to the individual family. ?V?ry truly yours, Alfred P.
