Says Yanderbilt Unuiversity Belongs j: # to Methodists. At Nashville, Tenn., Chancellor John Allison Friday handed down his decision in the Vanderbilt University case, involving the right of the board of trustees to elect its own members. The decision was a sweeping one, in favor of the College of Bishops of the Methodist Church, South, as against the board of trustees' claim. The chancellor's find-i ings briefly follow: That the original charter was granted to representatives of various annual Methodist Conferences. That Yanderbilt University was founded by the Methodist church, South, and is now being largely maintained and t patronized by said church in the true sense. That the corporation brought into existence by agents of the original patronizing conference simply holds its title to the university and its property in trust. That the trustees of the university were never and are not now members of the corporation and do not hold and never have held the right to elect persons to fill va-1 cancies on the board. That the annual conferences having created the board of trustees, the right to fill vacancies in "the creature" was vested alone in the creator, the annual conferences, j which by appropriate action transferred the right elected N. E. Harris, f* 1 of Macon, Ga.; A. W.- Biggs,, of Memphis, Tenn.; and V. A. Bodbey, of Austin, Tex., to the board at the Asheville conference in 1910, who are entitled to their seats. That the College of Bishops constio hnorH of sunervision of the lutco a UVU1U w* W?*r v- . university and has the right jointly j with the board to elect officers and professors and prescribe the course of study and plan of government. That "Commadore" Cornelius Vanderbiit did not impose any conditions or reserve any of the rights or privileges. Prior to 1910 vancancies on the board had been filled by the board, and annual conferences and later the general conference through the board of education. The board of trustees alleges this was a voluntary concession on its part, to maintain intimate relations with the church. The position of the bishops is that the church established and is maintaining and patronizing the university of a "founder" in making his gifts to the university. The court in this connection paid a handsome tribute to Commodore Vanderbilt for his unselfish philanthropy. It is expected that the case will be appealed. An Original Ku Klux? John B. Kennedy's death last Friday at Lawrenceburg, Tenn., would have interest only for his relatives and acauaintances, but the statement made in obituary notices that he was the last survivor of the original Ku Klux Klan. This society, according to a book on the Klan published this year by Eyre Damer, of Alabama, was composed of six young men of Pulaski county, Tenn. That county, bv the way, continued to be the head quarters of the Klan, even when, as an interstate organization, under General Forrest, it had a membership of 550,000. The formation of the Klan in Tennessee was provoked by the corruption of the State government under "Parson" Brownlow. General Forrest testified before the congressional commission of inquiry, that the Klan in Tennessee was "in"* "* ? nv<roni*i<ltinTl + f\ lenaea as a ucicuouc offset the Union league," its chief purpose being "to protect ex-Confederates from extermination by Brownlow's militia" and to prevent the burning of residences, gristmills and cotton ginneries.?The State.

Fifth Candidate for Gubernatorial C Honors from Sumter. Sumter, Feb. 25.?A representative t of the News and Courier having g heard of Mr. R. I. Manning's prospective candidacy for the governor- . ship, interviewed him this morning, and received from him the following statement: t "Yes, I have decided to announce t my candidacy. I reached the con- _ elusion several months ago, that I would run for the governorship; but I did not wish to be premature in my announcement. "Since, however, several have al- ^ ready announced their candidacy, e and I fear that my further silence _ a may be misunderstood and may em- t barrass my friends, I have decided that I shall let it be authoritatively and definitely understood, that I shall _ run- 0 Sickles Known in Anderson. a All of this to-do of Mrs. Longstreet's to help old Dan Sickles out rj with his troubles with the State of New York has furnished amusement to the older people of this city who ^ have very vivid recollections of this j. man, and it is a safe bet that Mrs. q Longstreet will not gather very h much coin from this neck of the woods. a After Lee's surrender Old Dan ^ Sickles came to South Carolina and v was made military governor of the p State with headquarters in Charles- g ton. That was during the year 1866. a It was this man, while military gov- d ernor, who sent the negro garrison c to Anderson, and it was Sickles who was largely responsible for the court a martial of Crawford Keys, Elisha Bvjrum, Robert Keys and Stowers, of s Hart county, for the killing of five j. white union soldiers stationed at t Brown's ferry on the Savannah river. Q These five men were placed there to p guard cotton which the union sol- p diers claimed belonged to the federal ^ government, but, which as a matter of fact was the property of Mr. Stow- ^ ers who lived just across the river in p Georgia. t Crawford Keys and James Stowers f. were convicted in the court martial t and were condemned to die. Through ^ efforts exerted by influential friends 6 the sentences of these two gallant t men were commuted, and they were t ordered to Dry Tortugas for imprisonment. Later, through the efforts of p Thos. F. Bayard, senator from Delaware, who became interested in their j behalf, these men were released jthrough habeas corpus proceedings. 0 The negro troops sent to Anderson ^ ' CiAl-lAn -f V? r\ aMat* nDAnlD TIM 11 rP U V OltJMCO, LUC Uluci jjcvyiu .< . v g member, frequently divided them- p selves into squads and scoured the p country for Mance Jolly.
