* SIMMONS DEtBES
MANY CHARGES
4
Washington, Oct. ^2/?Sweeping denial
of charges that the Ku, Klux
Klan contained Within its tanks $ lawless
band of/ hooded hoodlums
made before a house committee today
by William J. Simmons of Atlanta,
its founder and imperial wizard.'
Turning squarely upon members
who had listened intently for nearly
# two hours to a dramatic defense of
the organization, Simmons declared
that "Standing here in the presence
of God," he wanted the world to know
that if one thousandth part of the
charges were true he would -forth
with call together the grand concilium
of the klan for the purpose of forev^i
disbanding it in every section of the
United States.
Called late in the day after-a truth-,
ber of negro witnesses ffom Bostoi.
and Chicago had ' urged a congressional
inquiry of the klan, the hp
, perial wizard, first ashing to be

preach respect for the law."
At times there was intense quiet in
the room and at one of these moments
the witness, rapping the table, declared
that no man could charge dis\
" order in any city where the klan was
well organized.
The klan, the witness testified, is
conducting an investigation of its
own into charges against Edward
Young Clarke, imperial kleagle and
head of the propagation bureau, and
Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, his assistant
and will issue art official statemen'
when it comes into possession of all
the facts.
Mr. Simmons also stated that wher
the charges were first made Clarke
ar.d Mrs. Tyler presented their res
ignations, to be acted upon after full
opportunity has been given for a thorough
sifting.
The revocation of charters at Pen-*
sacola, F!a., and Mobile, Ala., was
ordered by the klari. Mr. Simmons
testified, after it had been found thai
persons purporting to be member?
had violated its best traditions. Al
Pensacola three men wearing robe^
ordered a Greek to leave the city, but
it never was established, he said, that
they were klansmen and the chater
was restored on assurance by local of
fleers that they would keep up a relentless
fight to find the offenders.
The Mobile incident, Mr. Simmons
continued ,was due "to the silly action
of a member," who "imagined
he had the power of Napoleon" and
posted klan warnings "to bootlegger?
and others" that the organization was
\ preparing to clean up the town. The
notice was signed, he said, "by a
man who had no sense."
Discussing charges of violence on
the part of the alleged klansmen, Mr.
Simmons declared that when a member
took the law into his own hands
he automatically was dropped from
the organization. "And I have never
yet failed," he added, "to turn over
to the local authorities if I had it
any evidence needed to bring about
a conviction. I have been doing
a 1 i. J
inillKS in tutti/ uutctiuu ttnu jiv man
living can say that I personally or as
^ head of the klan ever attempted to
shield a criminal. A member's oath
requires him to uphold the law. The
ritual about which so many slanderous
things have t>een said is copyrighted
and filed these five years in
the* library of congress. Surely it
would not have been put then under
the eye of the government if we had
jU anything to conceal. There is nothing
in it but love of country end pure
Americanism."
"The World is the stronghold of the
Democratic newspaper and the Demo
cratic party and it has been said by
those in position to know that if The
World could by shrewd propaganda
and untruthful slanders, force a Republican
congress and administration
to throlle or destroy a purely loyal

friends and those who think as he
does the klan would at the polls years
from now forget party lines and preference
and vote the Democratic ticke t.
Referring to attacks on the klan by
Hearst newspapers, Mr. Simmons,
turning toward C. Anderson Wright,
a former Klansman, who wrote a series
of articles about the organization
said:
"Just .as Judas betrayed Christ for
30 pieces of silver so there was found
by the Hearst paper CL Anderson
Wright, a former klansman, who for
money betrayed hia oath. My information
is that the Hearst papers paid
this man $6,000 cash and $100 a week
as long as he worked on the stories
and also agreed to protect him from
any damage suits and other legal action
resulting from his libelous stories
the stories being false fnotu start to

?two hand-woven spreads 75 years *
old, a China sugar bought 100 years c
ago, and a small boys' waist beautifully
made by Mrs. J. M. Harrison's 1
grandmother 50 years ago. This waist *
was tucked by hand. The stitches sur- A
passed any machine stitching.
Thp girls' and women's exhibits at J
West Springs school house were
judged next. The club girls had beautiful
sewing and canning exhibits. As
the work of that club is based on sewing,
the articles placed oh exhibition i
showed the progress that they have
made this year from lesson to lesson.
It was perfectly splendid but special
mention should be made of Miss Forest
Lawson's work. She had 11 arti- i
cles in the exhibit from her first les- ]
son, a single sewing bag, up to a |
beautiful applique dress. * 1
The club girls' canned products
were good. Miss Kate Whitehead's <
exhibit was beautiful and Miss Mary j
Sue Holcomb deserves special mention
for her beautiful display of jelly, i
The ladies' pantry supply was also J
very good. They showed they were <
not idle during the fruit and vegetable
season. ' ;
It was unanimously agreed by the 1
judges that their garden and orchard
displays were the best that have been :
shown yet. They had fresh squash,
radishes, tomatoes, pimento, egg
plant, onions, cabbage, turnips, mustard,
lettuce, Irish and sweet potatoes,
peaches, grapes, pears, pomegranates,
etc. These were beautifully
arranged in baskets and tray:;,
\5hich made them very attractive.
The fancy work was beautiful and
welf arranged. The crochet and tatting
of Miss May Miller could not b?
surpassed at the state fair. She had
17 articles that were beautifully
made. There were three dresses mad3
by Miss Frieda Chaplin that deserve
special mention. They would do credit
to the best seamstress in the state.
The relics were interesting as well
? *- nni??? ?- ? kuwAAti
as ancient, mere was a uun-uu ovou
made by Mrs. Melissa McArthur in
1849. Mrs. McArthur picked and
ginned the cotton by hand, carded,
spun and wove the material. Thii
scarf is now owned by Mrs. Thrr.W!"
Posey. There were a counterpane and
quilt that was made by Mrs. Vivian
H. Graham's great-grandmother over
100 years ^go. She also inherited a
platter from her. This China platter
is 125 years old. It is well preserved
and beautiful. It is decorated with
King Cotton, showing every stage of
development from the square to the
fluffy cotton. Mrs. W. J. Bctsill had
a platter that was equally as inter*
esting. It was bought in 1836.
There were other relics too numerous
to mention.

High Army Officers
Reduced to Sad Plight
Berlin, Oct. 12.?The financial
plight of some former high army ofli
.->rs, who, deprived of government
pay which was their only income, hav<
been reduced to straitened circumstances
has caused a movement among
fi rmer soldiers to help them by donations
of sum rantrincr from live to 1(
marks. Only a few of the needy o(Ti
cers, however, have consent\ 1 to accept
such charity. Former Field
Marshal Conrad von Iloetzendorf do
dining a donation of 4,000 marks
wrote:
"I am not complaining, and feel I
have little cause to complain, when 1
think of the many wounded men wh<
have even less than I. This money
should go to help them."
Von Iloetzendorf and his wife are
living at Innsbruck, occupying a sma!.
room in which their meajs are pre
pared on an electric stove. The former
eld marshal's income amounts to
less than 1,200 German marks month
ly.
Many former high officers have
been compelled to leave Germany foi
Austria and Poland, where their German
marks have a greater purchasing
power. Others have taken low
salaried positions in the German provinces
where the cost of living is low.
Considerable sympathy for these
men recently has been manifest even
in liberal, socialist, radical and antimonarehistic
quarters, and the newspapers
have been advertising the
seriousness or rneir situation.

STATE LICENSES
MANY MACHINES
Figures compiled by the state h'gh
.vay department, motor vehicle liensQ
division, show that through
.September a total of 82,177 automobiles,
7,009 trucks, 52 trailers^ 753
motorcycles and 662 dealers have
>een ceilnsed in South Carolina so far
htis year. This is a few thousand
machines less than were licensed in
1920.
The figures were compiled for the
.nothtly meeting of the highway commission
which takes place next
Tuesday. One interesting fact
brought to light is that not hclf as
many dealers are now licensed as
were last year. In 1920 a total of
1,541 dealers were licensed and so
far this year only 662 have been licensed.
Receipts for the sale of 'ioenscs
have reached a total of $733,813.22
through September 30. Of thtis figure
$581,530.09 is returnable to va'
rious counties under the 80 per cent
clause. For the past quarter, July,
' August and September, the receipts
amounted to $23,556.94. Tho greater
portion of the revenue was received
during the first three months of the
year.
; In the accruals of license money
- hack to the count'es, Greenville still
' leads the state for the entire year
