Lewis Fowler, former 'pastor of the Baptist church of Clinton, has been succeedd as president of Lanier University, near Atlanta, by Colonel William J. Siiimons, imperia, 'wizard of the Klu Klux Klan, according to ia news story in The Atlanta Constitu tion of August 20. Dr. 'Fowler is to retain his connection with the institu tion, giving way to the K. K. K. or ganizer on accouit of "strigency In the university's financial situation." The story from rhe Constitution fol lows: Announcement was made Thursday by lci 11. Sullivan, attorney, that Colonel Williai J. Simmons, imperial wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, has been eletled presilient ,of Ian ier university and that the university will be inune dhately enliarge( with a view to mak inl it one of the best in the South. The property cotisists of three acres of land containing three buildings. 0110 of which is completed and the otlier two of whicli are under course of monst i'uct ion. Attoriey Sullivan repreonited Colonel Simmons in the transaction. It was fuo rther annountced that a.11 trusItes will resigil as sootn as the imilerial wizard's oflice becomes ef fective. The last meeting of the trus tees was hl(1 Tuesday when Colonel Simnons was elected presideit to succeed )r. C. Lewis lFowler, wliose resiiation was acceptedi. It was btatei that elaborate plans for enlargement of the iiersity have beenl drawn by A. Ten Iyck - Blrown. Atlanta architect. The pres mut value of the institution, including the three acres of land surrounding it, is estimated at $100,000. The new management will assume charge of the scliool before its open ing in September. TUnier nliliversity lies betwNeeni ligh land avenue and Dru-id Htills section in the same neighborhood as 'lmory university. It was founded by mem hers of the Missionary laptist churCh. The elaborate plan of conlstruction originally called for was not carrtied out because of lack of funds and an indebtedness which faced the inlstiti tion soon after 'its organization. The trustees of the institution were iePl)reseited in the transact.ion by J. It. Smith and M. S. Rankin. 1In anionnicing the turni of affairs at Lanier university, Mr. Suillivan em phasized the point that Colonel Sim itions was elected by the ti rstces of the instittition "on accoulit of his wide acquaintaice as head of the K1t Klux K1an anld by reason of which lie witould lhe ill a position to raise money fori the on iv ersity.' lie also elhliasized the i'oinit that the Ku Klux Klan, While not taking over the university, isi don1; so in a man noer, sice, he declared. tihe n.me of Colonel Siimmonis "as become synony ,iouts with that of the Ku Klux Klan."

In Touch With Situation "There seems to be an idea, also, that the governor of the state cannot discharge the duties of his ofice un less he is at his desk, in the gove. nor's office In the state capitol. I wish to say .that I have been in constant and continuous touch with this whole situation, by telephone and telegraph from my temporary residence on Paris Mountain and have given the same Instruction and adv-ice that 'I would have given had I been in Co lumbia. It is neither customary nor alvisable, in my opinion, for the gov ernor to he personally in charge and Immediately on the scene of a dis turbance of this character. It fre quently happens that such an out break is threatened in a distant part of the state frn Columbia and I have never, known but one instance where the governor left his oflico to go to the scene of a trouble." "As soon as I was informed that there was a probable danger from an act of violence and that a mob was forming in Columbia, I commnu n icated with Sheriff Hleise and directed hi1n to use his entire prlice force and I would gi ve him addith 1.t al men if necessary, and that every person found in his county who was participating, or t An 01 When our I bought the< largest and I HE BC Tha We are not go for these Shirts put on Sale imi There isn't a Shirt high as $39 a doze pay you.

I am assured by Sheriff Holse that he has -been vigilant and has been unable to discover any threatened act of vio lence. He assures me that persons (rho were sul)posed to have 'gone .to AugusIta, Ga., and entered the jail there, left the city of Columbia quiet ly, and when he was informed of their departure, he notified the sheriff at Augusta, Ga.
