Lanior University.
-Dr. C. 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

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

threatened to participate, In any act ot
violence or , :who 'was going armed,
,making demonstrations to the terror
of the peace of the community should
be arrested and committed to jail. 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.
I was unable to get In direct com
munication with Sheriff Roof of Lex
ington, but I have had a conference
with him today and lie assures ine that
he has .been vigilant and active in the
discharge of his duties. I did get a
message to him similar to the one
given Sheriff Ulelse." '
Says Wires Leaked
"It Is rather signifleant that in al
most every instance here I had occa
sionl to use either the telephone or
telegraph information as to the coi
teats of my conversation or message
