are authorized to announce HON. JOHN E. RANKIN for re-election to Congress from the First Congressional District of Mis sissippi, subject to the action of the Democratic party. The Ku Klux Klan. Col.

J. CI. Camp delivered his lec ture explanatory of the principles, purposes and methods of the Ku Klux Klan in the auditorium of the City Hall last Saturday night. An audience of the representative citi zens, men and women, heard him. and sat two hours and twenty min utes rapt in interest as the Colonel made plain what the Klan stands for and the orderly manner in which it endeavors to maintain its high ideals.

Col. Camp was introduced by Hew M. F. Harmon, pastor of the Christian Church, who paid a glowing tribute to the Klan organiz ed by Gen. Forest and the Southern patriots, George, Walthall.

Lamar and that grand old hero of recon struction days. Dr. Kendrick. This Klan saved the civilization of the if not the whole country. Col Camp followed with the most elo quent and lucid address ever before delivered in this city.

Cards were distributed among the audience with the request that all who en dorsed the lecture vrite their names thereon and hand to him before leaving the hall. Nearlj every one in the audience responded as attested by the numerous cards handed in. It is needless to say, that judg ing from appearances, the Klan was generally endorsed by the large crowd present. It is currently rumored today that a large Klan is being or will be organized iu this city but who knows We publish below an article from the editorial columns of The Columbus Dispatch, which puts the O. K.

on the purposes of the Ku Klux organization, and at the'same time, gives some valuable hitsory as to the functioning of the old Klan during the days of reconstruction: "A friend asked, yesterday, "why don't you say something in the Dispatch against the Ku Klux Kan?" "Well, for one reason, we are not old, and we expect to see the day dawn when men who are now denouncing the Ku Klux will be raising their hands to Heaven and imploring God to send the Ku Klux, or an organization similar to it, to deliver them and their children from black supremacy, the boot leggers and certain other forms of outlawry that can only be reached and punished by secret means. "Where would the South be today had it not been for the old, original Ku Klux, whose first grand dragon was the famous Confederate cavalry leader. Nathan Bedford Forrest? "After the civil war the South was over run by Yankee carpetbaggers, who offered every form of insolence and insult to the white people of this section. The homes and farms of the people were sold for taxes and many times the purchasers were as black as the shade of hades. Offices were filled by black men who were no more qualified to discharge the duties that devolve upon them than a house cat.

Tbe beautiful commonwealth of Louisiana once had a negro lieutenant governor. The sheriffs in many counties and parishes were negro men. They crowded the legislative halls in some of the Southern states. The writer of these lines is only 40 years of age, yet he remembers seeing in his native state (Tennessee), numerous black and kinky beads in tbe legislature of the Volunteer State, negro men who could neither read nor write, helping to enact laws to govern members of the An-" glo-Saxon race. "The Ku Klux came on the scene, and conditions ehanged.

The black man receded and the rightful Tieirs of government" again took the reins in tteir hands. And there those reina must forever remain. "Putting uniforms on young negro men during tbe war, and placing them at the steering wheels of expensive 'automo- 41 What John C. Freund said i til t. iiK This illustration is from an actual photograph.

It shows Vasa Prihoda making his comparison test at Aeolian Hall, New York City, on October 16th, 1921. John C. Freund (seated right), who is Editor of Musicut America and President of the Musical Alliance of America, wrote Mr. Edison: "When the Prihoda recital was over, I was preseut at a tone-test in which Prihoda actual playing was compared with its Rs-Ceation by the Edison Phonograph. I was astounded to nr.d that I could not tell when Prihoda was playing or when your phonograph was playing.

SC3ID) A CD 'our greatest violmist Who won Mr. Edison's $10,000 7 Come in and get folder announcing Do you realize that the greatest vocal and instrumental performances are brought by the New Edison A visit to our store will disclose the surprising facts. Take the greatest violinist who records for the talking-machines. Compare him, as he sounds on the talking-machines, with Prihoda, as he sounds on the New Edison. You'll find that Prihoda is infinitely greater.

Why? Because Prihoda's playing is Re-Created by a phonograph so perfect that there is no difference between the artist's living performance and his RE-CREATED performance. This has been proven by the test of direct comparison, which no other phonograph or talking-machine can sustain. S.

biles, feeding them upon the kind of 'truck' that President Harding handed out at Birmingham, these and other things have puffed the negro to a point where he is about to forget that in the South a negro must keep a negro's place. "In this section, while there are many white men who drink moonshine whisky, the poison is made in most instances by negro men and sold by them or other negro men. The hearts of white women of our acquaintance in Columbus have been made sad the past week by men they loye coming home with booze on their breath that was made by a negro and secured for them by a negro. Black men making and selling "cat' is a menace to the South. The traffic must be driyen out, even if it takes the Knights of the" Ku Klux Klan to do it.

'Ve haven't a word to say agaist them so long as they continue to aid the officers in enforcing the laws, punish white brutes and black brutes, uphold the sanctity of the home and advocate a return to the old-time standards of pure living and sound morality." A Hellish Crime, The most heinous crime of which fiends are guilty, occurred about 10 miles north of Aberdeen Monday, when Willie Baker an 18 year old negro youth criminally assaulted the eix year old daughter of one of the most reputable white families of the county. The negro was told to pull a buggy to a shelter, and the little girl got in the buggy and rode down to the shelter. A negro cabin was near, and the negro carried the little girl to it. The screams of the child attracted the attention of its moth er and a friend, who went to the! scene and caught and held the negro until help arrived. The constable of that district started witb the negro for the jail, but was overcome by enraged and outraged citizens who took the negro from him and hung him to the limb of a China- berry tree, The sheriff was notified of the assault and started deputies to the scene, but before they could get hold of the prisoner the unwritten law of quick and certain death had been meted out to the fiend.

This is the second case where negroes have criminally assaulted white girl children in Monroe County. The punishment given was the same in both cases death by the rope route. As long as such crimes transpire in this county north, south, east or west, the fiend will die, and a mob will execute the penalty, County Agent Notes. I have received orders for about 1,500 bushels of whippoorwill peas at $1.75 per bushel f. o.

b. Aber deen and Amory. These peas must be put up in good strong bags and only clean, sound seed are wanted. Before bringing in any peas find out when they will be needed and j-ou can do this by calling me over either phone or by seeing or writing me. I will have several hundred good sacks on hand and the best thing to do is to get the 'sacks before bringing the peas in to ship, as all buyers are demanding 140 pounds flour bags or the same size of inside coffee bags.

The following prices are being paid for live poultry in New Orleans this week; hens 22 cents per pound and roosters 12 cents per pound.

The Mayfield Bill, which sought to divide Monroe County into two court districts, came up before the House Tuesday. The bill had first been unfavorably reported and failed of passage on a minority report last week. It was recommitted and came up again last Tuesday on a favorable report of the committee.

Mr. Mayfield plead for the bill; Mr. Kenned of Adams and Mr. Wat-kins of Mqnroe spoke against it, and showed reasons why Monroe County should not be divided into two court districts. The vote when taken showed 55 against to 35 for the bill, which, it is hoped, definitely settled the controversy.

J. Cheney Toledo, Ohio. Hope, Faith, Accident. A Minnesota farmer's wife, Mrs. Nels Kadick of Fulda, told the Senite agricultural committee of the hardships and poor financial returns of farm life and advocated the Ladd bill for government fixing of prices on agricultural products.

Farmers live bv hope, faith and accident," Mrs Radick told the com mittee. "We plow and sow in hope. live in faith and market by acci dent. The farmer, his wife and family got about five cents per hour for last year's work. Children on the farm are just vocal agricultural implements." The farmers do live by hope, faith and accident, and that their children are the vocal instruments through which they attain the accident is a deplorable fact and a fact which is due largely to the farmers themselves.

The farmers could have things otherwise if they were organized and led by intelligent direction, but they are not, and as long as they are not, present conditions will remain as they are, or worse.

Berry, who is in the city attending the Circuit Court, stated to the writer that the present court has the banner record for having fewer criminal cases than any other court held in this district during his incumbency in office covering a period of nearly seven years. This is a record of which every citizen of the county should feel proud, and is owing to the general good behavior of our citizens, and the uniform enforcement of the laws by county and municipal officers.
