modified. At that time it was state 1 ,
that new regulations would be issued
this season. Inspectors will be sent
to this section within a few weeks to
determine whether or not there has
been a spread of the disease.
Reports received in Moultrie show
that farmers as a rule carried out
the suggestions of the State Board of
Entomology and did not plan the
so-called green cane this season. It |
has had its far reaching effects in
deflating many invaluable movements.

the majority of the people awakened,

ment has been, made by William
Joseph Simmons, imperial wizard of I
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, to
the effect that at the meeting of im
perial kloncillium of the organization
held last week, it was unanimously
voted to admit women into member
ship in the Ku Klux Klan and the con
stitution of the order was amended to
read that the order from this time
forward should be composed of “male
and female persons” instead of “male”
sidewalks only as originally appeared in the
constitution of the organization.
“I am now at work preparing the
details concerning the admission at
women into the organization,” said
Colonel Simmons Saturday, “and
within the next two or three weeks
I will have the complete plans ready
for the admitting of women into the
organization.”
In announcing that women are to
be admitted to membership in the
order Colonel Simmons said this de
cision was based on three things:
First, the influence of woman over
the youth of the land shapes the desti
ny of the nation and it is in the
cradles of the American homes where
the principles and ideals of American
ism should first be instilled into the
minds and hearts of the young. To
the preservation of these principles,
ideals and institutions the Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan is dedicated.
“Second, the loyalty of the women
to the original klan of the recon
struction period convinces us that,
as members of the klan of today, there
will be equal loyalty and devotion to
the fundamental principles underlying
the order.
“Third, we know women can keep
a secret, because they made with
their fingers 160,000 robes for mem
bers of the old klan and not one
of them ever disclosed the identity of
any man who wore one of those
robes.
“It is through the influence of
women that today we have some pf
the strongest men in the order.
And the time has come to give the
women recognition and to allow them
to partake of the honor and glory of
membership in the organization.”
