Mr. TRERLETTERBRAItOS WIS B HI Senior Senator, However, Denies Statements in Document Be ing Shown by Hardwick ATLANTA, Sept. B.—Politicians here are discussing today a nex.s story sent out from Atlanta last night by John W. Hammond con taining tr.e statement that “the whole State of Georgia is interest eo in a letter purporting to show that Senator W. J. Harris is a member of the Invisible Empire, of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which, it is reported, is being shown by former Senator Hardwick’s cam paigners in various parts of the State.” The letter, it is stated in the Hammond story, was shown Satur day at a mass meeting in Gaines ville, with the name of the exalted cyclops to whom it had been ad dressed deleted. The text of the letter as given by Hammond fol lows: “Atlanta, Ga., Haynes Building, “March 16, 1922. E. C. “Cedartown Klan, No. 21, “Cedartown, Georgia. “My dear Klansman: “Replying to your inquiry of the 10th inst., beg to advise that Hon. W. J. Harris, A. K. I. A., is our devoted friend and should bo given every consideration possible, the matter to which you refer, will be given the most careful attention at once, upon receipt of reports in question will advise you further. “Mr. F. L. Savage will immedi ately see that this mitter is dis posed of without delay. “Very truly yours, “ELIZABETH TYLER.” Hardwick speakers who display ed the missive it was said here to day, explained the mysterious let ters “A. K. I. A.” which appear after the name of Senator Harris therein to mean “A Klansman I Am.’’ The charge that he is a Klans man is denied emphatically by friends of Senator Harris, who him self declared when informed of tne Tyler letter: “I have never seen or met Eliza beth Tyler.” “I have never writ ten her a line, or received one from her. As for F. L. Savage, whose name is mentioned, I have never heard of or from him, or seen him. people of Georgia under stand and members of the Ku Klux Klan know that p am not now, nor have ever been a member of the organization or affiliated with it'. I have been informed by men who say they are members, that they approve nty work to restrict ini 'migration, which work began prior to the exisence of the organization. As is well-known, my record on immigration is approved by the American Legion and at least 98 per cent of the people of Georgia. I am surprised that Mr. Hard wick would stoop so low as to read and circulate in the closing hours ot his campaign, an alleged letter upon which he deliberately places a ialse interpretation.” WINDSOR PBfflMW CMNGFS DIMS Drew Brothers of Preston, Have Purchased Entire Stock, Fixtures, Etc.

The family record, scrip tural notations, and a sermon out line found in the book are in the handwriting of the noted divine. A peculiar interest about Jesse Mercer’s second wife. Mrs. Nancy Simons Mercer, whose record is in the old Bible, is the fact that she was the widow of a Jew Abram Simons, and with money she in herited from her Jewish husband, Mercer founded the Baptist college. The Mercer family lived in what is now Wilkes County, Georgia, Pen field being the first site of the university.

Itt is a curious and terrible evpc rience that they have begun, quite suddenly, to realize, and there are observers who believ the thing ma;.' madden them. The feeling of death, the feel ing of having already passed away from all that means life, of having passed into a fantastic region where neither friends nor relative: nor love can penetrate—-that feci ing, in which there may be an un bearable “thrill,” has come to the two young thrill hunters, Loeb studies the sensation, his guards say—tries to analyze it. He said to a guard: “This is the worst hell of all. It was (better in court, even whil.e frowe was doing his worst. But we were still alive then. People 'Were interested in us. Lawyers were fighting for us. “Among the spectators wc could see faces that were compassionate as well as faces that were bitter and harsh. But now wc seem to be dead.

Leopold, thc frozen man of a little while ago, is quivering with hopeless eagerness now. He tries to make friends with the cheap thief who shares his cell. “I want to live, to live, to live! That’s all—just live,” the killer says. “I thought I didn’t —but i do.” A pitiful thing has been arrang ed—two, in fact. On the 10th of eptember, when the sentence is read, Allan Loeb will, be in court. His duty will be to telephone the news to Charlevoix, Mich., where his parents are. If itisgoodnews— any thing less than the gallows— Allan will speak directly to hi? mother. If it is bad—ho will not. Ami this is the other arrange ment—in the case of Leopold. There will be no telephoning. The bent old man who 20 years ago looked proudly into a cradle and said, “This shall be Nathan, Jr.,” that crushed old man who listened to every word of .the trial, will not re treat to the telephone of the finale. If the sentence of the court in cludes the words, “hanged by the neck—” They will he heard by Nathan the father as well as Nathan the so?.
