We further find that these carpet bagger 1 ders have acquired such an influence over some of the un suspecting klansmen until they have actually been deceiv ed in beliveing that the leader of the carpet baggers is already a klansman. 7. We view with grea talarm the influence that is being exercised over loyal klansmen by the deceatful in ducements of the traitors to the klan and the propeganda that the carpet baggers are spreading in each of the towns in this state. 8. It has been brought to our attention that the Grand Dragon of this realm has been approached by the traitors to the organization as the representatives of the carpet baggers, and while we are reluctant to believe such a re port, we deem it our duty to observe our oath of allo lance and report this matter to klansmen in regular konnlave, and let them decide the truth of such a charge. 9. It has also been reported to your klokan that certain Exalted Cyclops of this realm have entered into the conspiracy with th ecarpet baggers, and under a heavy guard of disloyal klansmen certain members of the several klans have admitted into their konklaves certain carpet bagger leaders. When these leaders have been admitted into the regular konklaves they have been allowed to speak upon any subject they desired, and usually the subject is to justify their denunciation of the loyal mem bers of the klan and to eulogise the traitors through whom they are operating. We find several klans of the State in confusion and many loyal members of the organization have withdrawn from their respective klans and refuse to further affiliate with such traitors. 10. We respectfully submit one incident, which we stand ready to prove, that we anticipate will result in the de struction of the organization, to-wit: A certain traitor to the organization, whose guilt was proven to the satis faction of the klan, was banished from the order, and ‘ after being banished by a unanimous vote was allowed to again visit the same klan that banished him, and has been treated upon the same common level with loyal klansmen, since said banishment. We deem such conduct on the part of the terrors of the klan as high treason and a sufficent grounds for revocation of their charter. In consideration of the foregoing statements of facts we have reached the following conclusions: (a) First if the Grand Dragon and Terrors of this Realm and the Exalted Cyclope and Terrors of the sev- N. Y. EDUCATOR LANDS WORK OF MISS BERRY Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23—Professor Wm. C. Duncan, director of the fa mous Irving School at Tarrytown-On- Hudson, New York, has just paid a visit to the Berry School at Mount Berry, Ga. “No School in this country or Eu- rope has ever sent me away with greater inspiration than that which I received at Berry Schools.” declared Professor Duncan. “Miss Berry is doing a wonderful work, an unselfish work—a work that grows bigger and better from year to year. The poor boys and girls of the mountain and rural districts truly found the friend of friends in Miss Berry. She has provided them a school which is a credit to the educational wrold.” Authorities of the Berry Schools said today that the institution had been visited recently by several nationally known educators, all of whom praised the work of both teach ers and students. The student body now numbers 700, both boys and girls. Funds for the maintainance of the schools have been raised during the last few years largely through the personal solicitation of Miss Berry, the founder. Heart County to vote on $200,000 road bond issue, for improving high ways throughout county.

(b) If loyal klansmen’s rights are to be disregarded by their fellow klansmen for the sake of securing the ap pointment to a Federal Office then we say that the oath of Fidelity and clanishness is but an empty name, and membership in the organization is nothing but a matter of form. (c) If the organization is to be used as a macu.nery under whose wheels loyal klansmen’s rights ate to be crushed and upon whose back certain carpet hungers must ride at the expence and injury of loyal klatt.men, then we say that the great principles for which • are sworn to defend and espouse have been trampled t riath the mud, and a stigma placed thereon that time can not remove. Inview of the foregoing conclusions and statements of fact?, we your klokan respectfully submit the foil-owing recomendations: .1 That the Grand Dragon of this realm be removed from office together with all of his Terrors. 2. That upon assumption of office by the enewly electee Grand Dragon that every Exalted Cyclop and his ter rors of the several Klans within the State who hav< proven traitors to the order be removed from office ans every disloyal klansman holding membership herein be banished from the organization. 3. That no carpet bagger nor any man in sympthej with them be admitted to membership or allowed to sit in any konklave. All of which is respectfully submitted, (Signed) The Klokan. Upon the reading of the above report the Grand Drago: and his Terrors vacated their respective stations, and tl Klan went into the election of officers. A new Gran' Dragon and Terrors were elected. After the election the recomenu d.ons of the Kiokan was considered, and upor. motion the members of the Tribunal was selected, and th members against whom charges had been preferred wei p aced upon trial. When the case against the Gran Dragon and His Terrors were called it was ascertains that they had sneaked out under the cover of the dark ness and disappeared. The trial proceeded, and each and every member of the klan against whom charges had beei A proclamation was then sent to each subordinate Klar preferred were unanimously banished from the Klan, within the jurisdiction of the Realm commanding the tria’ of each traitor of the respective Klans. Upon receipt o: a copy of this proclamation each disloyal member wa placed upon trial before the Tribunal of their respective clans, and every disloyal member of the organization v. banished therefrom. The traitors to the Klan having been banished nev material gradually was received in the Klan over th entire State, and the work of reconstructing a ruineu South was again resumed, and law and order was restore throughout the State of North Carolina, This work of restoring order continued until all carpi baggers were ousted from office and true and loy southern men were elected to fill their places. a resolution was adopted at the next regular Klqnla The object of the organization having been accomplish^, dissolving the organization. This resolution was unan mously adopted, and thus ceased to exist one of the great est organization that ever functioned in the South. CROP DIVERSIFACTION RESTOES SOUTH GA. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 24.—The diver sity of interests, agricultural business and industrial, is necessary to the future development of Georgia, Presi dent. B. L. Bugg, of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway, said in a statement made public her; today. The railway, it was stated, is making every effort to find purchas ers for farms along its lines both in Georgia and Alabama, as announces । recently in a sypecial offer to lane; owners. “South Georgia is in a prosperous condition because of the success oi her farm crops and the ready market offered for agricultural products,” said Colonel Bugg. “The only way the weevil was met and conquered, and prosperity restor ed to the section, has been through a diversification of crops. PProper diversification means' the planting of a multiplicity of crops. This program should be extended to the business field as well as to agriculture. The same principles hold good in the in dustrial world.” Baxley—Glenville investors will build 20-ton ice plant here. EYES I Scientifically Examined For Glasses W. N.
