TENNESSEE LIKE KUKLUX PERIOD Governor Patterson's Campaign Recalls Klan's Activities. FOUNDER TELLS THE STORY. Captain John Watson Morton Assert 8outh's Famous Night Riders Ware Outcome of Medical School Prank. Slew Few Men Despite Charge. Defied Troops In Laat Parade. The present political campaign in Tennessee, engendered largely by the personality of Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, has caused a hotter condi tion of affairs than during the recon struction days, according to Captain John Watson Morton, the founder and organizer of the Kuklux Klan1. the dreaded "Invisible empire," the very name of which spread terror over the south In the days following the civil war. During the war he was chief of artillery for General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the Confederate cavalry lead er, and he was twice elected secretary of state of Tennessee. "There Isn't a man, woman or child, l believe. In Tennessee today who could be called a noncombatant in the political fight." Bald Captain Morton, 'and It's all on account of Governor Patterson. He's one of the most re markable men certainly the most re mnrknble politician that Tennessee has known since Bob Taylor, now a senator. Addled his way into the guber natorial chair and beat bis Republican brother, Alf. Some northern editor the other day called Patterson the 'Ten nessee gamecock,' and 1 tell you, sir, he surely hit it right" Kuklux Start In Jeit "How did you happen to start the Kuklux?" Captain Morton was asked. "Oh. that's an old story," he said. 'I went to a medical college after the surrender, and it was started as an as sociation of college boys for playing mysterious pranks down in Pulaski That way in .May, 1800, and pretty soon, because of our scary costumes we wore long white robes, and (all peaked caps with holes for our eyes the rumor started that we had organ ized to check Republican domination. Well, -of course, the bad blacks and the carpetbaggers and scalawags were giving us a lot of trouble In those days, and the Idea of the klan appeared so plausible to the disfranchised Confed erates that it crystallized in Nashville In 1807. Our sole idea was to sup press the plundering blacks and law less whites. "We called the whole the Invisible empire.' The states were "realms.' the congressional districts 'dominions,' counties 'provinces' and cities 'dens.' The supreme ruler was the 'grand wiz ard,' and there were 'grand dragons,' titans,' 'giants' and 'cyclops.' "I was made the grand cyclops of Nashville, and one day I met General Forrest on Church street, near the Maxwell House. 'John,' be says, 'I've beard of this Kuklux, and I've come here to Join it.' We had to keep pretty quiet about It, so I hitched up my bug gy, took blm a long way out of town and said. 'General, hold up your right band,' and he did, and I gave him the oath. . " 'John,' - he said when he was through, 'that was the worst swearing I've ever done,' and, believe me. that was a compliment coming from him. 'Well, general,' 1 said, 'you come to room 10 in the Maxwell House tonight and you'U get some more,' and be did, and we soon after elected him grand wizard. ' , Slaying Were Few. In spite of all that was said of us the federal government offered all sorts of rewards for our capture we didn't do much killing. Of course If a black deserved banging be got it. But we mostly whipped 'em or run 'em away out of the locality or scared em good, and tbat was enough. "Most of 'em believed we were the han'ts of dead Confederates. Well. we'd call on one late at night, and when he'd come to the door we'd ask for a drink of water. " Sometimes he'd try to ran. but we generally got his cabin surrounded. He'd bring a bucket of water, and we'd stick out a skeleton band and make him tilt the bucket for us to drink. We bad a trick of pouring the whole bucketful down a tube, and when we were through we'd say, That's the best drink I've, bad since I was shot at Shllob.' That would come near being iiougb for him. i "Well, sir, we did about all we set out to do, and In February, 1800, we got the order to disband. But Gen eral Forrest told ns we must make a demonstration. So the word got' round tbat on a certain night the Ku klux would march through the town, and there was a lot of excitement and curiosity. There were 300 recon struction police and 300 metropolitan police Id Nashville -then, and tbey wore to kill or capture every clans man. Bnt we put on our sheets and addled our horses, and that night six teen of us paraded through Nashville by the silent crowds tbat lined the street. The metropolitan police didn't even try to atop us. They lined up In one place, but they parted and let na ride through." Jerry Rusk's Home Burned to firound Struck by Lightning Bolt During Fri day's Storm Contents Are Saved. The home of Jerry Rusk in the south part of Joseph, was struck by lightning Friday forenoon about 10:30 o clock and burned to the ground. Mr. and Mrs. Rusk were up on Prairie Creek at 4be time, but by prompt and hard work the neighbors succeeded In saving all the contents of the house, and 'the outbuildings. The loss is about ?1000, ,with no in surance. The same bo't of Itehtning shocked a number of people- inv Jo seph, knocking several down, but none was seriously hurt. Shingles were torn off several roofs. Two sons of Elzle Makln were near the oelephoiie line between the town. and lake, and saw a ball of fire as' largo as a man's head run, along the wire toward the lake. The rata came down. In torrents as if there had been a veritable cloud burst above the town. The Old English Prize Ring, In the lutter duys of tUe Buirlish prize ring Innumerable expedients bail to be devised to brlu off a tight. A favorite plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of two counties, so that the question of maulsterlal Jurisdiction might be rendered difficult Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot In the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Sayers aud Hetmnn lu 1SU0 a special train was run from Lon don bridge to a secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers, pick pockets, pugilists.- clergy and. It Is sa id. a few bishop, cheerfully took tickets simply marked "excursion." They presently found themselves near Farnborougb, In Surrey, where the fight occurred. London Chronicle.

TRUTH. Truth is always consistent with itself and needs nothing to help it out. It is always near at hand, sits upon our lips and is ready to drop out before we are aware.
