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

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

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

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.

Carlyle and His Home.
When the great writer Carlyle was
engaged to Miss Welsh the latter In
duced her mother to consent that Car
lyle should live with both of them and
share the advantage of an established
house and income. But Carlyle an
swered Miss Welsh's proposal by say
ing that two households could not live
as if they were one and that be would
never have any right enjoyment of bis
wife's company till she was "all his
own," adding that the moment he was
master of a bouse the first use' be
would make of it would be to slam
the door against nauseous Intruders.
Mint Tea For the Nervous.
Mint has many virtues and a few
vices. Well washed, the leaves pulled
from the stems, slightly mashed and

with cracked Ice and a tittle sugar In
It It cools and quleta the system gen

bowl Is kept closely covered until the
contents are cool, then strained, pour

The rocking stone of Tondil Is

world three miles from Tandll, a

Aires. The giant, mushroom shaped
quurtz bowlder stands upon the sum
mit of some picturesque hills, perhaps
a thousand feet In height. It weighs
over 700 tons and rocks In the wind

Yet this bowlder Is so firm that one of
the old dictators. Kossas by name,
once harnessed a thousand horses to
It and was unable to displace It. There

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. A lie is
troublesome and sets a man's inven
tion upon the rack, and one de
spicable trick needs a great many
more of the same kind to make it
good.
