Organization of the revived Ku Klux Klan which be gan several months ago in Georgia and has since that time spread into several southern states, is now under way in North Carolina, it was learn ed from an authoritative source co day. The klan that so recently sprang into existence and which came as a surprise throughout the United Stales when announcement was made is not the old order but it has many of the tenets of the organiza tion which gave protection to the womanhooa of the south immediately following the Civil war and during tconstructitn days. The revived or der is nown as the Knights of the Ku Klu:c Klan and is said to have been started by an ordained minister in a Georgia city. Amon other things the new klan, which is of course a secret organiza tion, stakes its faith in Americanism and stanJs tor iaiv anu oraer auu iui upholding the laws of the State and the constitution cf the United States. Just how rapidly the order win D3 accepted in North Carolina is net known but the opinion has been freely expressed following the an nouncement several weeks ago that reorganization was under way that Tar Heels would, if given the oppor tuity, flock to the standard of the ''flaming cross" by the hundreds. The first attempt at organization will be made in Raleigh and from this city every county will be visitej within i vorv short time. Details of' the plan of organization cannot be printed since they are not known and will not be until the klan i,s established in this state. When that ia drinp its members are sworn to secrecy and they will not divulge any secrets. BASEBALL MEN MEET By the Associated Press. .

SUSPEND AMATEUR BARBERS FROM FLORIDA UNIVERSITY By the Associated Press. N. Y., Dec. ll.-i-Little Samuel R--cschewski, Polish chess wonder of S and one-half years who has defeated the most formidable masters ' of the checkered r qua re wher ever the game is played in Europe, and who is fu! filingr a two months engagement de monstrating his skill to American experts, has been in "training quar ters" in the countrv near New Yen: most cf the time since he arrived in ! this country. j I he child prodigy explains, through a staif of interpreters who translate successively from the youngster's Polish into French or German and thence, finally into English that a chess player's training- differs ma terially from that undertaken by champions in other lines when t'hey put themselves into combat form. In clearing his intellectual deck-; for action, young Samuel does every thing's else within the juvenile ca pacity except play chess Thus he is able to appear fresh and with an un burdened brain when called upon to match tactics with his opponents, whom he habitually takes cn fifteen to thrty at a time. So, in anticipation of a spirited tilt with some of the nation's foremost champiciio, the youngster is running the gamut of youthful activity from playing Indian or chasing cottontails in the fields to operating a miniaturo railroad system and braving the dan ger of being soundly scolded by his elders should one of his toy locomo tives jump the tracks and mar the polished parlor floor. For young Samuel, away from a chess beard, to perform on which has been almost an obsession with him since the age of three, is a very normal .'-ort o;T little boy, rather shy and backward with the grownupj,; but with a taste for diversion out-of doors w'hich would have entitled him to place of honor among the associa tes of Tom Sawyer-, "Huck" Finn and ihe rest of the "gang," had he been an American and a. contemporary of that noted society. One of his favorite diversions since coming to America has been in learn ing to drive a new automobile acquir ed for his use. According to Samuel's father, who is a player noted for his skill in Polish chess circles, the boy first showed aptitude for the game at tho age of three when he was taught th? various moves of the chessmen. Af ter playing through only a few gam es the boy acquired such skill that his father was no longer any match for him. Thereafter his skill and fame in creased apace as, one by one, he met and oveicame the most formidable players of his native land and later cf the entire continent. During the war the youngster 13 said to have provided many an even ing's amusement for German officers at the expense of their fellows who were humiliated by the stripling in innumerable games at army head quarters. Speculation ch the source cf the boy's skill has brought most of those interested in him to no certain knowledge on the subject. He has a prodigious memory and delights in glancing at a board on which the men tare arranged as in a game part ly played, and then going back one, two or three years in his experience and telling the occasion and circum stances of his previous acquaintance wlitb tihe problem "presented.
