We have no disposition to under take a defuse of the Ku Klux Klan. No branch of the order exists here. We have no reason to believe that any citizen of the county is a mem ber. We doubt if the organization will ever obtain a foothold among our people. ' We observe some things about it ; which appear to be objectionable.! We do not like its parades of white- i clad horsemen. - .We see no reason whv the public should not know who are its members. But notwithstand ing these objections which come to our mind, we do think the campaign now being conducted against the Klan by the New York World and other papers should be carefully watched by our people. The WTorld is essentially a sensational news paper. Every once in a while it feels the need of conducting -some extra legal investigation of its own. It must needs put on some expose. In doing so it does not hesitate to per vert the facts, to misrepresent and to resort , to deliberate untruths. That the campaign increases its circulation is not "regarded by the World as be ing hurtful to itself.

The Klan replies that it is net anti anything; comes so intimately associated with destructive ideas that they leave a lasting mark upon it. Especially is 'this true of the young and those weak in mental development.

MARTHA CHANDLER On Saturday evening, Sept. 17th, Mrs. Martha Chandler passed peace fully and triumphantly awzy at the home of her daughter, Mrs. cam Wat kins, of 112 Main street Oxford, N. C. Mrs. Chandler had been failing in health ,f or about five years though not confined to her bed. Everything possible was done in treating her case to give relief. The finest specialists were consulted and she was treated in several hospitals and sptmt one winter in New York City with her son under the care of a noted physi cian, these giving only temporary re lief until it was determined that she had cancer of the stomach; death however was due to heartfailure. Mrs. Chandler was a daughter of the late Anderson and Sallie Overbey, who was one of the most prominent and influential families of the Buf falo Springs Community.. She was.i uni Ch were born eight children, six of whom are living: Mr. O. P. Chand ler, of Buffalo- Junction, Va.; Mrs. Sam Watkins of Oxford; Mr. Rom Ti Chandler of New York; Mrs. John R.
