K. for Tennessee' when the Ku Klux Klan was in lis prime and later served as "adjutant general to the supreme cyclop of the empire," General Forest. The circle was at first purely social and for the amusement of its mem bers. When the terror which its cos tumed parades Inflicted upon the negroes was appreciated, however, the members decided It would he an excellent thing to utilize their social activities and by working on the su perstition of the negroes and ignor ant whites frighten them Into behav ing themselves. Hy adopting the Greek equivalent, kuklos for "circle." the society came to be known as the Ku Klux. One of It members then suggested that an other "K" be added to the emblem of the club, which was "K. K.." so it was decided that henceforth the "circle" should be known as the Ku Klux Klan. The adoption of this name was decided upon in the winter of 185. The object of the Klan, according to Mr. Pearcy, was to protect the weak, the innocent and the defense less from the indignities, wrongs and outrages of the lawless, the violent nd the brutal: to relieve the injured and ihe oppressed: to succor the suff ering and the unfortunate, and es pecially the widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers. For four years the Klan and Its branches, which were established In virtually ail the southern stales, wag ed a campaign rtirilnst "carpet bag jrers" Hn(j "scallywags," these being the appellations given respeciively to those persons who hobnobbed with negroes and those "who possessed the itch of office and the salt rheum of radicalism." Then some unrepit -tentative mem ber of the Klan started to take re venge In the name of the Klan upon persons against whom they had a personal grievance. The stain of their pernicious activity was height ened by acts of lawlessness on the lart of outsiders who cloaked their depredations under theh name of the Klan. This resulted in the government legislating against the organization. Matters reached a crisis In February. 1869. when Oovernor Hrownlow of Tennessee proclaimed martial law In the slate in an effort to stamp out he Ku Klux. In a short while It was followed hy a proclamation from the "tinand Wizard of the Invisible Empire" (the official title of the Ku Klux Klan) to his subjects. This proclamation recited the leg islation directed against the Klan anu stated that the order had now In a large measur" accomplished the objects of Its existence. Ai a time vhen the civil law afforded inade quate protection to life and proper ty, when robbery and lawlessness of every description were unrebuked, when all the better elements of so ciety were In constant dread for the -safety of their property, persons and families, the Klan had afforded pro tection aiid security to many fire sides. Hui, greatly to the regret of all good citizens, the proclamation con tinued, some members of the Klan had violated positive orders, others, under ihe name and disguise of the ot ganlzatlon, had assumed to do acts of violence for which the Klan was lield responsible. The grand wizard h.o been Invested with the power to deteinilne questions of paramount importance to tiie interests of the or lei. Therefore, in the exercise of thai power, the grand wizard declar ed that the organization heretofore known as the Ku Klux Klan was dls Bclved and disbanded. And so the orcaniz ition, recollec tic lis of whii-h still occupy the lime light, came to nn end.
