PAGE TEN Southerners Laughing KKK To Death CHICAGO (ANP) "The KKK isn’t what it use to be,” says Wash ington Post reporter Bern Price In September Negro Digest, “because Southern Whites and Negroes alike are laughing the hood-and-sheeters out of existence. Reporting on recent Klan capers which were jeered into nothingness, Price reports: "During the Klan parade through the colored district of Gainesville, Georgia, a Negro woman shouted from her porch rocking chair, 'Send us your sheets, White folks, we’ll wash 'em.’ - All of the watchers laughed and a flock of Negro child ren fell in behind the parade drumm ing loudly on tin paps." As an example of the growing derision Whites are heaping on the Klan, reporter Price relates this Co lumbia, S. C. incident in the Negro Digest story: “Grand Dragon, Dr. Samuel Green told a crowd of Klansmen and cur ious that unless ‘White supremacy is maintained, the day will come when a black buck Negro may ask for your daughter’s hand in mar riage.’ “A voice on the edge of the crowd drawled, ‘well, she can always say no, can’t she?” Price concludes: ‘‘After this a stink bomb was thrown into the midst of the Klu Kluxers and police broke up the meeting.” Admitted To Denver Chamber Os Commerce T ’ DENVER, Colo.
