The author of "The Clansman" has
repeatedly offered to forfeit a thousandl
dollars and withdraw the play from
the boards if any one can prove that
his picture of the historical conditions
in South Carolina in 1867 is not
strictly accurate. He says: "I went
to a mediocre theatre one day and
saw a presentation of "Uncle Tom's
Cabin,' which so cruelly libels the
white people of the south. I 'deter.
mined to put the other side of the sit
nation before the American public and
I think I have succeeded."
