October Busy Month For Alert Farmer Clemson, Oct. 2.?Besides the usual harvesting of the main crops there is plenty of important work to do in October, say extension specialists, making these timely suggestions: Agronomy?Start now saving stable manure for next year's crops. Plant winter cover crops to reduce loss of plant food and to add nitrogen. Plant oats early for best results. Sow rye early for Improvement of poor soils. Sow barley as a source of excellent feed and bow wheat as a source of food. Horticulture?Select varieties adapted to your section, and place order for fruit trees with a reliable nursery. Cut out all dead branches on fruit trees before the leaves drop. Thin out young turnips, beets, kale, spinach and lettuce, to hasten development. Gather green tomatoes Just before frost and store In a cool place; even half grown ones will ripen. Agricultural Engineering?Clean out grain drills and set to plant desired quantity of seed. Set grain drill hirrow-openers to run three Inches deep. This may prevent some winter-killing. Make arrangements to do more terracing during fall and winter months. Check fireplaces, chimneys and fines for needed repairs before cold weather Plant Diseases and Insect#?Treat small grain seed for kmnt, or plant smut-reslstant oats. Select sweet potato seed from diaeaae-free vines. Use paradichlorobenzene by October 10, in the Piedmont section and October 2<J, In other sections to control peach tree borer. Harvest corn early to reduce weevil infestation. Fumigate stored grain with carbon bisulfide. Kill plant lice on fan Tecetables with nicotine sulfate aad soap pray.

Black Says He Was Once Klan Member " - * ' ^ Wiuhin)!tQD, Oct. 1.?The text of the address tonight by Associate Justice Huge L. Rlack of the Bupreme Court: Indies and gentlemen: The Constitution is the supreme law of our country. 'I*he Dill of lllghts la the heart of the Constitution. The constitutional safeguard to complete liberty of religious belief Is a declaration of the greatest importance to the future Of America as a nation of freo people. Any move| mont or action by any group that threatens to bring about a result inconsistent with this unrestricted individual right Is a menace to freedom. l.ct me repeat: Any program, even if- directed by good Intention, which tendsto breed or revive religious diBCormNft* antagonism, can and may spread with such rapidity as to imperil this vital constitutional protection of one of the most sacred of human rights. I believe that no ordinary maneuver executed for political advantage would Justify a member of the Supreme Court In publicly discussing It* If, however, that maneyver threatens the existing peace and harmony between religious or racial groups in our country, the occasion is not an ordinary one. It is extraordinary. During my recent absence on a short vucatlon ubroad, a planned and concerted campaign was begun which fans the flames of prejudice and is calculated to create racial and religious hatred. ir continued, the Inevitable result will be the projection of religious beliefs Into a position of prime importance In political campaigns and to reinfect our social and business life with the poison of religious bigotry. It will bring the political religionist back intfl undeserved and perilous influence In affairs of government. It will elevate the least worthy to political positions because religion or race bars others from a password. It will resurrect practices and arguments from which this country suffered sorely in the nineteen twenties. It will revive the spirit which, In 1928, caused a national campaign to be waged largely upon issues unworthy of a free people. It will bankrupt many business men whose sole offense is that they have religious beliefs which do not accord with the prevailing religion in their communities. It will puniBh the professional man whose patients and jdlents boycott hirn, not because of lack of professional ability, but because there are in his locality few members of his faith or his race. It will again set neighbor against neighbor and turn old friends into new enemies. To contribute my part In averting such a catastrophe in this land dedicated to tolerance and freedom, I break with precedents of the past to talk with you tonight. An effort is being made to convince the people of America that J am intolerant, and that I am prejudiced against people of the Jewish and Catholic faiths, and against members of the negro race. These insinuations are advanced despite the fact that for the last eleven years, I have served in the senate of the-United States under constant and microscopic public scrutiny. My words and acts are a matter J of public record. I believe that my record as a senator refutes every implication of racial or religious intolerance. It shows that I was of that group of liberal senators who have consistently fought for the civil, economic and religious rites of all Americans, without regard to race or creed. The insinuations of racial and religious intolerance made concerning me are absed on the fact that I joined the Ku Klux Klan about fifteen years ago. I did Join the Klan. I later resigned. I never rejoined. What appeared then, or appears now, 4j\ the records of the organization, I dbvliot know. never have considered and I do not now consider the unsolicited card given to me shortly after my nomination to the Senate as a membership qf any kind in the Ku Klux Klan. I never used it. I did not even keep it. s Before becoming a senator I dropped the Klan. I have had nothing Whatever to do with it since that time. I. abandoned it. I completely discontinued any association with the organization. I have never resumed it and never expect to do so. At no meeting of any organization, social, political or fraternal, hare I ever Indicated the slightest departure from my steadfast faith In the unfettered right of every American to follow his conscience in matters of rang ion. 1 have no sympathy with any organisation or group which,1 anywhere or at any tjme, arrogates,to Itself the un-American power to Interfere In the slightest degree with complete religious fre'edom. No words have ever been or will ever be spoken by me, directly or Indirectly, Indicating that any native or foreign-born person in our free country should or could be restricted In his right to \ worship according to the dictates of his conscience. I have supported candidates for ppbllc office without j reference to their faith. In my endorsement of applicants for governmental positions, I have acted without) discrimination of any kind or character. t I number among my friends many members of the colored race. I have watched the progress of its members with sympathy and admiration. Certainly they are entitled to the full measure of protection accorded to the citizenship of our country by oilr constitution and our laws. Some of my best and most Intimate friends are Catholics and Jews. Shortly after I moved to Birmingham, more than a Quarter of a century ago, I formed one of the most valued friendships of my life with a son of Jewish faith. He was one of my closest associates and strongest political supporters. Months of our lives were spent together, much of the time in his home. He stood so nearly in the place of a father to me that while In the Army in 1918? I designated this trusted Jewish friend as sole executor of my will. In my campaigns for pub Uo office his counsel and assistance were always mine. His widow who was a guest in xny home at the recent inauguration of President Roosevelt was one of the first to congratulate ma upon my nomination to be a Jus* tlce of the Supreme CourtN When this statement Is ended my discussion of the question is closed. I believe the character and the oonduot of every public servant great and small, should he subject to the constant scrutiny of the people. This must be true if a*demoftraor serves its purpose. It is in this spirit that 1 now bid those who have been listening to me goodnight. CORONER'S JURY DECIDE3 LEXINGTON SHOOTING JU8TIFIED I^exlngton, Oct. 6.?Mrs. Emma Fal-, low, 65, was still In jail today although a coroner's jury had ruled she shot Colie S.
