Calling upon the Ku Klux Klan to take definite action on the immorality which he declared was going on in Raleigh and of which he gave alleged instances, the Rev. Charles Hudson, of Southside Memorial Baptist church, said tonight in a sermon that he would not blame the Ku Klux Klan for taking a man out of an automobile and beating the hound out of him. The sermon was announced as Automobile, Women and the Ku Klux Klan, followed the singing of Let the Lower Lights be Burning, with the words changed to Let tihe Fiery Cross be an offertory by the choir. I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan, the preacher declared ir. opening his sermon.

I do not know anything about the Ku Klux Klan and therefore I can talk about it. But if the Ku Klux Klan is what it says if is, they can and must save the citizenship of this community. They must see to it that every scoundrel is brought to the law and punished for his crime. I believe that the law is willing and ready to do its part, but it is not able, be declared after be had cited several alleged instances of men committing and getting away with crime in Raleigh. The Ku Klux Klan, if properly-utilized, can save the day, where the preacher, the chureh and the law can not save it.

I invite you, if there are any of you here, to go to Lassiters Mill (a popular swimming hole) and you will see how many cars are parked by the side of the road. The roads around here are no longer decent places for men to take their famines to ride. I do call on the Ku Klux Klan, if they can help us, and I would not blame you if you should take a man out of an automobile and beat the hound out of him. The Ku Klux Klan can remedy this thing, and I call on them to do It. the community life will be discussed and community welfare willl be the AJincinnati, Ohio spend the summer vacation with his thought of the day.

After presenting these telegrams, Mr. Green suggests that even considering that this stuff was shipped a few days back on a somewhat higher market, it still shows the tremendous price the farmers are charged for getting their goods to the consumer. The remedy may lie in the farmers organizations in some way co-operating with city organizatons. The two must evidently work together for their mutual good. Louisiana has solved the marketing problem by demanding a fair casu price for strawberries at the car dour, and when commission men found that they had to deal with business men on a cash basis, they were quick to send buyers to the growers and competition between the buyers solved the marketing problem, is the statement of a prominent grower at jiiiiiiBiimimBBiiiiiiiaamiaBiiiiii (Copyright, 1924, Moss Feature Syndicate.)
