THE CALHOUN FAMILY

Friends in Anderson of Col John
c. Calhoun, of New York City, will
be Interested, says the Anderson In
telligencer, in the report that his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mabel Sny-
der Calhoun. has brought suit
against him for 100000 for the
alienation of her husbands affec-
tions and also suit against her young
husband for separation, alimony and
whole lot of other things. The At
lanta Georgian of Yesterday carried
the affair, together with large photo
of the young Mrs. Calhoun, a dashing
looking youg woman:
"The John c.. Calhoun family, as
we'll known in Atlanta as it is in
South Carolina and in the neighbor-
hood of Broad and Wall streets, New
York has come another matrimonial
cropper.
"This time it is James c., who is
in the divorce court. His wife is
blue-eyed and golden-haired, and
has the other qualifications which
go to make a stunning show girl,
the which she was in Ziegfield's Fol-
lies. Her name was Mabel yes,
Mabel Snyder.
Mrs. Mabel Snyder Calhoun is
suing her husband for separation and
incidentally 5000 a week alimony; to
say nothing OF several thousand dol
lars attorneys fee. She is also suing
her father-in-law John C. Calhoun,
for 100000 for alienation of her hus-
bands affections.
Il was stage girl and that was
too much for John C. Calhoun, my
father-in-law," says Mabel. "He
couldn't bear to have it said that his
son married an actress. That's the
sum and substance of it. My, are ac-
tresses so dreadful? Really he'd
the family.
"Young Calhoun,s father is a
wealthy financier who has accumulat-
ed fortune in railroad promotion in
the south, grandson of John Cald-
we'll Calhoun, once vice-president, of
the United States, and a brother of
Patrick Calhoun, once a noted figure
in Atlanta, and later in San Francis
co. He married Linnie Adams, grand
niece of Richard M. Johnsol, also a
former vice-president of the Unittd
States. Served through the Civil War
and afterward became a planter and
financier. He was a special ambas-
sador to France in 1897 and has acted
las president and director of many
southern railroads.
"Atlantans still remember the mar
riage of another of the younger Cal
houns here. John G.. Calhoun. Jr.,
welded the beautiful Mamie Martin
at midnight at the Georgia Terrace
hotel in November, 1913. A year
later he started action against her,
alleging. that she had neglected to
lget divorce from one Benjamin r.

DO NOT PULL FODDER.
Serious Injury to Corn Crop from this
Southern Farm Practice.

SOutnern rarm Practlce.
Clemson College, Aug. 9-One of
the most costly mistakes of Southern
farmers is fodder pulling. Pulling
fodder not only reduces the yield of
corn but also seriously injuries the vi
tality of the seed for the following
year.
Experiments conducted in South
Carolina on the Coker farm in ID arl-
ington County, proved that when fod-
der was pulled when the bottom leaves
began to turn there was loss of at
least "a per cent. in the yield of corn.
II pulled when three-fourths of the
leaves were dry, the decrease in yield
was about 10 per cent.
But this is not the only loss from
fodder-pulling. Pulling fodder has a
serious effect upon the next years
crop by lowering the vitality of the
seed produced on stalks from which
fodder is pulled. By pulling fodder,
therefore, a man not only loses on his
current crop, but also damages his
chances of producing a good crop the
following year.
A good authority on the subject ad-
vises that farmer feels he must
pull fodder, he should leave at least
two or three acres Of his crop unpull-
ed and from this select his feed corn.
In this way he can keep up the quality
of his seed and not suffer the second
loss from fodder pulling, that which
through planting inferior seed.
