ALABAMA DIVORCE
VALID IN CAROLINA

Spartanburg, Sept. 29.-The valid
ity of a divorce was the issue in a
report of hearing before S. T. Lam
ham which was filed with the clerk
of court yesterday afternoon in the
case of w. j. Shirley VS.. J. C. Har-
ris. Shirley, who was known to be a
widower, married sister of Harris
and sold to Harris a tract of land,
for which part cash was paid and a
mortgage taken for the remainder.
Harris, subsequent to the. deal, learn
ed of a divorce secured by Shirley's
first wife, in Alabama, and there be-
ing no remuneration of dover, Harris
was unwilling to pay the mortgage
without the dover being renounced.
The principal issue in the case was
the validity of divorce, which was
granted to Shirley's first wife by the
court in the state OF Alabama sep
tember 8, 1890. After the divorce, as
it appears from the evidence, the
first Mrs. Shirley married again on
February "a, 1894, while Shirley
came to Spartanburg and married
Miss Emma J. Harris in February,
1907. The court says in conclusion:
"The constitution of the United
States provides that full (not some)
faith and credit shall be given to
judicial proceedings of other states.
This divorce is therefore to be taken
at its face value, and W. J. Shirley
was freed by it from the bond of
matrimony."

' CLEMSON ANSWERS
Shriveled Kernels of Pecans No
Caused By Mildew.

What causes the shriveling of the
kernels of the enclosed pecans? Is it
mildew?-S. w. c., Denmark.
The pecan nuts are heavily infect
ed with powdery mildew. However,
this disease is a surface disease only,
and does not ordinarily do serious
damage to the nuts. Affected nuts
NATURE normally, and usually the
infection disappears if dry weather
sets in. The failure of the kernels to
fill out properly is undoubtedly ow-
ing to some other cause, probably
some peculiarity of the variety or
some unfavorable outside condi-
ton.

HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS
TO CONGRESS LIBRARY

titled AN act making appropriations
for the legislative, executive and
judicial expenses of the Govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1904, and for other purposes,
approved February rs, 1903, hereby
ordered to be transferred from the
Department of State to the custody
of the Library of Congress, to be
there preserved and exhibited under
such rules and regulations as may
from time to time be prescribed by
the Librarian of Congress.
"This order is issued at the re-
quest of the Secretary of State, who
has no suitable place for the exhibi-
ton of these munments, and whose
building is believed to be not as safe
depository for them as the Ii
brary of Congress, and for the addi'
tional reason that it is desired to
satisfy the laudable wish of patri'
otic Americans to have an oppor.
tunity to see the original fundamen'
tai documents upon which rest their
independence and their Govern,
ment."
Secretary Hughes's letter to the
President recommending the trans
fer was accompanied by a brief his
tory of these documents.

Washington, Oct. Long In
peril of the State Department be-
cause of the hazards of fire and 9TH
er dangers, two historic American
documents-the Declaration of In:
dependence and the Constitution OF
the United States -henceforth will
be kept in the Library of Congress

Hughes wrote to President Harding
emphasizing the necessity Of remov'

Department, and the President has
signed an executive order authoriz'

State Department officials have
been worried often over the possible
fate of the Declaration and the Con-

memorandum to Congress asking fol
special steel fireproof cases but his
request was refused.

LIFE BELT FOR VIOLIN
Mans First Thought Is Danger Te
' Stradivarius.

London, Sept. 27.-To put a life
belt around the case containing his
famous Stradivarius was the first
thought of Jan Kubelik when the Os,
tend mail boat Jan Breydel, on
which he was a passenger, ran into
Norwegian sailing freighter yes
terday in the fog off Goodwin
Sands.
Describing his experiences today
the violinist explained that he values
his Stradivarius at $125,000, and
when travelling he keeps it always in
sight. With it's companion Guarneri-
US it lies in a padded wooden box
under a silken rose-colored cushion
embroidered in gold with the words
"Veni, vidi, vici." The box is carried
in leather case.
When the freighter loomed up in
the fog Kujbelik was sitting in his
deck cabin reading Balzac, with the
violin by his side.
'I stepped on deck" he said," and
saw small vessel only fifty yards
away. There was a big shock when
the collision came, but the people on
our boat were not thrown down and
there was no panic. The Jan Breydel
stopped and launched three boats. I
could not look at the steamer going
down and / turned my head away.
For such big thing there was very
little excitement, though lives were
lost. There would have been more
excitement, perhaps, berore the war,
but people are used to these things
and are not so sensitive about the
loss of lives.
81 felt calm. Something told me
nothing was going to happen to me.
did not think of myself. thought of
my violin. A man can move for him.
self, violin cannot.
Then Kubelik hurried to. his cabin
and fitted a life belt to his beloved
violin.
The sailing vessel sank in four
minutes after the collision with the
loss of eleven lives. Her Captain
sprang from the bridge with his wife
in one arm, baby in the other and
his young son clinging to his coat
His wife and baby were drowned,
but he and the other child were
| saved. .....

HANDLING PEANUTS
Growers Should Be Warned Against
~ Ca sless Harvesting .

Clemson College, Oct.-Last yeai
there was produced in South Carolina
100000 bushels of peanuts OF
which it is estimated that around 81
per cent. was marketed, the remand
er. being either hogged down OF
gathered and fed. This years esti.
mate on the production is 100000
bushels according to the report dat
ed Sept l by Mr.. B. B. Hare, Crop
Statistician of this state. The ma
jority of these peanuts are the White
Spanish and will be used by the pea
nut oil mills and shelling plants in
this state, North Carolina and Vir-
ginia.
Our growers should be warned
against the careless harvesting and
handling of peanuts, says. +. l..
Harkey, agent in marketing. Peanuts
for market should be cured in the
stack for at least three to five weeks
before picking, depending upon the
weather following harvesting. If the
weather is windy and dry, the curing
process will be rapid. Peanuts should
not be picked from the vines until
the pods have become dry and the
peas firm-except the immature ones
which will appear a bit shrunken. A
better grade of peanuts is secured If
picking is deferred until late au-
tumn. In order to insure bright
color of peanuts and prevent damage
by birds, all pods should be well pro-
tected in the stack. Otherwise, they
are likely to become discolored by
heavy fogs and driving rains and the
market value thereby decreased. AT
ter thrashing the peanuts should
never be exposed to water or damp
ness of any kind, which would dark
en- and discolor them. When proper
" cured they are covered with fine
dry dust, and if this becomes wet ii
adheres and forms brownish spots. II
peanuts when picked or thrasheo
show signs of dampness, they should
be spread on a floor or stored in
well ventilated building until thor,
oughly dry, most growers store them
in, cribs or corn houses, where they
can be kept in bulk until loaded in
the cars. If the pods have thoroughly
dried, they may be put into bags as
they come from the machine.
Before peanuts can find their way
to the consuming markets, they mus
be cleaned of stick, stems and othel
rubbish and assorted into grades
This is done by factory process
and in this state peanuts are shipped
direct to the mills without being
cleaned. The stock as it leaves the
farmers hands in uncleaned condi
tion is known as farmers stock,
and is sold at certain prices per ton
Twenty-four thousand pounds make
a carload.
No Federal grades have been adopt
ed for peanuts, but the grades adopt
ed by the Southeastern Peanu
Crushers' Association are used large
ly in Ais section. A copy of these
grades can be had by writing F. L
