HISTORICAL i TO CONGR Wadiington, Oct. 1.?Long in Pfltil of the State Department becsQse of the hazards of fire and other; dangers, two historic American documents?the Declaration of In* dependence and the Constitution of the United States?henceforth will he kept in the Library of Congress witere they may be seen. Secretary Hughes wrote to President Harding "emphasizing the necessity of removing the documents from the State Department, and the President has signed an executive order authorizing the transfer. State Department officials have been worried often over the possible fate of the Declaration and the Constitution. Former Secretary Bain, bridge Colby addressed a long memorandum to Congress asking for Special steel fireproof cases but his request was refused. The executive order signed by President Harding on the recommendation of Secretary Hughes reads: "The original engrossed Declaration of Independence and the original engrossed Constitution of the ...United States, now in the Department of State, are, (by authority pro. vided by the act of Congress en. HANDLING PEANUTS i Grower* Should Be Warned Against Ca eless Harvesting y ~ v Clemson College, Oct.?Last year there was produced in South Carolina 1,620,000 bushels of peanuts of which it is estimated that around 80 per cent, was marketed, the remaind-1 er being either hogged down i ori _ gathered and fed. Th's year's estimate on the production is 1,630,000 bushels according to the report dated Sept 1 by Mr. B. B. Hare, Crop Statistician of this state. The majority of these peanuts are the White Spanish and will be used by the peai nut oil mills and shelling plants in this state, North Carolina and Virginia. Our growers should be warned against the careless harvesting and handling of peanuts, says. F. L. Harkey, agent in marketing. Peanuts for market should be cured in the SU1CK 1UX it 1/ ICCVOC I4J11CC bV UfV T? VVU? 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 , frpm 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 autumn. In order to insure a bright color of peanuts and prevent damage by birds, all pods should be well protected in the stack. Otherwise, they are likely to become discolored by heavy fogs and driving rains and the market value thereby decreased. After thrashing the peanuts should nfever be exposed to water or dampness of any kind, which would darken and discolor them. When properly cured they are covered with a fine dry dust, and if this becomes wet it adheres and forms brownish spots. If peanuts' when picked or thrashed show signs of dampness, they should be spread on a floor or stored in a well ventilated building until thoroughly dry, most growers store them in cribs or cohi 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 must be cleaned of stick, stems and other rubbish and assorted into grades. This is done by a factory process, and in this state peanuts are shipped direct to the mills without being cleaned. The stock as it leaves the farmer's hands in uncleaned condition is known as "farmers' stock," and is sold at certain prices per ton. Twenty-four thousand pounds make a taiivau< No Federal grades have been adopted for peanuts, but the grades adopted by the Southeastern Peanut Crushers' Association are used largely in Qiis section. A copy of these grades can be had by writing F. L. Harkey, Agent in Marketing, Clemson College, S. C. About 7,000,000 families in this cojuntry own their own homes. DOCUMENTS ESS LIBRARY titled 'An act making appropriations for the legislative, executive and judicial expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, and for other purposes,' approved February 25, 1903, hereby ordered to be transferred from the . nt tVlA nistodv I i/cpai biuvuw vi vvw.v ? 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 request of the Secretary of State, who has no suitable place for the exhibition of these muniments, and whose buildng is believed to be not as safe a depository for them as the Library of Congress, and for the additional reason that it is desired to satisfy the laudable wish of patriotic Americans*to have an opportunity to see the original fundamental documents upon which rest their independence and their Government." Secretary Hughes's letter to the President recommending the transfer was accompanied by a brief history of these documents. LIFE BELT FOR VIOLIN Man's First Thought Is Danger To 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 Ostend mail -boat Jan Breydel, on I which he was a passenger, ran into a Norwegian sailing freighter yesterday in the fog off Goodwin Sands. Describing his experiences today the violinist esjplained that he values his Stradivarius at $125,000, and when traveling he keeps it always in sight. With its companion <Guarnerius 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 a leather case. * . When the freighter loomed up in the fog Kubelik was sitting in his deck cabin reading Balzac, with the violin by his side. "I stepped on deck," he said," and ksaw a small vessel ^itfy fifty yards away. There was a (big shock when the collision came, ibut 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 I turned my head away. For such a 'big thing there was very little excitement, though lives were lost. There would have been more excitement, perhaps, berore the war, Ijut people are used to these things and are not so sensitive about the loss of lives. * "I felt calm. Something told me nothing was going to happen to me. I did not think of myself. I thought of my violin. A man can move for himself, a violin cannot. Then Kubelik hurried to his cabin and fitted a life belt to ftfs 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, a 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 savfvT ?'

Is it mildew??S. W. C., Denmark. The pecan nuts are heavily infected with powdery mildew. However, this disease is a surface disease only, and does not ordinarily do serious damage to the nuts. Affected nuts mature, normally, and usually the infection disappears if dry weather sets in. The failure of the kernels to fill out properly, is undoubtedly owing to some other cause, probably some peculiarity of the variety or some unfavorable outside condition. V ALABAMA DIVORCE VALID IN CAROLINA | Spartanburg, Sept. 29.?The validity of a divorce was the issue in a report of a hearing before S. T. Lan^ ham which was filed with the clerk of court yesterday afternoon iYi the case of W. J. Shirley vs. J. C. Harj ris. Shirley, who was known to be a i widower, married a sister of Harris and sold to Harris a tract of land, for which part cash was paid and a mortgage taken ftfr the remainder. Harris, subsequent to the deal, learned of a divorce secured by Shirley's first wife, in Alabama, and there being no renunciation of dower, Harris was unwilling to pay the mortgage without the dower being renounced. .The "principal issue in the case was the validity of a divorce, which was granted to Shirley's first wife by the court in the state of Alabama September 8, 1890. After the divorce, as it appears from the evidence, the first Mrs. Shirley married again on February 24, 1894, while Shirley came to Spartanburg and married . Miss Emma J. Harris in February, 1907. VThe court says in conclusion: "The constitution* of the United ' States provides that full (not some) faith and credit shall be given to 1 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." SUMMONS. FOR RELIEF. (Complaint Served.)
