DRUNkARD
SAYS WIFE
son OF "PITCHFORK" SENATOR
WANTS CHILDREN FROM
WIFE HE DIVORCED

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 27.-The
struggle of B. R. Tillman jr., son of
United States Senator Tillman, to OBJ
tain the custody of his two little girls
from his divorced wife, Mrs. Lucy
Dugas, reached climax when his
petition and the answer of Mrs. Dugas
were heard before the supreme court
today.
Mrs. Dugas alleged her former hus-
band is still a drunkard and that he
pretends reform solely to bolster up
his fight to regain possession of the
children.
Tillman is given until Monday to
rebut this.
In his petition young Tillman adj
mits that he has been a drunkard
"even going to the gutter" but says
he has reformed. He declares the
political situation in South Carolina
had much to do with the troubles of
himself and wife. the family of the
latter being 'aristocrats and hostile
to the Tillman faction"
In one letter, Tillman wrote to her:
at was fatal idea you planted in
my brain when you expressed a will
ingness to ruin my father in politics
From the first your royal blood and
queenly imperious nature have kept
me doubtful of being able to fill your
life, and / confess | have failed.
haven't taken drink since November
1908"
The reply of the mother is very
lengthy. She asserts Tillman is still
drunkard and presents affidavits te
prove he was drunk only short time
ago.

giving greetings to the stork for that
fine baby boy that arrived at Mercy
hospital few days ago. Mrs. Wal
ters was formerly Miss Hilda Peter
son so on the distaff side the new
conner is grandson of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. L. Peterson of Junction creek.
Speaking of the grandparents we are
reliably informed that the pride in
the new arrival is not confined to the
father. Indeed, those who have made
the little fellows acquaintance think
he is worthy of all the admiration that
he is receiving. Here's hoping that
he may always remain n joy to the

section crew which make their head
quarters in the vicinity of Dix station
were returning via a hand car from
Gina Junction the car, which was GO
ing at rapid rate, left the rails and
all on board were hurled over the

to suffer injuries, but his are of a
most painful nature. His left leg is
broken and he is badly bruised. The
railroad company sent special out
to the scene of the accident at once,
and the injured men was brought to
