DUGAS-TILLMAN COUNSEL HITCH
Disagree Regarding Custody of Two
Children.

Columbia, Dec 16.-The attorneys
for Mrs Lucy Pickens Dugas and B.
R. Tillman, Jr., being unable to equit-
ably adjust their differences as to the
disposal of Douschka Dugas Tillman
and Sara Stark Tillman, their young
daughters, submitted their proposals
Informally to the supreme court this
afternoon in an effort to reach set
tlement
The contending parties could not
agree as to the meaning Of the order
of the supreme court, as to when the
father was to have the children, and
also as to several other matters ger
name to their welfare.
Attorneys Confer.
At a conference held here to-day
between Henry c. Tillman, represent
ing B. R. Tillman, Jr., and A. G. De-
Pass, representing Mrs. Lucy Frances
Dugas, looking towards complying
with the order Of the supreme court
in the famous case, which was re-
Gently decided, when Tillman was
granted custody, at certain times, of
the two children, Tillman's attorneys
refused to grant Mrs. Dugas's request
that the father of the children con-
tribute 500 monthly towards their
support. Tillman also refused the
request of the mother that nurse
be allowed to accompany the children
when they are sent to the fathers
house to spend two months of the
summer vacation period and one
week at Christmas time. He asked
that the children be given him Christ
,mas day. In her request Mrs /Dugas
asked to be allowed to keep the chill
dren for Christmas day.
Former Wife's Ultimatum.
Replying to Tillman's request that
he be allowed to see his children at
all times when they might be i'll,
Mrs. Dugas, through her attorney,
said she would never allow the father
to enter her house under any circum-
stances whatsoever. The attorneys
were hardly able to agree on any
point.
In giving young Tillman the custo-
dy of his children at certain times,
the court ordered that the parties in
the action confer with each other in
regard to arranging the times that
the petitioner should see his chill
dren, the question of support, etc.
II. G. Tillman's Statement.
The following statement was made
tonight by Henry G. Tillman, attor-
ney for B. r. Tillman, Jr.
"You can say for me that any state
ment to the effect that Mr.. Tillman
refuses to support his children is in
correct Mr.. Tillman has always de-
sired and still desires and has always
tried to support his children in a
proper way. AS his attorney, 1 took
the position that the question of
support was not a proper subject Of
the order which the supreme court
asked the parties to agree upon, as
I did not want to put Mr.. Tillman in
the false position of being compelled,
by order of court, to do what he
wants to do and what he will do"

How to Keep Sick.

Eat any kind of food regardless of

Will Improve
Postal Service.

Even those who are most skeptical
in regard to President Tafts eleventh
hour conversion to civil service re-
form. will admit that his recent order
putting $4,000 fourth class postmasters
in the classified service, will have a
marked tendency to improve the pos
tai service.
The country postmaster used to be
considered a tremendous influence in
politics, but times have changed.
Hereafter the country postmasters
must show some fitness for their jobs.
few decades ago. such an act on
the part of a president would be con-
sidered revolutionary; today it excites
little comment. Except that this has
happened on the eve of a presidential
election that is almost sure to place
the Democrats in power, President
Taft's order would be almost univer-
sally commended. AS it is many peo-
pie will believe the president is ac-
tuated by spite and disappointment
and will wonder why he did not bring
up this reform several years ago.
Still the postal service of the coun-
try should be distinctly improved

VOX POPULI.
SUGGESTS MASS MEETING
TO DISCUSS BIRD LAWS

Editor Pensacola Journal.
Mr.. w. T. Stancil of this place seems
to have stirred UP quite a little con-
troversy about the proposed quail law;
and lest it should be thought that all
of us at Quintette endorse Mr.. Stan
ellis stand in the matter. I crave the
privilege OF giving my ideas on the
subject
In the first place, there was no call
for Mr.. S. to jump on the Cottage Hill
people at all. as they have right to be
unanimously or brilliantly in favor
of any petition that may come up,
Mr.. S. to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Mr.. Stancirs remarks about the Cot
tage Hill peoples ability to farm was
not only ungentlemanly but insulting.
although he may not have meant it so.
II think that visitors at the Fair will
not think the Cottage Hill people al
together ignorant. AS to Mr.. McDon-
aid. he needs no defense from me; but
wish to say, that when sickness or
death comes to friend or stranger.
neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Mcdonald, spare
themselves night or day, as / can per-
sonally attest.
I think before any new law is made
it would be well for our representa-
tives to look into the matter thorough
ly, as a mistake can easily be made.
Personally, I am not in favor of the
proposed five year closed law. 1t is a
great mistake to allow the shooting Of
doves October first, and | think this
should be changed to November first,
for this reason, that lots of people who
pretend to shoot doves also shoot quail;
then if the season were closed, say on
January Is, that would give the birds
a better chance to get ready for nest
ing. Then if all true sportsmen would
unite in getting rid of the hogs-I
mean the human hogs that would kill
the last pair in a covy we would have
a good many more birds.
I have been farming in a small way
here at Quintette for IT years and
have made living at it, and / have
protected the birds on my place. Each
year, / have managed to save or 10
pair of birds. that have spread out and
Matched a large share of the young
birds here for the next season.
Mr. Stancil wants to know why the
worms eat up Mr.. Barrineaus crops
this year and not Mr.. Boards; although
Mr.. Beard did not object to people
hunting around his place. This is the
reason. Mr.. Barrineau allows his
friends (and they are legion during
the shooting season. to shoot over his
| fields from November first to March
and the birds are driven to other To-
cations. and don't come back in time
to rear broods. I am satisfied that this
has cost them loss this year of at
least five hundred dollars and the end
is not yet.
1t strikes me that the thing to do
is to call meeting of all interested at
some convenient place. say Cottage
Hill, and discuss this thing in friend
ly and sensible way. There Is right
way, let's find it.

This Advice
Is Typical.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, an
estimable old gentleman who believes
very firmly In all the high protective
tariff trust fostering habits of the Re-
publican party, has solved the high cost
of living problem. He advises the
people to eat less beef and more NUT
ton. inasmuch as the present market
price of mutton is lower than that of
beef.
This recalls Marie Antoinette's fam
Gus question why the people of France,
who were said to be starving for bread,
did not eat cake.
The secretary of agriculture seems
to ignore the fact that, according to
the census bureau, the number cZ<sheep
in the United States is rapidly de-
creasing and also that the same pack
ing house trust that controls the prices
OF cattle and beef, also cxerts the same
baneful influence over the market for
sheep and mutton.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is a
shining light in that school of political
economy to which President Taft and
the Aldrichs, the Shoots and the Gug-
genheims belong.

American Farmers
Going Into Canada.

The emigration of American farm
ers into Canada is assuming proper
tions that are phenomenal.
A writer in Golfers Weekly gives
figures showing that it has reached
the rate of $4,000 a year.
And he gives reasons which il
would be well to think about in this
country. The truth is, he says, that
to the frauds that have been practic-
ed in regard to our own public lands
and that "the westward tide has
bumped into the unyielding front OF
ranch, timber land and mining tract
grabs, and so turns north in Canada
--erelong in numbers of a 100000 a
year-birthrigh p1undered expatri-
ates!"
When we measure up these $4,000
good American farmers lost to us
every year and the undesirable part
of that other host of foreign immi-
grants dumped upon us in their
stead. the prospect Is not cheering.
The citizenship of this country must
deteriorate woefully If these cur
rents continue to increase In volume
p they have increased in the last
decade.
Meanwhile an amusing phase Of the
situation lies in the fact that Eng
land is showing uneasiness over the
American conquest of Canada. The
English Economic Review recently
had an article laying stress upon the
idea that Americans go into Canada
thoroughly imbued with the Monroe
doctrine and determined to become
the controlling political quantity.
This. of course, is merely a night
mare. Few American farmers OF the
class that are going into Canada know
o- care anything about the Monroe
doctrine. They are going there to
build homes, to develop the lands and
10 make money. None would be Sc
amazed as themselves to learn tina.
LELAND is excited in the apprehen-
sion that they are political agitators
they who have more concern for
their crops than for all the politics
In the world.
It is not a political conquest OF
Canada by American farmers that
England needs to fear. 1t is an in
dustriaI and commercial conquest.
1t is the United States which has
real cause to feel alarm over the
condition. The wholesale exchange
of good stock for bad cannot fail to
have evil effect upon us politically
and industrially.

SPEAKS FOR
HER MOTHER
North Carolina Lady Writes
Interesting Letter Relat-
ing Her Mothers Ex-
periences.

Taylorville, N. C.,-In an interesting
letter from this place, Mrs. Stella M
Bowman writes as follows: "My
mother was weak and run down, and
was in bed for nine weeks. She was
not able to do any of her work.
Some lady told her about Cardui, the
woman's tonic. She decided to try it,
and after taking three bottles, was
able to de all of her household work.
You may publish this letter if you
wish, as it would be great pleasure
for me to know that I have been of
help to some suffering woman"
The best way to relieve womanly
troubles, pains, headache, backache,
ETC., is to help nature, by taking Car
dui.
Cardui has not only been found Of
great assistance in relieving the most
serious cases of womanly trouble, but
has also proven itself an ideal strength
building tonic, for weak, tired, ner-
vous women.
Cardui is successful, because it is
composed of ingredients that act eff
fectiveIy on the womanly constitu-
ton, and builds up health and strength
in a natural manner. It is strictly a
woman's medicine-prepared exclusive
ly for women.
Fifty years success in relieving aches
and pains of other weak and ailing
women. is good reason to believe
that Cardui should help you, too.

Growing Rice
In Florida.

A large rice mill is being erected

new plant in constant operation. How.

of that section of Florida is no ex-

the beginning of an important new
industry in the state. Large areas of
land in dozen or more Florida coun-
ties are specially adapted to rice Gull
sture and 1t is well known that It is
one of the most profitable crops that
can be grown anywhere.
Fifteen years ago no one dreamed
that rice would ever be grown for
commercial purposes in Arkansas, yet
today thousands of acres of land in
the central part of the state are pro-
ducing more than hundred bushels
OF rice to the acre. 1t is one of the
great products of that newly develop
ed state.
Within few years thousands of
bushels of rice may be grown in West
Florida counties and Pensacola may
become a great rice market. just as

Thomas w. Lawson's testimony be-
fore the Clapp committee was not so
startling after all. He only knew
things in a general way. As mat
ter of fact, most OF Lawson's asser-
tions were probably true and they
were apparent to many thoughtful
persons besides Mr.. Lawson. Days
before he came to Baltimore Mr..
Bryan knew that the interests" would
try to control the convention. He in
tended to prevent this misfortune If
possible and he did prevent it. 1t is

ANNUAL FAIRS
IN JACKSON co.
THE ONE JUST CLOSED WAS so
SUCCESSFUL THAT THE ASSo-
CATION Is MADE PERMANENT.

Mariana, Oct. 29-At the meeting
of the Jackson County Fair Associa-
ton Monday afternoon it was decid-
cd to make the organization permanent
and to have a fair at Mariana each
year. The fair just closed (from Oct.
22nd to 26th inclusive) was in every
way success and brought out won
derfully fine agricultural exhibits, not
withstanding the fact that it was got
ten UP with very little preparation and
practically none Of the products were
grown for exhibition.
The exhibit of farm products would
attract attention anywhere for both
variety and excellence. The live stock
exhibit was small but good, and the
poultry exhibit very creditaple. In the
ladies art exhibit there were many
things of interest, among them being
needle work by some of the first citi-
zens of Mariana. 1t does not seem
possible to excel some of this fancy
needle work, and one of the ladies who
exhibited some of her ante-bellum
work was asked how she found time to
do so much of such intricate needle
work, and she replied: I'm those days
we had very little else to do except
lattend balls, and had plenty of time
for fancy work"-a vivid touch of the
old Gays.
The fair has done good in giving an
actual test of what we can do, and
demonstrates that Jackson County is
in the heart of the agricultural sec
ton of Florida, and is the logical point
for the state fair, especially if agricul-
tural exhibits are to be emphasized.
The city is growing rapidly and has
accommodations for large crowds, and
knows how to treat visitors.

Likely Story.

George Horace Lorimer, of Phila-
delphia, is a champion of scientific
management, and at the Franklin Inn
Club he said the other day:
Scientific management, the bonus
system, piece work-all these are very
good. They remind me of story.
In certain shop all the men were
paid by the hour. Discipline was lax
there. The output was meager.
"One day, as a workman came from
the shop, he held up his hand to a
passing trolley car, the car stopped
and waited for him. but he did not
run to board 1t, nor did he increase
by an iota his leisurely stride.
THE conductor, losing patience at
last shouted at him:
"'Come on, there! Get a. move on!
Do a little piece work for a change!"

NOT COMPLYING WITH
r. r. COMMISSIONS ORDER

Pensacola, Fla, 1929 1912.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Some time ago there appeared in the
columns of your paper information
purporting to have come from some
rate adjusting body. to the effect that
on October 25th the express rate on
shipments of fruits and vegetables
originating in South Florida and be-
ing handled over three roads, was to
be reduced some % per cent.
On October 26th / had a shipment
of pine apples forwarded from Stuart,
Palm Beach county. which must come
over the Florida East Coast, Seaboard
Air Line and L. & N, bearing the old
rate of SLIP per crate.
I inquired of the local agents office
of the express company, one Mr.. Allen
being my informant, regarding the
proposed reduction and was advised
that no such change of rates had ever
been applied and your publication was
in error or words to that effect.
Please advise on what authority
your publication was based as I have
heard many inquiries regarding the
change in rates.

REGRETS HIGH COST
 OF THE CAMPAIGN
Wilson Says He Will Confine Ex. penditures to Reasonable De-
 gree of Economy.

Seagirt, N. J., Aug. 12.-Discussing the report today that the Democratic party wanted to raise at least $2,- 0O0,O00," to carry on the campaign, Woodrow Wilson said:
 Tt vexes me to hear that it has been fixed as the figure. I have not the slightest notion of how much is necessary, but remember MT. Bry- an telling me the sum used in his campaign. have forgotten the exact figures, but 1t was certainly under $1,000,O0O.
