RAzoRs IN CHINA.
They Cost Little. but They Are Made
From Old Iron Horseshoes.


An interesting feature of Chinese In
dustry Is the making Of knives and ra-
zors from old horseshoes. The local
blacksmiths in the interior cities and
towns supply the great population OF
the empire with knives, razors and
scissors OF an inferior quality at II
very small cost. This cutlery comes
from small shops. where only one or
two men are employed. usually the
proprietor and his sons. and is chiefly
made from old horseshoes imported
from England and the continent. A
discarded steel shoe offers the best
material for blades, but the black
smiths prefer the old shoes of soft iron
that come from Glasgow and Ham.

methods.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Nov. 26.-Hearing Of
the happiness of United States Senator
Benjamin II. Tillman began today in the
South Carolina supreme court, Chief JUS
tice Gary presiding.
The petitioner in fact is Benjamin r.
Tillman, Jr but his aged father is the
one who is pursuing the pending case.
The hearing was before the full supreme
court Many women prominent in the
higher social walks Of the state and men
of high prestige were present. Senator
Tillman was one of the most conspicuous
figures at the hearing. His son, Benja-
min II. Tillman, IT, the sons divorced
wife and their two little daughters,
Douschka Pickens and Sarah Stark TILL
man. were also In the court room
At noon the hearing was adjourned un-
til next Monday in order that the counsel
for young Tllman might present evid-
enCe in rebuttal to several affdavits sub
mitted by the deponent Mrs. Lucy Dugas,
Each side was allowed one hour for pc
tition and exhibits Of b. r. Tillman, Jr.,
and the return affidavit and exhibits Of
the deponent, Mrs. Dugas. The reading
OF these documents, both Of which were
whole time of the court until near noon,
when a recess Of ten minutes was taken.
After the recess Henry \. Tillman, Of
counsel for the petitioners asked for an
extension of time to put in evidence at
idavits In rebuttal to those Mrs. Dugas,
alleging that b r. Tillman, Jr., had been
under the influence Of Intoxicating liquors
in November of this year This the court
allowed, extending the time until Monday.
The case Is remarkable because of the
fact that the aged senator, in the bill Of
particulars filed with the court, has ad-
mitted that his son has been drunkard,
though he is now reformed.
The suit is for the custody of the sena-
tors two grandchildren, the offspring Of
his son and his daughter in-law, formerly
Lucy Dugas, a granddaughter Of former
Gorver Pitkens, Of this state. At present
the little ones are in the custody Of their

from the state.
This is the second attempt of the
aged statesman to secure the two chill

cided that the mother was better prepared
to rear the children because OF the fathers
weakness for liquor, which YVES alleged
by his young wife.
The senator, on that occasion, wrote
into a petition, which he submitted to the
court pitiful appeal. I'VE love them"

wife Won Decision.
Despite all his personal popularity and
influence. however, the court decided in
favor of Mrs. Tillman. Jr.. holding as
just her allegations to the effect that
young Tillman was a drunkard and was
unable to support their children. The SEN
ator was much downcast by this finding
and for long time refused to discuss his
sons falling. He was overtaken by a
paralytic stroke which nearly cost him
his life. During his conyalescence he
called for the children continually, mourn
ing their loss in his delrium.
In the summer of 1912 Mrs. Tillman, Jr,
got a divorce in Ohio from her husmand,
the senator's young son, and since that
time she has lived in Edgeheld. 1t was
in 1910, two years before the divorce de-
cree that the children were granted to
her by the South Carolina supreme court.

Mrs. Tillman and b. r. Tillman. Jr.
In the South Carolina court today the
