Douschka Pickens Tillman, 10 years
old, and Lucy Frances (or Sarah S.
Fillman, years old, were put through
a severe cross-examination by attor-
neys before the supreme court yes
terday in the case involving their GUS
tody. 1t is probably the first time in
the history o: South Carolina that GILL
dren have been called to testify be-
fore the supreme court. The little
girls have been growing up under the
jurisdiction Of the court during the
last several years.
The principal contention in the case
was that the little girls had disobeyed
the mandate of the court by refusing
to remain with taeir grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. B. R. Tillman, during a
stated period.
After taking the testimony Of many
witnesses, including tnat of Mrs. Lucy
Dugas, mother Of the children, the
court adjourned for the day and took
the case under advisement. Later the
order quoted above was issued.
The case was called for hearing at
10 o'clock and all testimony had been
completed by noon. B. R. Tlllman,
Jr., father of the little girls, sat with
his attorneys in the court room. He
recently returned from Alaska, where
he is engaged in government work.
He is to return to Alaska soon.
Mrs. Lucy Dugas, mother of the
children, had been ordered to appear
before the court and show cause why
she should not give up the partial Gus
tody of the children. Under the first
order O; the court, the children were
required to be left with the father
at their grandparents home at GER
tain periods during the year. 1t was
charged that the children refused TO
remain with their grandparents and
that they were very unruly.
Father Files Petition.
B. R. Tillman, Jr., filed the fol-
lowing petition with the court:
Pursuant to the order of the court
heretofore passed in this. cause, the
petitioner, B. R. Tillman, Jr., appears
before the court and respectfully sub
mits the affidavits hereto attached and
in reference thereto respectfully asks
that the honorable court make such
disposition of the custody and control
of his said children as shall be for
their best interest and in connection
Herewith this petitioner desires to
express his willingness either to as
sumo full charge and control Of his
said children, or, if the court deems
it best to place item in some instltu-
tion where they will be properly cared
or and trained, this petitioner will
gladly bear whatever expenses may be
required to properly support, educate
and maintain them.
''Your petitioner earnestly prays
that in either event the direction and
control o: the future education and
training of these children be placed
N his hands and that such disposition
Of them be made which will be more
beneficial to their future training
han the present arrangement.
IF allowed to nave the care and
custody of his children, this petitioner
ill gladly afford every reasonable
opportunity for their mother to see
nd be with them"
Accompanying this petition we're

1.-THE decree of the court requires
ne under bond to keep the children
in the State, and l believe the same
rule applies to their father when they
i are in his custody. I know that on
one occasion. he carried them beyond
the borders Of the State, whether with
! or without the permission o. this
court am unprepared to say. Mr.. B.
R. Tillman, Jr., went to Alaska this
summer. While he was at Trenton,
the children were sent to rim in ac-
cordance with the direction of the
court and stayed with him at his
fathers home.
after the court directed the chill
dren to be sent to Senator and Mrs.
Tillman in their sons absence, l sent
the children to them at Trenton. The
little girls missed their fat.er's pres
ence in the Tillman home and became
homesick and were allowed to return
home I do not see how l can be
held responsible for the failure of Sen
ator and Mrs. B. R. Tillman and those
representing them to control these
small children after I mad placed
them in their custody. After the chill
dren returned home l sent them back
to Trenton twice and instructed them
to remain with their grandparents and
did everything in my power not only
to respect but obey the order of the
court; and 1 desire here most en-
phatically to disclaim any purpose or
endeavor on my part to influence or
instruct my children to so act as to
defeat the order Of the court, as mas
been intimated if not charged IN

OF the sea, We related by Capt New
man, one Of the best known shippers
in the transatlantic service, who has
Just arrived IN Savannah with the
South Point.
capt. Newman brought his ship over
direct TO Cape Race and then dropped
down the American coast so as to al
ways be in touch Of the thrae-mile
zone, where he could get to safety in
the event of a ship of the enemy steal
ing a march on him. It was not far
off Cape Race the German cruiser
made its daring raid only TO be chas-
ed off far in the North Atlantic by
he Essex, the cruiser which has put
so much of the fear Of the British in
the heart of the German nation that
her ships do not venture far.
ON my trip over my wireless oper-
ator was never out of touch with a
British war vessel There was one for
every 200 miles, patroling the route
as faithfully as a sentry would walk
his post on shore. They keep up a
constant runrang conversation with
the British ships. exchanging bits of
war news, or giving a possible eau
ton.
When about 300 miles out I was
manded by my brother-in-laW. During
the night / was called to the bridge
and found the operator in conyersa-
ton with the Mauretania. She was
tTowding on every ounce Of steam and
racing before the Dresden when the
Essex came to the rescue. She ran
between the passenger steamer and
the cruiser and sped to get in range
Of the Dresden. The German turned
tail ana ran, but he was running in
my direction. The Mauretania went
on safely into port and the Essex
gave her attention to the German. In
remarkable race the Essex passed
under our stern and again headed the
Dresden off and gave chase.
shortly after | ran into a heavy
fog. which saved me from any further
danger, but the last saw of the two

CARD FROM JUDGE MALoNEY.
Favors Permanent Improvement OF
All Roads Throughout the County.

Editor Eagle:
| note with pleasure you are advo'
eating good roads, and that you would
like to hear from me. | am in favor
of the best road improvement there
is, and would like to see the improve
ment you suggest. However, | would
go further favor the permanent
Improvement of all the main roads
of the county, of which there are $50
miles estimated. This would enable
us to extend the work of the county
forces.
This expression is my personal
view, and has nothing to do with my
official conduct Of my office. This
improvement must reach the court by
petition asking for an election, and
the will of the property taxpayers
must govern.
| went before our Commercial Club
and advocated improved roads; they
ordered a committee appointed to
work out plan. have not learned
of the committees appointment.
/ do not agree as to the kind of
road. The best is none too good for
our main travelled road. and especially
is the traffic heavy and varied on the
College road, and therefore should be
the best. ]. 7. MALONEY.
