THE TILLMAN CHILDREN.
Senator Makes Statement Concerning
Coming Hearing.

The News and Courier last night re-
ceived the following from Trenton, S.
c.. dated November 6:
Senator b. r. Tillman gave out the
following statement:
II desire to make correction about
the hearing to be held before the
South Carolina Supreme Court. con-
cerning the Tillman children. on the
23d Of November. News items in The
News and Courier Of November 6, and
perhaps other papers. speak of this
hearing as contest between Mrs.
Lucy Dugas and Senator Tillman for
the possession Of the Tillman children
This Is erroneous. I have not had
anything to do with this lawsuit. The
Supreme Court itself initiated the
proceedings.
THE facts are as follows: The Su-
preme Court issued an order directing
that the children spend the months
OF July and August with their grand
parents, as their father was in Alaska.
On the first Of July the two little girls
came to Trenton on the train, but did
not get of the train at all, although
they were met by Mrs. Tillman. who
asked them to go home with her. They
were sent by their mother on the train
a second time a few days later and
my secretary, Mr.. Knight met them
and tried to get them to get off the
cars. but they refused. Some days af-
terwards they were sent to Trenton,
accompanied by their negro nurse,
who returned to Edgefeld. My daugh-
ter. Sallie May. met them and they
came home with her and spent the
night. They seemed excited. but did
not show any temper. Neither OF the
children ate supper. The oldest one
did eat after the other had gone to
sleep. Next morning they ran away to
Trenton before breakfast and took tina
early train for Edgcheld.
These facts were brought to the
attention Of the Chief Justice and ne
initiated the present proceedings OF
his own vOlition.
IL am deeply concerned about the
future and education of these two liz
tie girls. and that Is all there is to II

LITTLE COTTON SOLD.

Manning, Nov. 8.-The cotton sit
uation in this section has continued
practically unchanged for some time.
Very little is being sold and that little
at very unsatisfactory prices. The
gins have been kept busy all the
season. but after being ginned and
packed the cotton in most instances
has been hauled back home. However,
quite lot Of cotton has been stored
In warehouses and insured to await
better market conditions. Something
over 5000 bales are stored in ware
houses here in Manning, besides the
amount kept off the market elsewhere
in the county. While greatly disap-
pointed and to a large extent discour-
aged, the cotton producers are yet
hoping for a change for the better
and many are going ahead putting in
an increased acreage in oats and
other winter crops, including more
wheat than has been raised in Clar-
endOn in a generation.

D|SPENSARY CASE IN COURT.
SUPREME COURT CONSIDERS
SOUTH CAROLINA CASE.
Carolina Glass Company Appcars
Before Highest Tribunal in the
United States to Attack Legality of
Action.

Washington. Nov. S.-Constitution-
ality Of four States laws and the
question of whether person may
be compelled to pay a debt to
trust" will be considered this week
by the supreme court Of the United
States. Arguments are to be heard
on the validity of the South Carolina
dispensary legislation, the Maryland
automobile license law, the Missis-
sippi ten-hour labor law and the Iowa
liquor injunction law. In the South
Carolina case the Carolina Glass
company, which was held by a dis
pensary commission to have con-
spired with members Of the State dis
pensary board to overcharge the State
for bottles. is attacking the law which
authorized the State to take posses
sion Of money owed the company by
county dispensaries.
The trust problem arises out of the
suit Of the Corn Products Refining
company to collect $1,247 from the
DR.. r. Wilde Manufacturing COM
pany of Atlanta, Ca, as the purchase
price Of goods sold and delivered to
the latter. The defense was that the
Corn Products company was an unlaw-
full combination under the Sherman
law. The Georgia court held this was
no defense. The court also will hear
on the leased oil lands
surrender" claims in favor Of the
leasing company, and on the question
of how far railroads in making dis
tribution Of cars among shippers are
subject to State law.

The cotton acreage reduction law
passed by the special session Of the
Legislature II clear and definite In its
terms. II forbids any farmer to plant
In cotton more than one-third Of the
actual acreage planted any year. II q
farmer cultivates seventy-five acres
next year. including his small grain
crop planted this fall. he cannot plant
moro than twenty-five in cotton; a
thirty acre corps means not more than
ten acres In cotton: q fifteen acre crop
means not more than five acres In cot
ton. It u well for every farmer to
Keep this law In mind. for those who
violate II are liable to prosecution and
punishment. and II Is made the duty
OF rural policeman and other officers
OF the law to seek out and prosecute
those who plant too much cotton.

secure the aid Of the sheriff and the
rural policemen in searching for the
stolen hens and visited the Item Of
flee, where he related his misfortune.

tance in the direction of Sumter. be-
fore he lost the track. The chickens
were mixed breed, but they were pref
ty we'll all that Mr.. Brown had and
