OPPOSES T|LLMAN
TO KEEP CHILDREN
Mrs. Lucy Dugas Says Senator
Has No Right TO Little Girls
FATHER HAS LEFT STATE.
Supreme Court Takes Position of
Grandparents Under Adj
ViSement.

Columbia Special to Charleston
News and Courier, June 1O.-Mrs.
Lucy Dugas, the divorced wife of b.
Il. Tillman, Jr., appeared before the
South Carolina supreme court this
afternoon and opposed the petition of
United States Senator and Mrs. b. II.
Tillman that they be allowed the
custody of her two little daughters,
Lucy Pickens Tillman and Sarah
Starke Tillman, during the months of
July and August, while young Ben
mother said that Senator and Mrs.
Tillman had no right whatever with
he little girls.
No decision was announced by the
court, which said they would take the
petition under adViSement.
Henry G. Tillman of Greenwood, a
son of Senator Tillman and brother
of young Ben Tillman, the father of
he two children, appeared and made
the request that the senator and Mrs.
Tillman be allowed to have the chill
dren for July and August, that young
Ben Tillman would be absent from
the state then, having accepted n pO-
sition as secretary of the board of
route for the government railroad in
Alaska. Under the decision of the
court over a year ago, the children
were to be with their father during
the summer months. The senator
| and his wife asked to be allowed to
! have the children and Mr.. Henry
Tillman said they were getting old
and loved the children and they made
the request out of justice to human
! ity MY request is more to your
human side than to the strict law,
said Mr.. Tillman.
FATHER LEAVES STATE.
Counsel for the young mother in
opposing the request said the father
gave up his right when he left the
/ tate. She wanted 10 make point
of the allegation that she alone had
contributed to the support OF the
children since the separation from
her husband four years ago and she
said he ought to be made to con.
tribute to their support by the court
The question of support the court
ruled out and held the parties dowr
to the one question whether the sen
ator and Mrs. Tillman should be al
lowed to have the children during
July and August. Mrs. Dugas' attor
ney would not even admit the juris
diction OF the court. Dut reserved the
ight to raise this as an objection.
Mrs. Dugas, dressed entirely il
white, followed the proceedings witt
closest attention. She was accom-
panied to the court room by hel
cousin, DR.. f. w. p Butler, and hel
attorneys, Graydon & DePass. The
two little girls were not in court

Niagara Falls, Ont. June 11.--Re-
ports from Saltillo that General Car
ranza's answer to the last commrni-
cation of the mediators had been
transmitted to Niagara Falls aroused
keen expectancy among members OF
the mediation conference today.
intimations have come from EI
Paso that the Constitutionalist an
swer will refuse to declare an armis-
tiCe, in that the subject will be ig-
nored, but that the note will announce
the intention of the Constitutionalists
to send delegates here to dicuss the
Mexican problem, leaving indefinite
the nature of the instructions given
to the delegates.
What the mediators would say to
such proposition is not difficult to
conjecture, for they have taken a
stand that unless an armistice is de-
clared there will be no admission for
the Constitutionalist delegates. New
ertheless, the mediators have indi-
Gated they would not be averse to
discussing questions informally with

The attack on Zacatecas was regard

possibility is that if mediation is un-
successful and fighting continues, for

conditions of anarchy that would
force the American army to move
from Vera Cruz to Mexico City.
Neither General Carranza nor Cen

States for provisional president. nor

From a moral standpoint, the sa-
loon is indefensible All persons, ev-
en- those who have engaged in the sa-
loon business, will agree to that.
When 1t comes to a question Nof NOR
ais, there is only one side to the sa-
loon question. and that is against the
saloon. But occasionally some person
of honest belief will contend that the
saloon Is a benefit to Mt. Vernon in a
financial way. While he may con-
scientiously think so, yet the trouble
with him Is that he has not gone into
the subject and is lacking in informa.
tion. The fact that the financial in
sttutions of Mt. Vernon show an In
creased saving account of $575,000 over
what there was when the town had
saloons and that yearly sum of S76,.
900 in interest is being paid to depos.
itors, the largest amount in the his
tory of Mt. Vernon, completely dis.
poses of the argument that saloons
are financial advantage to Mt. Yer
non.

One OF the arguments advanced In
favor OF Mt. Vernon having saloons is
that the taxpayers would be saved the
amount Of the taxes paid by the sa.
looms. 1t Is doubtful II those who ad'
vance this argument ever took the
pains to figure out just how much the
saving would be, and consequently
could not answer II they were asked
The average amount paid into the
county treasury each year by the tax
payers OF Mt. Vernon Is about $l3
On that amount the saving In taxes
would be 5S cents. II a taxpayer pays
more or less than $lS a year he car
easily figure Just how much he would
he relieved from paying by having
saloons. Isn't It worth SO cents yeal
TO the average taxpayer not to have
saloons?

If you, Mr.. Conservative Citizen,
have any doubt as to business condi-
tions being better today in Mt, Yer.
ron than they were when twenty-five
saloons fourished here, go ask the
merchants of the city. Do not talk
to just one or two-interview several
and in different lines of business. 1t
is true that you will occasionally hear
from a merchant a report that some
men living In the southern part Of the
county who formerly came to Mt. Yer.
non to trade now go to Newark, be-
cause in doing so they can also get
drink, but ask for the names of the
residents of the southern part Of the
county who do that and you will find
very few of them. The few instances
have been greatly magnified. AS
against this possible small loss of
trade is the general improved bust
ness tone, as will be vouched for by
every merchant of Mt. Vernon. The
Uublu0b6 iudu VIII toii yOu thoI PV7oRAC
ere buying more merchandise and of a
better quality than they did when
there were saloons In Mt. Vernon
They will tell you less credit Is asked
for and that where 1t Is granted pay
ment Is more promptly made than for
merly. This condition stands to rea
son without verification by the mer
chants, for the simple reason that
the thousands upon thousands Of
dollars that formerly went across
the bars of saloons now FIND
avenues for better use-for more ant
better food, for more and better cloth
ing, for more comforts and conven
fences in the home, for more enter
tainment and amusement, and, II
many instances, with a goodly saving
deposited In banks and building ant
loan associations drawing Interest
These are facts that no one Will dis
pute. They eloquently argue agains
the return Of saloons to Mt, Vernon,
