Friends of Family to Refute
Attack on Legitimacy of
Guy StiLInlGn.

BUFFALO, n. Y, March 2l.-TwU new
important witnesses In the Stillman d.
vorce scandal were discovered here today.
They are two prominent men, friends Of
the stillmans, who declared they were
prepared to refHte james A. Stillrnan's
attack on the Legitimacy Of 2-year-otd
Guy Stillman. The men, who would not
permit their names to be used, said they
were guests at the Stillman home at
pochantico Hills during the part OF 1913
and that they were prepared to swear
that the multlmillionalre banker and bis
wife, Mrs. Fiji" Potter Stillman, were
both at that place during that time.
/ Letters written by the men to relatives
mentioning the fact that the Stillmans
we're together in their summer home have
! been turned over TO Mrs. Stillman's at
! torneys.
( Stillman is alleged to contend that Guy,
! who was born in November, 1918, is the
! son Of Fred Beauvais, French Canadian
guide. whom Mrs. Stlllman met at the
/ Stillman country home near Montreal.
| The Buffalo men, who said they knew

MEN
ON WARPATH TO
DEFEAT YOCKEY
Declare Candidacy for City
Judge Is Dictated by
Machine Heads.
REPEATING HOWE GAME

The race for the Republican nom
ination for city judge took the center
of the political stage today when
friends of Judge Walter Pritchard
went on the war path against Harry
e. Yockey, former city court prose-
cutor, at present an assistant city at
torney and a candidate for the honor
of succeeding Judge Pritchard.
Judge Pritchard's friends wish him to
run for renomination. The judge is not
averse. it is said, but has not made pub
lie his intention. 1t was expected by
the judges friends, they say, that the
News Jewett organization would back
him for renomination if he desired It,.
However the entrance Of Mr.. Yockey in
the race last week was accompanied with
a quiet mouth-to- mouth announcement
that he is the administration" candi-
date Mayor Charles w. Jewett, Ralph
A. Lemcke and Charles o. Roemler
brought Mr. Yockey out, it was said.
Those who desire to see Judge Pritch-
ard in the race say the three dictators
will not be able to line up the precinct
committeeman and ward chairmen behind
Mr.. YOckey.
CLAIM SUPPORT
OF RANK AND FILE.
The rank and h,e of the organization,
they say, desire Judge Pritchard. II the
chief trio attempts to force Mr.. Yockey
on the organization, as they did Mr..
Thomas c. Howe, former president Of
Butler College and candidate for the Re
publican mayoralty nomination, there will
UvFTr nrt
sympathizers said.
The Jewett- Roemler- -Lemcke triumvi-
rate faced another crisis in the matter
OF the appointment of a deserving Re
publican to the position of collector Of
customs and custodian Of the Federal
Building. The leaders have served notice
on United States Senator Harry S. New,
II IS said, that they must have Edward
McGuff, city sealer of weights and meas
ures, appointed.
OTHERS PROPOSE
ARTHUR RENICK.
Some of Senator News closest advisers,
however, are telling him that the wisest
move from the standpoint of his own
prospec. for denomination two years from
now would be to appoint Arthur Renick,
an official OF a local insurance company.
This fight is considered a further test
Of the power of the administration
outside Marion County. The three lead
ers were anxious to land the appoint
ment for Mr. McGun because Of the set
back they resolved last week when Ar
thur r. Robinson was appointed Judge OF
Superior Court, Room 4, by Governor
Warren T. McCray. Mr. Robinson Is a
supporter OF Edward j. Robson, eandi-
date for the Republican mayoralty nomi-
nation. and Is not friendly to the News
Jewettt crowd.

ages stone works and tobacco.

dicate clearly the fundamental
causes of the protracted industrial
depression and the mounting tide of
unemployment" the statement de-
clared. Continued ;, unsatisfactory
conditions of transportation with
freight rates in many cases consider
ed almost prohibitive; lack Of any
thing like normal foreign market;
the present low value Of farm prod
ucts, stagnation in iron and steel;
high costs of construction and the
general dullness of the retail trade
stand out prominently as leading fac
tors in the situation" |

the survey continues, sand while the
likelihood of dull summer in almost

FIRST MARKET DAY
COMES JULY NINETEENTH

At the meeting Saturday afternoon
in the Court House of the Cuonty
Council of Farm Women, it was de-
cided that the first Market day would
be held on Tuesday, July 18th. The
Civic League and the League of Wo-
men Voters have indorsed this pro-
ject and the council feels that much
money can be saved the housewives
of Abbeville through this opportu-
nifty to purchase staple farm prod
ucts direct from the producer. A
committee of women will handle the
sale, which will probably be held on
the court house grounds.
1t is planned to handle only the
best produce, and the prices will be
low enough to insure a generous
saving over that generally paid for
butter, chickens, eggs, fresh fruit
and vegetables.

DRAGGED TO DEATH
TANGLED IN HALTER

While grazing mule near his
home Saturday morning at g o'clock
Yancey w. Riley, Jr. the seven year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Y. w. Riley
Of Callison, had his hand entangled
IN the halter rope and dragged to
death when the mule ran away. The
little fellow was dragged nearly "a
quarter of mile by the frightened
mule, and brought back to the barn,
still clinging to the rope.
The little boy and a negro man
were grazing two mules near the
house when the tragedy occurred.
The mule which the child was hold
ing by a plow line became frightened
and dashed away before the little
fellow could loosen the rope around
his wrist. The boys skull was frac--
tured and the body badly bruised by
being dragged over the rough
ground. As soon as the body could
be disentangled from the rope, the
child was carried to the home of DR..
]. L. Ward, but medical assistance
was of no avail and he died in few
minutes.
The victim of the distressing acci-
dent is survived by his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Y. W. Riley, one sister,
Beatrice, aged four, and one brother
Marion, aged one year.
The grandfather of the boy, j. NJ
Riley of Callison, was killed in a
somewhat similar accident in Novem-

der a gate on Circular street here,
striking his head on the cross bar,

RAILWAY LINES
/ RECEIVE. MONEY
SECRETARY OF TREASURY SAYS
GOVERNMENT WILL TRANS
FER LARGE SUM SOON AND
ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION
MAY BE REQUIRED

Washington, July 9.-Negotiations
between government. Officials and
railroad executives involving re-
funding arrangements by which the
carriers would deceive approximate
ly s5oo,OoO,eOos in additional treas
my advances within Ithe next six
months are expected to be completed
within two days, Secretary Mellon
announced today. The advances
would be equivalent to the sums ex-
pended out of railroad earnings by
the government in capital better
ments during the period of war time
control, he added * p: +.
Additional appropriations Mr.. Mel
lon indicated, may be needed, before
all the money can be furnished, but
q part of it may be advanced by
the treasury out Of present au-
thorizations if agreements already
tentatively, reached are confirmed.
The government will receive 6 per
cent. securities from the individual
roads involved in exchange for the
advance and the railroads will be
enabled to pay off standing accounts
for supplies and embark upon re-
pairs Of rolling stock and other
maintenance which have been defer
red because Of corporate deficits.
Beth Mr., Mellon and Secretary
Hoover, who commented upon the
negotiations later, said the plan con-
templated would be of greaat busi-
ness value to the country in easing
ereditsr and furnishing employment.
Mr.. Hoover estimated THAT 100000
additional men could be employed by
the roads if funds were available.
Mr.. Mellon pointed out that. the
transaction, if completed, will not
involve loss, but may involva profit
for the treasury, since the railroads
will pay 6 percent. on the money
advanced. and the treasury borrow
ings have been obtained generally
at lower rates.

GREAT SUCCESS
FOR DOLLAR DAY
MANY DOLLARS GO IN EX-
CHANG FOR REAL BARGAINS
SATURDAY AND ELEVEN HUN:
DRED GALLONS OF LEMONADE
DISAPPEAR ON SQUARE.

The folks of Abbeville County and
may be some from Georgia came to
Abbeville Saturday and brought their
dollars with them, and in return they
took away from the stores Of this
city more real values than has been
the case in many a long day. Besides
these self same people carried away
with them some eleven hundred gal
Ions of lemonade, quantity suffici-
ent to allow eighty-eight hundred
people pint each. Of course there
were several people who did not drink
a pint, and maybe two or three who
drank more than a pint.
But aside from the fun all con-
'cerned got out Of the event, Dollar
Day was q decided success. All the
merchants who spoke of the business
of Saturday. were well pleased with
the result of the special effort put on
to get money into circulation to ad-
yertise Abbeville. One firm said they
had a better day than any time dur
ing the past six months. Another said
that he sold an eleven hundred dol
lar stock for about eight hundred
Saturday, but he was well pleased
with the cash and the turning of his
stock. ... 1s
Practically all the merchants, some
with lines that were not staple, adj
vertised special combination bar
gains for this one day. The spirit
shown was bound to make a success
of the day, and the results at closing
time Saturday showed that the faith
of the promoters Of the event had
not misjudged the shopkeepers of the
city. The chamber of commerce was
an important factor in the success
that attended the day, Mr.. Barnes is
spending a lot of time and hard work
IN distributing publicity for the day.
He had printed an attractive poster
which he distributed to all sections of
the county, and looked after the pre-
pairing Of the lemonade and its eff
ficient distribution by number of
attractive young girls.
, If the amount of lemonade con-
sumed can be taken as an indication,
the out-of-town folks must have been
as well pleased with the day as were
the merchants themselves. Of course
all the delicious beverage was not
consumed by out-of-town folks, not
by any means, for one certain portly
gentleman is affirmed to have. con-
sumed eight gallons by hisflonsesome.
