scholarships supported in whole or N
part by the State or State funds.
Mr.. Lahan Mauldin took UP the pen
sion pill he presented. Mr. Wilson
wanted the three or four bills taken up
and considered by sections. He want
ed all the bills taken up and consider
ed together. All the pending bills, he
thought, had merit.
Mr.. DeBruhl took up the substitute
bill as to the adoption OF illegitimate
children.
Mr.. CAN'T moved 70 strike out the
enacting words.
Mr.. Bruhl thought there could be nC
reason to kill tae bill. The bill simply
sought to amend the law so that ille-
gitimate children can be adopted. it
provides that this cannot be done un-
less the parties adopting can legally dc
so; that such adopted child shall not
receive mere than a legal share. that
is, that other legitimate children shall
moi be disinherited fer the illegitimatr
children adopted. No possible harm,
he thought, could come from the bill.
The Circuit Courts are to pass on the
adoption of the children.
