SECTION 2GsO, CIVIL CODE.

The Senate of South Carolina Is to
be congratulated upon amending Sec
ton 1850 Of the Civil Code-that
abomination OF civilization under the
provisions Of which B. II. Tillman,
Jr., decided" to Senator and Mrs.
g. II. Tillman the two daughters Of
MIR. and Mrs. b. r. Tillman, Jr,
without the consent Of the mother.
These two children are still held by
Senator and Mrs. Tillman. while the
mother seeks through the courts to
have her children returned to her
II seems remarkable that such pro-
visions rs are contained in Section
2GS9 should have ever been written
into the Statutes, yet doubtless the
writer never thought of the law being
used as in the case OF the Tillmans.
II seems incredible that, with the
present case staring the lawmakers
in the face, there should be one dis
senting vote against the amendment
Of that abominablc section Of the
Code. And yet we find this in the
report Of the proceedings OF our Sen
ate as given by the Columbia State:
Voting 20 to s the Senate last
night passed to third reading Sena-
tor Graydons bill limiting the au-
thority OF Il father to dispose Of his
child. The bill was not passed to
third rea ling, however, without con-
siderable debate on the part of seve-
raj Senators, who dcmurred at it's
passage. The eight were Senators
Bates, Clifton, CrossOn, Earle,
Hough, Rogers. Stewart. McCown.
'Fhe bill was changed by three
amendments, offered by Senators Car
Isle. Croft and Montgomery Scna-
tor CarliSlc'S amendment was to place
the word "written' before the word
consent" in the bin. thereby requir-
Ing the consent Of the mother to be
in writing. Senator Montgomcry's
amendment was to the effect that in
the event OF a disagreement between
the father and mother in regard to
the disposition Of the children the
Circuit Court should decide. Sena-
tor Croft amended the bill inserting
the words with the written consent
Of the surviving parent" The au-
thor o: this amendment explained
'HH' 'hlS iullucI SilcBunruS the Sa
cred right. and the mother is pro-
tected by being made a party to the
contract in deciding children.
"One Of the most vigorous debates
OF the year in the Senate was launch
cd on the calling OF the bill Senator
Earle, opposing the bill, said man had
been supreme for 5000 years, and
why should he not continue so? Sen
ator Carlisle offered an earnest plea
for the bill. The Senator from Spar
tanbnrg said man had been supreme
for considerably more than 5000
years. as the Senator from Oconce
suggested, adding that Noah, Moses,
and even so ancient Il man as Adam
was supreme. but that times and con-
d'.:2Hs have changed. and so should
the law change. Senator Carlisle
said that Senator lEarle's ideas were
as old as those 5000 years ago"
AS we said before. it seems remark
abb" that Section 2GS9 as it stood
should ever have been made law, and
it seems incrcdihie that the Senate
conld muster eight votes against
amendment of that section We shall
not, however, ccnSurc the Senate for
It's eight taS VIC see it, wayward
voters. We simply thank God that
there were no more

Honesty of Southern Business Men.

Mr.. Arlington. Of the Union
Bleachery, has shown us letter
from Northern business acauain;-
ance, which contains such high and
deserved compliment to Southern
business men we think it worth re-
producing. 1t is as follows:
II would rather like to extend nv
business in the South mainly for the
reasons given below, which you can
make any use Of you please
"The reason why like to do
business with Southern people is
this: That for more than fifty
years, on one line or another, | have
been shipping my goods to the South
OF the Mason and DiXon's line. Dur
ing all that time I have never been
ODllSed 10 place an account i'm the

and have never lost so much as a
nickel in bad accounts. have never
once received from Southern GUS
toner anything but fair and square
deal, and the most courteous treat
mcnt. | think you will admit that
lhlS Is pretty good record for the
length Of time covered.
Even debts contracted before the
war--a war that rendered every one
bankrupt-wcrc paid by the parties
after they got on their feet again,
and in every case the act was vOlun-
tary and without a suggestion from
me. ] think this will explain why I
like to do business with Southern
people, including Yourself"
Further comment IS unnecessary.
