preme Court Monday Of the suit Of
Mrs. B. r. Tillman, Jr., for the pos
session of her children, who We're
decided by her husband to his par
ents, Senator and Mrs, B. r. Till
man. bills were introduced in both
branches of the General Assembly
last night to amend the law in ref
erence to the deciding of children so
that If the mother Is living she must
consent irf order to make the deed
valid.
The Senate bill was introduced by
Senator Graydon., OF Abbeville, and
the House bill by representative
Gasque, of Marion
Under the present law the father
may deed his children, even though
the mother be living, without the
consent Of the mother, while the mo-
ther cannot deed the children except
the father be dead. The bills intro
duced IN the General Assembly last
night give the father and mother
the same right, as they have under
the present law, In case one Of them
should be dead. and take away from
the father the right to dispose Of his
children without the consent Of the
mother, In case she should be living.

The action of the Tillmans, of
South Carolina father and son-in
taking away form their natural mo-
ther the two little children Of Mrs.
Lucy Dugas Tillman, under deed
executed by their father to their
grandfather has naturally aroused
the Indignation Of the entire country.
The South Carolina law which per-
mits this transfer Of minor children
by their father, as If they were mere
chattels, is generally looked upon as
relic of the dark ages, and, as such,
Is being denounced by the press and
people Of all States.
1t must be an aggravated case, in
deed, that can cause the press of the
country to take up editorially the is
sues involved in any domestic trou-
Bile, but 1t Is to the credit Of the edi-
torial conscience Of the United States
that 1T has revolted at this cruel in
vasion Of mothers rights.
