COURT DECIDES FOR MRS.
LUCY DUGAS TILLMAN
DECLARES st ATUTE
INVALID
HOLDS THAT B. R. TILLMAT, JR.,
HAD HORIGHT UNDER THE CON-
STlTUTION To DEED AWAY
HIS CHILDREN

Columbia, Feb. 1o.-The supreme
court of South Carolina has declared
unconstitutional the statute under
which B. r. Tillman, Jr., endeavored
to deed to his parents the custody Of
his infant children, on the ground
that he believed his wife to be in
capable to raise them properly and
that he realized his own unfitness.
The court vests in the mother the
right TO the possession of her child
rem.
The news spread like wildfire
through the city yesterday morning
and hundreds of messages of con-
graduation poured in upon the moth
er who is in the city. Not one per
son was heard to express regret al
the happy termination of the case.
A telephone message to The State
from Edgefield declared the great
happiness Of the people there, and it
was added that ~ per cent of the
people of Edgefield had throt ,he~.
sided with IL. mother.
The opinion Of the court goes
with clearneSs into the law. The full
text of the decision is given. The
decree was written by Associate
Justice Woods and is concurred in
by the whole court. It is stated un-
officially that the court reached a
decision within IS minutes after
hearing the case.
THE MOTHER NOTIFIED.
According to a promise hereto
fore given, as well as prompted by
the impulses of a kind heart, the
first thing that Col. u. r. Brooks
did when he got the decision of the
supreme court was to phone the
mother of the children over whom
the nation has sorrowed in the last
80 days.
I have good news for you," said
Col. Brooks to the mother. What
do l get my children?" she exclaim-
ed in great JOY. And" said Col.
Brooks when telling of it afterwards.
I'm darned if we both didn't blub-
Der over that telephone" and his
eyes were moist again.
Col. Brooks also notified b. r.
Tillman, Jr., and Henry c. Tillman
by wire. The latter is ali attorney at
Greenwood and son of Senator
Tillman.
MRS. TILLMAN OVERJOYED.
/ am SO happy"
Face, voice, eyes all showed too
plainly the great heartgladness Of
the mother whose babies are to be
restored to her arms.
q reporthe OF The State arrived
just few moments after Mrs. Lucy
Dugas Iillman had been informed
that the State supreme court had
decided in her favor.
With her were two relatives. They
were oyerjoyed, but theirs were
nothing compared with the great
happiness which shone from the
dark eyes OF the young mother
whose pride had been bruised until
she could not in torture visit her
children where she had not home
herself.
When are they coming back to
me" she inquired TREMENDOUSLY
thinking that the reporter had seen
the decision Of the court, oh well
| know my lawyers will hurry them
to me" and the woman in her be-
came manifest. She has been brave
through all this fight. She has not
wavered when faced with court
proceedings and any attempt at
compromises she has SpurneG: but
