Deepest interest is manifest here in the bill now before the house in refer ence to the right of the father to deed, without the consent of the mother, a wuy the custody of children. C. C. Featberstone was asked Satur day if he cared to express an opinion I on tho bill of Senator Graydon now be fore the general essombly. which Beeks to restrict the statute under winch Senator Tillman is endeavoring to keep possession of his son's children against the wishes of their mother. Mr. Featberstone was reminded of the fact that be was a candidate for governor this year and therefore might not care to express hi? opinion espe. cially when the rights of Senator Till man were involved. Hut. in reply, be said that it made no difference what ever that he was a candidate, nor wbose rights were involved, that be heartily commended the bill intro duced by Senator Graydon and hoped P would become a law.

"An act which allows a father, who is admittedly incompetent to take cue Of bis children (and little girls at that) to convey them to a third person, to the exclusion of their mother ami with Utter disregard to her rights, is bar barous and unworthy the stale of Smith Carolina: it is enough to make tin- blood of every true man boll," said he.

Mr. Fenthersttne snid: "I am truly sorry that Senator Till man ever permitted himself to become a party to any such transaction: even alter (he d.1 was in tide, when be found that the mother wnnted her babies, be ought to have turned them over to her without litigation und without forcing her into the courts." Mr. Featberstone staled that he did not believe that the act now in force was ever Intended to apply to such a case, inn that it should nevertheless he swept from the Statute? books, so as to lenave no room lor doubt am) to prevent nny misinterpretation.
