CHILD LABOR
LAW NOT VALID
ACT OF CONGRESS PROHIBITED
EXPORT OF PRODUCTS IN
WHOSE MANUFACTURE THE
CHILD LABOR LAW HAD
BEEN USED

Washington, May 16.--The child
labor law was today held by the su-
preme court to be unconstitutional
and not valid.
The supreme court having held in
valid an act of congress which pro-
hibited the expectation of products
in whose manufacture child labor
had been used, substantially the
same law was re-enacted with an
excise tax of ten per cent imposed
upon the annual net profits of es-
Establishments employing child labor.
Opponents of the law contended it
was an unconstitutional invasion of
the police powers of the states.
The decision of the court was rend
cred in a case brought by the gov
ernment against the Drexel Furni-
ture company of North Carolina and
was one of three cases brought in
that state testing the validity of the
law, and in all of which the Uni
ted States district court decided
against the government. -,
The Atherton mills case from
North Carolina, brought originally to
test the constitutionality Of the
child labor law, was dismissed today
by the supreme court. 1t sought to
restrain the mill from discharging
John w. johnson, a minor whose
continued employment would have
imposed under the law a penalty up
on the net annual profits of the
mill. Since the case has been pend
ing in the courts the minor reached
an age when the law would no long
er apply to him, and it therefore be-
came moot, other cases being substi-
tuted by the gvernment to test the
law.
The supreme court announced to-
day that the case brought by the
government against John George
and others Of North Carolina to test
the constitutionality of the child
labor act also would be dismissed.

NO PARTICIPATION
BY UNITED STATES
TO TAKE PART IN
SECOND ECONOMIC DISCUS.
SION TO BE HELD AT THE HA-
CUE DECLINED IN MESSAGE
FROM STATE DEPARTMENT.

Washington, May 16.-The state
department made public last night the
text of a message to Ambassador
Child at Genoa declining the invita-
ton to participate in the new Euro
pean economic conference at The
Hague.
"This government" the American
communication said, "is unable. to
conclude that it can helpfully partic-
ipate in the meeting at The Hague
as this would appear to be the con-
t;nuance under a different nomen-
clature of the Genoa conference and
destined to encounter the same diff
ficulties if the attitude disclosed in
the Russian memorandum of May II
remains unchanged"
The "inescapable and ultimate
question:" the American note said,
would appear to be the restoration
of productivity in Russia, the essen
tial conditions of which are still to be
secured and must in the nature of
things be provided within Russia her
self"
The state department communica-
ton said the American government
"has always been ready" to join
other governments in arranging for
"an inquiry by experts into the eco
nomic situation in Russia and the
necessary remedies" Such an inquiry
it was added could deal appropriate
ly with the economic prerequisite"
for restoration of Russian produc-
ton, without which sound basis for
credits would be lacking.
In conclusion the American COM
munication renewed the offer to give
serious attention to "any new pro-
posals issuing from the Genoa con-
ference or any later conference" but
added that the suggestions for the
meeting at The Hague in view of the
Russian memorandum lacked "the
defniteness which would make pos
sible the concurrence of this govern
ment in the proposed PLAN"

Judge Frank B. Gary yesterday
filed his order in the Habeas Corpus
proceeding involving the custody OF
Louise Clinkscales. The case was
heard by Judge Gary Saturday: a
number of interested Lowndesvills
people attending the hearing.
The text of the order reproduced
below will give the material facts Of
the case as we'll as the rulings and
holdings of the Judge. The order,
omitting the formal parts, is as fol-
lows:
This is habeas corpus proceeding
instituted for the purpose of deter
mining who shall have the custody of
Louise Clinkscales, an infant ten
years of age. The conditions that
give rise to the contention may be
briefly stated as follows: The wife of
the petitioner died short time after
the birth of this infant, and her
grandmother, Mrs. E. C. Meschine,
has cared for her in every way un-
til the death of Mrs. Meschine about
ten months ago. Whatever may have
been the conditions upon which Mrs.
Meschine took the child, (and about
this there is some conflict of testi-
mony) there is no question that the
child was reared in the household
of her grandparents and no one
other than the members of this house
hold has contributed anything to her
bringing up. After the death of Mrs.
E. C. Meschine about ten months ago
the child remained as a member of
the Mesehine household, being cared
for by her grandfather, her two un-
cles and the wife of one of these
uncles. About two weeks ago the
grandfather died. The appearance of
the child indicates most careful
raising. She manifested much intelli-
gence and much affection for the re-
manning members Of the Meschine
household with whom she strongly
desires to live. They manifest the
same love for her. She is in the fourth
grade at school and is a regular at
tendant upon the Sunday Schools.
Many of the citizens of the vicinity
Of the Meschine home attest the

HARVEY WILL NOT
. ENTER PRIMARIES
NOT IN RACE FOR GOVERNOR
OR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
BUT FEELS HE OWES 1T TO
STATE TO DEVOTE HIS TIME
TO NEW OFFICE. n

Columbia, May 16.-In response,
to an invitation from Governor Coop
er to come to Columbia for a confer
ence, Wilson G. Harvey, of Charles
ton, Lieutenant Governor, spent yes
terday here taking up, with the Gov
ernor many matters connected with
the Governors office. While he had
no announcements to make at this
time, as he feels that such state
ments should emanate from the Gov
ernor, Lieutenant-Governor Harvey
stated that he thought it wise for
him at this time to state his position
with reference to going into the pri-
mary this summer. .!:,.
"My business obligations in Char
lesion for the next several months"
he said, coupled as they will be with
the official duties incident to the
Governorship would preclude me
from expending the time and money
necessary to a State canvass and
campaign for the Governorship, con-
sequently I will not be candidate
for Governor in the Forthcoming
campaign. In reaching this determi-
nation have had to curb natural
inclination so to do, and to deny the
kind urging on the part of many
friends whose interest and kindness
and offers so much appreciate. =
"The announcement made by me
a few weeks ago that l would be a
candidate for reelection for Lieuten-
ant-Governor was made with the firm
determination on my part to stand
for the office on my record and make
State canvass for the Office, if I
could have secured the Office by an
nouncing myself and not making the
canvass. l desired it, otherwise l did
not care for it.
"It is needless to say that in the cir
cumstances which have since mate
rialized I will not now be candidate
for LieutenantJG Governor" ..
When asked if he had made any
arrangements looking to appoint
ments, Mr.. Harvey said that while
nothing definite had been determined
upon, it would be his policy to con-
tinue in service the present clerical
force in the Governors Office. The
best interests of the State he felt
would be served by having those IA
miliar with the duties remain in Of
flee during the months to come.

SWEAR|NGEN RUNS
FOR HIGH OFFICE
WILL BE IN RACE FOR COVER
NORSHIP OF STATE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF EDU-
CATION IN PRIMARY THIS
SUMMER

Columbia, May &c. E.
Swearingen, state superintendent of
education, yesterday announced that
he would be a candidate for COVER
nor in the Democratic primary this
summer.
Mr.. Swearingen is widely known
over the state, is recognized as
man Of ability and strength and the
announcement of his intention to en-
ter the primary will be read with in
terest Some months ago, when a
meeting of the county superintend-
ents of education of the state was
being held, motion was made to
the effect that the superintendent
indorse Mr.. Swearingen for governor
Mr.. Swearingen would not put the
motion while he was. in the chair,
but later it was stated and was act
ed upon favorably with some one
else presiding. Since that time there
have been numerous rumors to the
effect that Mr.. Swearingen would
throw his hat in the ring, but while
he had been asked many times
whether or not he would make the
race, he withheld a definite reply,
though his friends knew that he was
giving the matter careful considera-
ton.
Several times when he was asked
whether or not he was going to run
he spoke of his interest in the public
schools and of the opportunity for
service the Office Of the superintend-
ent of education gave him.

ALL FARM PRODUCTS
ON DUT|ABLEL LIST.
SENATOR GOODING, CHAIRMAN
OF TARIFF BLOC SAYS HE
FINDS NONE ON FREE LIST.
AVERAGE ON FARM PROD
UCTS is % $40 PER CENT.

Washington, May 16.-All prod
ucts of the farm are on the dutiable
list in the McCumber-F Fordney tariff
bill, Senator Gooding, of Idaho,
chairman of the Republican agricul-
tural tariff bloc, announced today in
the Senate.
eff any farm product is on the
free list, I do not know what it is,"
he said.
"If we find it we will put it on the
dutiable list if it needs protection"
Senator Gooding said the average
rate of duty in the bill on farm pro-
ducts was 21 $40 per cent and called
attention that only few things pro-
duced by the farmer were on the du-
table list in the Underwood law.
The Idaho Senator declared that
the United States fought to pretty
near close it's ports," to similar for
eign products when there was an
overproduction of staple farm prod
ucts. He declared that when there
was an overproduction of manufac-
tured articles the manufacturers
closed their factories with the ap-
proval of the public, but added that
the farmer could not cease produc-
ton. He argued, however, that what
he described as the Democratic pol
icy of "free trade" would drive the
farmers to a curtailment of output.
The tariff bloc, chairman asserted
that "all this talk about the McCum-
Der bill being framed behind closed
doors is without foundation"

CUSTODY OF LOUISE CLINKSCALES
AWARDED TO THE MESCHINES
JUDGE ORDER HEARD SATURDAY WHICH
HE HOLDS MEsCHINEs ENTITLED TO REAR AND CARE FOR
CHILD COMMITTED TO PARENTS CARE

moral character of the uncles and
the aunt by marriage, and testify to
their fitness and ability to properly
look after the child.
The father of the child has mar
ried again and now has wife and
three small children. He was recently
convicted of violation of the prohi-
bition law and remained in Jail for
quite awhile being unable to pay his
fine. He secured his release by re-
sorting to the pauper debtors Act.
Barring this, nothing is shown against
his moral character.
In determining what should be
done with the child, her welfare is
the paramount consideration. No one
has an absolute right to her custody
that is superior to her welfare. In
determining what is best for the child
the Court is not unmindful of the
claims of parental feeling to consid-
Grafton. In this case, however, those
feelings have not been fostered by
association with her, and by doing
for her in her helpless state. But on
the other hand others than the faith
er have been permitted to perform
those services for her. These SER
vices inevitably created strong ties
of love between the child and those
who have cared for her and who are
still caring for her. In view of the
strong and intelligent preference as
exhibited by the child for those who
are caring for her, and her indiffer-
ence to those who are now seeking
to get possession of her, I think it
would be cruel to disturb the happy
relations now existing. Perhaps the
father will be better prepared from
a moral standpoint and from finan-
cial standpoint than he now is to
rear this child as she should be. Per-
haps, her environment will be such
that her welfare will demand that
other disposition be made of her. II
such time should come, the Courts
will be open to those interested in
changing her situation, and the Court
presumably will act as it now seeks
to act, with an eye single to the well
