There is no Go-cart made that is as

A frail woman can wheel it over curbs,

It is handsomely designed, well tail

South Carolina Labor Law XNUii anu

Magistrate Powers and Justice Gary
have played havoc with the South
Carolina labor contract law, according
to a dispatch from Bennettsville. A
case in Marlboro county was tried
by Magistrate Powers at Bennetts
ville in which Rant Nichols was
charged with violating the labor con
tract law, found guilty, was sentenc
ed to pay a-fine of ?40 or servo 30

vember, obligating to cultivate a
share crop, but did not move on wit
prosecutor's plantation, never per
formed any work under the contract
and the landlord had not advanced 1
cent in money or supplies.
The magistrate held that the de
fenedant was guilty, the defendant
could not pay the heavy fine and the
defendant's attorney toon me case un
der habeas corpus proceedings be
fore Chief Justice Gary. The Chief
Justice's decision renders null and
void the labor contract law in South
Carolina creating great confusion in
this county. ,

David N. Carvalho. of New York,
the renQwned handwriting expert,
who testified in the famous Drey
fus case, was on the stand much of
the session of the Federal Court to
day in the trial of Citizens canK
of Norfolk against J. Sprunt New
ton, Mrs. Newton, Adam McArthur
and others, and testined tnat in nis
the A Ham McArthur signa
ture on the f 25,000 note being sued
for is not genuine.
Mr. Carvalho undertook to show
by enlarged photographs and magni
fying glasses that in the "A" for
Adam there are nine pauses of the
pen while the letter was being form
ed. He said the letter "R" in the
admittedly genuine signatures of
Adam McArtnur, nave a vertical ten
dency with slight slants -to the left,
while the letter, slants to the right in
the disputed signature. He pointed
out that there is a definite base line
for the admittedly genuine signatures
and a noticeable irregularity and
downward or oval tendency in the
disputed signature. He pointed out
an upward stroke in the finish of the
admittedly genuine signatures and
a long downward stroke on the one
in dispute. He also held that the
crossing of the "T" in the disputed
signature is different through a
elant fnwnwarrl instead of UDWards.
Tha nnt hnarinc the disDuted sig
nature was placed in the hands of
the jurors along witn powenui mag

indicated by differences in the letter
"R" in " "Mrs." and "McAihur as

Under sharp cross-examination, he
