This was the Countryman, edited and published on the plantation of "Turnwold," not far from Eatonton. Here he learned the first principles of newspaper work, here in the Turner library, remarkable for it's time and place, he browsed among the classics, and here and on neighboring plantations he unconsciously saturated his memory with the speech and stories of the race which he was to interpret for the world, years later. His literary at tempts at that time were of the pre- tentious and hifalutin order then in vogue; but they were a beginning. His talent for journalism was evident; it gave him a respectable place, while still very young, on various southern newspapers of the best standing, and led finally to his long connection with the Atlanta COHSiIlullOil MedHWHlle, the 'OlHer L6l- low had emerged as Uncle Remus, and the world embarrassingly laid itself at Joe Harris feet.

Picking, April Substitution by
the Japanese of civil administration
for military rule in Tsingtau and
along the Tsingtau-Tsinan railway
which is regarded here as giving the
appearance of permanency to Japan's
occupation of that territory in Shan
tung wrested from the Germans at
the beginning of the war, has aroused
the indignation of the Chinese local
population. This has been expressed
in petitions to the central govern
ment to the governors of other prov
inces and to influential Chinese or
CARNATIONS.
The Chinese government has pro-
tested to Toxic and has received a
reply stating in effect that the inaug-
Iuration Of civil government was do
with the idea that it might please the
local population better than a military
regime
Japan's point of view, as described
here, is that any obligations to vacate
the territory in question after the war
which existed by virtue OF Japan's
declaration at the time of its occupa-
ton, has been annulled by China's
declaration of war against Germany
and the consequent cancellation of ex.
listing treaties.
1t is understood in Picking that ia.
pan holds that the ultimate disposi.
ton of this territory must be the sub
lject of further negotiations between
China and Japan.

with despair Japans action, say much

by the paragraph in written protest
by the Shantung Provincial Assembly,
which reads: Our fellow men in the

Ilamities have determined never to
taste Japanese fish or meat even
though they starve."
Causes of complaint cited in pro-
tests which are raining in upon the
central government follow:
In Tsingtau, Fangtze, Changtien
and Tsinan the Japanese have estab-
lished civil administration depart
ments in disregard for Chinese SOW
ereignty. The Germans during the en-

pointed out, never attempted to insti.
