TOKYO EDUCATOR
M|N|M|ZES TALK
OF WAR DANGER
Admits Anti-American Feeling
Among Japanese, Mainly Due
to Exclusion Act.
BY DAVID VI. CHURCH.

The thinking people OF japan give
no heed TO talk OF possible war be-
tween the United States and Japan,
according to Professor Shigeo suye-
hiro, OF Kyoto Imperial University,
Tokyo, who Is here today consulting
with leading American statesmen on
the subject of limitation Of srma-
ments
There is war talk in Japan. just as
there is in the United States, Profess
sor Suyehiro said today, but this he
attributes to minority of. those
who have imperialistic plans for the
development of national power" The
great majority of the Japanese peo-
pie are progressive and realize that
peaceful negotiation is far more ef-
fecitve than war, the professor stated.
MASSES AGAINST U. :.
Anti-American feeling exists in
Japan. the educator admitted, but he
refuses to consider this as perma-
nent or a matter which can he given
concern in considering the possible
trend Of relations between the two
nations. The antagonism towards the
United States in Japan exists largely
among the masses, but is q temporary
IctllnB anu mas bttH E'hkhN dbbVuA
by the Yap controversy ano the Cali
tornia land laws.
Much of the misunderstanding
which now exists between the United
States and Japan could he wiped out
by closer contact, the professor be-
lieves. II am greatly IN favor of
sending an American delegation to
Japan in order that our people may
'eceive through personal contact an
accurate idea OF the sentiment pre-
vailing in the United States" he said.
TT would be OF untold advantage
could teh two peoples lie brought
into close touch"
DISARMAMENT FAVORED.
Popular sentiment towards limita-
dion of armament is growing apace
IN the Oriental empire, the professor
declared, and IL is being supported
by the largest business interests.
"Naional organizations, such as
chambers of commerce, which are
much more influential in Japan than
in America, approve the movement"
he stated. Some years ago the
chambers OF commerce were criticised
for actions which were considered a
political interference and incurred
the displeasure of the government,
since which time they have hesitated
to take part in questions having a
political aspect. Disarmament. how
ever, is deemed of such great i'm
portance that they have again taken
a stand publicly.
While in the United States Pro-
fessor Suyehiro will seek to impress
the desire of Japanese for a speedy
disarmament conference and that
such a conference be held publicly.

TWO Interesting
TRIALS LAST week
White Men Tried for Killing
Negroes = One Convicted
the Other Acquitted

1t is sometimes said that a white
man cannot be convicted of muir.
der if the victim is negro. Thi;
may sometime be true, but not al
ways so.
Last week when Floyd Knigh.
ton, of Buena Vista, was acquitted
for the killing of a negro boy who
was proving around his home last
January, you could hear it said
on the streets of Huntingdon that
a white man could not be convicted
for killing negro.
A few days later Lige Crews,
another white man, was tried for
killing a negro, and he was con-
victed, knocking out the theory
advanced when the result of the
first case was announced.
In the first trial the sanctity of
the home and the right to protect
the home against invaders played
an important part. In the last
trial the fact that the white man
had shot craps and drank whisky
with his victim, who was recOg-
nized as bad character, and bis
evident lack of good character
himself operated against the de.
PENDANT in his trial.
Sentiment and sympathy were
strong factors in the first case, the
lack of it hurt Tie defendant in
the second case.

COMMITS suicide
CUTS HIS THROAT
John Brandon Being DespOnd-
emit Over Bad Health Takes
His Own Life

John Brandon, citizen of the
Fourth district, took his own life
last Saturday BY cutting his throat
with a razor. The terrible tragedy
occurred about o'clock in the
afternoon.
Mr.. Brandon lived on the Car
son farm about two miles east of
Mckenzie. For some time he had
been in bad health. and his mind
shown signs of failing. He was
in Kentucky hospital some time
ago for treatment and after re.
turning home had grown des-
pendent.
Saturday morning he tried to
borrow gun from two parties
but failed to get one to suit him.
After eating a hearty dinner he
left the house and went down into
a field and an hour later was found
lying on the ground dead, with a
deep cut on the right side of his
throat. He bled freely and must
have died instantly. He still held
the razor in his hand.
Mr.. Brandon was about so years
old and is survived by his wife
and several children. He came to
this county a few years ago from
Hazel KY, and his remains we're
carried back there for burial.
He was a clever man with many
friends.

M'KENZIE LEGION
CELEBRATES FOURTH
Captain Gordon Browning and
Hon. D. A. BuFkhalter are
Speakers-Lar Crowd

The American Legion Of Me-
Kenzie, full of patriotism and pep,
pulled off one of the biggest Fourth
of July demonstrations last Mon
day witnessed in these parts for
many years. TIE occasion bad
been well advertised and a crowd,
estimated at 5000 people from
Carroll, Henry and Weakley coun-
ties, was in attendance.
The crowd gathered in a beauti-
full grove near town and the day
was spent in listening to speeches,
music, recitations and witnessing
games of sport and fun. The Mi
Ian band furnished music, Hon. ID.
A. Burkhalter spoke 10 the MORN
ing and Capt. Gordon Browning
in the afternoon. Several young
ladies gave Rotations. The old
fiddleFs' contest was most inter.
esting feature of the occasion, as
was drill by a number of soldiers
and sailors in uniform. There was
a ball game between the Mckenzie
and Paris teams, resulting in a VIC
tory for the visiting nine.
There was plenty of barbecued
meat With the trimmings, and a
number Of cold drink stands helped
to quench the thirst of the crowd.
The affair was we'll managed and a
big success. The legion has de-
cided to make this an annual af-
fair. The business houses closed
and everybody gave the boys a
helping hand by attending and CO.
operating with them in adding to
the success of the day.

The wild blackberry crop is now
being gathered and placed on the
local market. The yield is said to
be fairly good, considering the
extremity dry weather which has
hurt the growth and maturity of
the berry to some extent. The
berry, consequently, is not so
large as is some time the case.
The prices have been very good
and the colored people especially
have gathered and sold quite q
quantity of the crop for canning
purposes.

Mrs. R. K. Perry Dead

Mrs. Willie Bell Perry, wife of
r. K. Perry, OF Mckenzie, died
last Saturday night at IL o'clock
after an illness of four weeks with
typhoid fever. The deceased had
the very best attention but the
skill of physicians and care of
friends failed to over come the
disease and save her to her loved
ones and friends. Mrs. Perry was
a most excellent woman, being a
devoted member of the Methodist
church and was held in the very
highest esteem by all who knew
her. She was not only devoted to
her famil v, but she was a useful
member of her community and
she will be missed. She is sur
vived by her husband and several
children some of them quite young.
The burial occurred Tuesday at
Chapel Hill, in the community
where she formerly lived. A short
funeral service was held at the
home in Mckenzie before leaving
for the cemetery, conducted by
Rev. Edgar Mccoy. The bereaved
have the sympathy of host of

that Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue Blair had about decided
to appoint Eugene Priest to sue
coed e. B. Craig as internal rev.
enue collector at Nashville. Since
then political influence, aggres.
isvely asserted, has made the ap-
pointment OF Judge Pat Brewer,
of Jasper, Marion county, pro-
liability. The latter has the united
support of the republican state
organization and of the FIVE re-
publican congressman from Ten
nessee.
Mr.. Priests nominationis urged
BY former United States Senator
Newell Sanders and by a large
element in both political parties
whose interest 10 the contest seems
to be prompted by the desire to
see deserved Official honor right
fully bestowed regardless of party
or factlonsl alignment. The stock
argument used against Priest is
that he has never been construc-
lively active in republican poll
tics in his state.
