SAMPLE OF CHINESE JUSTICE
Possibly a Little of This Might Wake
Up Some Town Authorities In
America.

1t appears that when one has lived
IT. China for some time and studied its
institutions the one thought that
strikes him Is the feeling Of RESPONSE
bility that pervades every phase Of
Chinese life. This sense of reSpOnSi-
blity makes useless the ordinary eX-
cuses that weigh with American or
European.
Two men were gambling In an OBJ"
scure part of one town, In room hid
den away from observation. A dis
pute arose over the game; it ended in
fight, and one of them got a fatal
stab. 1t was 2 o'clock in the morning
when the incident took place. The
whole city was asleep, and the tipao,
the headman of the ward, and his
family were in bed, so that he was en-
tirely unaware of what was going on.
His protestations were received with
sheer and with the remark, "Well, you
ought to have known"
"But how could II? he asked.
"Never mind, now" was the official
answer: that is your business. The
ward Is In your charge and you are
the responsible person to look after
It,"
With that he was thrown upon his
face and a couple of sturdy lictors,
who had been looking at him with
hungry and expectant eyes, proceeded
to administer with their bamboos a
lesson in the art of ruling ward that
would keep him in recumbent posi-
ton for at least week to come.-EN.

SAYS HALF MILLION
NEGROES QUIT SOUTH
Department of Labor Declares
Georgia Gave Up 120,-
600 of Them.

Nearly half million negro mi
grants left their abodes and occupa-
tions in thirteen southern states
during the year ended August 81,
1928, the Department of Labor an
nounced today. The exact number
was 47S.7O0, of which Georgia sup
piled the largest number, 120,6OO
leaving that state.
A number of southern chambers of
commerce gave the opinion that the
coming winter would witness the re-
turn to the south of large numbers
of the departees. Some officials were
sure that the yield of their states
could be traced to specific areas and
that, hence, it was not movement
of general proportions. Another fea-
ture of the exodus, the department
said, was that it is semi-perpetual
inasmuch as the departing negroes
were replaced by incomers, who in
turn were succeeded, until many OF
those who first left had returned to
their original domicile.
Analysis shows that Alabama
yielded 10000 migrants; Arkansas
5000; Florida, 10000. Georgia, 120.-
500; Kentucky, $500: Louisiana. 49,
600; Mississippi, $4,000: North Caro-
lima, $4,000; Oklahoma, 1000; South
Carolina, $4,000: Tennessee. 10000

DENIES NEGLIGENCE
BY CAPT. GWYNNE
Capt. BiEighaus Says He Was in
Close Touch With Legless
Soldier Case.

Another witness testified today
that Capt. Samuel c. Gwynne, Army
surgeon, retired, now being tried by
general court-martial on charges of
malpractice, was guiltless of any
neglect during the case in point.
Capt. James Bibighaus. Army Med
ical Corps, who was administrative
officer at the Fort Eustis hospital
when Capt. Gwynne had immediate
charge of the treatment of Private
Guy Pendleton. whose fractured legs
later were amputated at Walter Reed
Hospital, was on the stand all yes
terday afternoon and this morning
and is considered the chief witness
by both the prosecution and defense.
He testified that he was in close
touch with the Pendleton case, on
which the court-martial is based, and
that the doctors handling 1t were
most diligent in their care and treat
ment, and that no sign of any neglect
was ever evident.
His testimony this morning was
that Capt. Gwynne had once said to
him, "If 1 did not have absolute con-
fidence in Maj. Cooks judgment l
should object to his mode of treat
ment to adjust the fractures of Pen
dleton's legs" The witness said that
Gwynne had different ideas on the
method of procedure from his supe-
rior, but that he had carried out his
orders as well as could be done.

BOIL WEEVL HELD
WORST CROP MENACE
Pest Cause of $4,000, 100000 Loss
to Cotton Growers, Speaker
Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

GOLDSBORO. n. c., October "a
No menace to any agricultural prod
ucts in the history of the world can
be compared with the menace now
confronting the cotton-producing in
dustrr. due to the boil weevil, Angus
w. Mclean. banker, of Lumberton,
y. c., former director of the War
Finance Corporation. declared in an
address prepared for delivery today
before several hundred eastern North
Carolina farmers and business men
attending a convention here intended
to develop a program for combating
the ravages of the boil pest
The outcome of the fight between
the farmer and the weevil, the speak
er said, depends solely on the farm
the insect. Mr.. Mclean said the
ravages of the weevil since 1909
represented a loss of $4,000, 100000 to
the southern farmers, the damage In
1921 alone being placed at $6lO.OO0,-
000 and is constantly increasing. He
pointed out that Americas suprem-
acy as cotton-producing nation
is definitely threatened.
Efforts of the federal government
to develop a successful means of
controlling or eXterminating the pest
were declared to be insignificant"
with only about 100000 per year
being spent on laboratory and field
research work. The solution of
the problem is essentially one of in
vention." he said, advocating the
establishment of a biological, chemi-
cal, mechanical laboratory by the
federal government in each cotton
growing state for work exclusive on
this program. He urged agricultural,
industrial and commercial interests
to cooperate with the federal gov
ernment's efforts to solve the problem
because of the economic considera-
tons involved.
