Three old cromcH, n cobbler, the printer and a retired judge take upon themselves tho re sponsibility of educating nn orphaned boy nnd seeing to it thai ho accom plishes his purpoKe In life. This hoy by tho exercise of his common sense, plus a little good detective work saves tho villagers from the finan cial disaster and likewise untangles tho skeins of a lovo affair that has gone awry. Thoro Is no great "prob lem" solved In "Southern Justice," no deep laid crimes to bo punished or nny very serious vlllinny to be un- tnniikcd.
