In the panhandle section of the State,

It has comparatively little influence
on the efigures for the entire State.
"The same conditions prevail in the
eastern part of the State that have
been noted in other Southern States,
In the Mississippi Valley. In num-
Der of counties there was an actual
falling off.
"The gain recorded, almost % per-
cent, is large for SO extensive an area
as Texas, and there should be no rea-
@on for dissatisfaction. The census
was taken by Texas people, and there
ID no reason to suppose that they |
would defraud themselves.
Another count would involve the |
same possibilities of error and would |
probably afford no relief to the feeH-
lngs of the inhabitants Of the State.
Moreover, a recount would stand in
the way of the reapportionment for

at large TO support generously the
proposition, in order that the insti-
tuition may go on with its work of
charity to homeless and destitute
