editor of the New Albany Ga
zette, will introduce a bill in the
next legislature to provide for a
state reformatory for the way
ward youth of Mississippi. 1t is
the plan of Mr.. Owen to remove
all convicts off the Rankin farm
and convert the farm into a state
reformatory. The farm is OF
sufficient size to accommodate
both white and negroes. giving
to each separate apartments.
School facilities will be provided
and everything done to stop the
unfortunates in their criminal
tendencies. Mississippi is be-
hind other states in this respect
and it is time she was making
some provisions to give this class
of her citizenship a chance.
Many boys could be saved from
a criminal career if they were
placed where the proper restraint
was had before they had pro-
crossed too far in their criminal
propensities. Mr.. Owen should
find unanimous support of his
measure.

The kilograms from Jackson
are beginning to foreshadow
the salient features Of Governor
Brewers biennial message to
the Legislature which convenes
in January.
It is stated positively that Gov
enor Brewer will renew his
recommendation that a Court of
Appeals be created by the Legis-
lature. It is well remembered
that Governor Brewers inaugural
address was an unusually able
and statesman-like paper. The
Governor pointed out several
lines of action for the Legisla-
ture which. if adopted, would
place Mississippi many strides
