South Mississippi institution, but a

appropriations over those made by the
legislature of 1912, l would favor a
liberal appropriation to common
schools and other kindred institutions.
The demand for an increase here
are, l think, equal to if not superior
to those of any other educational in
stitution supported by the state"
Representative Crawford, of Itta-
wanda, said that he came here with
his mind made up to oppose any con-
