A Depiorable Condition.

The draft revealed most de-
plorable condition which exists
throughout the United States,
but which was remarkably notice
able. especially as regards the
South. Satisfies show that of the
hundreds of thousands Of men
drawn in the draft an average Of
about eight in each hundred
could not read and write This
average is for the whole United
States, and runs much higher
when applied soley to men from
the southern states.
The South's high average Of
illiteracy was to a considerable
degree due to our high percent
age OF negro population, but the
fact remains a great big part Of
the South's illiterates were white
men. The condition is one Of
which the South should be heart
lily ashamed, and every possible
step should be taken to remedy
It. There is hardly a state in the
South which is spending half
what it should for educational
purposes and we of the South
should start at once to improve
the deplorable conditions the
draft reVealed.-McC Comb Enter

Mr.. Editor:-I see in the Bran
don News of last week, an article
written by Mr.. y. J. Wilson to
Major Pat Henry, of Brandon, in
regard to having an elaborate
reception for the boys returning
from "over there" l think that a
meeting of that kind would be all
right. Mr.. Wilson said that this
was a mere suggestion on his
part, but our big hearted patrio-
tic noble man, Major Pat Henry,
endorses all Mr.. Wilson has said.
think that on April 3Oth which
is Memorial Day, should be the
day set apart for the meeting. And
/ hope that a Mass meeting be
held in Brandon early in April to
make any necessary arrangements
for the reception. I have two
boys over in France and hope
that they will be back in old glory
by that time. And am sure that
they, and all the rest of the boys
that will be back by that time
would enjoy the occasion.
Wishing the meeting the great
est success.
| am yours,
N. H. Nash.

European Rulers May Visit
America. &

It now appears that, as one. Of
the results of President Wilson's
trip to Europe, America will have
the privilege of entertaining the
heads of the Governments Of Eng
land, France, and possibly Italy.
In this connection President
Poincare of France has just an
nounced the fact that he will
probably make trip to America
next June or July. There is also
a reason to believe that King
George of England will visit this
country in the near future; and
while there has yet been no def
mite announcement regarding the
matter, there seems to be but lit
tie doubt that King Victor I'M
manuel of Italy will also return
the Presidents visit to Italy by
making a trip to the United
States.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

The question of reducing the
acreage Of cotton is receiving a
great deal Of attention from edi-
tors, agricultural specialist, bank
ers and farmers. Suggestions have
been made. theories advanced and
numerous calculations made as to
the best way to handle the cotton
problem for the present year in
order to maintain profitable
price. Politicians and political
writer's have come forth with vari-
ed gas" attacks, and have done
their best to tell the farmers lust
what to do in order to land on TOP
this fall and avoid the sting of
Improbable cotton. All these eff
forts have some virture, and we
trust will be productive of ma
terial benefit to our farmers. But
why should we seek some solution
TO this problem from afar when
every farmer in Rankin county
knows very well how to handle it
in mastery way, If he will only
practice his convictions. The
whole thing in q nut shell is this /:
plant enough acreage to corn to
make plenty for home use. and to
feed q few head of hogs for mark
ct; grow plenty Of syrup, potatoes
etc Tor home use and some to sell.
then when you are sure that Won
have made things safe at home.
plant some cotton. # you have a
living at home and enough surplus
90 pay taxes etc, what do you care
about the price Of cotton?
Any farmer in Mississippi with
experience, who still depends on
cotton to buy bread and meat de-
serves to starve, for the example
has been worked out by his neigh
bors and both sides presented in
the fair light.
Let's be sensible farmers and
protect ourselves and families by
first making sure that we are safe
ct home, then if necessary play
the cotton game, but remember
you are not able to play it until
YOU have the corn and meat at
home.

prevailed upon by many of mis-
friends to enter the race for Rep
preventative. Mr.. Stubblefield ID
one of the ablest men available
for that place, and should he de-
eide to enter the campaign, we
predict for him a strong and en-
thusiastic following. His record
in that body is q good one, and
the people are beginning to appre-
ciate the splendid service that he
rendered.
George Ware was q Brandon
visitor Saturday, and informed
The News that he has reconsider
ed the matter Of running for Of
fee, and at the earnest solicita-
tions of many friends from diff
ferent parts of the county, he has
decided to enter the race for
Representative. George is q very
popular young man, and will be q
strong factor in Rankin county
politics. His announcement will
appear lin a few weeks.
William B. Mayors has re-
ceived an honorable discharge
from the army, and came home
the latter part Of last week. He
was in England and France for
several weeks, and while he did
not see active service at the
front he was in line for that
service, and had hostitilities con-
tinued much longer his regiment
would have been among those
numbered at the front. He is
glad to get back, and his friends
are delighted to see him home
again, and looking so we'll.

C. w. Alliston was shaking
hands with his many Brandon
friends Monday. Politically, Mr..
Alliston is as dumb as an oyster,
and declares that he will posi-.
lively have nothing to do with
politics this year. This attitude
is a most unusual one for our
friend, Walter, and we are at a
loss to understand the meaning
of it. He wouldn't even go so far
as TO venture a prediction on the
outcome of the election in Ger
many, nor of the political out
look of the sultan Of Zulu.
Sunday was Ground Hog day.
and was a most favorable one
for the advent of that little ami
NAL. According to the belief Of
some an early spring may be ex-
pected. The Ground Hog comes
out on the second day Of Febru-
airy each year, and if the day is
cloudy and the sun fails to shine,
he stays out, and spring is near
at hand. If however, the day is
fair, he sees his shadow when he
comes from winter quarters, and,
quietly slips back and rests for
another six weeks, indicating
that winter weather may be ex-
pected for that period of time.
