Legislature.

Mr.. 7. W. Brame, as was seen by
his card in last weeks Beacon, an
nounces as candidate for the Leg
islature, subject to the call of the
governor, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Hon. John K.
Dinsmore. Mr.. Brame's friends feel
that in this critical time, when, due
to extravaganza in legislative apnro-
priations, as well as every r,h,>
phase Of life, the country has 4
into such depressed fnancis u
tion as to cause ordinary citil n 20
have a sinking feeling wh-n he
forces himself to think and woader
where and how he will raise the
money to pay next years taxes, that
an experienced and tried man is
needed in the Legislature to keep
down the expenses Of the State gov.
ernment and cut down, if possible
the appropriations that We're made in
flush times, when cotton was bring
ing from SOC to a dollar a pound,
and no thought was given to future
and what time has brought forth.
Mr. Brame needs no introduction
at our hands. He has represented
the State in the Legislature before
and his ability as a law-maker and
the interest he has was displayed
for the welfare of the country is
well known. and his friends to feel
his election should be certain.
He will not make a canvass of the
county but will leave it to the judge-
ment of the voters wheather he is
the man to serve. them.

CUTTING DOWN ILLITERACY.

It is Gratifying to know that liter
acy is gradually being obliterated in
this stafa Government reports say
that thee are 328,372 children in
Mississippi between the ages Of 7
and 13 years, ard of this number
2e3l80, or OIL per cent, were re-
ported attending school.
In 1850 the percentage reported as
attendirs school was 75.4; thus indi-
eating gratifying Improvement as
RECORDS ehoolattendance.
Of thr children II and Is years of
age, last year 75.2 per cent We're at
tending school and Of those 16 and
II Years ef age 51.6 per cent were
school attendants.
OF the White children 7 to 10 years
of aga T per cent were attending
schQeB sc441Q and sol per cent in
1920 For col0red cniidren Of the
same age the percentage in the same
interval increased from go to 71.5.
The percentage Of children attend
ing schools wes considerably larger
in the cities than in the country dis
tricts, the percentage of children in
the urban population T to 13 years
of age being S9.2, while in the rural
population is was 79.1. "Urban,"
according to the census definition,
includes all cities and other incor-
porated places of $500 population or
more.
What is true of the public schools
is also true Of the higher education
al institutions. During the past
session all the colleges, both state
and denominational, in the state
were full to overflowing and many
went outside the state who could not
find Accommodations at home.
This is a most gratifying eondi-
tion and speaks well for the future
Of the state. Due to our large pro-
portion Of negro population, Missis-
sippi has for many years been cred
tied with a big percentage of litter
ates, but thinks to liberal support
Of the public and the inclination Of
the people to take advantage of the
opportunities presented by the state,
that condition is fast disappearing e.
