County Statistics.

Through the courtesy ofHon. a. u. Chap-
man we have received a compendium of the
10th census of the U. s., made in 1885, anu
from it we gather the following interesting
statistics relative to our county: Inc 'o''i
population of the county at the time was le,
54S; whites 100, colored lO,SiS; male g.
1884, female 8, 1854 the total voting population
was 3999 The value of the real estate IN the
county was 81, ,294, SIC, and of personal pro-
perty 81, l47 ,437; and the whole debt >! ooo'
In the point of public debt our county Is
sngularly fortunate, as there were but two
other counties in the State, Montgomery and
Kent, with debt less than ours at that time !;
though by recent act of the Legislature we
have incurred further debt of s., 900, or the
payment of jurors, witnesses, etc, which mas
been assumed since the census was complied
aud which will run the public deb, up to Sl2'-
900. In looking over this compendium we
were much surprised to see the large amount
of money annually expended here for feaces
and fertilizers, though these two things ale IN
despensible to successful farming. For fences
we expend annually S3l ,95s, and for fertilizers
S43,5ll. These were the figures for the year
1879, and it is safe to assume that they remain
nearly approximate to them each year. le the
raising of cereals our county is far behind most
there IS saP5psos,11a Ia oats barley and rye the
here, the product is only 4l2, las bushels and
only FIVE counties ia the State raise "A less
amount. Our wheat product reaches los, l33
bushels, though as farmers are new beginning
to pay more attention to this crop we may ex-
psct the amount of product soon to be far in
excess of these figures. With US tobacco is
king" for in the production OF this crop We
are only excelled by Prince Georges county
and that by only a small figure. We raise
annual, of this crop s. las, 500 pounds. The
annual sale of all products in the county
amount to S7S3, 800.
