CHARLBsToN's CENSUS.
A Feeling that the Work Has Been
Loosely Done.

a Feeling that the WORK Has Been
Loosely Done.
CHARLESTON. s. c., June 17.-There is
widespread discomfort here about the result
of the census enumeration, and there is
good reason for Believing that the work has
been loosely done. Several of the enumera-
tors gave up their work. and, therefore, the
time will be extended at least until to-mor-
row. The white enumerators seem to have
done their work pretty thoroughly. The
negro enumerators, on the other hand, seem
TO have done 1t very loosely. 1t is said that
hundreds Of families have not been counted.
There are thirty districts in the city, each
of which was calculated to show over 1000
population. Some of these fall from 500 to
900 behind, and it is claimed that this is
caused by the negligence Of the enumera-
tors.
WHOLE FAMILIES LEFT OUT.
Numbers of cases have been reported
where enumerators have refused to count
the members OF a household who had been
sent to the summer resorts in another state
after June /. A number Of other cases are
reported in which the enumerator has never
even called at the house. The last city
census two years ago gave population of
$1,000. 1t is thought that the present census
will show a total Of not over $4,000 1t is
also said that the increase in the colored
population is considerably more than that
in the whites.
MOBILE WANTS A FULL COUNT.
MOBILE, June 17.-Much apprehension
exists here about the result of the census,
which closes Friday. Inquiry to-day
shows that many families, particularly
colored people, have been overlooked by
the enumerators. It is stated by some
enumerators that the time will prove too
short to complete their districts. Mobile
was cut down by the last census, showing a
loss of population, and this fact makes the
people anxious for a full count, as it is
known that che city has been rapidly grow
ing in the past decade.
