Both for the City and the County.
The first week of the census enumeration
ended last night. Everybody is asking,
"What will Savannah's population BET"
There is a wide range of estimates. all the
way from IS, 900 TO 200. The lowest esti-
mate that has been received by the MORN
ING NEWS CENSUS BUREAU IS $3.50. If
the census returns reveal a population
below that there will be great disappoint-
ment.
OF the hundred or more estimates pub
lished in the MORNING NEWS to-day the
majority is over $4,000. Some guessers In
flight of enthusiasm have gone as high as
6s.OOO and 10000. The guesses at the popu-
lation Of the county outside Of the city
run all the way from 1900 to
having been made without looking
into the situation. The city's population is
that included within the boundaries of the
First, Second, Third aid Fourth militia
districts.

NEWS has attracted widespread attention,
and euesses have been coming in not only
from Savannah, but from all over Georgia
and Florida, and from South Carolina. The
increase in Savannah's population since
1880. at the very lowest estimate that has
been made so far, is 80 per cent, and
in a majority of the estimates it Is figured
at from 40 per cent. to 60 per cent. That
