The Census Department IN Wash
ingtOn has issued the bulletin for the
towns in South Carolina that have q
population of over 1000. There are
now twenty three towns of over 1000
population against seventeen in 1890,
and that is not counting unincorpOrn-
ted towns like Piedmont, Pelzer and
other mill towns, OF which there are Mt
least ten or twelve. Some OF these in
corporated towns have grown very
rapidly. Anderson has population of
5,40S against 3,0l8 in 1890; gain of
2,4S0, or S2.2per cent. It was generally
believed that we would reach Mt least
5000, but our people are satisfied with
the showing we make. Anderson's
limits are only one milo in circumfcr-
ence, and does not include the Orr
Mill, the Cox Mill, tho Riverside Man
ufacturing Co. or tho Anderson Fertiii
ger Factory, all of which are in our
suburbs. With our limits extended
One-half milo each way we would
easily show population of nine or ten
thousand. The present census puts
Anderson the sixth town in the State
rs to population, and in the census of
1910 we will move few points higher.
We have good solid town and live,
