the railroad question which was carried
over from the last NEE ing.
Mayor Cameron and the following

The subject was opened by the read

COLUMBIA HAS
6,O52 SOULS.
Population Announced bv
Census Bureau.
INCREASE OF 682 OVER 1890.
Ora Per Centage of IL 1-2-Including
the Immediate Suburbs the CITY
Has Not Less Than 5000 Popu-
lation.

The population of Columbia, according
to the census of 1900, is 6,052. In 1890
the population was $3.50, showing an in
arease of 682, or a per centage of 1919
since then.
This increase is not as large as was
anticipated by the majority of Colum-
bians. However, the figures show that
the city still keeps its position as seventh
to the largest municipality in the State
the cities having a larger population
being Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga,
Knoxville, jackson and Clarksvile.
The immediate suburbs of Columbia,
such as would be taken into the cor
porate limits by city try ing to boom
it's population, would increase our
population to not less than 5000.
There are at least 1000 negroes in Mace
donia, while there are perhaps another
thousand persons residing in the section
west of the city, extending from the
corporate limits to the Arsenal and fol
lowing the railroad from that point to
the line at the Columbia Mill & Ee-
vator's Company's plant TO say nothing
of the people residing south and east
of the city. The fact remains, however,
that the increase in the population has
been small, as these suburbs were here
in $780,
In 1880 tho population of the city was
3,400, showing an increase of $40 from
1890 to $780, or about 20 per cent.
The population of the entire 9th dis
trict in 1880 was 6,578, and in 1890,
$3.50.
In 1880 Macedonia had population
of 1872, and in 1890, 808- showing de-
crease of more than half The popula-
tion in 1900 will probably be about
1000.

Storm Causes Loss of Life.

AS a result OF the severe electrical
storm which visited this section on
Saturday evening, Gw0 men lost theiI
lives and third lis in a dangerous
condition. Herbert Dyer, aged Ii
years and SON of Steven Dyer,was busy
in the hay field of Solomon Dorman
near Pennington, wlluh John Dorman
a son of his employer. The latter was
l1n the rick, and Dyer was pitching the
hay up to him. Just as the SON was
about 10 set and without any warming
a heavy storm came up, and the light
ming played all over the barbed wire
fence near the young men. After
a blinding flash of lightning and heavy
clap of thunder Dyer fell off his load
and Dorman fell from the rick. The
horses attached to the wagon were i'm
stantly killed, and the fork which
Dyer held in his hand was torn into
shreds. When help arrived Dyer was
motionless and all his clothing was
burned from his body. He never raj
lied Dorman was revived after hard
work. Coroner Knots held an
investigation over the unfortunate
Dyer.
The other fatality reported was that
of Nathaniel Sipple, aged rs years,
who fell over fromthe table during the
storm and was picked up dead. The
coroner decided that the man came to
his death from heart disease, doubt
less caused by the storm.
The storm also did great damage to
the orchards i'm this section. On the
farms of John D. Brown, Thomas H.
Sipple and John H. Bullock the hail
which fell caused much loss to grow
ing crops.
