THE FIRST CENSUS
OF NORTH CAROLINA
1t Was Taken in 1886 by the
State.
BUTT WAS.NOT COMPLETE
THERE WE'RE THEN 43 COUNTIES
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
BUT 1T WAS,NOT COMPLETE
CENSUS WAS FULL IN ONLY 10 OF THEM
As to the Other rs a New Census Was Ordered
The First United States Census Was Taken
in 1890. The Discovery Was Made
by Judge Walter Clark.

1t has always been understood that the
first census of North Carolina ever taken
was the United States census of 1890.
The Journals of the General Assembly
of 1856 show this to be untrue. The
State took a census in 1876. 1t was,
however, complete only as to Is coun-
ties. In the other % counties another
census was ordered.
1t seems that there were then only 10
counties in the State, including ) coun-
ties in what is now known as Tennessee.

y dangerous runaway occurred on
Blount street about 8 o'clock yesterday
evening. y driver of one of Robbins car
Tiages was halted just in front of the
Governors Mansion. He got down from

Fadger took her seat in the carriage
something frightened the horses and they
suddenly plunged forward, and in pull
ing them in the driver snapped one of his
reins He attempted with the other to
lyull the horses out of the street against
the side walk to stop them when one of
the animals began kicking and got his
feet over the remaining rein breaking it
also. Free from restraint, the thorough
w frightened animals plunged down
Plount street to the intersection of New

overturned and broken lose from the
horses. The carriage was righted and
Mrs. Badger helped out and assisted into
the residence of Major Hill. While some
