THG CENSUS OF 1870.
United SSAtes Population Then Was
E.ess Than 100000.

bniteV SSAtes reputation Then Was
E.ess Than 100000.
When the first census of the United
Stntes WIS taken In 1890, there were 10
states and the southwest and north
west territories. The returns fixed the
population at 3,929,214, while those of
1900 give over 100000, fourteen
fold growth in 10 years.
In the first census nothing was
sought but the number of inhabitants,
and the task was assigned to United
States marshals, who performed the
work for several censuses. In the cen
sus library is record of the first cen
sus, which shows that the census of
| 1900 was ordered In March and com.
| pleted by October, 1901, very credita-
BILE showing when the difficulty of COM
municatiOn Is considered. The popula-
tion was divided into five classes-free
white males of 10 years and upward.
including heads of families; free white
females, including heads OF families;
free white males under 16 years. other
persons, slaves. Fourteen enumeration
districts We're mapped out of the 10
states and the population of the towns,
counties and states given. All of the
states except Maine and Massachusetts
had slaves. Virginia led with popu-
lation of 747,610 whites and 202 200
slaves. North Carolina was second,
with 1903, 751 whites and 100000 slaves.
Maryland had a population OF 400. 756,
OF which 3.030 were slaves. The slave
population of the northern states Is
! given as follows:
New Hampshire. 15S; Rhode Island,
| 94S; Connecticut, 2,764; New York, o.
1924; New Jersey. IL. 423; Pennsylvania,
3.237; Delaware, S,SS7; Vermont, 10.
The population of the southwest ter
rltory was 35,691 whites and 3,417
| slaves.
The record Is full OF errors in calcula-
ton and addition, but is interesting In
showing how the population has in
creased and how the art OF census TAX
Ing has developed with the population.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS.
Especial to Harrison TimesD
LITTLE ROCK Feb. Is

LITTLE ROCK Feb. Is.
So tar, the legislature has accomplished
but little. either for good or evil. The
senate has passed the reform bill as intro
duoed by senator McNemer, and Killed
the fellow-servant bill by a tie vote That
they will be given another hitch at the
latter before the session closes is sure
thing, but for the present the employees
are in state of decentralization. Some
legislation is needed along this line, and
we hope TO see some reasonable bill be-
come law. The only trouble will be
in the senate. The house we believe
stands ready at any time to pass "fel-
low-servant'' bill, and will undoubtedly
do so before long.
The joint committee, which is supposed
to be investigating the penitentiary scan
dals, are holding star chamber sessions,
even newspaper representatives and
members being excluded. That the man.
agement of the institution will receive a
thorough coat of whitewash is positive
certainty, in spite of the fact that it is
known to be the most loosely, extrava-
gantly and dishonesty conducted institu-
,tion in the state. Affairs of the pen and
''penitentiary contracts" are a disgrace
to civilization. The reports which are
due from the Institution are not made,
and it is impossible to disseot the affairs
of the concern until the reports are made.
We presume they will make same when
they get around to it.
In connection with the penitentiary, a
proposition will shortly be made to the
state to purchase the 'Sunnyside PIanta-
| ton" in ChiCOt county for convict farm.
From the agent of the owners, Judge
HALEY, we have gathered some facts
concerning this great farm which may
prove of interest TO the readers OF the
TIMES. The farm, as it is proposed to
sell it to the state, contains IL ,628 acres,
| 400 acres of which are in high state of
cultivation. The Sunnyside farm proper
| contains Io,o28 acres, with 5000 acres of
open land. This great farm lies in the
bend of Chicot lake, and is probably the
| finest body of land in the south. Besides
vast amount of hay and forage, the
farm has grown the following crops for

Six hundred acres have been added to

one of the best in the state; has ten miles
of narrow guage railroad, with two en-
gineS and ten cars. The houses and
| other buildings are away above the aver
age.
Across the lake lies the ''Luna Panta-
| ton" containing 1000 acres, 800 of which
are under cultivation. This is also a
splendid property and if the state should
| conclude to buy would be just the place
for the Juvenile offenders" of whom .,e
hear so much. 1t would be an ideal
place for our new reform school. Two
hundred and fifty mules, a complete lot of
farming implements, wagons, ETC., would
be included in the sale. The price of the
property is $4,000, and while the figures
look rather big, It should be remembered
that the deal is big one and the property
probably the best of its kind in the Union.
