The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1901-03-13

In the March number of the Review
of Reviews MIR. LIE Grand Powers,
chief statistician in charge of agricult-
ure at Washington. gives an interest
ing forecast of the farm statistics of
the twelfth census. Mr.. Powers says
in part:
With the close of the work of the
census enumerators and the practical
completion of that by the special
agents, it becomes possible to present
an outline of some of the salient facts
relating to American agriculture in
1900. The enumerators, exclusive of
those in Alaska and Hawaii, have re-
turned to the office in Washington a
total of 5,777,66 schedules, for which
they have received pay. In addition
the special agents collected 9, 245 sched-
ules of ranches on the ranges of the
west and southwest. These make a
total of 5,786, 907, exclusive of the ST.
536 schedules for live stock in cities
and towns, which do not in any way re-
late to farms.
In 1850 the census reported 1,449,073
farms; in 1860, 2,O44, OF; in 1870, $685.
985; in 1880, 4,OOS, 907; in 1890, 4.564, Gal.
The estimate for 1900 is 100000. The
increase by decades was successfully
sos, OO4; els, 1908. 1,348, 922; $50, 1874; and,
approximately, 1,140,OOO. A part of
this apparent variation is doubles due
to the greater relative success which
attends the enumeration of some de-
cades than others; but after making
due allowance for this possible factor
we note the following facts 4: The in
crease in the last ten years was greater
than in any other decade, with the sin
gle exception of that between 1870 and
1880.
In the nine states usually designated
as the North Atlantic division, Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu-
SGUUS, IGL(uo loIduus SOuuCSOLSuVS AO"
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
there were, in 1850, 489, 1854 farms; and
in succeeding decades 564, 935, 601, 595,
COG, l39 and 65S, 1863. The acres of farm
land were substantially the same in
1860 as in 1890.
In the eight states of Delaware, Ma
ryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida and the district of Columbia
included in the South Atlantic divis.
ion, the number of farm schedules for
1900 gives evidence of the existence OF
from $4,000 to $50, 900 farms. This is
an increase of from 10000 to 220, 900 in
the last decade. The number OF farms
was increased by the subdivision OF
the older plantations into smaller hold
ings, some of them cultivated by 1helr
owners and the remainder by tenants
That subdivision, though associated
since 1870 with general uniformity OF
farm area. has since that year been ac'
companied by continued increase in
the acreas of improved land. The lat
ter were 80, POP, 991 in 1870: SO, ITO, 33l in
1880, and Al SIT, 371 in 1890.
The value of farm property in the
South Atlantic states suffered great

TALKS WITH THE PRINCE
Tells of How MethodicnI IL His Life
and How Much in Required That
the Public Never Suspects.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-(Special Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press.)-The follow
ing is the substance OF an interview with
the prince of Wales which is to appear
shortly in London magazine. There Is
every reason to believe It is perfectly gem
uine and II is understood to be the first
interview in which his royal highness has
been directly quoted;
A correspondent who had been privileged
to meet the prince of Wales on more than
one occasion had an interview with Eng
lands future king at Marlborough house,
his royal highness London residence, some
days ago,
The prince talked with great frankness
concerning himself and his views on va
rious subjects. II anyone ever deserved the
apr citation of "a busy man" the prince
does, and there are few city merchants or
business men who work harder than he
does, and even the London public has no
idea OF the quantity OF work he gets through
with in the course OF a day IL Is only by
following a most methodlcal arrangement
that he is able TO do as much as he does in
the time, As a matter OF fact, all his en-
gagements are made weeks and sometimes
months ahead. and every hour, almost every
minute, is mapped out for him
When the correspondent was ushered into
his study at Marlborough house the prince
was seated at an old-fashioned pedestal

by his father, the late prince consort
which was piled high with papers and docu

Condition.

COWES. Isle of Wight, Jan. 2l.-Durihg
yesterday afternoon the long hilly road TO
the palace grounds was crowded with
people, particularly young men and women
arrayed in their Sunday garb, dotting the
landscape with vivid patches OF color.
The local gentry, after church service,
wrote their names in the visitors book
at the lodge, which contains no signature
that would mean anything to the world
outside OF the Isle of Wight.
Inquiries Of importance all came by tele-
gram and these were legion. Hundreds
OF people. all sorts and conditions of men,
clergymen predominating, flooded Cowes
with kilograms asking for the latest news.
A swarm of country people, among them
correspondents from all quarters OF the
globe mingled ceaselessly, and converged
toward the lodge gates. Their inquiries
generally took the form OF timid how is
she" addressed to the policemen who
barred all comers, and an inquirer who
had been answered would be immediately
surrounded by others less bold who sought
the news.
When night fell the countryside became
deserted save for the newspaper watchers
who waited weerily in the lodge.
. In the distance can be seen the faint
glimmer OF the lights OF the place. strict
injunotions have been given to the court
attendants and the Osborne house en-
ployes to make no answer to any inquir-
les except by referring the people to the
public bulletins. Nevertheless any yokel
who has ever been on an errand to the
castle is willing TO detail minutely what
is wrong with the queen. In fact the
most circumstances! stories of various all
ments are currently accepted here where
the fact Of the queens paralytic stroke ID
generally unknown.

COWES. Isle OF Wight, Jan. 20-Yestcr-
day at Osborne, hedged around with intense
secrecy, began with touching scene. Amid
the bright sunshine, In marked contrast
to the gloomy skies OF Saturday, there
drove out from the palace grounds car
riage containing wreaths for the tomb OF
Prince Henry OF Battenburg, in the little
church at Whpplngham, ten minutes ride
from the royal residence. Then followed
carriages containing the princess of Wales,
the princess OF Battenberg. Princess Louise
and others, all dressed in the deepest black.
The face OF the princess OF Wales showed
sings OF the anxiety she was undergoing.
The annual memoria! service for Prince
Henry. always a sad occasion, was q
more than usually sorrowful occasion. for
the shadow of a still greater bereavement
was uppermost In all minds. The princess
Of Wales and the princess Of Battenbarg
sobbed bitterly and there was scarcely one
Of those royal heads bent in prayer that did
not shake with grief that could not be
suppressed.
The departure OF the prince OF Wales for
London shortly after IL o'clock to meet
Emperor William was quietly accomplished
The queen had been informed Of the kais-
er's coming and had signined her desire
that the prince should go to meet him
Rather against his will, the man. who. for
the moment. was practically the king Of
England. obeyed his mothers wish. 1t was
rumored that the queen wanted the en-
peror TO postpone his visit to Osborne
house. as she did not wish to receive him
in her present condition. Apparently in her
lucid moments she believed that she would
be able to conquer the dread disease which
had fastened itself upon her.

The Democratic financial muddle In
CITY Council continues, and what the
Council hoped to avoid by an appeal to
the legislature, must be met. An IN
creased city tax rate, always Demo-
cratic bug-bear, seems unavoidable. we,
suggest to our Democratic friends that
running politics upon an above par basis
is better than attempting to run politics
upon n too cheap, or below par basis.
Our opinion about it is, that the people
are not niggardly in their support OF
their government. If it is good govern
ment. promotive of general interests and
commends itself to the people as worthy
of support, they will support it Literally.
We know this is contrary to the Demo
cratic idea. That party has generaly
taught that government is not worth
what it costs, and has made its expert
ments TO exemplify that theory. The
result is, complaint about taxes, forced
reductions to meet political conditions
and-financial deficits. That is the pro
gram of Democratic national, State ant
municipal control.
