IN The sunny SOUTH
IS the Increase of Population
of the United States
Most Ra, id.
DIRECTOR OF TIE CENSUS
MAKES AN INTERESTING
STATEMENT.
North Led Greatly Prior to Civil War,
But Now the South Takes the
Lead.
SOME FIGURES THAT TELL.

Washington, Jan. f4-The director
Of the census has announced the per.
centagc of increase o. population in
different parts Of tire country, show
ing fer the last decade rapid de-
crease from the previous rate Of
growth of population in the West, 4
less marked, but decided decrease in
the North ana SLIGHT incrcase in the
South
For the first time IN Tn ehistory OF
this country the population of the
South has increased somewhat moro
rapidly than that Of the North Tic
East geographically, is included in
the term North Official announce
ment divided the country as follows:
The West from the Pacific 10 the
eastern boundary OF Montana Wyom
ing, Colorado and New Mexico North
and South. the respective lines Of q
| line formed by the Potamac and Ohio
rivers and the southern boundaries of
Missouri ard Kansas. The percent
age of increase from 1860 to 1880 was
61.9 in the North; 48.z in the South,
and 1856 in the West while in the
| last twenty years, 1S80-t900, it was
4S.7 in the North, 4S.0 in the South
and 1915 in the West.
Prior to the civil war the Northern
states nearly doubled in population
with each twenty years, while the rate
Of growth in the North has decreased
steadily more, in the South during the
| twenty years from 1860 to 1880, it has
been slightly less. During the last
twenty years there has been no sub
stantial difference in the rate Of
growth of the two sections. The per
cent of the increase of growth of this
region during each of the last two
ten-year periods follows:
1S8090, North, 248; South, pol:
West, 1.3; 1890 1900, North, 10;
South, 22.4; West, 319
If the comparison is limited to the
states east of the Mississippi river,
CHASING Minnesota and Louisiana with
the western states, the result is slight
ly different. 1t would show the in
crease to be: 18SO-9O, North, 21.1;
South, 16; 1890-1900, North, 1919;
South, 17.7.
When the mississippi states
are omitted the rate of growth in the
North is slightly greater than that in
the South, but the present difference
between the two sections in this re-
spect is about half what it was be.
tween 1880 and $780, and less than
one-seventh of what it was between
1850 and 1860

Active work is going on towards
the completion of the street ear svs-
tenn. Superintendent Hammond and
Electrician Travis are hard at work
at the power plant putting everything
in readiness. In the installation of a
new street car system many obstacles
are met with which cannot be ascer-
tanned beforehand and which must be
surmounted. To do this it takes
time.
Mr. Hammond, the superintendent,
was seen by a Graphic representative
this morning, and he assured the lat
ter that the street car line would be
in full operation in time for the street
fair and carnival 10 be held here IL

present order of things to offer for
the city offices, still it would be less
trouble to them to do so if they knew
they would not have to engage in ques
tionable methods to control the float
ing vote of the city; if they could
realize that as the nominees of tha
Democratic party they would be under
no obligations to the floating vote for
suffrage sufficient to win
In Little Rock and other cities of
the state the Democrats nominate
tickets and they are elected at the
general election without opposition
And the same would be true in Pine
Bluff if a ticket were put up by the
party.
One of the strongest reasons fer
putting up ticket for the city Offices
is that it would prevent much of
the corruption at the regula!
city elections, thereby insuring
purer elctions. which reason is suf-
ficient to cause everybody who de
sires the purity Of the ballot to be in
favor of city primary election to
nominate candidates for the city of
