The Tampa Tribune disputes the
statement that Birmingham is grow,
ing more rapidly than any city in the
south and thinks that this distinc
ton must be given to Tampa. 1t says
that Tampas population is abou;
three times what it was in 1900 anG
all indications point to the fact tina,
she will number 100000 in 1911
We hope the predictions of the Tri
bune may more than materialize and
that the Tribune will keep steps with
the steady progress of the Queen

FLORIDA FOR LONGEVITY.

The Tallahassee Sun informs us that
the census report compiled in the of
fee of the secretary of agriculture
shows seventy-One persons living in
Florida who are more than one hun
dred years old.
1t is natural that an Indian shold
stand near the head of the list.
Alachua county may claim the prem
ium for numbering among its resi-
dents four of the oldest centenarians.
The Indian is a woman 121 years old :;
a negro man is 1875; another negro is
lis, and white man 40 is the old
est of tie race il Florida.
The whites who have counted the
passage Of 100 seasons are very few.
The roll is quickly enumerated:
David Roberts lives at Summerfeld,
Marion county. He is 112 years old.
George Mcclellan, 100 years, Nc
Cl6lIan, Alachua.
Phoebe SYarkman, Fairfield, Mar
ion county, 1OS years of age.
Abraham Clabran, 100 years, Brent,
Escambia county.
Mary A Matthews, 101 years, Bris-
toll, Liberty county.
Mary Jones. 1O2 years, Goes Mill,
Liberty county.
Leon county leads all in the num-
her of centenarians, but there is not
in all the county one white person
who can lay claim to the distinction.
There are eight negroes. Some of
them are native Africans, who came
over on the last slave ship, WAN
derer."
The list of counties is given for
those who have more than one, for
it is nothing for a county in Florida
to have one centenarian:
Escambia has Z, Duval 5, Jefferson
6, Leon s, Marion 6, Madison I, Su-
wannee 4. Liberty >.
The census report develops the fact
that Florida has a Davy Crockett. He
lives in HillsborOugh county and is
112 years old His wife bears the
gentle name of Dolly and is
but ten years younger than her lord.
David and Dolly have lived near
Tampa for a number of years.
1t is not believed that some of the
negroes are as aged as they think
themselves, but with others there
can be little doubt that the ages were
given with accuracy. Several have
ranging from thirty to
fifty years old, and children sixty and
seventy.
The census takers were surpris-
ed at the great number Of old negroes
who cling to a lingo that is scarcely
.. Eligible.
These are natives of Senegambia or
some other section of Africa, who
came and were sold into slavery and
having lived on secluded farms and
coming not much in touch with whites
have had little opportunity TO learn
a less outIandish tongue.
