A great deal of chagrin and dis appointment was expressed through out the city today when the summary of the report of the United States census bureau was read, showing an alleged falling off in the number of wage -earners in Birmingham in lsOS as compared to the year 1900, and also showing a falling off in the value of products, and showing a ridiculously small Increase in the capital invested. Every one knew at a glance that this citv had been done a grave injustice in the census figures. As a plain mat ter of fact, of the total canital ln- vested in the entire State of Alabama, which is placed at s1O5,000,O00, over ss0. 000, 900 of 1t is invested in the BIT rningham district alone, and yet the census bureau places the capital m vested in Birmingham. at S6,O0O,oVo: There are as many wage-earners in the Birmingham district alone counting all men on salaries in all avocations, as the census report says are in the whole
