The United States Negro Population
Montgomery, Ala, JournaI.)

AS shown by the last census, the
number of negroes in the United
States was 9,204, 531, a larger number
than is to be found many other coun-
try, outside of Africa itself The
center of the negro population in the
United States is in DeKalk county,
Ala, having moved from Dinwiddie
county, Va, where 76 miles northeast,
since 1880, more than " per cent of
the negroes lived in the county
against more than 81 per cent of the
whites. From II to IS per cent of
the negroes have some degree of
white blood.
Almost 80 per cent of the negroes
in the continental United States are
in the southern states, and three
tenths of them are in Georgia, Ala
bama, and Mississippi. Negroes con-
stitute about One-fifteenth of the city
and about one-seventh of the country
population, but the rate of decrease
steadily declined through the last
century, and has not increased since
the census last taken. Unlike the
Indians and the native whites, the
negroes have slight excess of fe-
males, and illiteracy among them is
about seven times greater than the
whites. Their death rate is 50 per
cent, while that of the whites is 81
per cent, which is a surprise to many
who think the whites are healthier.
The negroes III the south have in
creased very largely in intelligence, if
not in numbers, and their morale is
much higher than when the last
census was taken. Even now the mu-
latto is very scarce, and is rapidly
passing out, very much to the credit
of both races.

Taft is encouraging both capital and
railroad combinations, though in a
speech in Chicago he declared that
"we must look forward to a gigantic
controversy between labor and cap
ital." He sees two organizations
marshaling for a contest, but as he
is candidate right now, he must APP
prove both. It's hard to be on both
sides of the fence.

WILL DIVIDE
THE DISTRICTS
County Commissioners Will
Probably Make IL Out
Of 4 Districts.

A meeting of the board OF county
commissioners is to be held during
TINS week, probably Friday, when the
matter of making d division OF the
four city election districts will be
considered and some action taken.
This was discussed at the recent meet
ing of the board, and it was decided
TO postpone action and call special
meeting. as the work will require
much consideration.
It is very probably, according to the
best information obtainable, that
twelve districts will be made out OF
the four present ones. Some are IA
vorable of SO dividing districts 13 and
II as to make four out of these two.
Districts II and Is are the largest
and It is believed that four election
districts will be made of each of them
making a total of twelve voting places
! in the city BY this means, all voters
can easily vote at any election, no
matter what length the ticket TO be
voted.
