LEADS The STATE
This Section Supplied Most
Of Increase.

Savannah, Ga, December 13-The
four Congressional districts in South
Geo gia furnished more than half of
the increase of population in Georgia
during the past ten years.
These districts are the First, Second
Third and Eleventh
Their contribution to the states
growth was 10,34S more than that OF
the seven other districts combined, i'll
Guiding Fulton county and the capita1
The actual increase was POI 500
This wonderful showing fulfi,ds pre-.
dictions that South Georgia was MAX
ing a runaway race in growth as CON
pared with other sections of the state.
Some of its counties show very large
increases. evidently it's cities all are
growing, while the counties which
have none of the larger cities show
very good increases.
The census figures are sufficient rea-
son for a very boastful attitude on
the part of South Georgia. 1t has
been long suspected that this part OF
the state had begun to come into its
own and that it was setting a pace
that wound be hard to follow The
figures show that every particle 81

WHAT WILL BECOME
OF OLD BUILDING?
Atlanta Figuring On 1t for a
City Hall.

Atlanta, Ga, December 13-What-
ever there may be in the movement to
move the state capitol from Atlanta to
Macon and whatever may be the out
come of it all, there is but little to be
learned to talking to officials at the
state house.
Efforts to learn something definite
from them or get an expression of
opinion have Invariably resulted in
small gains. Those that have been
reading about it in the papers seem
to think there is little chance for the
project ever to succeed, white others
frankly admit they haven't paid much
attention to it.
That Macon has all the advantage
over Atlanta from a geographical
standpoint, being. located nearest the
center of the state, everybody CT
course agrees, and there are few who
would not admit that if the capitol
We're there it would be better than
interests into consideration.
And if the question of moving the
capitol should be sprung at the next
legislature which is not at all i'm
probable there will to a certainty be
numerous representatives who viii be
right in for it from the jump. Hou
Joe Hill Hall, of Bibb. for instance
would not surprise any one, least of
all Atlanta, by throwing all his infu-
ence in it's favor.
But because it would mean an enor-
nous expense to the state and would
necessitate a more or less disorganiz-
ed condition of the states affairs for
a considerable period and because the
immediate advantages to be derived
would not be considerable, there
doesn't seem to be any reasonable
prospect of the capitol Being moved
at least in the near future.
Whether the capitol is ever moved
or not, however, it is interesting to
figure on what the state house would
be good for in case it should. Fulton
county will soon have to erect a new
court house, and it may suit that
purpose fine. Or maybe Atlanta would
have grown enough by that time to
make good use of it as a city hail.

The merchants anticipate that the

this week The presence of unusual
ly large crowds in the stores yester-
day is attributed PARTLY to the near
approach of the festive season and the
fine weather
The dealers predict that money will
be more Plentiful than usual, basing
their prophesy upon the early pur-
chases of the women shoppers, which
experience has taught them is a fair
of the condition of people
generally.
Women are now concluding the pur-
chase of their winter apparel and
rushing their dressmakers for belated
garments and hats.
Merchants anticipate a larger vol
ume of business this season than In
former years. They claim that a more
general interest is being taken and
that early purchases are more gener-
GUS in their expenditures. ALL are
making preparations to take care of
large crowds all of this

There were hundreds of women
shoppers on the streets yesterday with

SUMTER IS

Big TEN
Stands Tenth in List of
Georgia Counties.
Ten Years Ago 1t Was the Twelfth
Twenty-Five Counties Are ACCfeC.
lied With Having Over Twenty-Five
Thousand Population.

Sumter county is now the tenth
county in Georgia from the standpoint
of population.
Ten years ago it was the twelfth
in population in Georgia.
In the past decade it has moved up
two places.
lit is now one of the "big ten" OF
the Empire State of the South.
Two or three other counties will
press it for this position in the next
ten yea1s, but there is no reason why
Sumter should not retain this proud
position with the push that now marks
it and the prospects open before il
of a steady influx of desirable popula-
ton from other states.
While Sumter has not as much avail
able area as some other counties for
development it still has a great area
capable of a high degree of agricul-
tural development, large areas that
could be, and eventually will be, di-
vided into smaller farms.
Able judges say that population
of $4,000 to $4,000 could easily be
carried in this county in an agricul-
tural way, even without Industrial de-
Velopment to draw large numbers to
Americus.
The next coming ten years should
see a great stride nada in tho v1,a,y of
smaller farms, more white farmers
diving on their places, and a steady
influx of progressive farmers owning
and operating small places.
There are twenty-five counties in
Georgia accredited with over 25,0OO
population in the census report just
issued. AS stated, Sumter stands
tenth in the hist, which is as follows:

RUBE COP COMES TO GRIEF

lage, came to Chicago two days ago
to exercise his Sherlock Holmes abil-
tiles in running to earth the daring
highwayman.
big Tom" is a long, gaunt indi-
vidual, with luxuriant hirsute en-
bellishments on his chin. He started
in by making the rounds. To friend
ly "bar-keeps" he explained his mis-
sion, threatening dire vengeance on
the robber who dared beard him in
his own bailiwick.
Yesterday the village marshal was
found snoring peacefully on the side
walk at Wells and West Ohio streets.
Beside him lay the framed picture
of his thief Policeman Abbey took
him to the Chicago avenue police
station to "rest up a BIT"
Not daunted, however, big Tom
declared between chews at a big plug
of tobacco last night that he would
run the highwayman to earth if he
had to come to Chicago to live in
order to accomplish his mission.

VICTORY BY ONLY One POINT
TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY
YARD DASH WAS THE DE-
GLIDING EVENT..
No Records Were Broken - Contests
Close Throughout - Harvard Man
Made Spectacular Finish in Con-
Guiding Event - Ranney Was Hero
Of Crimsons.
(Bv Associated Press.)

Cambridge, May IA crimson
point, picked up in the last few
yards of the furlong dash, gave Har-
ward the nineteenth annual meet
over Yale today by score of 52k
to SLY. 1t was an afternoon of un-
expected reverses and both teams
suffered. Yet there were some ex-
cellent performances and the pole
vault record Of dual games went up
to II feet 6A inches, which Captain
Nelson of Yale accomplished in such
easy style that he attempted
worlds record, but without success.
1t was gruelling struggle through
out, and though Harvard led 5Oh
to ASH points when the final came,
it was still anybody's victory, and
the interest in this contest, the 220
yards dash, was intense. There were
three Yale and three Harvard men
In this final and deciding event.
Three Yale runners shot away
from the Harvard sprinters at the
start, and halfway down the cinder
track it looked like a sure Yale VIC
tory when the three blue jerseys
were still we'll In front, with the
crimson trailing.
A hundred yards from the tape
there was a sudden burst of Har-
ward cheers when "Dud" Ranney Of
Harvard was seen making desper-
ate effort to catch his Yale COM
petitors. He passed one Yale man
and then drew to another, and A.
was only when within a few feet
of the finish that in a final desper-
ate spurt he passed the second Yale
man and secured second place. Boyd
of Yale won, but Ranney's second
gave Harvard the deciding points of
the meet and made him the hero Of
the day.

Change SIZE OF
PAPER MONEY

Chicago, May 14.-A special from
Washington says:
A reduction in the size Of the pa
per money of the United States will
be made if Secretary MacVeagh of
the treasury accepts recommenda'
tions that will be made to him with
in few weeks by committee of
treasury officials appointed to inves-
tigate this and other proposed re-
forms.
The object of the proposed change
is to supply the country with a size
of currency more convenient for
handling and to save the government
$500 900 a year in paper and engrav-
ing.
The new sized bank note to be
recommended is about one-fourth as
large as the notes now in circula-
ton. The present notes are of
size that has been the standard for
generations.
An experiment of the advantage of
the change has been made with the
Philippine island currency, which is
engraved at the treasury. The Phil
ippine bank note is about one-fourth
the size Of the American bank note
and is extremely attractive in ap-
pearance.
On account of the smaller size, five
instead of four notes can be en-
graved on page of currency note
paper, and this, in addition to the
economy Of paper, means a tremen'
dOus saving.

rived at Plymouth on board the
Adriatic yesterday.
Put Mr.. Carnegie down as a
staunch supporter of Mayor Gaynor
On. this subject he said:
Eve have now a mayor in New
York who will probably be heard OF
in a higher position. Certainly
think he will be formidable can
didate for the presidency. The DEM
ocratic party is certainly badly of
for a strong candidate"
Then Mr.. Carnegie made his bow
to the name of Mr.. Roosevelt. He
said:
''He is very young man, so any
one would be bold to predict his
future. He has the American people
at his back. When hts name is
mentioned, racket and cheers follow.
Anyone who runs against him will
have a hard time.''
Mr.. Carnegie could not be induced
to speculate as to whether Mr.. Gay
nor would be successful against Mr..
Roosevelt. He said:
THE latter is the most extraordin-
ary man living. 1 don't agree with
aim in all his opinions, but I do in
most of them"
