of the district living within the town.
The population of the third district
which includes Spring Hill, is 1859.
Comparisons OF the district popula-
ton are difficult to give because of the
changes in the districts since the last
census.
That the population of the city Of
Columbia has actually declined will
cause surprise as well as much regret
here. It was not expected, even az
ter the showing made In the county.
However the city limits have not been
changed in forty years and since the
last census some manufacturing In
terests have closed down or left the
city. But in view of the buildings
erected within the city limits five
per cent loss is wholly unexpected.
The following is the population of
Columbia by wards: First ward

from 2,OO7 in 1900 to 1878 this year,
a loss OF thirty-four Columbia's per
cent of loss was FIVE, just that in the
county which decreased 1000 during
the past decade.
