WHAT THE CENSUS
OF FLORIDA SHOWS
Industrial Record.

Florida has, or had last Apr. 10l,-
borders.
The population in 1900 was $685.
542. The increase In the decade has
been 222,597, or 42.1 per cent. The
population in 1890 was 3y1,422, and
the rate of increase from that year
to 1900 was 35 per cent. Inc in
crease in the twenty years from 1890
to 1910, has been 359,717, or 60 per
cent
While the complete census reports
for 1916 of but few states have been
published, and it is, therefore, too
early to make comparisons that will
be of interest or value, It is a safe
guess that no other state in the South
and few others in the Union, except
ing Oklahoma, New Mexico and Ari-
| iona, will show a higher rate of in
crease than Florida. There is, how
ever. food for much thought in the
present development of the State as
shown by comparisons with past
enumerations.
OF the gain in the last ten years,
5000, or 1863 per cent, was made be-
| tween 1900 and 1905, and 1924, or
25.S per cent, in the last half of the
decade, showing that Florida's popula-
ton is growing at an accelerated rate,
which bids fair to continue indefinite-
| ly.
The growth of Florida's population
since 1900 has been different from
that of many northern and western
states, in the respect that in the more
densely settled states statsticians
seem to have discovered movement
| toward the cities from the rural com.
munities, and it is likely that the grand
| totals of the thirteenth Federal cen
sus will show a larger percentage OF
the population gathered in the com.
mercial centers than in 1900.
Florida. like several other South
ern and Southwestern states, has re-
Ceived large accessions Of population
from other sections, who have gone
to her farms and groves and gardens.
Consequently, while her cities aud
towns have grown with surprising
rapidity, a high ratio OF increase has
been gathered in the country dis
! tricts and in towns of less than 1000
! populations Therefore, when suffi-
cient data shall have been published
upon which to formulate reliable con-
illusions, it will be seen that a small
| err proportion of F'lorida's population
| is in her cities than in many other
states or in the United States as
a whole.
At this writing but little data has
| been published on which these per.
centages may be worked out for this
state. Jacksonville, in Duval coun
ty. increased her population since
1900, approximately 1925 per cent.
The county, including the city, in.
creased AL per cent, and the pop,l.

came abort In the following manner:
! Major Jones, In company with Miss
Mary Stallins, his cousin Joe. and
/. several others, was walking one
beautiful Sunday morning, near q
!: mill pend. Miss Mary looked up and
exclaimed:
20! Major, Just see those luscious
:. grapes hanging on that oak tree over
the pond L wish I had some Of
them"
WELL" said the major, you shall
have them or I die"
No quicker said than done. The
J. major laid aside his coat, pulled on
his shoes and, in a few minutes was
ness of q squirrel. The grapes ~c-e
growing ON a large limb which ex-
tended over the mill pond. In due
time the grapes were reached. gath.
n cred and thrown down to his lady
slove, Miss Mary Stallins, who clap.
ped her hands and thanked the ma
jor for the nice treat and also prais-
ed him for his agility.
!. The major, whose head was turn

decided to go q little farther. and
Skin the cat" He skinned the cat
= all right, but, when he tried to un-
skin 1t, he failed. He held on sus-
pended bstwes1 the limb and the
pond, till everything turned green,
and then fell Ito the pond and re-
ceived a good soaking
Now, It should be known that the
nSior's cousin Joe was rival for
tho hand Of Miss Mary Sta..ins; and,
4 wien he saw the predicament Of the
2 major, he clapped his hands and
shouted for Joy. The major could
not stand that, and, to use his own
language, he gave his cousin Joe q

Pensacola herself increased o9.3 per
cent from 1900 to 1910.
The remarkable growth OF popula-
ton along the lower cast coast of the
state is shown by the increase in
the territory embraced in Brevard
st. Lucie, Palm Beach and Dade
counties. Within the past ten years
St. Lucie county has been created
from the southern part Of Brevard
and Palm Beach from the northern
half of Dade county. BTeyard and
Dale counties, in 1900, contained an
aggregate population Of 10, f13. The
four counties, which now include the

ties in 1900, have a population of %

Below is given an enumeration of
! F'lorida's forty-seyen counties in 1910
and 1900. Palm Beach and St. Lucie
counties are not included in the 1900
column for the reason already given.
The same explanation shows the
reason for the decrease in the popula-
ton OF Breyard county since 1900.

BIG DEAL AIDS
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. Sept 12.-The
news incident of the day in the
financial markets was the resale
by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. to Phelps,
preferred stock which was pur-
chased from the Pearson syndicate
in July at a time when demoral-
ization threatened the stock mar
ket- The reception of the second
ary transaction by the stock mar
ket was in marked contrast with
the electrifying teffect of the an
nouncement of the first.
A comparison of market prices
then and now may account for the
difference in the sentimental ef-
feet. Rock Island preferred then
to 66Ss, rise from Saturdays
closing price of 31s, thus leaving
a narrower margin for the express
sion of Improvement Prices IN the
general list are correspondingly
higher~than when the Rock Island
deal acted as an arrest to threat
ened decentralization.
More effect was produced on the
days stock market by the infer
ences drawn by the professional
trading element from the power
of resistance to unfavorable fac
tors shown by last weeks market.
Politics was believed TO have lost .
its power for harm for the pres
ent Western banking advices
point to improvement in the posi-
tion there. and the rapid move
ment of grain to market is a re-
lieving factor.
The effect is discernible in an
inquiry in mercantile lines. The
August output of gold at the Rand
rose another degree toward the
only other month showing an ex-
cess, which was in December of
1908. when rectification of yearly
accounts affected the record. More
funds are offered in New York for
time loans at recently prevailing
bid rates.
Bond dealings were larger and
a greater number of issues was
dealt in than lately. but the activ-
ity was mostly in bonds of the
speculative class. The tone was
irregular. Total sales, par value,
S1,s76,000.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.
Z. F. Hutton & Co.'S wire saws:
New York, Sept 12-Profes-
sfonal conditions remained in Wall
street again today with a small
buying movement in progress over
the week as a result of a more
bullish attitude of commission
houses toward stocks. We believe
that shorts contributed some to
the buying movement at the high
points.
I'VE find little change in the
situation from last week. and
doubt If any activity occurs in

money situation is better known"
