Poplation of South Carolina.

Washington, Dec. 6.-South Caro-
lina's population, according to the
census, is 1915, 400, an increase OF
175,O34 in the last decade. This in
crease was slightly less than it was
from 1890 to 1900, and is not suff1-
cient to entitle the State to an add1-
tional congressman under the present
basis of $4,000 to a representative
and IL the reapportionment Is based
upon a larger number, as is likely,
there will be reduction of one con-
gress1aan from South Carolina.
The figures of South Carolina by
counties were given out to-day by the
census bureau The largest gain was
in Spartanburg county, 1905. Next
comes Greenville, 1887; next An
derson, 13,840. Richards gain is
1854, and Charleston's 5SS. Fair
field county gains just Z. The coun-
ties of Barnwell, Beaufort, Berkeley,
Marion and Orangeburg and Sumter
lost considerably, in consequence of
new counties being carved out OF
them. Georgetown lost SIG.

Letter from Georgia.

~ Guyton, Ca, Dec. 5.-The farmers
here have finished gathering their
crops. Some few have not finished
making their syrup yet.
We are having some fine hog kill
ing weather now, and the farmers are
making good use Of it.
notice an article in your paper
from Govan, which states the differ
Sence In the price of syrup in Georgia
and South Carolina. But the writer
does not know the difference, and I
will try to tell him. 1t is in the way
the farmers make it. Myself and
Others around me have sold our syrup
for SO and Is cents gallon. You
know good grades of cotton bring a
better price than sorry grades, and
the way you handle it has great
4 deal to do with the grade and the
price.
ss / also notice what he says about
the divorce law. Yes, it is disgrace
as man has made the law, but If the
great ruler of all things had institut-
ed it maybe there would be good
many better husbands and wives and
less law suits between husband and
vile than there is now.

NEGRO GIRL ROBBED.
Forced to Give Up Hard Earned
Money by Two Men.

Union, Nov. 29.-A dastardly rob-
berry, where a young negro girl was
forced to give up the hard earned
savings of the family under threat
that her life would be taken by two
unknown negro men several miles
from Union, was committed early one
morning this week. The matter has
been kept quiet while investigation
by the sheriff has been going on.
It seems that about an hour and
half before sun rise, two negro men
one dressed in overalls, the other
wearing a white sweater, it is said,
wen to the home of Columbus Farr
and were met by his daughter. On
reaching the house they ransacked
everywhere for money they thought
was in it and after i'll treating the
girl forced her by threat to take. her
life to reveal the hiding place of the
money which it is understood was In
a mattress where she had hidden it.
They then demanded that If she knew
of any one who had money to tell
them that they could get it. One story
is that the amount was $50 and that
the robbers lost $40 Of it after leav-
ing through the window.

He Leaves Letter to Conference Con-
Tossing Theft.
A sensation was sprung in the
North Carolina Conference Of the
Methodist church, South, at Eliza
beth City, N. c., on Friday, when a
letter was read from Rev. L. N.
Booth, of Chowan circuit, acknowl-
edging that he had misappropriated
missionary and conference funds
amounting to about 5000, that he
had fed to New Jersey and could
not return the money. Charges were
Immediately preferred and a trial or
dered. It is a bad case. Booth,
who was highly regarded by his con-
gregation and fellow members of
conference, was said to have left
home four weeks ago, without the
knowledge of the presiding elder, on
the plea that his invalid wife was
in a sanitarium in New Jersey. His
congregation had recently presented
him with fine horse and buggy and
new suit of clothes to wear to con-
ference.
