ALL WANT TO KNOW POPULA
TON.

The Censu, Bureau is being beaieged
with queries as TO the results of the
census enumeration 10 various cities and
towns. The desire to know the number
OF inhabitants are contained in the city
Of ous's residence appears to be univer-
sal, although when one analyses the
subject II is hard TO explain the
cause of this very general curiosity.
The census people are receiving letters
from all over the country asking
for figures. None are given. The
enumeration sheets are tucked away
as received, and in the course OF
things 1t necessarily will be some
weeks before The figures are given out
The public is promised, however, that
it will not bave to wait as long for ceu-
sus retDrus this year IS has been the case
in former cebsuses, The force employed
in the tur:sn is larger this year than
ever 1t bss been, and The policy Of max.
ing the tu'esu permanent, iuslead Of re-
organizing 1t every census yesr, adds very
grestly t. the efficiency CT the force,
since there is q highly trained corps to
build upon when q lsree number of new
employees sre taken on for the heavy
work of the year of the ceusu' and Inc
tSo or three following. 10 addition,
tabulstirg machines more nearly perfect
10 operation have been Installed for the
work this year.
The census people affirm that all es,i-
mats which have eHanst9d from Wash
irg on regarding tie population of va':.
ous ciics, as we'll SO OF the equity, have
been unofficial. 1t is believed, however,
that there hiss been some bstii for the
6gurts which hsVe been published, al
though t Is denied that the bureau hss
furnished any data Tor such approx.
mationa.
Meanwhile, Director Durand PROM
ICES that JUS. as soon ss pasitive figures
are available they shall be given 10 the
press.

Gas.EIecfYIct Cats,

Atlanta, Ga May 3l-The S uhern
Railway Company announces today that
as a re,ult of the Guccess of experiments
witt gas electric cars, two OF which
have been ordered, it is probable that
their use on the lines of the S'uthern
Railway Company will be iurther ex'
tended.
A careful study has been made OF
conditions on those paris of the line
where suburban business is heaviest and
10 the more copgest:d conmercltl dig
tricts where passenger t:svel is thickest,
with demand for more frequent service.
While no definite conclu zion has been
rescued, It may be thst the company
will put gas.electric cars into service In
some OF these localities, either substitute
Ing them for the preeeut local steam
trains or as supplen entary to the present
local st.am service 80 ss 10 give more
frequent service.
The gss.electric csr is substantially
built with steel frsmes. II Is propelled
by electricity which is generated in the
car itself By gasoline generator. It can
thus be tp:rat,d by Itself on any railway
track without the installation of trolley
wires or third rails. The interior of the
car can be 30 arranged as to fit it for
the particular service for which it Is to
be u,ed. The car is handsomely decorated
sud is lighted throughout by cleo richly.
l: can be run at any speed up " shout
sixty miles an hour. The company is
slso looking into another car of different
make adapted for the same chsr'ctsr OF
service, and which is now in the service
eIsswher under similar conditions.

in Egypt and have no desire TO keep
order there, by all means get tu. II
you feel that 1t is your duty to civiliz'-
ton to say, then show yourselves ready
to NEE. tae responsibility of your posi-
tion."
This was Roosevelt's closing arra'g:-
men! OF the British governments policy
in Egypt. Its very boldDess startled the
distinguished audieoos and, coming
as it did in response to az honor that
Lordon rarely coDfers on q foreigner,
the prcpritty of Rocstvsit's u:terances
was freely Questioned.
The speech is btuld to arcuse the
nslionalists Of Egypt, and this presents
one of the most serious phases OF the
case. In the light of Roosevelt's recent
speech in Cairo, when be aseaied the
nstionalis!s mcv!meut, England had
hoped that If Roosevelt touched on
Egyptian affairs, It would be in l.u la.
tory way, she was little prepared for
being charged with responsibility for the
crisis thtt now confronts her in Egypt.

PARDONS convict

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2S.-Charles T.
Sudduth, a white man, serving ten
year sentence in the penitentiary, has
been pardoned by Governor Noel
Sudduth was sent up in 1907, and has
served about three years.
He was convicted Of arson before
the Scott circuit court, and feeling
against Sudduth at the time was so
strong everyone seemed to think he
should have been convicted, but a
large petition was recently sent to
the governor asking for a pardon.
This petition was endorsed by the
Judge and district attorney, aside
from carrying the names Of most of
the leading men of Scott. and Cover
nor Noel, on this recommendation,
granted the pardon, and Sudduth will
be given his freedom some time Tues
day.
