SMALL CITIES AND
pOPlll AXIOM EIGIIRES


The smaller cities OF the United
States are holding their own with the
larger cities in the matter OF growth
AS matter OF fact the census figures
for 1910 indicate that the smaller cit
les as a group. have maintained IN
the past decade a rate of growth con
siderably beyond that maintained by
the larger cities According to a
calculation made by the census bureau
The rate OF increase for the aggregate
population of the smaller cities was
39S per cent, compared with 30.4 per
cent for the larger cities. From 1890
to 1900 the showing was different, the
percentage OF the combined smaller
cities being 327 per cent and that or
the larger cities 33.1 per cent.
The highest percentages OF increase
so far announced have been from the
smaller cities. or these Oklahoma
City. Okla, leads the procession with
percentage of 539.7. Another Okla
homa town. the municipa. ity OF Mus
kcgee. following with 4s4.2 per cent.
Birmingham, Ala. comes next with
245.4. Then follow Flint, Mich. with
1912: TT. Worth, Tex, l141; Schen-
ectady. N. Y, 1893; Daias, Tex,
ll6; Waterloo, Iowa, 1923; East ST.
Louis H., 974; Passaic, n. j., 9I2;
New Rochelle, N. Y, 961; and Ports
mouth. Va, 9j.5. or the cities be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 for which
the 1910 count has been announced
In addition to the foregoing. two cit
les show rates OF 20 to 79 per cent
six show from so 10 SO per cent ,
twelve from 80 TO 80 per cent; ten
from 40 10 49 per cen; seventeen from
80 to 80 per cent; twenty from ~
to 90 per cent, and twenty from 10 TO
10 per cent. Five cities show rates
under ten per cent. Two cries, Chel-
sea Mass, and Galveston, Tex, snow
a decrease, the former OF AS per cent
and the latter OF 81 per cent.
In 1900 thirty-eight cities had a
population In excess OF 100000. The
return up to date have added nine
names TO the list. Albany, N. Y, At
lanta, Ga. Birmingham, Ala, Bridge
port, Conn, Cambridge, Mass. Day
ton, O., Grand Rapid Mich, Lowell,
Mass, and Richmond, Va. One city
st. Joseph, Mo-, has been eliminated
from the list. 1t was put In the 100
900 class ten years ago by padded
census and now drops back into It's
proper place. or the thirty-elght cit
les in the 100000 class in 1900 the
population of all has been announced
with the exception of Los Angeles
Louisville, Memphis, Minneapolis,
Omaha and San Francisco
In 1900 there were ll3 cities OF a
population OF over $4,000 and under
| 10000 The census OF 1910 has a.
ready added thirty-one names to the
list and there will be others. Ken
tucky had three cities In this class in
1900, Covington, Newport and Lexing
ton. OF these Covington is the only
one so far announced. 1t is doubtful
II any Kentucky town gets into the
list at the present time. though Pa
ducah is promising candidate and
some others are not far behind.

But the Senate has always remain

Senate Judiciary committee on
Monday for action.
Senators Frazier and Taylor are
heartily for the measure and will
exert their influence to secure a
favorable report at the Monday

leaders are planning to 70 defeat
this legislation, though they will

GOOD ROADS.

| Hon. George A. Gowan, secretary
and treasurer Of the Memphis-to
Bristol Highway Commission, ad.
dressed gathering Of enthusiastic
! citizens at the court house Monday
evening. Dr.. w. P. McGill was
made chairmsnof the meeting and
the speaker was introduced by
County Superintendent Martin L.
Hardin.
Mr. Gowan advocates the build
ling of the road on the plan sug-
gested by Governor-elect Hooper.
He presented tile proposition in a
clear, comprehensive way, show
ing that the road can be built by
voluntary subscriptions Of money
and labor without cost to the State.
The plan suggested is cooperative,
after the manner in which q road
was built across the State Of Iowa
in a single day last summer.
Iowa is level State compared
to Tennessee, and more time, say
two days, would be required to
build the Memphis-to- Bristol road,
butt has been thoroughly demon
strated thBt the plan is practical as
worked out by Governor Hooper.
Mr.. Gowan is an enthusiast On
the good roads question, and his
address here aroused keen interest
inasmuch as there is probability
of the road coming through Cam
den. The building Of such road
through Benton County would
spread the road fever to every part
Of the county, and the good re-
suits which would follow is inesti-
mable.
1t has been we'll said that thel
only drawback to Benton County's j
prosperity and advancement is the
lack of good roads. We all know
that during q great part Of every.
winter the farmers Of our county
" 4
and their families are practically
cut off from tho rest of the world
on account of the impassable con-
dition Of our roads.
The stranger in our midst can
not understand why we do not
have the best roads in Tennessee
instead Of the worst. We have en-
inexhastible supply Of the best
road making material il the world
right at our door, 90 to speak, and
not mile Of road in the county.
But we now have IA opportunity to
redeem our county and escape fur
ther criticism st home snd abroad. |
County after county are endorsing
the plan and pledgiDg tbemselvesi |
to building their part Of tlissroad. |
