Census Shows Reduced Population
in Lexington

The census returns, announced
few days ago, show a decided gain
in Virginia, and a slight gain in
Rockbrdge and the towns within
her borders. The total increase is
234. Lexington has a population OF
1882, as against 3, 203 in 1900.
An analysis of the statistics OF
the thirteenth census, indicates
loss in town of Lexington, and the
county OF Rockbridge, but gain in
the city of Buena Vista.
The 1910 census shows the popu-
lation OF Rockbridge to be 81, 172;
Buena Vista, 3,24S; total, 2i,42l.
In 1900 the population of Rockbridge
was 81, 799; Buena Vista. 2,3SS; to-
tai, "a, 1877. The difference shows a
gain of 234.
Lexington had a population in
1900 of 3.2O3; Lexington district,
1859; total, 4,289. The population
in 1910: Lexington, 1882; Lexing-
ton district, LAT; total, 4.349. This
shows a gain of 81 in town and dis
trict.
From these figures it is apparent
that in 1900 some persons were
counted in the town who belonged
to the district. In the last census,
no students were included in the
count. and many persons doing
business in the town but who live
just outside the corporate limits
were not counted in the towns pop
ulatioa.
If the enumerators had been per-
mitted to include the students and
cadets In the count, the population
of Lexington would reach nearly
1000. And they are really resi-
dents of the town, since they spend
nine months of the year here.
The enumerators we're Messrs.
Allen Mcdowell aud George w.
Cheney. Mr.. ]. Med. Adair was
the supervisor for the Tenth Dis.
trict.
The population of Virginia is
given as 2,061, 612. an increase O
e07, 429 over the census of 1900.

Mr.. Flood Opposes Convention

When interviewed by a reporter
of Richmond afternoon paper a
few days ago Congressman H. D.
Flood of the Tenth Virginia dis
trict, expressed himself as follows:
Il am opposed to having a Demo-
cratic convention. see no reason
for convention.
The Democratic party is united
in the State, as it is in the nation,
and without the injection of some
disturbing element, can confidently
look forward to easy victories in the
future.
The school and road questions
have been dealt with by the Vir-
ginia Legislature, in a manner
which l believe is satisfactory to
all the people of the State, as have
most of the important public Ques-
tions. This record constitutes the
platform of the State Democracy.
The question Of legalizing the
primary is taking care OF itself, and
developments in the recent past
have been such as to create such q
sentiment for legalizing the prim.
airy that the next Legislature will
make such an enactment without
the intervention of a convention.
