mart OF the nineteenth Gentry that it
was possible to make the carriages
lighter and more elegant.
Royal carriages were often built with
omen windows, so that kings and
oueens might be seen; but the Ordi-
nary carriages and coaches, which
were mostly boarded up with small
openings for windows, looked very
clumsy. The engraving OF Queen
,,ne's PROCESSION to st. Pauls shows a
long line of carriages, each drawn by
+yo horses. These carriages look
very heavy and are all hung very low.

COMPTROLLER of the Currency MUIR
raw will send in inspector before long

INQUIRY into the condition of state
savings and private banks and trust
companies. Some time ago the comp
troller asked the banking officials OF
every state to furnish information
relative to these banks, which are
not under control of the Federal gov
eminent. This information is desired
for publication, in accordance with a
plan adopted by the national none
tary commission. Many of the state
banking officials complied with the re-
quest. but the banking superintend-
ents of Georgia and Tennessee only
partially complied. There are no COM
plants or charges against ehe banks.

Oats and Hay Are Included.

Columbia.-Not only do the state
laws prohibit the importation of cot
ton into this state from weevil-infest
ed territory, but oats and hay from
the weevil territory Of Texas is also
prohibited. This was pointed out by
Commissioner Watson. He is in re-
ceipt of information whose source he
cannot divulge, concerning ship
ments of oats from Texas. This il.
formation reads as follows: "This
is to inform you that within the nex
month large quantities of red rust
proof oats will be shipped into this
territory from Texas and Oklahoma
As the bulk of the oats are distrib
uted in Knoxville, Tenn, is is up tc
you to say how you are going to To-
cate oats coming from Texas" Col
Watson repeated that he had moth
ing whatever to do with the enforce
ment of this quarantine law. The
problem will probably be up to the
state entomologist.

Preliminary Comparative Statistics Of

c. Hunt, Chief statlsticlan.

Columbia.-A special from Wash
ington states that the preliminary
comparative statistics of the popula-
ton of South Carolina were issued
by Census Director Durand. The
tabulations were made under the su-
pervision of VIM. C. Hunt, chief sta
tistician of the division of population
and are the result Of the first count,
in detail of the returns of the 18th
census. The figures are, therefore,
subject to possible revision, but 1t is
believed that the changes, If any,
will not be material. The figures re-
late to the state, the city of Charles
ton, the. other cities of 10000 and
over, and the counties. The total
population of the state and of Char
lesion is distributed into white, ne
gro and all other, and the percentage
proportion of each is given for the
censuses of 1910, 1900 and 1890. The
decennial percentage of increase or
decrease for the same classification
for the decade, 1900, 1910, also is
stated. The figures for the counties
ere divided into white and negro, the
later including Chinese, Japanese and
Indians, but the number Of such are
so small that they do not materially
affect the figures given for negroes.
Similar statements for the other
Southern states are being prepared and
will probably be issued in the near
future.
The figures show that of South
Cardinals total population of 1,515,-
400, only 679,162, or 44.S per cent,
are white. The negro population,
S35,S43, forms 55.2 per cent. of the
whole. The percentage of increase,
as figured by the census department,
indicates that the state has. gained
more whites than negroes, the per-
centage being 21.S for the whites, and
6.S for the negroes. The total growth
in population was 1871.
The figures for the cities of Char
lesion, Columbia, Greenville and
Spartanburg are interesting as show
ing the additions to the white popu-
lation of those towns.
