POPULATION OF AMERICA.
Figures For Thirteenth Decen-
niaI Made Public.

NAL MADE Fublic.
Washington.-The director Of
the census in Washington issued
on Thursday, Nov. 8. prelimi
nary statement Of the white and
Negro population of continental
United States, as shown by the
returns of the thirteenth decen-
NAL census. taken as of April 10.
1910. These figures have been
prepared under the supervision
; of Mr.. William G. Hunt. chief
statistician for population in the
bureau Of the census. and are
subject to later revision.
According to the returns of the
thirteenth census, the population
of continental United States
(that is. excluding Alaska. Porto
Rico and other outlying posses
sions), which was 91,972. .266 in
1910, is subdivided as to color as
follows: White, S1,732, ,GS7, or
$50 per cent; Negro, 9,S2S, 294, or
10.7 per cent; all other persons
indians, Chinese. Japanese. etc..
All ,2SJ or 04 per cent. These
figures for 1910 are compared
with similar figures for each of
the three preceding federal cen
suses.
At each succeeding federal cen
sus here considered the white
population has constituted a
somewhat larger percentage of
. the total population. with a cor
responding decrease in the per-
, centage for the Negro popula-
ton. The whites now constitute
, $50 per cent of the total popula-
!, ton rs compared with S6.5 per
, cent in 1880, whereas the Ne
groes now constitute only 1O7
, per cent of the total popula ton
5 as compared with 13.1 per cent
> in 1850
) There has been an increase in
" white population since 1900 of
5 1923. .491. or 22.3 per cent. as
!. compared with an increase in
, Negro popula ton of 994.3OO. or
1l.3 per cent. The excess in the
, percentage OF increase for the
whites is, of course, due in part
? to the large immigra ton OF for
: eign born whites during the dec
ade. There is practically no i'm
, migration of Negroes.

Pastor of Bethel African Methodist
Episcopal Church In Vicksburs Calls
Attention to Principal Matters to 30
Settled by the Various Conferences
of the Denomination.


Vicksburg, Miss.-Now that the an
nual conference season is approaching
interest in the forthcoming general
conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal church, which will be held
In Topeka, Kan. in May of next year,
is becoming widespread and of gen
eral nature. In the Eighth Episcopal
district, which comprises the four con
ferences in Mississippi and the two in
Louisiana, there is n great amount of
interest being manifested, occasioned
by the early death Of Bishop Edward
W. hampton. the only member of the
episcopacy from this district. There
are no pronounced candidates in the
field now.
~ The requisite, however is the cleo
tion of delegates from the several an
nual conferences to be held this year.
Until that is settled there will be no
telling how the forces from this impor-
tant southern diocese will be lined up
at Topeka. AS n forewOrd. however,
Dr. J. j. Morant of Nicksburg. long a
leader of thought and action in the
church. gives out n very important
statement. In the beginning he praises
the deceased Bishop hampton and de
clares that by reason OF his leadership
the brethren in Mississippi and Louisi-
ana are together. In the course of his
remarks Or. Morant says:
With reference TO the general conference
the first and most important thing for Us
To do ministers is to elect competent
men. BY competency do not incan alone
literary prOncieuCE nor moral excellence.
These qualities are highly prerequisite and
Indispensable. but to be competent means
more than these, for what is man who
