We publish in another column to-
day report from the census depart
ment of the population of South Caro-
lima by races, giving the population of
each county and Of cities of 10000
and more. While the negroes are still
largely in the majority in the State,
it will be seen that the percentage of
increase has been larger amongst the
white people than amongst the ne
groes. In fact, the percentage of
population of negroes in 1890 was 1913,
and of whites, 4O.1. In 1900 the per-
centage was, negroes 5s.41, and
whites 41.e. In 1910, the per-
centage of whites is. gradually in
creasing while that of negroes is gra-
dually decreasing.
fckens county has the smallest
negro population, Horny next and
Oconee closely follows.
In Newberry county, the total popu-
lation is 1856; negroes, 22,041, and
whites 1855. In 1900 the total popu-
lation was 5O,1S2, distributed, negroes
1881, whites 1o,351. While the negro
population is so per cent more than the
white, the increase of white popula-
ton during the ten years is only Is
less than the increase in the nagro
population. The total increase, it will
be seen of whites is 2,194, and of ne
groes 2,210. The figures furnish an
interesting study.

Friday, September S, 1911.

The change in the editorial manage
ment and business control Of the old
Laurensville Herald is followed by a
change in the style of the paper. For
years it has remained the old style of
four pages. The new management has
changed to an eight page paper, and
while it is an improvement still it
takes away one of the characteristics
of the old Laurensville Herald.

Award of School Bid

Sustaining the Commissioners in
awarding the ArmstrCN Manual Train
ing School annex contract to the Davis
Construction Company. Justice Ander-
son. Of the District Supreme Court, to-
day refused to issue an injunction asked
for by the Melton Construction Com
pany.
The controversy between the rival
contractors is not ended by Justice An
derson's order, but the Commissioners
win a temporary, yet decisive, victory.
Justice Anderson, who dismissed the
rule issued against the Commissioners
to show cause why their award should
not be entoined. No reasons are given.
The Davis company may now proceed
under the award granted July 6, when
their belated bid was accepted at saw
ing of at least 5000 to the District.
Further proceedings are threatened.
Affidavits may be furnished in an ef-
fort to prevent payment.
Other contractors are said to be
vigorously protesting against alleged
irregularity in receiving bids.
The Davis bid was offered several
minutes after bids closed upon the
work, due, 1t said. to a difference in
time of the watch of the bidder and
the Commissioners clock. On the fol-
lowing day the Davis bid was accepted
at a special meeting Of the Commits
sioners II was charged that the Davis
Company had knowledge of other bids
filed by rival contractors before It filed.
