The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1911-11-15

They are wearing waistcoats made
from cloth formerly worn only by
women, and they are decorating both
coats and waistcOats with fancy but
tons such as only women used to
wear. In the matter Of hosiery the
men are following the women and
running to sheer silks of fancy col
ors with cloaks and embroidery of
striking designs. Then the hats of
the young men are almost as gay of
fancy ribbons for bands as are the
hats of the girls gay of fancy ribbons
and bows. Moreover, the shapes OF
the newest London coats for men
are almost interchangeable with
those for women.
A Paris prediction is that within
few years men will be wearing
knee breeches, silk hose and pumps
with buckles, as was the custom a
hundred years ago. But it doesn' t
seem reasonable that the men will
permit the women to chase them out
OF their trousers like that. Rather
1t is more reasonable to think that
there will be compromise and a
meeting on common ground, when it
will be a hard matter to distinguish
between the pretty boys and the
pretty girls, as is the case in Korea.

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating a Symptom That Should
Not Be Disregarded.

Appetite is just natural desire
for food. Loss of appetite or stom-
ach distress after eating indicates
digestion or dyspepsia Over-eating
is habit very dangerous to a per-
sons good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered
stomach, and many people daily con-
tract serious maladies simply
through disregard or abuse of the
stomach.
We urge all in Dawson who suffer
from any stomach arrangement, indi-
gestion or dyspepsia, whether acute
or chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets with the distinct understand
ing that we will refund their money
without question or formality if af-
ter reasonable use of this medicine
they are not perfectly satisfied with
the results We recommend them
to our customers every day, and
have yet to hear of any one who has
not benefited by them. We honestly
believe them to be without equal.
They give very prompt relief, aiding
to neutralize the gastric juices and
strengthen the digestive organs. to
regulate the bowels and thus to pro-
mote perfect nutrition and eradicate
all unhealthy symptoms.
We urge you to try a 20 cents box
of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which
gives . days treatment. At the end
of that time your money will be re-
turned to you if you are not salts
fed. OF course in chronic cases the
length of treatment varies. For such
cases we have two larger sizes that
sell for so cents and 81. Remem-
Der you can obtain Rexall Remedies
in this community only at our store

New jersey Returns to Repnblicans.

Two states, New York and New
Jersey, replaced democratic assem-

elected an assembly that will have a
republican majority greater than the
present democratic majority in the
lower branch of the legislature.
In New Jersey, which has demo-
cratic legislature, the republicans
will have control of both houses,
having elected large majority of
the members of that body

WILL WEAR EN- ALL ALIKE?
GOODNESS KNOWS WHERE EVO-
LUTON IN DRESS MAY LEAD.
Approaching thes Same Condition as
in Korea, Where Men and Wo-
men CAN'T Be Told Anart.

We Occidentals appear to be in the
throes of an evolution in dress that
may lead goodness knows where.
Some of the OrientaIs seem to have
completed the evolution and found
a common level suited to the needs
Of both sexes and all conditions In
Korea, for instance, men and women
dress precisely alike, and not only
that, but they look alike. 1t may
have been the influence Of the COM
mon costume that nodded the faces
of the Koreans into one general type.
At any rate, it is said to be a fact
that an European cannot possibly tell
men from women in Korea by dress
or face. The story is told of a
wealthy young Englishman who, Wis
iting Seoul, CHANGED to meet a native
beauty who spoke a charming patoiS
in which there was English enough
to make a conversation ineligible
to the foreigner from overseas. In
an hour the Englishman was making
love when his charmer abruptly
broke the spell by saying, you must
excuse me now; I promised by wife
that l would be at home in time for
dinner"
Are we approaching a similar con
ditiOn2 For some time we have not
ed the fact that the ladies have been
affecting coats and collars and ties
like those worn by men, and we see
in the papers the statement that the
suffragettes of Canada and. London
and Liverpool, and also possibly
some of those of the United States,
are going to wear trousers in add
ton to the other masculine garb
that they have appropriated. DR..
Mary Walker led the way to trousers
many years ago, but the sisterhood
would not follow then, or even later;
but it seems that the desire to vote
has shown of them a great light re-
specting the hygienic advantages of
the clothes that men wear.
On the other hand, we find ac-
cOrding to the authorities on styles,
that men are running more and more
to those fads and fancies that were
formerly peculiar to wOmankind
London sets the pace for mems APP

South has grown from 911,O25 to
LOTS or by 1877, 1897, equal to
1874 per cent.
AS already explained, the increase
of the white population in the North
and West is largely influenced by
foreign immigration, while the in
crease of the negro population in
those sections is in part the result
| Of the migration Of negroes from
the South.
Details for the South by States.
In South Carolina and Mississippi
the negroes exceeded the whites in
/ 1900 and 1910, although the proper
! ton in 1910 is somewhat smaller
than in 1900. In West Virginia, Ar
kansas and Oklahoma the negroes
constituted a slightly larger proper
ton Of the total population in 1910
than in 1900, principally as the re-
| suit Of the migration of negroes from
other states.
In every Southern state, with the
exception of West Virginia, Arkansas
and Oklahoma, the whites had a
higher rate Of increase than the ne
groes.
In Maryland, Kentucky and Ten
nessee there has been since 1900 an
actual decrease in the number of ne
grOes; and in Delaware and Virginia
there has been only a slight increase
in negroes, namely, 1.6 per cent in
each case. These are all doubtless
due largely to the migration of ne
groes from those states, partly per-
hapS to the more SOutherly states,
but more particularly to states en-
tirely outside of the South.
The full significance of the
changes in the relative numbers of
the two races in the South cannot be
definitely stated until more complete
statistics are available particularly
those showing the interstate migra-
ton Of native-born population.

Ohio Is Democratic.

Ihere were reversals from the re-
publican to the democratic party in
kentucky and Ohio. In KENTUCKY
maJorities were given to practically
all the democratic candidates. and
James B. McCreary was elected gov
ernor by over 10000. The state
legislature will have democratic
membership of probably So. sufficient
10 secure the election of a demo-
cratic United States senator.
The democrats were swept into
power IN the three largest cities in
OHIO, Columbus, Cincinnati and
Cleveland returning decisive demo-
cratic majorities.
A feature of the elections throuqb-
out the state was the large socialist
vote. In Colubus Eby, the socialist
candidate for mayor, ran a close race
with Mayor Marshall, the republican
nominee, for second place. while
George }. Karb, democrat. was elect
ed by from 1000 to 5000 maiority
In Cincinnati Mayor Louis
SchWab, running for reelection with
the republican endorsement. was d.
Ieated by Henry 7. Hunt, democrat
by 5000. IL u d
In Cleveland Newton D. Baker
democrat and political heir to the
late Tom L. Johnson, was elected
mayor by probably 10000, while
practically the entire democratic
ticket is elected with him

WHITE AND NEGRO CENSUS
STATISTICS FOR 1910 ISSUED
BY THE NATIONAL BUREAU.
Whites Are Gaining on Blacks. Pros
portions of Two Races in Diff
ferent Sections of Country.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-The d.
sector of the census today issued a
preliminary statement of the white
and negro population of continental
United States as shown by the re-
turns of the thirteenth decennial cen
sus, taken as of April 10, 1910.
These figures have been prepared I'M
der the supervision of William C.
Hunt, chief statistician for popula-
ton 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 Chat is,
excluding Alaska, Porto Rico and
other outlying possessions) which
was 9l,972,266 in 1910, is subdi-
Yided as to color as follows:
White, 81,732,687, or $50 per
cent; negro, 9,828,294, or 1O.7 per
cent; all other person indians, Chi
nese, Japanese, etc.) 411.285 or o.
per cent.
AT each succeeding federal census
since 1890 the white population has
constituted a somewhat larger per-
-centage of the total population, with
a corresponding decrease in the per-
centage for the negro population.
The whites now constitute $50 per
cent of the total population, as com
pared with 86,5 per cent in 1880,
whereas the negroes now constitute
only lO.7 per cent of the total popu-
lation, as compared with 1871 per
cent in 1880.
There has been an increase in
white population since 1900 of IA
923, 491, or 22.3 per cent, as com
pared with an INCREASE in negro pop
ulatiOn Of 994, 800, or 11.3 per cent.
The excess in the percentage of in
crease for the whites is, of course,
due in part to the large immigration
of fOreign-born white during the de-
Cade. There is practically no immi-
grafton of negroes.
White and Negro Population Proper
tons in the South.
Of the total population Of 'the
South in 1910 the whites constituted
69.9 per cent and the negroes 29.8
Der cent, as compared with GA and
1928 per cent, respectively, in 1900,
and with 63.9 and SO per cent, re-
spectively, in 1880. The gain since
1880 in the proportion Of the white
population of the South is the result
largely of higher natural increase
among whites than negroes, although
it is to some extent due to the mi
grafton of negroes to states outside
the South. Neither interstate migra-
ton nor immigration from foreign
countries has added very largely to
the white population of the South.
The natural increase Of the white
population is considerably higher in
the South than it is in the North.
During the last decade, 1900-1910
the white population of the South
increased 4,O25, SOB, or 24.4 per cent
as compared with an increase OF
826,421, or 10.4 per cent, for tht
negro population of the South.
Conditions in the Country Outside Of
The South.
For the remainder of the countr!
outside of the South there has beer
an increase in white population dur
ing the decade from 50,287,226 Il

cred the funeral eulogy and paid trib-
ute to the dead Senator.
Two hundred altar bows were
present at the services in the church
and twenty-four clergymen from vari-
Gus Catholic churches sang high mass.
These paid tribute to the late Senator
in honor of his futile fight in the SEN
ate about FIVE years ago for Catholic
representation in the Chicago public
schools.
"Mr. Rainey was a patriot" said
Father Kelly in his sermon. HE was
a soldier since he was II years old.
He believed in peace. but also believed
in being prepared in tic event of war.
His usefulness in the Ninth senatorial
district was recognized by all who
came in contact with lin. He had
been there since his boyhood and was
respected by all. He was the judge
and jury among his Irish friends in
the district, and looked after their
welfare
