 particular local interest as the rev company rlsns to open a factory ss

Pass the Danger Line.

The census figures of the popula-
ton of South Carolina according to
races, published in our last issue,
shows that the State has crossed the
danger line of negro domination.
The report indicates that in the next
decade the State will have a white
majority. At the close Of the war,
South Carolina had the next largest
per centage of negroes over whites
of any State OF the South, Mississippi
being first. Then the negroes out
numbered the whites over two to
one, but the census figures just made
public show that the races will soon
be equal in numbers in this State.
This is certainly great gain, and
shows that the whites will soon out
number the blacks.
The population of the State as
whole is 679,162 whites and S35, ,S43
cclored, an actual increase in ten
years of 1885 whites and 53,522
colored; or relative increase Of els
per cent. whites and 6S per cent.
colored. The population of the State
is now 44.S per cent. white and $50
per cent. colored, whereas ten years
ago it was 41.6 per cent. white and
5S.4 per cent. colored, and 20 years
ago it was 4O.1 per cent. white and
$50 per cent. colored. The decen-
nial increase in population from 1900
to 1910 was only 13.1 per cent, but
the increase in white population was
21.S per cent and in colored G.S per
cent.
In 1890, with but 1,151, 900 people
in South Carolina, there was negro
majority of 226,S26. The 1910 CEN
sus, accounting for 1,515, 900 people,
shows a considerably decreased ne
gro majority of 156,651. The white
gain between 1890 and 1900 was 95,-
799; the negro gain in the same de-
cade was 93,3S7, but the white gain
between 1900 and 1919 was 1885,
while the negro gain was but 3d.
522. Should this ratio of gain be
maintained by the two races for the
next two decades the whites would be
largely in the majority in South Car
olina.
The State points out that ''in sew
eral coast counties with large negro
populations-Georgetown, Charleston
and Beaufort-there have been heavy
losses. Georgetown's negro popula-
tion is 1,40O smaller than ten years
ago; Charleston's negro population
has decreased 4,300; Colleton shows
neither loss nor gain; Beaufort, with
relatively the largest negro popula-
tion Of any county in the State, lost
nearly six thousand negroes, while
The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1911-09-09

gaining about six hundred whites.
On the other hand, counties with
large white populations have gained
largely in negroes. Spartanburg
shows an increase of more than 5000
blacks; York of $500; Newberry
more than 1000; Cherokee more
than 1000; Greenwood more than
1000.
1t may be that the "'tton mills in
drawing white tenants from farms
in those counties have have given op-
portunity to more negroes. But that
would not account for the gain in
Spartanburg for while the increase
for the county is about 5000, more
than half are accounted for in the
2,605 increase of negro population in
the city of Spartanburg." We fully
agree with The State that "if there
is an organized, sane movement tc
attract white people to South Caro-
lima begun now and pressed with in
telligence, the 1920 census will show
South Carolina a white State

For fifty years. Cardui has been re-
lleving pain and distress caused BY ,wo-
manly trouble. It will surely help you.
It goes to the spot-reaches the

drives away the cause.

Term on Monday.


The graded schools at North opens
up for another's years work on next
Monday, and all are looking forward
to a most successful years work.
In spite Of the hindrances OF last
session it was one of average sues
cess. Several epidemics threatened
the closing of the school and the ses-
sion was unexpectedly shortened anc
the class of four prevented from
graduating.
! In the summer special school tax
was voted, but owing to the crowded
condition of the school and the in
creased number of Stateaided high
schools the present fund had to be
supplemented to allow Of a nine
months session and to add one
teacher.
All the teachers for the coming ses-
sion are new, except one, and the out
look is promising for successful
school year. Prof. w. l.. Bennett of
Hartsville is principal, and the teach.
ers are: Miss Lucy Edwards, Miss
Louise 71ahaffey, Miss Isabelle
