TON OF FLORIDA

rcau OF the census, L. Dana Durand
director, gives the following valuable
information concerning Florida:
/ The population OF Florida is 49,
Ga. Compared with population OF
,.>,5i2 in 1900, this represents an
increase during the last decade of
.24,o 90, or i2.4 per cent. During the
same period the total population of
continental United tSateS increased
> per cent. The growth of the State
was somewhat more rapid than dur
ing the preceding decade, IS9O-lyoO,
when the rate was 35 per cent.
Florida was organized as terri
tory III 1922 and appears in the fed
eral census reports for the first time
in 1880.
\ comparison OF the rates of in
crease for the State with those for
continental United States shows that
the State has increased in population
more rapidly than the country as a
whole during every decade since
1880. For the last decade, 1900 1910,
the rate OF increase for the State was
more than twice that for the country
as Il whole. The population OF the
state in 1910 was more than twenty
one times than in 1890, while that OF
continental United States was Onl;
about seven times the corresponding
figure for 1880.
Florida has - cities. Jackson
Vile, the largest, has a population of
- ,G99, and Tampa, the second city,
population of 377,7S2. Pensacola,
with 222,9S2 inhabitants, and Key
West, with 1886 inhabitants, are
the other cities in the State having
over 10000 inhabitants. There are
also & cities having from 1000 to
10000, 10 from $500 to 1000, and
- having less than 100 inhabi-
tants.
Florida ranks twenty-iifth in land
area and thirty-third in population
among the States and territories OF
continental United tSatcs. Practical
~ all of the State lies below an alti-
ll.dc OF 80 feet this elevation being
attained only in the extreme north
western portion. and more than two
thirds of he State lies at an altitude
q less than 100 feet above idc level.
Between 1900 and 1910 the popu-
lation OF the State increased t.. pc"
cent and the number of farms 49,,
Per cent During the same period
there was an increase of o0.l per
cent in the total farm acreage and
Of ia per cent in the acreage OF
in proved land.
For the State rs Il whole the aver
age value OF farm land per acre is
$l7.Si. In 20 counties in the north
ern part of the state the average is
less than $40, while il is between sic
and SIS in L. counties. of which
are in the central and northeastern
Parts Of the tSatc, and in the north
western part In the counties in the
eastern and southern parts OF the
peninsula the average values per acre
for the relatively small amount of
land actually in farms are compare
lively high Thus in :, counties in
the northern part Of the peninsula
and in |. De Soto. in the southern
part. he average values are from So
to $50 per acres: in the south
ernmost counties and in IIllsboro
and Orange counties, from $40 to-
So; in = counties. Manatcc and
l,rcvard. from 81, to $l00; while in
st l.ucie county the average is over
Slo0.

RlCHESON GIVEN
 DEATH SENTENCE

Boston, Jan, With the ap. pearance of a man who had aban. doned all hope of life, the Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson stood today at the bar of justice, de- clared his guilt of the premedi. tated murder by means of potas- sium cyanide of his former sweet heart, Avis Linnell, and without a tremor heard Judge Sanderson sentence him to death in the electIic chair within the week beginning May 19.
 While displaying remarkable stoicism, the young Virginian ap. peared to those who crowded the little courtroom as if he were conducting his own funeral. Yet, as he walked out of the court room there was a trace of the old-time jauntiness; it seemed to indicate to many that his fight was not yet done.
 The half dozen questions which Judge Sanderson put to Riche' son as to whether he realized the full nature and effect of his ack- nowledgment of guilt, he answer ed without show of emotion, and always in the affirmative.
