POPULATION or TEXAS
ACCORDING TO COLOR
The Rate of Increase in Both White
/ and Negro Population Less
for Preceding Decade.
Associated Press Special.

Washington, Feb. ga prelimin-
airy statement Of the white and ne
gro population of Texas, by coun-
ties and principal cities, as shown
| by the returns of the thirteenth de-
cennial census, taken as of April 10,
1910, was issued today by Director
! Durand of the bureau of the CEN
sus, department of commerce and
labor. The statistics We're prepared
under the direction of William G.
Hunt, chief statistician for popula-
| ton in the census bureau, and are
subject to later revision.
The total population Of Texas IN
1910 was subdivided as to color as
follows. White, 3.204,S96; negro,
t $4,000; all other persons INDIANS
and Chinese, Japanese, and other
Asiatics) 1926. The equivalent fig
lures for 1900 We're: White, 2,42e,~
| 1859; negro, 620,722; all other, T.
1919. For 1890 they were: White, H.
l745,935; negro, 4s8,171; all other
1921.
| The negro population constituted
I17.7 per cent of the total population
of the state in 1910, as against 20.4
per cent in 1900 and 21.S per cent
| in 1890.
The rate of increase in both the
white and negro population since
1900 was less than that for the pre-
fceding decade. This is particularly
the case with respect to the negroes
which show an increase from 1909
| to 1910 of 69,2S8, or 11.2 per cent.
/ as against an increase from 1890 to
1900 of 132.551. or 27.2 per cent.
The increase in the white population
since 1900 was 77s,227, or 32.1 per
cent, as compared with an increase
from 1890 to 1900 of $50 734, or SO
iper cent

TEXAS LIGNIIE
Cheap and Abundant Fuel
30,000,000,000 tons on
Deposit.

In report issued by Prof. W. b.
Phillips, Director of the Bureau OF
Economic Geology and Technology,
some interesting data is given on
the fuels Of Texas. The Ignite
fields Of the State probably extend
over 10000 square miles, SO the pam
phlet states, and the original supply
Of this fuel lying beneath our sur
face is estimated at 10000 100000
tons. As the amount taken from
the earth SO far amounts to only a
small per cent, the supply of this
fuel need occasion no anxiety for the
next thousand years or so. Every
known variety of Ignite has been
found in Texas, from material
carrying but a few per cent of fixed
carbon to nearly As per cent and
with from 80 per cent Of volatile and
combustible matter to more than 70
i per cent. The beds Of this fuel run
from Is feet and more in thickness
to depts of 400 to 600 feet. The
counties in which workable beds OF
Ignite occur are Anderson, Ange-
lima, Atascosa, Bastrop, Bowie, Brew
ster, Caldwell, Camp, Cass, Chero-
kee, Dimmitt, Fayette, Freestone,
Grimes, Harrison, Henderson, Hop
kins, Houston, Jasper, Lee, Leon,
Limestone, McMullen, Marion, Me-
dina, Milan, Morris, Nacogdoches,
Newton, Pamela, Rains, Robertson,
Rusk, Sabine, San Augustine, Shell
by, Smith, Titus, Upshur, Van
! Zandt, Webb, Wood and zavalla. In
general way, workable Ignite is
found in all that part Of Texas lying
east Of the 97th meridian Of west
longitude and north Of the 31st de
gree Of north latitude, but there
are a few important areas outside
of these boundaries.
| The average value Of the Ignite
mined in Texas in 1910 at the mines
was 90 cents, the production having
been 9T9,232 tons, the largest IN the
history of the State.
1t may be accepted as fact that
there is enough Ignite beneath the
surface of Texas to run our engines,
supply our factories and provide fuel
for heating purposes for several CEN
turtles to come.
! The University Of Texas is using
Ignite for running the power house
Of that institution, Texas rail-
road is using it for fuel, and Tex
, as Ignite bids fair to become uni
yersally used as fuel during the
