The best acre in corn and best acre
in cotton in the boys contest will not
be decided until all crops are gath
cred and reports come in.
The agricultural exhibits made yes
terday were practically all made by
members OF the boys corn clubs and
Brazos county farmers who are act
ing under direction and in co-opera-
tion with the Brazos county farm
demonstration work. This is the first
year OF the demonstration work in
Brazos county, and the results as
shown yesterday were almost phe-
nomenal and highly encouraging.
Agriculture, long neglected, is now
coming into it's own, and the govern
ment, both national and state, is
lending it every encouragement Mr..
A. w. Buchanan is in charge of the
demonstration work in Brazos county,
and so successful has been the work
the commissioners court has already
contracted with him for another year.
The results for next year, as the work
progresses and is better understood,
will>no doubt be far more satisfac-
tory than this year.
The winners in. the special events
were as follows;

LABOR DAY CELEBRAT|AN
Excellent Speaking Program Carried
Outline Barbecue Dinner
served--Awards Made
on Exhibits.

1t was only after the crowds assem-
bled at Dellwood park yesterday that
any estimate could be formed as to
the number attending the celebration
1t was splendid attendance and the
crowd was variously estimated at
from three to FIVE thousand people.
After all had assembled at the park
the crowd amused themselves in va.
rious ways. The speaking program,
as heretofore published, was carried
out. The speakers were Hon. W. G.
Davis, Judge J. C. Scott, Mayor J. T.
Maloney and Brazos County Farm
Demonstration A. w. Buchanan. The
addresses were all splendid, and were
attentively listened to by the large
crowd present.
The chief attractions for all were
the farm exhibits, and as before
stated, better exhibits were never
seen anywhere. Only the warmest
praise was heard from all who in
spected them.
From IL to 2 dinner was served,
and 1t can be truthfully stated that
a better barbecue dinner was never
served in the county. The meats
were perfectly cooked and there was
an abundance for all. Too much
praise can not be given those who
had the arrangements and the serv-
ing Of the dinner in charge.
In the afternoon Profs. A. B. Con-
nor and H. III. Jobson of the depart
ment OF agronomy OF the Agricultural
and Mechanical College judged the
various agricultural exhibits and

VALUE OF CITIZENSHIP.
More Important Than Wealth and
Should Be Strictly Guarded.

In keeping with the advancement of
the race in education, business and the
professions it is of extreme Importance
that we look well to the security of
our citizenship.
Any attempt to deceive our people
by telling them that their salvation as
citizens of the United States depends
upon the amount of land they own or
their holdings in commercial products
and the like must be met with dignified
scorn.
Take away a mans civil and poiit-
ical rights aud you strip him of his
most priceless jewel. 1t is not for self
willed politicians to decide what part
we are to take in exercising the right
to participate in the affairs of state
and nation. 1t is n common privilege
vouchsafed to each citizen by the con-
stitution.

CENSUS BUREAU FIGURES.
Department of Commerce and Labor
Reckons Number of MuIattoes.

Department of Commerce and Labor
Rectons Number of MuIattoes.
Washington.-A statement showing
by states and geographic divisions the
number and proportion of mulattoes
among the Negroes emunerate' at the
thirteenth decennial census of tie Unit
ed States, taken as of April 10, 1910,
was issued the last week in August
by Director Durand of the bureau of
the census, department of commerce
and labor The statistics were pre-
pared under the direction of William
G. Hunt. chief statistician for popula-
ton in the bureau of the census, and
are subject to revision. The statement
gives comparative figures for 1870 and
1890. no data being available for 1900
or 1900.
The term 'mulatto," as used in the
census of 1910, includes all persons, not
full blooded Negroes, who have some
proportion or perceptible trace of Ne
gro blood The bureau of the census
does not regard the returns as being
beyond question since the claSsificati ton
of Negroes as full bloods or mulattoes
was necessarily to considerable de-
gree dependent upon the personal opin-
ion and conscientiousness of the emu
merators The results. however, are
believed to approximate the facts for
the country as a whole and for large
aggregates.
In 1910 there were in continental
United States. rs a whole. 9S2T. 1853 Ne
Groes. of whom 2,05qeS6, or 2o.9 per
cent, Were reported rs mulattoes. In
1890 there We're l.132. .060 mulattoes re
ported, or 15.2 per cent of all the Ne
groes, and in 1870 a total of 5SJ. .0i9, or
- per cent, Thus the figures taken at
their face value show that about one
fifth of all the Negroes in 1910 had
some admiyture of white blood as
against about one-eichth in 1870. 1t
may be noted. however that IN in
crease in the mulatto element does not
necessarily imply Increasing in;, rink
ture with the whites. since the children
born of marriages between blacks and
mulattoes would he mulattoes accord
ing to the census definition.
The percentage Of mulattoes reported
varies widely in different states and diff
ferent sections of the country. 1t was
to be expected that tie percentage
would be relatively high in those sec
tions where the Negro population is
small rs compared with the total popu-
lation and would be higher in the north
than In the south, In general the re
suits are in agreement with this pre-
sumption.
In New England and in the east.
north. central and Pacific divisions
about one-third of the Negro popula-
tion We're reported rs mulGttoes, while
in each OF the three southern divisions
the proportion is only about one-ffth.
In the middle Atlantic division for
some reason the percentage is not high
er than 1t is in the southern divisions.
This may possibly be due to the rapid
growth of Negro population in that di-
vision through immigration from the
south.
