A NEW METHOD FOR
BRICKING STREETS

A new method of building brick
streets, said to be as good as the one
now in use, and to have the added adj
vantage of being much cheaper, is to
be investigated by the city officials.
In the new system, which is in vo-
que in many other cities, the cement
used in the foundations is dispensed
with. A solid bed of crushed stone,
we'll tamped, and rolled is laid for the
foundation and on this the sand and
brick are placed. 1t is said to be easier
drained, and to have more resistent
qualities as well as being much cheap
er than the method now employed.
That cement is not absolutely essen
tial to laying brick street is shown
by the wearing qualities displayed by
Main street, which has no cement in
it's construction.

CENSUS OF NEGROES
And Mulattoes Prepared by
the u. S. Government.
CNational News Association

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 2s.-A
preliminary statement showing by
states and geographic divisions the
number and proportion of mulattoes
among the negroes enumerated at the
Thirteenth Decennial Census of the
United States, taken April Is. 1910,
was issued today by Director Durand
of the Bureau of the Census, Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. The
statistics were prepared under the di-
rection of William c. Hunt. chief sta.
tistician for population in the Bureau
of the Census, and are subject to revi-
sion. The statement gives compare
tive figures for 1870 and 1890. no data
being available for 1850 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 negro blood. The Bureau of the
Census does not regard the returns as
being beyond question since the class
ification of negroes as full-bloods or
mulattoes was necessarily TO a con-
siderable degree dependent upon the
personal opinion and conscientiousness
of the enumerators. The results. how
ever, are believed to approximate the
facts for the country as a whole and
for large aggregates.
In 1910 there were in continental
United States as a whole, 9,S27.763 ne
eroes, of whom 2,050.6s6. or 20.9 per
cent, were reported as mulattoes. In
1890 there were 1,132,060 mulattoes
reported, or 1872 per cent of all the
negroes, and in 1870 a total of 5S4,-
049, or IL per cent. Thus, the figures
taken at their face value show that
about one-fifth of all the negroes in
1910 had some admixture of white
blood. as against about one-eighth in
| 1870. 1t may be noted. however, that
an increase in the mulatto element
does not necessarily imply increasing
\ intermixture with the whites, since
the children born of marriages be-
tween blacks and mulattoes would be
mulattoes according to the census
definition.
The percentage of mulattoes report
ed varies widely in different states
and different sections of the country.
In New England and in the East,
North, Central and Pacific divisions
about one-third of the negro popula-
ton were reported as mulattoes. while
in each of the three southern divisions
is only about one-fifth. In the Middle
Atlantic division for some reason the
percentage is not higher than it is in
the southern divisions. This may pos.
sibly be due to the rapid growth OF
negro population in that division
through immigration from the south.

mitteemen in the county, and of these
the fifteen named resigned in body.
1t is said others will follow the fifteen

port that the Progressive party is in

nounced that poll taken in precinct
