Who has too many wives?
On no less authority than that of the
United States census bureau, we have II
that there are 2O,7OO married men in
Atlanta fifteen years of age and over
On no less authority. It is stated that
there are 20,9s2 married women in At
lanta fifteen years Of age and over. Tho
figures refer to white population.
Plainly. there are 282 more married
women in Atlanta than there are mar
ried men. Who has the extra wives
The bulletin is strangely silent on this
vital question.
Many other interesting figures are
contained In the analysis of the char
acteristics. composition and marital
status Of Georgia's population. For in
stance:
Bachelors greatly outnumber
spinsters in Atlanta.
There are 14,254 single men and
111SO single women over fifteen
years of age.
There are but 1857 wldowers,
while there are 1883 widows, which
indicates. according to the bulletin,
not that men more often remarry,
but that as they marry at later
age, they die before their wives.
There are III divorced men and
100 divorced women in the city, but
it is remarked that many divorced
persons deceive the enumerator,
and give their condition as single or
widowed

White IIIiteraey Small.

In Georgia there are $50, 631 dwelling
houses and 553,264 families, with an
average of 40 persons per dwelling and
Al persons per family. Each family,
then. keeps 2 of a boarder.
nliteracy among native born whites
Is only IS per cent, and only 6 per cent
among whites of foreign parentage or
birth
There are in the state 1901 males for
every 100 females. Ten years ago there
were but 99.1 males for every 100 fe-
males. Whether boy babies are increas-
ing in proportion. whether men live
longer now than ten years ago. or
whether women die faster, is left I'M
answered by the bureau,
In the cities of $500 and over there
are but 926 men to 100 women, and in
the country 1921 men to 100 women.
Thus it seems that, contrary to the
usual belief, the women flock to the
cities in greater number than the men.
Fewer Children in Cities.
In the cities there are fewer children,
and more persons in or past the prime
Of life Either country life does not
conduce. toward longevity. or a large
number flock to town upon reaching
maturity.
About one girl In five marries be-
tween the ages Of fifteen and nineteen
years. in Georgia. while but three men
out of a hundred marry between these
ages. That wedlock is more popular in
the country than in the towns also IS
pointed out by the statistics,
In Atlanta there are about three
whites to one negro, 33.5 per cent is the
actual percentage of negro population.
In seven counties of Georgia, however,
the blacks make 80 per cent or more Of
the populate For the state the pro-
portion is $40 per cent white and 451
negroes. In 1900 the proportion was
53.3 white and 46.7 negro. Negro popu-
lation increase is not keeping up uisa
white.
