WHITES IN THE SOUTH.
Past Census Decade Shows Drift OF
White Population SOuthward.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The last census bulletin furnishes
most interesting and instructive infor-
NATION on a point concerning which
we have had nothing definite hereto
fore-the extent of the immigration
movement of population into the South
from other parts of the country. While
we are bidding for immigration from
all parts of the world. we naturally
prefer settlers from the North and
West, farmers, mechanics and labor
ers, of our race, language, ideas and
habits. We know that thousands OF
them, especially of the agricultural
classes, are being crowded out Of the
North by the increasing density of
population, the lack of available land
for farming purposes Of the excessive
prices demanded for such land. For
the last 20 years the many Southern
immigration agents have turned their
attention mainly to the North and
West, to persuade the people who are
being crowded out that they can fare
better in the South, with its fertile soil
and splendid climate, than in the dis
tant arid districts of their far West,
or the alien, blizzardy prairies OF
Canada.
The census heretofore has always
told very different tale-that the in
terstate movement of population was
in the other direction-to the north
ward, not southwark. Virginia and
Kentucky furnished large part, il

4 Revival of Walking.

Aristid Pujol found many joyous
adventures in walking about, and so
may anybody. The truth is realized
by a number OF prominent men OF
New York City, who have formed a
walking club; walking for pleasure

lost art of walking should be revived
Street cars and motor cars, great

and physical. The charter members

lowed, would mean that all residents
of the county cooperate in securing
better thoroughfares. 1t is the only
possible way to build good roads un-
less a bond issue is foated, as the
available funds under the present ar
rangement are not adequate to even
maintain the roads.
On the Howard Gap road much in
terest has been aroused and in many
places the improvement has been
great. Similar conditions exist on the
Glenn Springs road. Farmers have
awakened to the fact that they must
do their share if they are to benefit.
Good roads must 6e built. They
must have a foundation that can and
will withstand the most severe winter
rains. They must have a good, hard
foundation of a substance that will
not be washed away every rainy
spell. They must be we'll rounded
at the crest 50 that the water Wlll
flow off either side and they must
also be properly drained.
The roads that are now being
built in this county should prove not
only an example but stimulus to
other sections Of the county and the
sooner the farmers learn what can
be accomplished by cooperative
methods. the sooner they will aid in
road construction.
County authorities have also awak-
ened to this need and are doing good
work on the Glenn Springs road in
repairing the macadam, in hauling
sand which is placed on top of the
mud and which will make a good
solid foundation.

not a majority, Of the early population
of Ohio. They and North Carolina
helped to settle Indiana and Illinois,
and the lower halves of these States
are Southern in their origin, th cir peo-
pie, ideas and points of view. Oregon
was originally settled almost eXclu-
sively from Missouri. In California,
North and South met in about equal
proportions, with the Southern element
dominating socially and politically.
In the first six decades of the 10Th
century the South lost several millions
of her sons and daughters, who NOV
ed North because they found slavery
unpleasant and inimical to them There
was steady tide of white population
northward. The negroes did not go,
for reasons unnecessary to mention,
except those that travelled by the
underground railroad, and their num-
Der has been grossly and absurdly ex-
aggerated in the prejudiced histories
of the times. For more than half
century the South was losing portion
of it's white population to the North,
and in this way was losing ground in
wealth, industry, population and in
fluence.
We had hoped to see this tendency
reversed when the prejudices caused
by evil strife ended, and when the tide
of white population, veering around,
would move on the South. The last
bulletin proves that this natural con-
dition has finally come about.
During the past decade the white
population of the Southern States in
creased from 16,521,970 to 20,547,42o,
or 24.4 per cent, while their negro
population grew only from 7,922,969 to
S,749,427, or 104 per cent. The super
intendent of the census explains this
remarkable and unprecedented change
very clearly and very correctly, stat
Ing that it is due to the fact that many
many whites moved from other parts
OF the country to the South, while a
considerable number of negroes drift
ed North, under the delusion that they
were Going to enjoy different and bet
ter social and political conditions
there.
The census figures fully support this
exclamation. While the whites increas-
ed 24.4 per cent in the South, they
increased only 20.3 in the North and
West, in spite of the millions of Euro
pean immigrants settling in the latter
sections. On the other hand the ne
groes grew 1913 per cent in the North
and only 1914 in the South. The South-
ern States are evidently growing
white mans country more rapidly than
ever before, not from foreign immigra-
tion, but from the incoming of settlers
from other parts of the country. There
are in the south today 1852 New
Englanders. 2S9,479 persons from the
Middle States and 1,113,168 from the
West, and total of 1,732,524 people
who are not Southerners by birth, but
who moved into this section by pref
erence because they think it offers
them better advantages than their old
homes.
This is a most gratifying showing
and it is the first time we have ever
been able to make it. We may expect
this movement to make still further
progress in the next decade, as those
who have settled in the South and
have Jared we'll let their relatives,
friends and neighbors know of their
success.

ks WITH WEDDING RING.
r Behavior of Circlet When SuS.
pended from String.

This is the mystery Of the wedding
ring. Can you solve it? Nobody, as ye
has been able to account for its
strange convolutions, but maybe yor
will be more clever.
What makes the wedding ring
swing?
Why does it swing one way for .
man and quite another way for
woman?
Is it the difference in what wise men
call "aura?" And a we'll known Lon
don doctor has recently demonstrated
that the aura of the male and female
differ widely.
Wedding rings often make the peo-
ple who wear them, and even other
persons, behave in the most unac-
eountable manner, but few of us have
ever seen a wedding ring itself in
dulge in mysterious performances
saws The Chicago Tribune.
And this is not trick. Remember
that
1t is a scientific experiment, illus
trating laws of physics, physiology or
psychology.
This is the way to go about it.
Take a silver fork and place it be-
fore YOU on a polished wooden table
The fork should be at right angles
from vonr body with the handle near
est you.
Seat yourself at the table. Tie a
0ieoe, of light string about Is inches IN
length to a plain gold wedding ring
After the wedding ring has been tled
+o the extreme end of the string, wrap
the other end Of the string three times
.ronnd the first joint Of the first fin
ger on the right hand.
Hold the string in place around the
frst finger with the ball of the thumb
Of the same hand. Place your rlghr
elbow on the table beside the FORK
with the forearm in a vertical posi-
4ion. and permit your hand to drop at
right angle from the wrist. This
allows the string with the wedding
ing attached to hang directly over
the fork.
The ring must be suspended about
one-ouarter of an inch above the FORK
and as nearly as possible at its center
Place your left hand, fat and palm
downward, upon the table beside
the fork. Do your best to keep your
hand steady, and thus prevent the
strins. with it's attached wedding ring
from swinging. In spite OF your e1-
forts you will find that the wedding
ring moves,
If a man is holding the string the
wedding ring will commence slowly TO
sway back and forth along the fork
If woman holds the string the ring
svays across the fork With some
PEOPLE the movement is slight, while
with others it is marked, but at al
times it is unmistakable.
Now here's the most curious part
If woman is holding the string when
the movement across the fork has
once been firmly established, let
man place his right hand firmly upon
her left hand, which rests upon the
table. The ring will be seen slowly
to stop it's cross movement, and after
a few moments the motion will be
reversed. The ring will swing the
length of the fork.
A similar change Of movement will
occur in the event of a man holding
the string while a woman places her
right hand over his left hand.
Can you account for this mysterious
behavior of the wedding ring?
