Census Report Reveals Curious
Matrimonial Figures for
Atlanta.
Who has too many wives?

Who has too many wives?
On no less authority than that OF the
United States census bureau. we have it
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 2OsS2 married women in At
lanta fifteen years of age and over. The
figures refer to white population.
Plainly. there are 2S2 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
acterlstics, composition and marital
status of Georgla's population. For in
stance:
Bachelors greatly outnumber
spinsters in Atlanta.
There are 14.254 single men and
11.1SO single women over fifteen
years of age.
There are but 1857 widowers,
while there are 1888 widows, which
indicates. according to the bulletin,
not that men more often remarry,
but that as they marry at a later
age. they die before their wives
There are III divorced men and
100 divorced women in the city but
il IS remarked that many divorced
persons deceive the enumerator,
and give their condition as single or
widowed
White IlIiteracy Small.
In Georgia there are 530,63l dwelling
houses and 55S.264 families, with an
average of 40 persons per dwelling and
AZ persons per family. Each family
then keeps 2 Of a boarder.
nliteracy among native born whites
Is only rs per cent, and only 6 per cent
among whites of foreign parentage OF
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 un-
answered by the bureau.
In the cities of $500 and over there
are hut 1926 men to 100 women, and IN
the country 1921 men to 100 women
Thus II SEEMS that, contrary to the
usual belief the women flock to the

to Free Stratton.

Harry Dillon, one OF the men who
took part in the Jail delivery, engi-
neered by Clyde Stratton two weeks

was positive of the Identification.
The search for the fugitive has been
carried on in the surrounding coun

moment that Dillon would openly re
turn to the scene of his crimes. A
strict watch is being kept for him. and
there is a strong probability that he
