Marital Condition.
In the population Is years of age
and over, 34.2 per cent. of the males
are single, and 265 per cent. of the
females. The percentage married is
6O4 for males and 6O.2 for females;
and the percentage widowed, As and
125, respectively. The percentages of
those reported as divorced, O.3 and o..
respectively, are believed to be too
small, because of the probability that
many divorced persons class them
selves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single is so
much smaller for women than for
men is due largely to the fact that
they marry younger. Thus, 1917 per
cent. of the females from Is to
10 years of age are married, as COM
pared with 81 per cent. of the males,
and GIG per cent. of the females from
20 to "a years are married, as COM
pared with 1873 per cent. of the males.
In the next age group, % to "a years,
the difference largely disappears. That
there is a larger proportion of widows
than of widowers may indicate that
men more often remarry than women,
but, since husbands are generally old
er than their wives, the marriage rela-
tionship is more often broken by
death of the husband than by death
of the wife.
For the main elements of the pop
ulation the percentages of married per-
sons among those Is years of age and
over are as follows: Foreign born
whites 5S.7 for males, 63.4 for females;
natives whites of native parentage,
COZ and 61.2, respectively; native
whites of foreign or mixed parentaga,
SOP and 1875; negroes, COS and 59.3.
These percentages by no means in
dictate the relative tendency of the
several classes as regards marriage.
To determine that the comparison
Should be made by age periods, since
the proportion married in any class is
determined largely by the proportion
who have reached the marrying age.
Similarly, the proportion widowed de-
Ponds largely on the proportion past
middle life. The percentage married
is somewhat higher for males, and de-
cidedly higher for females in rural
than in urban communities.
Dwellings and Families.

Color and Nativity.
The white population is divided into
four groups: % Native, native par
entage-that is, having both parents
born in the United States; (2) native,
foreign parentage-haying both par
ents born abroad; 90 native, mixed
parentage-haying one parent native
and the other foreign born; (D for
eign born. AS the second and third
classes do not differ greatly in char
acteristics, they are combined in some
of the tables; in a few cases all three
native white classes are combined.
Of the population of Georgia, l.
431,SO2, or $40 per cent, are whites,
and 1,176,987, or 45,1 per cent, negroes.
The corresponding percentages in
1900 We're; Whites, 53.3; negroes,
46.7. In 40 of the 146 counties ne
groes constitute from % to so per
cent of the population, and in Sc coun-
ties the population is more than 50
per cent negro.
Native whites of native parentage
constitute $3.50 per cent of the total
population of the state, and 972 per
cent of white population. Native
whites of foreign or mixed parentage
constitute only 1 per cent of the total
population, and foreign-born whites
06 per cent. OF the urban populat-
ion, 52.4 per cent are native whites of
native parentage; of the rural popuI4-

Sex.
In the total population of the state
there are 1,3O5,O19 males and 1,304,1O2
females, or 1901 males to 100 females.
In 1900 the ratio was 99.1 to 100 For
the whites there are 1924 males to
100 females, and for the negroes 97.2
For native whites +. ratio is 1919, as
compared with 171.4 for the foreign
