MISSISSIPPI SECOND
IN NEGRO POPULATION
NATIONAL CAPITAL HAS THE
LARGEST PERCENTAGE
AMONG CITIES.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The bulletin
on negroes in the United States, is
sued by Director Sam l.. Rogers, OF
the bureau of census, department OF
commerce, indicates that there has
been among negroes an increasing
tendency toward home ownership, a
marked increase in the percentage
of school attendance, pronounced
decrease in the percentage of Hitter
acy, a decrease in the mortality rate,
and an increase in the proposition OF
church membership.
The bulletin, which is a special com
pilation of information derived from
the thirteenth census and from other
injuries conducted by the census bu
reau. brings together in one publica
ton all the principal data pertaining
to the negro race, which are in the
possession of the bureau. The work
of planning and arranging the stats
teal tables, as well as all the clerical
work was done by negro employees.
The negro population of the United
States increased from7572 or 49,
per cent of the total population, in
1890, to 1927, 1853, or 10.7 per cent Of
total, in 1910. The increase between
1900 and 1910 was at the rate of H.
per cent, while during the same peri
cd the white population increased by
1928 per cent. Since 1910 there has
been a continuous decrease in the pro
portion which negroes have beer
formed of the total population, due
at least in part, to the fact that the
white population has been continually
augmented by immigration of negroes
during the past hundred years.
The largest negro population in any
state in 1910 was that of Georgia, 1,
176,9S7; Mississippi was second, will
