| though the amount of white blood eX-
ceeds that of the Indian. The con
stant and increasing intermarriage Of
the whites and Indians has given and
now gives rise to an increased number
of persons listed as Indians. The
amount of existing Indian blood, there
fore, may not be increasing. The chill
dren of mixed marriages are more nu-
merous and those of full Indian parent
age less numerous.
The degree Of blood admixture is
significant One hundred fifty thou
sand and fifty-three Indians are Of
unmixed lineage; SS,030 have varying
degrees of white blood; 2,255 negroes
among them have Indian blood, but are
on the Indian rolls; 1898 individuals
are Of white, Indian and negro mix
ture. Other mixtures are reported
80 in number. Twenty-three and
three-fourths per cent are not report
ed. 1t thus appears that only 56.5 per
cent Of the Indian people are of pure
blood
In some states the full bloods pre-.
dominate and in others less than one
individual in ten is a full blood. The
Indian in his purest strain is found
in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona,
New Mexico, Iowa and Mississippi,
where from S5 to 100 per cent of the
Indian population is of pure blood.
Next comes California, Idaho, Wyo-
ming, South Dakota with percentages
varying from 20 to S5.
Tribes in which 55 to 10 per cent
are unmixed live in Washington, Ore
gon. Montana, Nebraska and Louis
lana. The great belt of half bloods
runs from the Montana line on the
west along the Canadian boundary tc
the coast, and includes North Dakota,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New
York and Maine. These states. with
Texas on the south have only from
40 to 55 per cent of full bloods. Only
two states range in the 25 to 40 per
cent column. oddly enough these
are Kansas and Oklahoma. This
means that old Indian territory
with its Five Tribes and other Indian
occupants, and Kansas with its Pot.
and Kickapoos have full
bloods only in proportions Of from rs
to 40 per cent. In Massachusetts,, Ala
bama, South Carolina and Virginia,
full-blood Indians are less than ten per
cent Of the Indian population.
The racial purity of the people |
enumerated as Indians is of pertinent |
interest in the determination of the |
ultimate fate Of the race as an un .
mixed stock. The available number OF .
upon which the figures are .
based is 247,137. or this number $780,
O53 are full bloods, SO, ,423 mixed blOods .
and 1861 with blood status not report
ed. 1t appears from these figures that
the full bloods still constitute the ma
iority, but, as later will appear, the
degree Of fecundity is less in the full
bl0ods and greater in mixed mar
riages. Thus in time Indian blood
will become entirely diffused. 1t will
take centuries and, perhaps, many
Of them before the traces Of American
Indian blood are eliminated. OF the
Indians classed under these figures
125, ,654 are males and 121, ,483 females,
There are 1867 full-blood males and
1886 full-blood females Among the
mixed bloods the males also form the
majority, the figures being 48,157 to
IS ,266 females OF the total mixed
blood Indians 45,384 males are Indian

NEATHER-CROP CONDITIONS
WEEK ENDING SEPT GOTH

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept 2O.-A synopsis
Of weather and crop conditions in Geor-
gia for the week endinf today, has
been issued by the weather bureau
here. 1t follows:
Several showers fell during the
past week, though slightly interfer-
ing with cotton picking, were general
~ beneficial, and softened the soil so
that-fall blowing is making good head
way. The weather was rather cool,
especially in the northern districts,
but vas considerably warmer in the
south Cotton is about all open in the
southern division, but is opening more
slGwg in the north; picking is pro-
crossing rapidly. Gathering corn con-
iinues slowly. Sweet potatoes are
maturing and an excellent yield seems
assured. Late cuttings of hay, espec-
tally peavine hay, are in progress. Fall
gardens have slightly improved, and a
good stand of turnips has been secur-
ed. Apples are rather inferior.

flown eulogies of Candidate Dorsey in
spite of the insistenee of the demands
for Dorsey to declare himself, he
avoided any mention OF the subject un-
til he spoke to an Atlanta audience on
Saturday night Before the primary on
Tuesday, at which time he permitted
himself few words of faint praise of
the president as sort of afterthought
following the close of his address.
And to further complicate Dorseys
situation, it is regarded as certain that
Little Albert Howell, the law part
ner of Dorsey and manager Of his cam
raign, will defy Watson and insist that
the platform adopted in Macon shall
contain strong endorsement Of the
president. 1t is pointed out that How
eli could hardly do less than take this
stand, in view of the fact that his
brother, Clark Howell, is democratic
national committeeman from Georgia,
and in view of the further fact that the
Atlanta Constitution, of which Clark
Howell is editor and Albert Howell is
president, has consistently supporte /
the president
Meanwhile, the Fulton County Will
son club is planning to give lunck-
eon in Atlanta next week, and intends
to invite Hugh Dorsey to be one of the
speakers. The luncheon is to be a
rousing rally for Wilson, and for Mr..
Dorsey to accept the invitation would
commit him to Endorsement of the
president.
Hence it begins to look as If Dorsev
must make his ihoice between Wood
row Wilson and Thomas f. Watson be-
fore the Macon convention assemblies.

ENDORSING WILSON

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 20.--It is cur
rently reported in political circles that
Thomas E. Watson, of Thomson, edi-
tor of THE Jeffersonian," and enemy
OF Woodrow Wilson, has made a de-
mand upon Hugh M. Dorsey, who was

By the convention to be held in Macon
on September 26th, must not contain
Endorsement of President Wilson's ad,
ministration.
This demand confronts the governor
elect with the most embarrassing sit
uatiOn that any man in his position has
been called upon to face in recent
years, for the reason that Mr.. Dorsey
ran as democrat in a democratic pri-
mary, and was given the nomination at
the hands of democratic voters by an
Overwhelming majority.
Now that the primary has been held,
now that Mr.. Dorsey has been nominal
