Big POLITICAL

Mr., Wall spoke in the morning and
Mr. Dickson IN the afternoon. Soon
after the morning address, while the
large gathering was preparing to en-
joy the sumptuous dinner served,
heavy rain fell, lasting for about two
hours. However, this did not inter-

room, all staying to hear Mr.. Dickson
DR.. r. A. Segrest acted as master
of ceremonies, thou-h he delegated
to Mr.. T. J. Lawrence, lately can

done to mar the pleasure Of the day,
which was an exceedingly pleasant
one, regardless Of the inclement
weather at a most critical time of the
exercises.

DECREASES 56l
new CENSUS GIVES TOWN 1861
Like All Southern Towns, Port Gibson
Suffers Decrease in Population Be
cause of Exodus of Negroes.

The advance census returns, just
make public, give Port Gibson a pop
ulation of only 1891, as compared
with 2252 in 1910, decrease Of 561.
There has been an exodus of ne
groes for several years past, and a
decrease, incident to this, was expect
ed, but the falling off was consider
ably greater than was really expected
In all probability, there are as many
or more whites here than there were
ten years ago, as evidenced by the
fact that all residences are filled and
a few new ones were built during that
period.
Almost all towns in the state have
shown a decrease, some more propor-
tionately, than Port Gibson.
Reports of other towns in this
neighborhood, made public this week,
show similar decrease to that of this
place. Hazlehurst is given as having
a population of 1862: Crystal Springs
1895; and Wesson 1856.
