1913 PER CENT CAIN

SHOWN IN DECADE
Bureau Gives Detailed Conn.,
parison With 191O-More
Southern County Figures
Announced at Washington

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Geor-
gia's 1920 population, with the ex-
ception of one enumerating district
not returned by the supervisor, is
2,S93,601, the census bureau an
nounced today. Ten yers ago the
population was 2,6O9,121. The rate
of growth for the ten years was
1913 per cent, about per cent less
than the increase Of ten years 20.
In numbers, Georgia's population
increase WIS 2S4,4S0, the smallest
numerical increase since the decade
ending with 1879, but more than two
thirds as large as the increase ten
years ago.
Georgia had population of $780,
121 in 1910, ranking it as the tenth
most populous state in the union.
1t showed an increase of 392,7S0, or
III per cent, for the ten years end.
ing with 1910. The numerical in
crease was the largest in it's history
prior to the present census. Geor-
gia's largest relative increase was
97.1 per cent in the decade 1790-1SO0.
When the first federal census was
taken in 1890 Georgia had a popula-
ton of S2,54S and it ranked then an
the seventeenth among the states and
territories.
In area Georgia ranked as TWEEN
tieth among the states in 1910 with
a land area of 5S,725' square miles,
making it's population average 44.4
per square mile, compared with an
average of 800 per square mile for
the country as whole.
Georgia was one of the thirteen
original colonies, adopted it's state
constitution in 1777 and ratified the
federal constitution in 1888. During
the first sixty years from the first
census in 1880 to 1850, the rate of
increase in Georgia's population was
much higher than in the following
sixty years, ending with 1910. During
the first sixty years, the rate of in
crease did not fall below 81 per cent
in any decade, and the population at
the end of the period was nearly
eleven times as large as at the be-
ginning. During the second sixty
years the rates of increase ranged
from IL per cent to 30.2 per cent and
the population in 1910 was somewhat
less than three times that of 1850.
Comparison of the rates of increase
for the state with those for the Unit
ed States shows that during each
decade from 1890 to 1910 the rate Of
increase for the state was higher
than that for the United States. From
1910 to 1910 the rate for the state
was lower than for the country as .
whole, except in the decade 5000,
when the states rate was slightly
higher.
The population of Georgia in 1910
was little more than 81 IL times
as large as in 1890, when the first
census was taken, while the popula-
ton of the United States in 1910 was
% times that of 1890.

The following editorial reference
to the senatorial campaign in the

Mr. Watson's frank recitation of
how he adjourned the state conven-

Palmer delegate, in order to prevent
the Endorsement of the Wilson ad-
ministration, at the solicitation of
Senator Smith, is an accurate state
ment of the facts respecting the oc-
currence.

DR.. o. B. Bush, of Pelham, legisla-
tive representative from Mitchell
county, in a letter to The Journal,
announces his purpose to support
Senator Hoke Smith for reelection.
Representative Bush was among
those who attended the conference of
Governor Dorsey's friends at the eX-
ecutive mansion on Saturday, which
resulted in the governors entrance
into the senatorial race.
Although he has never before sup
ported or voted for Senator Smith,
in any of his political races, DR..
Bush declares that he believes it the
duty of Democrats to lay aside past
political prejudices and unite on
Senator Smith as a means of insur-
ing the certain defeat of Thomas e.
Watson.
Representative Bush denies the as
sertion of the Atlanta Constitution
that the mansion conference was
unanimous, and declares that TWEEN
ty-five of Governor Dorsey's friends
voted against his candidacy for the
senate, and number frankly stated
that he could not carry their coun-
ties.
The race, as DR.. Bush sees it, is
squarely between Senator Smith and
Mr.. Watson, and the votes that are
cast for Governor Dorsey will, he
says, simply help Mr.. Watson.
DR.. Bush's card follows.
