WASHINGTON AFTER
A CENSUS RECOUNT
NOT A VACANT HOUSE THOUGH
1850 NEW ONES HAVE BEEN
BUILT IN LAST 10 YEARS.
Loss OF as IN POPULATION
Large Increase In Acreage Planted to
Tobacco In Beaufort County and
Prospects Fine for Big Break

Washington, ~ C.-Washington Is
taking steps to have recount taksn
on her population. In view of the
fact that there has been an increase
OF over 300 in the school attendance
during the last decade and an increase
of almost 400 in the number OF col
ored children who are now attending
school, 1t is considered that the re-
port OF the census bureau, to the Of.
feet that Washington has lost As peo-
le in the last ten years is ridiculous.
One hundred and fifty new homes
have been built during the last few
years, and there isn't an empty house
to be had in the city. Every board
ing house is also crowded to its capa-
city limit.
With the opening OF the Washing
ton tobacco market at hand. indca-
tons are that the local market will
see the biggest break Of its history
when the auctioneers begin to move
down the asles OF the five local ware
houses, followed by a large corps Of
buyers.
Beaufort county this year has an
estimated increase Of 20 per cent in
acreage. Last year, in spite OF the
fact that one of the main roads to the
city was closed during the entire sea-
son, the Washington market sold over
six million pounds Of the weed. This
year, with two hard-surfaced roads
leading to the city, 1t is estimated
hat at least ten million pounds will
,e sold.
