Your tyNeeds Your
Assistance In Census

An appeal for better cooperation
on the part of the public in the mat
ter of the taking of the present CEN
sus was made yesterday by 7. NJ.
Furlow, supervisor for the Third
Congressional District. According to
Mr.. Furlow the enumerators are not
meeting with the proper assistance
from the people, especially in the city
of Americus, and as result, it was
indicated there is danger of Ameri-
Gus going into the u. S. census rec
ords for the next ten years as a city
of considerably smaller population
than it really has. Inasmuch as these
records are official and used for ref
erence all over the world, the effect
on business and standing of the city
in the commercial world might easi-
ly be serious.
'The people in many instances do
not seem to take any interest in the
census, and many of them do net
seem to have any knowledge what
ever of it," said Mr.. Furlow "They
do not seem to realize that this is the
regular count of population taken all
over the nation every ten years, for
the purpose of reaching figures on
population of communities for use
during the next ten years.
Many sNegroes Gone.
sit is not breaking any govern
ment confidence to say that the
! enumerators have found a number of
negro houses vacant that have here
tofore been occupied, and others with
only one of two old colored people
in them who gave the information
that the younger ones had all left.
We have some good enumerators,
and others are not as competent as
we have been glad to have had. They
may have missed some of the inhabi-
tants of the city in their rounds, and
we want to call on the people to as
sist in rectifying any oversights. Sew
eral of the enumerators within the
city have completed their districts
others will finish Tuesday night. If
by that time there are any citizens
whose homes have been missed, or
who have reason to believe it posi-
bic that they have been missed, or
any persons without families or
homes who have not been counted, it
will be doing the city a service if
they would telephone or write either
to myself, T. M. Furlow, census su-
pervisor, Americus, to the Chamber
OF Commerce, or to the Times-Re-
ccrder, following which the names
will be turned over to the enumer-
ators for verifcation and checking.
In this way we can come more nearly
getting a complete and fun count
than without this aid"
Plan Independent Court.
In connection with Mr. Furlow' S
statement was the announcement of
Secretary Perkins, of the ChaJlber
OF Commerce, that the chamber di-
rectors had sponsored an indepen-
dent census, to be taken probably
Friday of this week, if enough vol
unteers can be secured, to check
against the census records and as
sist in securing a complete count.
Superintendent Mathis has offered
the services for one day of 100 school
pupils of competent age to assist in
the census drive, and the chamber
desires 200 more volunteers for that
occasion, to make it short and in
tensive affair. All who will serve are
asked to notify the Chaw,t>ar of Com.
merce.
