BLACK BELTS ARE
MISUNDERSTANDING
Change Due To Migration And De-
creasing Birth rate.

Atlanta, GsL June 29.-The historic
Southern BLACK. - Belts" are dis
migrating and are destined to pass
in few more generations, according
to census studies made by DR.. I. F.
Woitter, a socioiogist of this city.
In 1880 there w@re 300 counties in
the Sourh in which the Negro pop
ulation outnumbered the white. BY
1910 the number had shrunk to 264
and in 1920 there were only 216. In
1910 fifty-four counties showed q
Negro population of more than three
to one. In. 1920 only thirty-two COM
ties had so high proportion
Migl alton to the North and to
the cities and decreasing birth rate
have caused the change. During the
last decade the cities gained three
quarters of million in Negro popula-
ton and the rural districts lost
quarter of a million The increase in
the whole country was only go 900,
or e--1-2 per cent, as against eleven,
fourteen, seventeen, and twenty-five
per cent respectively in the four de-
cades preceding. Meantime the in
FAINT death rate among the race con-
tinues to be heavy.
The Northern States showed the
largest percentage of gain, Michigan
leading with 251 per cent. Pennsylvania
now has more Negroes than Maryland
or Kentucky and Ohio more than
Oklahoma. North Carolina had a
gain Of 1864 and Texas Of 51,645.
while Virginia, Maryland, Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina and Arkansas
each gained from twenty THOUSAND
to forty thousand. Mississippi 1857,
