THREE-FOURTHS POPULATION OF
STATE NATIVES OF MARYLAND
sal PER CENT. Is WHITE, REPORT
OF CENSUS SHOWS-EFFECT ON
STATE GOVERNMENT.

More than three-fourths of the peo-
pie of Maryland, 76.4 per cent, to be
exact. are natives of the State. Only
SIS percent. are foreign-born. This
was revealed yesterday by the United
States Department of Commerce as
the result OF the Fourteenth Decen-
nial Census, taken as of January !,
1920.
These facts should have profound
effect upon the government of the
State according to Alfred S. Niles,
president of the Voters League of
Maryland.
The report of the Bureau of Census
shows that of the total population of
l ,449, ,661 in the State at the time of
the census. 1,204,737 or S3.1 per cent.
were white. OF the white population
76.6 per cent, was born within the
State and sos per cent. Of the negro
! population was born in Maryland.
OF the American-born population,
JOY ,290 were born in Maryland, g.
9S4 in Virginia, 49, ,S44 in Pennsylvania,
1858 in West Virginia, 1855 in the
District of Columbia and 49, ,432 in New
York.
The figures show, however, that the
percentage of those born within Mary
land is somewhat less than 10 years
previously, but it shows a slightly Tess
percentage of foreign-born. Altogeth-
er, there were but 103 10 foreign born
persons in the State when the census
was taken.

I'VE are going down the valley"
I'VE are going down the valley, one
by one,
With our faces toward the setting OF
the sun;
Down the valley where the mournful
cypress grows ..- ...
Where the stream of death in silence
onward flows
Thus sang q tluartet of young men
at the [. B. Church, Dayton, Va.
seven years ago. 1t was the occasion
of a young mans funeral. a student
of the Shenandoah Collegiate Insti-
tute. who met his death in a myster-
iouS way, while riding his bicycle
from Bridgewater to Dayton. No one
on earth. it seems, knew the exact
cause of his death, which seemed to
add to the sufferings of his dear ones
Every day, yes, every hour, and
every minute. someone is Going down
the valley"
We do not mediate or consider as
we should, until our own dear fam
lilies are affected. We are too much
engrossed in the cares and pleasures
of this life to pray, or even think SER
iously as We should. Jesus said, be-
fore He left this earth, Il go to pre-

Anderson, S. c., Feb. 10.-After
what is thought to be the shortest
murder trial on record in South Caro-
lima Courts, Barney Ramey, 16 years
old, was acquitted. The trial of the case
lasted % minutes, including the draw
ing of the jury. The trial was also uni
que in the fact that the States only
witness was the mother of the defen-
dant. The only witness for the defense
WAS the boy himself.
Young Ramey shot and killed j.
Tom Havs, a member OF Il party of
five men that came to his fathers home
last July and attacked his father, Tom
Ramey. The father died from bullet
wounds after being dubbed by men,
bers of the party.
