Negroes Northward Bound
Census Shows Facts

Washington. Dec. - CA. PlThe--
center ot negro population in TIE
United States has been determined
by the Census Bureau as is miles
north northeast Of Rising FaWn, in
Dade County, Georgia. For the first
time in history this center has NOV
ed to the northeast, its former move
ments having been il a sUuthWeSterly
direction.
The movement of The center OF
negro population is "n accurate index
of the direction of negro migration
says the bureau. In 1890 it was
located % miles wast~coutnWest Of
Petersburg, Va. In 1880 it was 10
Gated l0.4 miles east Of Lafayette
GeCI gia. From 1850 TO 1890 the
sOuthWeSterly movement was con-
tinued and it advanced 20.1 miles 70
point 1913 miles southwest Of
Lafayette. and about miles east of
the Alabama line. In 100 years 1t
had moved southwest 463 miles, an
average of 46 miles each decade.
From 1890 to 1900 its movement was
greatly retarded. and it advanced
only 81 miles, across the Alabama
Georgia state line to 10.7 miles north
east of Fort Payne, Alabama about
miles west of the Georgia line. In
1910 it was located ga miles north
northeast of Fort Payne, its move
ment for the decade being miles
west southwest. Its movement south
was evidently greatly retarded by the
migration Of negroes to the northern
and eastern states. In 1920 it moved
back across the state line into
Georgia and was located Is miles
north northeast of Rising Fawn.
Dade county, Georgia, having moved
2l.6 miles.
"The present northeasterly move
ment was due principally to the
great increase in the negro pOpula-
ton of Massachusetts. Connecticut,
New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
West Vii ginia, Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan. The total increase in the
negro population of the United States
was 635, 56S, and the increase in the
northern states noted was Sc per-
cent of the total increase. This
hegira north of the negro popula-
ton was due mainly to the eXpan-
sion of certain industries during the
World War, the high wages paid
being the great attraction. 1t is
probably true that this movement
has been continued. due to the re-
duction Of the cotton crop and the
demand for common labor at higher
wages in the north"

1900 Witness Exercises
Market Square has perhaps never
contained such crowd Of happy
children as gathered there Saturday
evening long before the time sched-
uled for Santa Claus to arrive. At
$50 the crowd of youngsters and
their elders overlooked out onto Wat
er street between the Augusta Trust
Co. building and the Opera House,
and the granite steps on the north
side of the latter building were early
seized as a vantage point from which
to watch the proceedings. Clear
back to the railroad tracks the jam
of humanity extended. and when
Santa arrived in his automobile
there was tumult of happy cheers.
In their childish eagerness 1t was
some few minutes before the two
lines could be formed to give out the
tickets and the boxes of candy and
were efficient and soon had things
organized. Over 400 boys were given
tickets for the skis and about 375
little girls all fervently hoped that
their ticket would be. the winner for
the big doll. Secretary Folsom, who
was in charge of the arrangements
for the Community Christmas tree.
which was under the auspices of the
Retail Merchants Bureau, announced
yesterday that some 1910 boxes of
candy and pop corn were dispensed.
Music by Salvation Army Band
One of the most pleasurable feat
ures of the exercises was the music
which was provided by the Lawrence
family of the Augusta Salvation
Army Corps. Ensign Lawrence and
his fine band was on hand and play
ed several enjoyable selections to en-
terrain the crowd assembled before
Santa's arrival and also during the
giving sout of the candy boxes. Be
cause there was no snow for sleigh
ing. Santa could not come with his
reindeer this year. and made his trip
to this city by the modern method
of automobile transportation.
Tree a Thing of Beauty
The 40-foot Community Christmas
tree was lighted up in its full splen-
dor Saturday evening. and with the
great sea Of eager faces turned to-
ward it's brilliance. Market Square
presented a picture which was liv-
ing. throbbing, animated exposition
of Yuletide cheer and Christmas
spirit. The wonderful tree will re-
main in its position until several days
after Christmas, and will be illum-
mated again this evening and on
Christmas night for the pleasure OF
all citizens and visitors in Augusta,

EXPECT LAST DAYS
CHRISTMAS BUYING
TO EQUhL SATURDAY

The crest of the Christmas SHOP
ping wave in this city was reached
Saturday afternoon and evening,
with great crowds of people throng
ing the Augusta shops and stores,
where a wonderful selection of
Christmas things had been stocked
many months ago in prepare ton for
this event. The mild temperature
and open conditions Of Saturday
brought the motorists out in full
force and with many people coming
by automobile from the surrounding
country to shop here. the traffic on
Water street was seemingly as dense
as at the busiest time in mid sum-
mer.
For the most part Augusta mer-
chants report an exceptionally good
holiday trade this year. and in spite
of the fact that industrial conditions
have been slowed down considerably
in this city for several weeks, the
iewelry stores report that business in
that line is equal to or better than
on previous years, and that too in
what is generally considered to be
the most expensive class of goods.
Manager Kenworthy of the WOOL
worth store reported Saturday eve
ming that the local store has turned
over about 100 gross, or $4,000 Of the
little glass composition baubles used
for trimming Christmas trees.
which would indicate that trees will
be lavishly decorated and enjoyed in
many of the homes in this vicinity
tomorrow. Anothe' item which in a
way is indicative of the tremendous
volume of holiday trade in one class
of goods is the report from one of
the mems clothing and furnishing
stores that they have used 80 dozen
of the holly boxes for neckties and
handkerchiefs.
Today is the last opportunity for
the belated shopper to secure his
Christmas presents, and it is expect
ed that the volume of trade will
closely approach that of Saturday.
After all the agitation for early
Christmas shopping, practically 10
percent of the holiday buying is done
the last three days before Christmas.
Perhaps this is partly due to the fact
that many people depend upon their
Christmas club checks for the finan-
cling of their annual sally into the
shops, and as these are returned to
the depositors only a week before
Christmas. wild orgy of shopping
in the final days is the result.

HER CHRISTMAS Wish CAME TRUE WHEN
SANTA CLAUS PRESENTED BIG DOLL TO
ISABEL DUTL AT COMMUNITY TREE

There were three little Augusta
youngsters whose faith and belief
in Santa Claus and his goodness is
more firm than ever before as a re-
suit of their attending the commu-
nifty Christmas tree exercises at
Market Square, Saturday evening.
These three youngsters are the
lucky ones whose tickets were drawn
for the big doll, the sled. and the
pair of skis and to whom the pre-
sentation was made by Santa Claus,
while over a thousand other chill
dren and half as many adults cheer
ed the awards.
Little Isabel Dutil, whose home is
on Northern avenue, and who is only
five years old, has been coming down
town with her older sister since the
shop windows have been decorated
and trimmed with Christmas goods.
And on several occasions little Isa-
bel has stopped in front of the win
dow of the Daylight Store to see the
pretty things on display. and when
the big doll was placed in the win
dow, Isabel, just fiattened her tiny
nose against the plateglass and
looked longingly at the wonderful
creature, and sighed her wish that
it might be hers. On Saturday even
ing her big sister took Isabel by the
hand and brought her down Water
street to Market Square to witness
the arrival of Santa Claus, and when
the colored tickets were given out
to the little girls and boys, Isabel
secured one and clutched it tightly
in her hand. little realizing that it
was to be the magic sesame to the
realization of her fondest Christmas
wish.
When the numbers were drawn
from the big box full of the cards
for the beautiful doll. it was the
number which correspondent to the
one on the ticket held by Isabel that
was announced. When the little tot
went up to receive the dollie from
the genial Santa Claus. her throat
was just so all chokedtup that she
could hardly murmer her grateful
thank you.' and as she walked back
through the crowd with the wonder
full big doll clutched close to her
breast, there was suspicion of
happy tears f1uttering on her little
silken lashes. The doll was most
Sorgeously costumed and wore a
little knitted jacket and bonnet for
her trip to the Capital City with
Santa.
Little Chap Wins Skis
Five year old Vincent Ledew Of
2S4 Water street was just as pleased
when his number was drawn for the
shiny new 6 1-2 foot skis. though
because he was a representative of
the supposedly stronger sex, he did
not deign to be quite so demon
strative Of his JOY. In the case of
both of these awards. it was believed
that Santa had been guided by some
fairy goddess. as the little boy and
girl might not otherwise have re-
ceived such wonderful presents this
Christmas.
