Less Crime in Georgia
This Year Than in ",
Prison Statistics Show

There was considerably less crime
in Georgia during 1923 than in the
preceding year, judging by the rec
ord of the commitment of felons to
the Georgia state penitentiary. The
commitments totaled $50 this year,
compared to 1,244 during 1922.
Compilation of statistics for the
annual report of the Georgia prison
commission has not been completed,
but the population of the peniten-
tiary will be materially reduced at
the close of the year, in the opinion
of Captain G.. IL. Yancey, secretary
of the commission. Dismissals have
increased, under the indeterminate
sentence law, and there have been
a great many releases on pardons
and paroles. Last year the total mum.
Der of releases. was 1856.
There were 1854 convicts in Gus
tody of the commission on December
81, 1922. This was the greatest num-
Der in the history of the prison. The
lowest mark in the past ten years
was reached on December 81, 1918,
when there were only 2,S3S prison
ers. The prison population increased
112 in 1919, 126 in 1920, All in 1921,
and 107 in 1922. Although the re-
leases apparently exceeded the com
mitments in 1922. escapes were in
Guided in the total releases, and 202
of the escaped men were reca ptured
and recommitted.

POPULATION
CENTERS At RISING
FAW|N, SAYS REPORT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29,-The cen
ter of negro population in the United
States has been determined by the
census bureau as 1.8 miles northeast
of Rising Fawn, in Dade county, Ga.
For the first time in history this cen
ter has moved to the northeast, its
former movements having been in a
southwesterly direction.
1.-The movement of the center of
negro population is an accurate in
dex of the direction of negro migra-
tion," says the bureau. ''In 1890 it
was located % miles west-southwest
of Petersburg, Va. In 1880 it was To-
Gated 1G.4 miles east Of Lafayette,
Ga From 1880 to 1890 the south
westerly movement was continued
and it advanced POI miles to a point
1915 miles southwest of Lafayette,
and about 4 miles east of the Ala
bama line. In 100 years it had NOV
ed southwest 463 miles, an average of
As miles each decade. From 1890
to 1900 it's movement was greatly re-
tarded, and it advanced only 81
railes, across the Alabama Georgia
state line to 10.7 miles northeast of
Fort Payne, Alabama about miles
west of the Georgia line. In 1910 it
was located "a miles north-northeast
of Fort Payne, its movement for the
decade being miles west-south-
west. It's movement south was evil
IDENTIFY greatly retarded by the migra-
ton of negroes to the northern and
eastern states. In 1920 it moved
back across the state line into Geor-
gia and was located 1.8 miles north
northeast of Rising Fawn, Dade
county, Georgia, having moved PIG
miles.
''The present northeasterly move
ment was due principally to the great
increase in the negro population of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan. The total increase in the
negro population of the United States
was 6S5,368, and the increase in the
northern states noted was IS per cent
OF the total increase. This hegira
north of the negro population was
due mainly to the expansion of GER
tain industries during the World war,
the high wages paid being the great
attraction. It is probably true that
this movement has been continued,
due to the reduction of the cotton
crop and the demand for common Ia
Dor at higher wages in the NORTH

weeks, the thirteenth month to be
inserted between June and July and
to be known as "Sol." In leap years
"leap day." instead Of falling at the
end of February, would be inserted
at the end of the new month, and
there also would be an extra holiday

any particular day of the week.
Sunday always would be the first
day Of the month.
Easter also would be set at a par
manent time instead of being gov.

endar. Tentatively April s, the mid
die point between the earliest and
latest Easter under the present sys-
tenn. has been selected as the per-
manent date.
The Gregorian calendar, with its
months of uneven length, is incon
venient to present-day business and
domestic life, MI. CotsWorth de-
clared. While salaries, rents, ac-
counts and budgets in many cases
are on a monthly basis, the discrep-
