WALHALLA, S. C. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 24, 1010. READY FOE TAKING OF CENSUS. Supervisor E. II. Aull lins Recom mended Enumerators-Co-operate Col. E. H. Aull, supervisor of tho census for tho Third District of South Carolina, talks of tho census and says that ho has designated to (lie director of census a sulllclont number of men and women to take the census In the Third District, and most of them liavo boon commis sioned and all Ci them will bo ready for the actual work which is to be gin on tho second day of January and to be completed wPlllll four weeks, lie emphasizes the fact thut in order that tho work of the enutnoratois may bo dono well and thoroughly it is very important that they have tho sympathy and co operation of Hie people. It is a big jol), but if done well and thoroughly will bo of great bene fit in showing the resource's of this country as well as tho population. Whatever information is given to the enumerators will be held in confi doneo, and is not. permitted to 1)0 given out by thom. To make the work as easy as possible for enumera tors Ibo people should be ready and willing lo answer all questions promptly. Tho questions aro pro- ! pured by tho government and the j thoroughness and completeness of tho work will dopend almost entirely upon tlie co-operation of the people and the work of tho enumerator, Col. Aull in Iiis statement has the following to say: "Arrangements have hoon about perfect od io begin work of taking I ho 14iii decennial census of thc I'nitod Stales. Director of the Cen sus, Samuel E. Rogers has annoum/ad that everything is now ready to lie gt n work on the second day of .la nun ry. "lt is proposed lo make this the most exhaustive, thorough and com plete census that has evor boon made. There are in the I'nitod States 3 7 2 census supervisors, and there will lie an army of more than 87,000 enu merators, who will work under the direction of those supervisors. It. is ii . tosed thal every person In tho Uni . Slates will he enumerated und tho names, ages, birthplaces and oc cupations of all these will he written down. . The Supervisor of tho Third Con gresslonal ?listriot is No. 307, and I did not get to begin to work on Hie organization of the forces in this district until about the 7th of Octo ber, and at that time had really only about a dozen applications, and in some of tho counties comprising the Third Congressional THstrlct thoro was no application at all. and it was supposed that all applications would be in the hands of the supervisor by the lath of Octobor. I found that one of the troubles was that tho fact that the census was to bo taken in January had not been advortlsod and the people wore not aware of lt. I ! immediately began letting it be known that wo needed enumerators, and made a trip through tho district, nnd by tho courtesy and kindness of the newspapers and the county oftl cors tlie fact became known and ap plications began to como In. As suporvisor, I desire to express my appreciation to these agencies for tho holp and co-operation thoy rendered. I also desire to express my thanks to the postmasters in (lie several counties for their co-operation and for their kindness in conducting tho tost examinations. Up to this time 1 have boon too busy in an effort to secure enumerators to give out any thing In regard to tho coining cou sus. "Hut from tho 20th lo the 26th of November I had certified to the Director of Census, for appointment enumerators in all the counties ex cept one. and recommendations have been made for that one. I fool that 1 have been fortunate in lining able to recommend for lin's very import ant work a sufficient number of men and women whom I feel are thoroughly competent and ofllciont io clo tho work properly. The valuo and correctness and efficiency of the census will depend in very large mensuro upon the efficiency and dili gence of tlie enumerator. I foel that persons recomme"dod to do tho work in this district aro thoroughly com petent and will moasure up in all re spects lo tho requirements necessary for tho making of a thorough and correct census. In order that they may do tholr work thoroughly and proporly, however, it is very impor tant that they have tho sympathy of tho peoplo In the district. "In this work I dosiro that tho people shall understand that what ever information is given to an enu merator is strictly confidential, and If lt ls given out by him or hor a heavy penalty Is attached under tho act of Congross. I am arranging to have*a meeting of all enumerators In each county during tho latter part of this month that wo may bo able to know each other personally and to go over the schedules together and explain and understand thoroughly Just how the work is to be done. A thorough un derstanding of tho schedules and tho information desired will help tho supervisor and tho enumerator and save a lot of work and worry for both. "Tho purpose, howover, in making this stntomont to tho public is to ask in behalf of tho enumerators the hearty and gonorous co-operation and sympathy of the people for tho enumerators in their work. The Third District has been di vided into 169 enumeration districts, ns follows: Abbeville 20, Anderson tr>, Greenwood 26, McCormick 12, Newberry 26, Oconee 21, l'lckens 19. "In sovoral of tho counties, how over, ono enumerator has boon doslg natod for two and In some Instances three enumeration districts. There fore, tho totali number of enumera tors who will work In this Congres sional District is 14C. And for onch of those 1 ask tho generous co-opera tion of all tho people." Tl IE HACKS IN OCONEE, Meetings Hold In This County Tond Toward Harmony. (Greenville Piedmont, 18th.) In evory issue for many weeks of Tho Keowoo Courier of Walhalla a wookly newspaper second to none in South Carolina-there has been a full roport of a mooting of the ne groes, at which woro present white leaders of tho county. The subject under discussion at those meetings has boon co-operation of the races for the welfare of both. Large con gregations of neg/.es have attended, and they have showed such a spirit that The Courier is moved to say: "Within tho last few wooks wo have learned a lot about our colored citi zens and we are proud of tho class of negroes we find here, especially in the country districts. Oconee has, wo believe, tho host negro population In South Carolina-and it is a recog nized fact that the South Carolina negro is tho host in the world." ? At St. Paul's Baptist church, In tho Oak way section, last Sunday there was a great gathering, with many white people present. Hon. E. E. Vernor, in tho course of an address, said: "The white people must base their highest hopes of elevation for Hie colored people upon tho medium of example. We cnn make of the colored race just what we want to make of them by setting Hiern an ex ample of right living and right think ing and right doing." The colored peoplo strongly approved of the counsel given them, one of their pas tors reports. Unquestionably these meetings will result in a bettor understanding between tho races in Oconee nnd will promote their well-being. Both races are showing a proper spirit and a propor d?sir? to maintain condi tions of harmony and good will. Oco noe is setting a capital example for other counties of South Carolina. When there is such a foundation of good feeling, each race, by acquaint ing itself with tho needs of the other, can render it great service _ CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of Mr. Rochester Ronches Washington.
