GOOD FOR TBE SOOTH ?? .'? ?4"'.' t THE RACE PROBLEM BECOM ING LESS OPPRESSIVE The Census Figures Show Camis takably that the Whole South It) Growing Whiter.. . The tear has often been express*.'! ? that the farming ?ecrtlons of the South are coming increasingly in o the control of a negro population. "The white people axe moving *o the townB and leaving the country to colored farmers and tenants," is a cry that has been iheard in some quarters. For these reasons we have .been looking forward with the ^Itjeeneet interest lo the announce ment of the census figures as ;o the relative increase of white and col ored population in the South during the last decade. ' .The first peep ai wfcat these fig ares are going to fc how was f urnish - ed. by Mr. Lewis W. Parker in his commencement address at the South Carolina State University a few days ago. In the course of this address Mr. Parker gave the following fig ures as having been furnished Mr. Theodore H .Price by the Director of the census. These are advance figures, and;while final computation raay change them slightly, they may he accepted as in every respect sub t 8tant:ally and approximately cor rect We quote from Mr. Parker: "Per cent increase in population living in places of over 2,500 inhab itants, and in country districts, re spectively,- from 1890 to 1900, and from 1900 to 1910, in n'.ue cotton States: i PlaceB over 2,500 , in 1890? Increase Increase. 1590 to 1900- 1900 to 1910. White_..27.6 46.6. Negro.23.3 30.5 Country distrkua in 1890? Increase Increase. 1890 to 1900 1900 to 1910. White.18.7 17.3 Negro.17.5 ' 8.3 In commenting on these figures "Mr. Parker said: "It will be noted that the white population in communities of over 2, 500 in population ?ncreased In per centage between 1900 and 19jl0, 46.6 per cent as against 27.6 per cent in {1890 to 1900. Daring such period, the negro population in these com munities increased 3-0.5 per cent, as against an increase of the preceding period of 23.3 per cent. On the other hand, the white population in creased in the country districts, 1900 to 1910, almost identically the per cent as from 1890 to 1900; whereas the negro population shows a much lower percentage of increase, as the increase in the country districts in the later period is only 8.3 per cent, as against 17.5 per cent la the ear lier period." . j In commenting on the above fig ures the Progressive Farmer, of Ra leigh, N. C, says they indicate un mistakably that the whole South is growing whiter. If we recall that the country places in 1890 embraced over 80 per cent of the population of these nine states, and that the small negro rural increase of 8.5 per cent applies to about four times as large a body of population as the negro's larger urban increase of 30.5 per ?cent, another fact becomes apparent: The white population of the whole South is increasing almost exactly twice as fast as the negro population ?probahly more than twice as fast And we are frank to say that we heartily rejoice that this is true. We have no 111 will to the negro. We certainly have no desire to keep him poor. Even from a selfish standpoint we realize that the best Interests of the whole South demand that he be made more intelligent, efficient, and iprosperous. But at best the process will be slow; and the proportion of negroes -to whites in the South has been too I large* even for the negro's own good.' The bes? interest of everybody will he 'helped by a greater relative in crease in the white population. The coming of good settlers from other sections should be encouraged, and the hope should be tha:: the tides tof migration and Immigration will ?ultimately equalize matters until the proportion of negroes in no Southern State will exceed 20 per cent. Then will it be easier to develop thickly settled white communities. Prosperous small white farmers, owning their own homes, and enjoy ing all modern comforts?good roads, good schools, rural telephones, water works, trolley lines, etc., etc., things it is often hard to get where a large part of the population con sists of negro tenants?will develop in the South the most splendid type of modern rural civilifiation, and a kindlier feeling for the negro him self will develop as his influence be comes less oppressive and his num bers better distributed through the whole country. The Soutehrn white farmer has sense enough to see that with intel ligent scientific farming he has far better chances for making money and for enjoying life working as his own boss on his own Und than he would fiiave as somebody's hireling in some city factory or shop. Consequently; he is going to stay on the farm; and for every negro who goes to town we may count on getting in the end some thrifty white settler from some other section. Being very much interested in these figures we sent them to the Director of the Census for confirma tion as to their correctness, and also to ascertain what "nine cotton States" are referred to. From him we learn that the nine States in cluded in this preliminary estimate given Mr. Price were: North Caro line. South Carolina, Georgia, Flor ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee. The ques- j tion of "Saving the Rural South to the White Race" seems to be solv-J ing itself. i .. . u _ 1^. ^ I SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS. Will Meet in Convention at Holly Hill Next Tuesday.

With its usual spirit of enterprise and progresislveness The Times and Democrat has made complete ar-, rangements to issue a "Booster Edi tion" on the same day that the au tomobile booster trip leaves, Orange burg. This will be an elgnt-page paper, and its circulation will be something over 7,000 copies., It will have interesting and instructive ar ticles on Orangeburg, and advertise ments of the local merchants will play a prominent part. The num ber of advertisements are limited and all except Bix or seven have "been engaged. The merchant who has not yet en gaged a space in this special edition, must be quick, for only a few re ?mains. If your competitor's ad is there, yours cannot afford to be miss ing; if he has no ad, yours will be that much more beneficial to you. One advertiser?a man who knows how to advortis??took three spaces. Bear in mind, that no regular adver tising will be carried in this 7,000 ^edition. Only especially contracted booster ads will be taken. The paper will be distributed on the booster trip, will be sent to every one of our three thousand subscri bers, and each of the merchants ad vertising in the'issue will receive 40 copies to be distributed in any way desired; in all over 7,000 copies will be sent out. If you are an advertis er, you most be represented. All persons not subscribers of The Times and Demccrat can get a copy of this special editoin by dropping us a card. 1 THAT BOOSTER TRIP. Plans Bc.'ug Perfected to Give Or angebarg Publicity. An important meeting of the ex ecutive ana publicity committees of the chamber of commerce was held late Monday afternoon at the offices of President John Cart, and much important business concerning the proposed booster trip was transacted. All arrangements were made, except the fixing of the date. The booster trip is being largely talked about in all the adjoining towns, and is going to be a big thing for Orangeburg. The Orangeburg Milit?r}' Band will be carried along with the mer chants, representatives of the Cham bqfr of Commercp, and newspaper men. The itinerary will include all the larger towns of Orangeburg, Cal houn and' Bamfberg counties, /and will embrace three days. The trip will be made in about twenty auto mobiles. A ainique advertising scheme has been arranged. Great interest ds manifested here in the booster trip. The Times and Democrat will issue a seven thousand "Booster Edition" containing the advertisements of most of the prominent business con cerns in the city and distribute them on the route. Advertisements are ?now being received for this edition. Residence Burned. The residence of Dr. D. E. Con nor, of Eowman, was destroyed by fire about 1 A. iM1. Tuesday morning. It was a fine building recently erect ed, and well furnished. The loss was covered in a measure by insurance on building and furniture amoun ting to 31,900. The origin of the fire is unknown; it was first discover ed near the kitchen and dining room. The doctor ihad just recently return ed with his family from an auto trip of some days to points in the upper part of "he State and North Caro BOOST ORANGEB?RG SOME GOOD ADVICE ABOUT TOWN BUILDING. I ? A Campaign Launched to Make Or angebarg a City of 20,000 by 1920. Pull Together. The following article from Mr. At tlcus Marchant, secretary 'of the Chamber of Commerce, and one of the biggest boosters who has yet struck Orangeburg, will be read with much interest, A determined effort to make Orangeburg a city of 20,000 by the next census should be made, and we believe with the do or die spirit it can be done. The chief thing is to make a noise, and keep the city in the limelight of publicity. But it takes money and the business men must aid. The Automobile Booster trip comes off in about two weeks. Don't let it be said that it failed through lack of co-operation. Don't let the towns it visits say it was a poor or secon dary show. iMake it what it should be. Do your part?everybody doing their part and it will be a howling success?something that in later years you will be proud to say that you were in the first booster trip. We suggest for a slogan: "20,000 or bust."' i The letter follows: Editor Times and Democrat: Ear.lv to bed and early to rise, Work like H?1 and advertise. The above is plain and blunt, but when the ideas embodied in that ex pression are put Into actual practice by either an individual, firm or city results are obliged to be produced. "Advertising pays" is a trite expres sion, but tbe fact that it is trite in no wise detracts from the tremen dous forcefulness of tbe statement. It pays the city to advertise just as It brings dollars to the coffers of the merchant and business man. No matter how many resources we may have, no matter how much, we may brag labout these resources among ourselves, and talk to each other about our advantages, we must let the other people know about it and the way to tell them is to advertise. The merchant who does not adver tise must finally go outiof business, or see his business dwindle to insig nificant proportions. You may see examples of this all about you. The same thing is true of a city. Cities are now awaking to this fact, and are doing all the advertising they can through their Boards of Trade. Chambers of Commerce, and Ad Clubs. Nothing in the world has caused Atlanta to jump from the po sition of an insignificant litte town, comparatlvey a short time ago, to the commanding place of Queen City or the entire South, but advertising, plus unswerving loyalty on the part of all its business men. Atlanta has no natural resources of any kind, but it is blessed with a body of busi ness men who talk Atlanta all the time, everywhere they can, and to everybody they can. It is also bless ed with newspapers who preach At lanta day in and day out, 365 days in the year. It is that undying devo tion to Atlanta and Atlanta's inter ests which has made the "Atlanta Spirit" famous all over this country. In. other words nothing has 'built Atlnntja but advertising, backed of course by aard work, as indicated in the text heading of this article. Orartgeburg has ten times the re sources Atlanta had when Atlanta was the size of Orangeburg, and if the business men of Orangeburg would devote to Orangeburg just a portion of their time, money, 2nd work to advertise Orangeburg that Atlanta has dot.a We would be as tounded at the results. I believe in Orangeburg and Orangeburg County With all my heart and I (believe others do. Let all of us begin to tell about it in. an organized systematiz ed manner, that is by Advertisement, through an organized body, which is naturally the Chamber of Commerce. I want to see an "Orangeburg Spirit" developed here whilh will ex cel and desire to excel our other en terprising, cities around us. I want to see sufficient money on hand to properly advertise this splendid "City on the Edlsto" and let the world know what we have. Mllledgeville, Ga., the other nlhgt raised $1,000 in fifteen minutes to advertise their town and assist their Chamber of Commerce in its work. Another $1,000 was raised the next day. tM'Uedgeville is smaller than Orangeburg and not one-telnth as wealthy in resources. It is in a county that has only three banks, while Orangeburg has 21 banks in its borders. During the past three years the little city .of Stamford, Texas, ihas invested $18,000 in its commercial organization. Thorough advertise ment that city has added a million dollars to its tax rolls within the three years, not counting the work of improving highways leading to the town and other pubic improve ments, nor thfl great work of better ing conditions generally in that vi cinity. Orangeburg has been a year trying to raise 51,000. Our business men must wake up to our advantages and let the world know our advantages. I would like to see our population "20.000 in 1920," and we can get it if we will work for it and spend the necesarry money. Suppose we should wake up to morrow morning and find Orange burg a city of 20.000 people, made so over night. What would your business property oq worth per front foot? What would your resi dence property be worth? What would be the value :>f your business? Property now worth $250 per front foot would be worth at lease $1,000 rer front fooc. Other values would be in propcrc'on. Wouldn't that he a condition worth wn'.'c? I believe GIN BRANCH NEWS. Personals and Other Interesting Lo cal Notes of Interest.

VETERANS TO GO TO REUNION. j Members of Camp Thomas J. Glover To Attend in a Body. At a regular quarterly'meeting of Camp Thomas J. Glover, United Con federate Veterans, of this city, held at the Young America hall Friday, 'it was decided that the Orangeburg chapter should attend in a body the State Reunion to be held in Colum bia. A committee, consisting of C. R. Jones, A. D. Fair and F. A. Schiffley, was appointed to make all the necessary arrangements. Memorials were read on the fol lowing deceased veterans: W. F. Stokes, D. R. Joyner and W. A. O' Cain. Two new members E. J. Baxter and Phillip C .Carter, were added to the membership roll. The delegates to the State reunion are J. C. Pike, C. R.

M. Jami son, and Miss Ollie Jones. Tne lunch was furnished by M. A. Arant, George Smoak, J. M. Moss and G. L. Salley. just as firmly as I an living that we could come very near ai.proximating such a resu.t if we could work and advertise end spend the necessary money to fhat end. I; is certain we can not attain, such a result un less we try. How many men will aid in making Orangeburg a city of "20,000 in 1920." The "Orangeburg Spirit" is sim ply latent and needs arousing and once aroused will force results. We must expect some opposition from that class of people who don't know that the war is over, and who want to continue doing business just like folks did thirty years ago, but I be lieve they can also be aroused once we start things going. AVe should have a fund of at least $5,000 per annum to carry on the commercial work of the Chamber of Commerce and advertise this city of ours. Other cities are doing more, with not half our resources and wealth, and we must not allow our selves to lag behind. 500 men in the city and county should be found who wonld be willing to pay $10 a year to carry on this work. Think about this seriously and let's try it. Apply to Orangeburg the motto with which I opened this article. Very respectfully, . f! A. H. Marohant.
