RKFORM 11 -We gladly give place in our columns to the fol lowing local from last week's Newi and Times : Senator Andrews left here on Mon da}' last for Columbia, where he will remain until the Legislature adjourns, Senator Andrews is a hard working representative, and we hope to record many good things of him during thc present session. POPULATION OF ORANGEBURG COUN TY.-According to the last census tnt population oilOrangeburg County U aa foliow?t' : Whites, 10,555 ; Color ed, 23,515.-Total 31,070. In 1870 according to the census then taken the population was : Whites, 5,709 ; Colored, 11,156. Total 10,865. This gives an apparent increase ol about 111 percent. If these figures are a true index of the increasing prosperity of our euuuiy and this ratio is only continued for a few years, the whole county will become one vast city, in comparison which New York City would pass for a little country town. Dut this enormous increase cannot be accountod for on any other hypothesis than that the census of 1870 is radically wrong, be ing much less than the actual popu lation. Wo have before called atten tion to United States census of 1870 asgivingOrangeburgC.il. a popu lation less tuau 500 inhabitants which was apparent to all as mucli below tho real population. By thc last census we have the credit of have ing a population of about 1,500 which is probably correct. Orangeburg ie a growing county and no doubt pre sents greater encouragement to im migration than any other county in the State but this increase cannot be thus accounted for. ' SCHOOL" COMMISSIONER.
