THE NEW CtNbUS 2SOW IT AFFECTS THE COUNTIES DT THE LEGISLATURE. Home Counties Gain One Member and Other Counties Lose One . Member Under It. The census report in reference to .South Carolina was made public on ^flueed?y. '? As will be seen by the report which is published on the first jage of this paper, the State has made some gains since 1900, but whether we have gained enough to Siva .us one additional congressman depends altogether on what sort of am apportionment is made by Con gress when it comes to consider the matter. At all events we will hold our own. By the figures in the report pub lished on the first page it will be no ticed that Orangeburg county has now a population of 55,893, against 59.653 in 1900, being a loss of 3,770. This is a splendid showing, when fbe fact is considered that at least 14.000 of the 16,634 people that con stitute the population of Calhoun -county was contributed by Orange *arg. This less was made up in part by the accession to Orangeburg of a goodly part of Berkeley county. Ac ? cording to the census Berkeley lost -about 7,000 people to Orangeburg ^county. Had Calhoun county not been cut off, and the addition from Berkeley county made, Orangebur? county's ^aln would have been the largest of any county in the State, and would have given her about three addition al reore;?nt3tives in the legislature, Instead of one. We are satisfied, io^ever, as the matter stands. When Calhoun was cut off. Orangeburg vs 'eft with about 45.000 people. Exclusive of the people that came Irom Berkeley to loin her, Orange burg gained in the last ten yearB about 4.000 people. Under the new apportionment that will be made in the legislature by virtue of the census renort Ander -tson, Dillon, Greenvil'e." Orangeburg, Richland and Spartanburg counties will each gain a member, while Aik ?n. Beaufort. Berkeley, Charleston, ?Chester and Fairfield counties will ?ach lose a member. This puts Or angeburg county in alignment with the most progressive and wide-awake counties In the State, and shows that she is keeping up with the procession or progress and enterprise. We publ'sh-on the first page a statement of the new apportionment that will be made by the Legislature in accordance with the census Ag ares, which was carefully prepared "by Senator Lide, and which shows the losses and gains in the counties ..named. All the other counties will ?;ip;?reniwitt as at present so far as their '-'-"'representatives in,the Legislature are concerned. As we said above, Orr -ahgeburg county has made good pro gress in the last ten years, and she aas every reason to be satisfied. Funny State of Aairs. A poor fellow, W. C. R. Gunning, ? an alleged lunatic, is confined in the local jail here. He was brought to . -this city from Elloree, in this coun ty, and adjudged insane. The State asylum authorities refused to re ceive him because he is an English subject. The English ambassador at Washington has been notified of Running's situation but no reply has Wen received. The man held a po sition In a bank in' Ireland. He drifted away and when committed as a lunatic he was employed as a la borer on a farm near Elloree. Tf neither the State or England will rare for the unfortunate man, what is to be done with him? Orange burg county has no accommodation for lunatics, and it is not human to keep a man in Gunning's condition in jail. Happily Married, Mr. Joseph B. Smoak, Jr., of this city, and Miss Harriet Josephine Shuler, were married Wednesday af ternoon at the residence of Mrs. Har riet Lee, grandmother of the bride. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Geo. E. Davis, Pastor of the Baptist Church in this city, in the presence of a large number of the relatives anl Intimate friends of f'ue contracting parties. The popularity ?of the young couple was attested by the large number of handsome pres ? ?uts they received. The marriigt, . -took place at five o'clock and at six o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Smoak left on the Southern for a trip to Florid-i. The young couple start life with th'j . best wishes of a host of friends. A Dastardly Outrage. A few days ago a strange negro man entered the homo of a colorei family on Oak street and attacked a young woman, who was sick in bed, .and who had been left alone only a few minutes. Screams of his Intend ed victim caused the scoundrel to beat a 'hasty retreat. He was a very black negro, and a stringer in these parts. It is a pity that the scoundrel em't be caught and punished as he richl3" deserves. Farmers Union Meeting.

This excellent musical comedy is billed at the local playhouse on Mon day night. An evening of hilarity and mirth is promised all who are on hand. The scene is laid on the Island of Dreams, where everyone looks beautiful, and here come a little American girl to meet her sweetheart, Carl, an American en sign. He is accompanied by a party of friends. The island is governed by Pin Tu, who seems to have been born without a heart; and Ban Ko, his chief adviser, persuades the American girl to flirt with Pin Tu and awaken the power of love, for it is a decree of the lanl that unles3 the ruler marries he is to be sacri ficed to the "God of Love." The complications ere the story is un wound offer many opportunities lor effective comedy and contrasting sen timent and both principlas and cho rus contribute wise y and cleverly. Enjoyable Party.

One thing is certain, which is '.hat when spring begins to dawn ev eiybody Is agreed that the winter was long enough and cold enough. Entertainment at Pine Hill.
