RESULTS OF CENSUS. '1 Increase in Population is Likely to I Give South Carolina Another < Congressman. Washington, Dec. 11.-That the s population of the city .of Spartain barg will be shown by the census of 1910 to have doubled since 1900, and that the population. of the county will be shown to have increased by fifty per cent., is the opinion ex pressed by a South Carolinian who -has been in Washington the past few days. "The cotton mills have added greatly to the population of thei county, outside of the city," he con tinued. "The growth of the city has been simply the result of the growth of the county, which is already one of the richest in the section. There have been no mills erected within the eity limits since 1900, but outside of Spartanburg there have been sever al large mills added to the already long list of those situated in Spar tanburg county, including Woodruff, Drayton, Arcadia, Inman, Appalachia and others. Besides, the farming population has increased perceptibly, so that while the mills may h'ave ta ken some people from the farms, yet *,ere has been a substantial in trease of the farming population which almost equals in proportion the rapid growth of the towns in the *ounty. Several of the cotton mills have doubled their capacity since! 1900. "Greenville will probably show a3most as great an increase as Spar tanburg, both in city and in county. In fact, the whole Piedmont section *f the State has made such indus ial progress and has so increased in wealth and population that most of' :s are going to be surprised at the fgures of the census reports. Other portions of the State have also grown rapidly, but my opinion is Aat the Piedmont section is far in Ahe lead, and that Spartanburg coun ty is in the lead in the Piedmont seetion." Much Interest in Census. There is much interest all over ike country in the figures to be made .y the census office as soon as they *an be ta,bulated after the enumera tion work is completed next sum mer. Ambitious towns are anxious ste know just what they have accom plished in the way of growth, as in dieated by population, since 1900. There are few tow'ns or communities in the United States in which there is not more or less of friendly rival vy in this respect, and the outcome of the work of the census enumerators is looked upon as the only reliable1 'test of actual growth of a communi ty. Of course, each town has its po lice censu.s, or eensuxs taken in con mection with the compiling of its di rectory, and that sort of thing, but These figures are not accepted as strictly reliable anywhere ontside of that particular town, while those of the United States census officials are taken everywhere as reliable. Every town is proud of a favorable showing ia the census figures, and every town that has not a favorable showing is more or less humiliated,' *Though it is likely to claim that it makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity, and all that sort of thing. I The census of 1900 showed a pop ulation in Spartanburg of 11,395. A j population of 23,000 shown in 1910: will justify the prediction of the forecaster above quoted, so far as. the city of Spartanburg is concerned. The population of the county in 1900, was in round numbers, 65,000.: If the census of 1910 shows 100,000, 'the prediction above quoted will be~ ~justified to the effect that the coun ty will be shown to have increased in population by fifty per cent. May Alter Congressional Districts. :Another interesting possibility in connection with the approaching een~ sus is that the Congressional dis *ricts of the State may be altered. It will be remembered that a "Re- I districting Act'' was passed by the State Legislature shortly after the eensus of 1900, dividing the Con gressional districts so as to change, their respective territory to a con-* eiderable extent. Prior to that Act the distriets had been so arranged as to have a number of the counties split up, part of them being in one Congressional district, and part in another. The 4th district, for in stance, was composed of "the coun ties of Greenville, Laurens and Fair field; all of the county of Spartan burg except the townships of White Plains and Limestone Springs; all *f the county of Unign except the sownships of Gowdeysville and Draytonvill e, and of the townships of t.ntre. Columbia and Upper of the 1 cospLy of Richand.'' The Redis-1 vr;itug Act of 1902 abdished1 thej eustonf of spi ting up counties, so 6.ha now there is not a county in I *he State ditTerent portions of which are represented by different mem- I aer of Congress. The Act was pass d under the apportionmeut made y Congress, based on the census of .900. Before that time; Qhe populastion if the state was so scattered and sep rated that it was necessary to "ger ,ymander" the State into "shoe ;tring''districts in order to secure ,ha proper amount of population tbout 190,000-in each district. In .900, however, the population had so nereased that it was not necessary ;o split up counties in order to se STATE OF SOUTH GAROLINA, County of Newberry.
