C Stat e's Attorney Defends South Againxst Peonage Charge.-Scores ' Federal Lawyers. Washington, Oct. 20.-Defending the South from the charge of hav~ig etaoin etaoin etaoin etaoin etaoinnn reduced its great mass of laboring S men to a condition but one step from n peonage. Attorney General Garber o! c Alabama today in the supreme court of the United States made a spirited c attack upon the department of jus- 5 tice of the federal government. The attorney general was defondine? ~ the constitutionality of the i :tb)or contract law" of Alabama. The question of the validity of the law had arisen in an appeal of Alonzo Palley. a negro, from his conviction under that law of a misdemanor. He was charged with making a service contract with inte-nt to defraud his employers. receiving advance money, and then breaking the contract. The department of justice had been per mitted to file a brief and participate in the argument of the case as "friend of the court." Mr. Garber expressed surprise that the "darts from the quiver of Att,r ney Gene;al Wickcrsham and Assist ant Attorney Gnral Harr should have been drawn from without the case, raiher than from facts within it." He asked what relevancy to the case at bar a report taken from tha files of the department of justice on alleged practic-s in the State of Louis iana has to this case from Alabama. "it appears to us to be an inaxcus able abuse of the privilege afforded the government by this court," said he. Assistant Attorney General Harr in reply expressed a willingness to have the case tried on the facts in the rec ord and then proceeded to make an argument to show that Bailey had been denied his rights under the 14th amendment to the federal constitu tion. Assistant Attorney General Martin of Alabama also participated in the argument. POPULATION OF COLUMBIA. Census Bureau Report Shows 26,319 People Within Limits-Suburbs Not Included. The State. Columbia-1910, 26.319. Columbia-1900. 21,10S. Increase-5,21I. This brief announcement made by the United States census bureau in Washington yesterday tells the story of the growth of the capital city of South Carolina during the past ten years and shows that there has been an increase of 24.7 per cent., and at the same time does the territory an injustice. The figures as announced by the census bureau are for the city of Co lumbia proper and do not include the suburbs of Shandon, Waverley, Hyatt Park, College Place, North Columbia, Colonial Heights and New Brookland. The census report for the suburbs will be announced later. The city directory for Columbia, in cluding the suburbs. gave the popul.a tion as 45,507, divided a.s follows: White, 28,791; negro, 16,716. The percentagle *of increase, 24.7 per cent., compares favorably'with all of the cities that reports have been mnade on so far, and is nearly 20 per cent, greater than Charleston. There was a greater increase in Population between 1890 andI 1900 than during the past decade. The in crease for the former period being~ 37.5J per cent, Comparative Figures. Washington, D. C., Oct. 20.--The population of Columbia, according to the census of 1910 is 26,319, an in ercease of 5.211 over that shown in 1900, which was 2l,108. The per cent. af increase was 24.7, as compared with an increase of 37.5 per cent. from 1890 to 1900. It wil surprise all Colum bians, no doubt, to learn that the city rew more rapidly between 1890 and 1900 than between 1900 and 1910. The ncrease in population in the former lecade was 5,755 as against 5,211 in :he latter period. It will be seen that c'hile the per cent. of increase was >ne-third greater in 1890-1900 the ac .ual gain in population was only' tbout 500 greater. While every one knows that the ac ual population of Columbia is much ~reater than 26,319, yet the geometri al line which is fixed by the city's barter stands between Columbia and ts full credit in the matter of popu ation. Waverley. Sha$don, Brook-I a~nd and one or two other suburbs hould be included in any population gures of the city. but the census bu eau has not yet compiled the figures f these smaller places and they can ot be given. Charleston's Growth. Charleston's growth in the past ten ears has been 3,026, makin gthat ity's present population 58,833, as, gainst 55.807 in 1900, and 54,955 in S90. The increase in that city from 890 to 1900 was 85~2, or 1.6 per cent., 'hile its increase from 1900 to 1910 'as 5.4 per cent. T. H.
