POPULATION TOTAL
GIVEN FOR COUNTRY
Census Bureau Announces 105,983,108?Outlying
Precincts Yet
To Report.
Washington, Oct. 7.?The 1920
population of continental United
States was announced today by the
census bureau as 105,983,108. This
was an increase of 13,710,842, or
14.9 per cent. Since 1910. Today's
- total does not Include the populations
of outlaying possessions which
Will be announced as soon as the
figures for Alaska and the military
and naval services abroad are tabulated.
It is estimated, however, that
those possessions have 12*250,000 inhabitants,
so that the total number
of people living under the American
flag is in rpund numbers 118,000,000.
.The figures for continental United
States compare with 9,1.972,266 ten
years ago and 75,994i575 20 years
ago. The increase for the last ten
decades, however, fell 2,266,848 or
6.1 per cent, below that of the pre
ceding decade. "? . i
Director Rogers of the census by-1
reau, in. a formal statement, attribut- J
I ed this reduction to the almost com-|
plete stoppage of immigration during
the world war, -an increase in emigration
during the same period,
deaths in the influenza epidemic of
1917-18 and war casualties.
The statement neted that the trend
of population from the country to
the city had been greatly accentual
ed since 1910. , For the first time
% . in the corintry's history, it is said
more than half the entire population
v waJr now living in urban territory.
Preliminary tabulations, Mr. Kog-1
ers said, showed that 54,816,209 ori
5I.d per cent, of the people were!
living in incorporated places of 2,500
inhabitants or rpore and, 50,966,899
or 48.1 pfcr cent, in rural territory.
This situation was clearly reflected
in the figures as to farms in the
country which also w$re;niade public
today. THese plated the total of
ftiems at 6,459,998, an increase of j
only 98,496 or 1,5 per cent, in ten
. > years as against at increase of 624,13d
Or i 0.9 jper cerit." during the de

4 Revised figures for(a number of
cities arid counties are yei to be announced,
but th? main work of the
' 1920 Census is completed after nine
month* of labor. ? I
; '.'the census bureau to date has
s?eftt 40 weeks in supervising the
enumeration and tabulation of the
e<mutr3rs millions. A similar period
elapsed before the country's population
was made public in 1910. This
year, lio^ver, all minor civil divisions
and incorporated places of
eaeh state have been made public
with the announcement of-the United
total, while in 1910 the census
(bureau's objective was to arrive at
the total as soon as possible, leaving
fiVe states and their, county civil divisions
to be announced later. The
Work of the 13th census did not begin
until April-5 and ended December
10, 1$10.
On January 1, this year, 85,000
enumerators began counting the
men, Women and children of the
country and collecting certain information
concerning the nation's resources.
Under the direction of Sam
LV Rogers, chief of the census bui
reau, enumerators collected data on
I farms, manufactures, forest and oil
I production, and it is this work which

TOWN KILLING.
Development Being Delayed by Pei
sons Speculating in Vacant Town
Lots.
It has been remarked before tha
Newberry needs houses. There ar
numerous vacant building: lots i
town, but no vacant houses. Som
people who might build houses hav
found, moreover, that they could nc
buy lots at reasonable prices. Th
owners of lots, therefore, by refus

IHg l?V IWWAAVt) v* -r? A tremendous
profit, are discouragin

A town facing a situation like thi
is offering no inducement to ne"w
comers. Laborers and students, a
well as .business and profession?
men are kept away because of th
housing situation. The writer sa^
one town decline and die because th
vacant lots were held at prices s
high that no one would build. A
area of vacant property is not
