Things mighty dull in the poolroom
business right now. He's thinking of
trying a drug store if he can find:
anybody to back him. He worked
in one once. Notice they never go'
broke?" !
SUDIE: "Yes, them's all right,'
but so was barbering till the women |
quit bobbing their gourds. Now it
takes a jane to fix their hair, and
that has cut John's business down
considerable. Let's go: Two or three
more stores to shop up before I go
home."

Whites Gain In
Census Showing
i
Atlanta, Ga., April 16.?During the 1
last thirty years .South Carolina's
white population has increased thirty
times as much as its Negro population,
according to an analysis of the'
census reports made .by the Commission
on Interracial Cooperation.
From '567,867 in 1600 the. (white
population of the state increased to
.the 1630 total of 944,040, a gain of
386,233 or 69.4 per cent. Meantime
the Negro population showed a net
increase of only 11,360 from 782,321
in 1600 to 793,681 in 1930, or M per
cent.
The smaller net ^ain has beer due
both to a higher mortality rate and
to the .migration of Negroes to other
sections of the country-? In vthe. la^t
J decade the migration appears to have
?MM????
been especially heavy, since there was!
an actual decrease of 71,038 in the)
state's Negro population between
1020 and 1030. Taking into account
the normal excess of births over
deaths, this net loss would indicate
that over 100,000 Neg*roes left the
state within the decade.
In consequence, the proportion of
Negroes in the total population has
decreased thirteen per cent in the
thirty years, from 58.4 per cent in
1000 to 45.6 per cent in $930. On
the basis of this decided trend it is
believed that the race problem in"
South Carolina may be expected to
show steady improvement, since the
relative proportion of the racial
groups involved is always an important
factor in such problems.
On April 16 the United States
treasury will sell $27i5,000,000 of

Buffalo Gnats Cause
Death to Live Stock
Oar<kRdale, Miss., April 10.?A baffling
infestation of Buffalo jovats in
lowlands fringing the Mississippi river
in Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana
today had brought a scourge of
death to live stock in the area.
More than 1,000 head, principally
mules, were reported dead in the area,
either bitten to death or victims of
?i mwhAntral pnpum/mifl, itl rWrfui hy
inhaling the swarming pests.
Experts from the live etook sanitary
boards of the states affected,
admittedly at a loss to explain the
mass appearance of the pests, were
at work in the section attempting to
check the swarms. ,
