A study in the proportion of sexes
in the United 8tates was published by
the bureau of the census Tuesday as
bulletin 14: t
The discussion and analysis appear
ing in Bulletin 14 were written by
Prof. W. F. Wlllcox, of Cornell uni
versity, the tables themselves, de
rived from the main population re
ports of the twelfth census, were pre
pared also under Prof. Wllloox’s su-
' pervUlon.
Some of the conclusions reached are
of scientific and practical importance,
and may thus be summarized: The
whole population of continental Unit
ed States was first counted with dls
ttnotion of sex In 1820. During the
seventy years from 1830 to 1900 the
absolute excess of males was greater
at each census than at any preceding
census with one exception, that of
1870, .when the excess of males was
leas lean In 1850 and i860.
This reduction of the excess of
males between I860 and 1870 by about
£00,000 was doubtless due .to the
deaths in the Civil war and the di
mlnished immigration during the de
eade.-
The greatest relative excess of
males was in 1890, when in each 10,
000 people there were 242 more male*
than females.
By 1900 this excess had decreased
to 216 in 10,000, less than the rela
live excess in 1890 and 1860, but
‘ greater than that at each other
census.
In continental United States there
are 1,638 321 more males than fe
males or about two in each 100 peop
Probably in the population of the
world as a whole, and certainly in
that half of it wh'cb has been counts
with distinction of sex, there are sev
eral millions more males than females
In continental United States, how
ever, the relative excess of males la
greater than the avAfage-for all ooun
tries.
Xirope has an excess of females
every other continent, so far as
known, has an exocss of males.
The divisions of continental United
States with the Mnallest proportion
of males are the District of Colombia
(47 4 per cenO Massachusetts (48
per cent), and Rhode Island (49 1 per
neut); those with the largest are Wyo
mlug (62 9 per cent.) and Mon-
Una (61.6 per cent.)
As a rule sparsely settled regions
have an excess of males and densely
settled regions an excess of females.
Between 1890 and 1900 the diverg
ence among the several states In this
respeot decreased and the proportion
of males and of females in different
sections became more nearly equal.
In 1880 about one-fourth and in
1900 less than one sixth of the Ameri
can counties bad an excess of females.
in the total population of the
United States, there are two periods
«H*frat which the reported number
of females la greater. One, extending
from about 83 yean of age to tbe end
of life, ia probably due mainly to tbe
longer average life of woman; the
other, from 16 to 25, la probably ap
parent rather than real, sod due
mainly to the greater number of wo
men who claim; erroneously, Jp belong
to this age period. ' ^
Among tbe negroes there are e few
more females than males; among the
Indians, a few more males than fe
males. Tbe marked excess of males
among whites and Mongolians is
doubtless due to thnlQfluenoe of im
migration. T~- ~-- r " “
The death rate of males in the reg
istration eras of the United States in
1900 was 19.0 per 1,000, and that of
females 16 6 per 1,000, tbe former
having a leath rate higher by about
one-seventh than tbe later. In the 346
regtstrstic □ cities tbe death rate of
males wa> 20.0 and that of females
17.2 per 1,000, the male rate exceed
ing tbe femalt by one-sixth. In the
rest of the registration erea the male
death rate was 15 8 and that of fe-
maler 15 0 per 1,000, the male rate
exceeding tbe femile by une nine
teenth.
Tbe difference in the death rate of
the sexes is apparently least between
tbe ages of 6 to 14 and greatest at the
youngest and oldest ages.
Life tables for Massachutts, Eng
land, Prussia, and Norway confirm
these conclusions and make them pre
else. They Indicate that male children tAi n date, the question is asked
American cities as a rule have more
fmalea. Id the 1,861 cities, each
having in 1900 at least 2 600 inhabi
tants, there were 201,959 more fe
malee than males, and this notwith
standing the many Western cities
which had more ma ns than female tbe
enormous number of foreign born In
tbe Country, five-ninths of them male
and a large proportion of them living
In (he cities.
This tendency of American cities
to develop a population having a ma
Jorlty of females bad increased since
1890 when, In the 1,490 cities, each
having at least 2,500 Inhabitants,
there were 6.929 more males than
females.
While the excess of 6,929 males In
American cltlis in 1890 became an
excess of 210,959 females in American
cities In 1900,.the excess of 1,519,559
males In country districts in 1890 be
came an excess of 1,840,280 males in
1900.
Or, expressing the facts In ratios,
of each 1,000 inhabitants of such
cities in 1890, 600 were males and In
1900,1497 were males; of each 1,000
Inhabitants living outaide these cities
in 1890, 519 were males, and In 1900,
520 were males. Tbe difference-thus
In tbe number of males or of females
between an average thousand of city
and of country population In 1890
was 19 and In 1900, 23.
This conclusion is not materially
modified when a more accurate meth
od Is employed and a comparison
made between tbe figures In 1890 and
1900 for the same list of cities, name
ly, all.which had at least 2,500 Inhab
itants at each date.
A marked Increasing dissociation of
the sexes between city and country
like that in the United States bas
been noted also In the leading coun
tries of western Europe.
On the other hand, there is a large
excess of males in the principal cities
of Rumia and Indlz, and in Hongkong
and Manila.
This exoe« of females in the cities
Of western Europe and eastern United
States is probably due mainly to the
greater opportunity for women to find
employment in those cities and / to
their migration cityward In conse
quence.
~ Bat even smong ohlldren under five
years of age, a alight dlffarenoe ap
pear* between cities having at least
25,000 inhabitants and tbe rest of the
country, in such cities there are 503
to eeoh 1,000 children; outside
506 males to each
support, bat do not
, that the proportion

under three years of age have uni
ftrmly a higher death rate than fe
male children.
There Is a period between 5 and 21
years of age in which the death rate
of females is slightly higher than that
of males. According to tbe Messachut-
etts life talle this period covers sev
rnteen years. 5 to 21; according to the
Norwegian life (Able, eleven years, 5
to 15; according to tbe Prustlan life
table, ulne years, 8 to 16, and accord
log to Eaglish life table, eight years,
14 to 2h
According to all the life tablss tbe
death rate of women between 2o and
30 years of age, at which ages proba
bly four-fifths of the child births/ oc
our, was less than that of miles.

T. E. Massengale, a prominent
Georgia farmer, writes as follows to
tbe Augusta Chronicle from his home
at Norwood, Ga., on the cotton situa
tion:
Editor Augusta Chronicle:
Falaus In uno-falaua In omnibus, la
a trite maxim, aa old as the granite
hills, and that being true, Mr. Secre
tary Wilson having eckpowledged his
error to the acreage planted previous
ly given out, It stands in reaedn that
be could have made a moat alarming
error in tbe estimation of tbe cotton
:rop. That an error in the glnners
report bas been made is no longer In
doubt, it matters not who mule It,
"the department of commerce and
labor known as the bureau of tbe
census, ” or Secretary Wllson’a report
(as some claim the latter of Mr. Mlx-
soh is somewhat mixed up between
the two. That an error has been and
could have been made, one can readily
perceive from the following: In giv
ing the ginning by months to a oer-
Qfve Him a Chance,
conviction of Prloleau on
The conviction of Prloleau on the
charge of tampering with tbe United
States mails will temporarily remove
from our mldat a standing. Republican
candidate for congress. It Is to be
that Prloleau wHl secure a sus-
order that his
seat of Congressman
Lagan may be presented to congress
and the contest allowance collected.
Her should not bo jliacrlmioated
"How much have you ginned to a cer
tain dite In the moatb?” A number
of gli oers have Included the whole
amou t ginned, from the first com
menc< ment of tbe season. The wrl
ter sa v error of eleven hundred and
twent / bales, made by one of our two
glnne s here, which, however, was
corrfc wed as soon as attention was
called to same; but, how many couk
have .cen and were forwarded wrong?
I have no Idea that tbe amount
claimed ginned was really ginned, and
yet the amount being published, no
doubt Influenced tbe secretary of
agriculture to make his enormous
guess, as it came out sometime before
the agricultural bureau's aerial gues
and there is no question about Mr
Mixon receiving the ginnery blanks
from tbe source be claims, as Is evl
danced by the same being In the
bands of the Chronicle.
This crop is tbe earliest crop on
record, as to growth, opening aoc
the cotton on account of improver
ginning devices, the quickest ginned
axei knuwo, and tbe being a truism—
and prices good—the earliest market
ed. It was much earlier than tbe
largest crop ever grown of 1890 419,
when , the crop was 11,235,483 hales,
and yet that year’s crop the amount
of 5,634,381 bales over one half of that
bumper crop was in sight on Decern
her 1, and that being a fact, then It
stands to reason that over one half of
tbe crop was in sight by December 1
his year. So I have figured from
that standpoint, and cannot figure
over eleven and a quarter million
bales. For tbe sake or argument let’s
take the crop of last year, and take
the amount In sight up to December
9, which was 5,7u5,450 bales. There
was at that time 56 per oent of the
crop in, 44 per cent remaining, the
crop being 10,216,000, left only 4.510,
550 bales to come, to make the
amount. We will now take present
crop and follow the same ratio. Oj
December 9, in sight 6,640,605, 56
per cent would indicate a crop of
eleven and three quarter million
bale i, but take off 60,000 bales, as
that much came ia per week, and the
crop was seven days anyway, earlier
than last year, and we have a crop of
ten and three quarter million bales
for this year. Throwing in then a
half million bales to our secretary, to
help him along, and we cannot get
over eleven and a quarter million, and
like Peter, the apoetle, who said:
"Upon this rock I build my house,
and the gates of hell shall not pre
vail against it,’’ and upon.tbis estl
mate I stake my reputation, and shall
not give up until the last bale is
counted, September, 1905. "
There Isa growing tendency among
the people that tbe government Is
"agir ’em,” and they will no longer
furnish evidence to inji.re themselves.
None of the cereals, nor even tobacco,
are given the attention by the govern
ment that cotton reoeivee, and from
the cradle to the grave the balance
of the world makes v&s upon the
most useful articles In creatiou. When
still, the speculators are bombarding
and beating down the pricos. So vir
tually cotton Is hounded down from
the time a furrow Is made until It’s
out of the hands of tillers of tbe soil.
Admitting that Secretary Wilson Is In
the muiu correct, which In the main
1 do n )t, over three fourths of a mil
lion bales of cotton will remain In tbe
hands of farmers able to hold, until
xt crop and would not enter
te crop of 1904 and 1906; so It
bi the same as If the cotton
ot made. And cotton should
down, but remain at 10 cants,
or ab >ve, as the world needs every
bale o^ cotton raised. England and
the balance of Europe have been de
vising means In all their possessions
to successfully cultivate cotton, say
ing that the south'oould not raise
euougb. Now when its reported on
doubtful authority that the crop is
12,000,000 bales they stand aghast,
and say you have overdone the thing.
WhaUa the <iee of destroying the boll
weevil if we can make more than tbe
world’s needs, with him to depredate?
If we destroy him what will become
of us? In the long run he may prove
our best friend. I look for an ad
vance after the holidays. ^

At a meeting Wednesday night of
the Southern Cotton Growers’ Protec

presided over by President Harris

olution was unanimously) adopted: £
"Tbe Southern Oottnn Growers*
Protective Association recognizes that
the South faces a monetary crisis, due
to tbe recent depression In tbe prioe
of ber greet money staple crop cot
ton.”
QTbs resolution speaks of tbe bear
ish speculative Influences and con
tinues:
"We know that at tbe pre-ent
prices of manufactured cotton goods
and tbe splendid trade condition
throughout the olvil zod world, that
the mills can absorb the entire output
of tbe present crop at 10 cents per
pound, paid to the producers. We,
therefore earnestly call upon the hold

sumd firmly together and demand a
minimum price of 10 cents per pound
for the remainder of tbe cotton crop
in their possession. We earnestly in
voke the aid of tbe bankers, mer

throughout the south la successfully
resisting tbe present crisis which
confronts southern agriculture and
commercial industries, and we wish to
emphasize our high appreciation of
the voluntary proposition of southern
bankers to finance the present situa
tion.
"We urge the farmers of tbe south
to organlei as speedily as possible in

conveniently located city in the cot

interests of the produesrs with refer

"We urge curtailment in produo

congratulate the producers of tbe
south in the firm and loya 1 stand they

their financial ability to hold their

at Washington.
YERY LARGE REWARD.

for tbe arrest of. J. H. Adams, Col

x>me time ago while under death sen
tence and is still believed to be in the
vicinity. This action was taken by tt e
governor Weduesdiy after information
had been received in hts tffi.e that

Hanged Either.W*y.
A white man was arraigned before
colored justice of tbe peace during
reconstruction times for killing a man
and stealing a mule. It was in Ar
ranges, near the T?xas border, and
^oere was some rivilry between the
s Ate, but the colored justice tried al-
way to preserve and Impartial frame
of mind.
‘W’segot two kinds og blof In dls

Arkansas law. Which will you hab?"
The prisoner thought a minute and
then guessed he would take the Ar-

"Den I discharge you fo* stealln’

"Hold on a minute, judge,” said
the prisoner. "Better make that

E, E. Mangum, a prominent citizen
of Megee. was shot and killed by Prof.
J. K. Woodward principal of the high
school Thursday. A son of -Mangum
was whipped by Woodward and rife-
sequently Mangum mat and knocked
Woodward down, j*.,:
mable and popu ar citizen, and his
brutal murder naturally caused great
excitement, and there was talk of
lynching, but, Judge Hammond, of
Augusta being notified of tbe fact,
hastened at mica to Thomson, where
the two negroes were confined. As
scon as he arrived In tbe town he ad-
dressed the large crowd of people as
sembled, promising them that the law
should be administered at the earliest
possible time. Th; law-abiding citi
zens of MoDuffie accepted his asur-
ances and having pledged themselves
to uphold the majesty of tbe statutes
of the State, dispersed, to reassemble
Tuetriay morning following to be pres
ent at the special session of tbe Su
perior Court that Judge Hammond
bad called for that date. Tuesday tbe
trial took place and tbe men convict
ed, without reooenmendatk n, were
sentenced to be hanged December
27th, tbe minimum twenty day, set
by law, being the brief remnant allow;
ed them. We agree with the Augusta
Chronicle that "the prompt *pd
thoughtful action of Judge Henry C.
Hammond and Solicitor Joseph Rey
nolds in hastening to Thomkm to
prevent tbe good name of the oom-
moo o wealth being stained by
another lynching, and that of
the people of McDuffie county
In dispersing and returning to
their homes when thus assured of tbe
sure and speedy administration of Jus
tice upon the two criminals, John
Butler and Guy &eid, was not only
admirable, but should be dlimminated
broadly on account of tbe effect It
should have as an examsle. ” J ustloe,
swift aqd sure, is in this caw, wilt
soon abolish the lynching habit, ex
