The fignrea relate to the State. Charleston, the other cities of 10,009 and over, and . the counties. The toUl population of the state and of Charleston ia distributed into white, negro and- all other, and the percentage proportion of each Is siren for the censuses of 1919, 1999 and 1990. The decennial percentage of increaae orgdecrease for the same classification for the decade, 1900-1919, also is stated. The figures for the counties ate divided Into white and negro, the latter including Chinese, Japanese and Indians, but the nnmber of such are so email that they do not materially affect the figures given for the negroes. Similar ‘statements for the other Southern States are being prepared amt will probably be issued/n the near future.

The rate ef increase^ as fig ured by the census department, indicates that the State has gained more whites than aegroei, the percent age being 31.1 for the whites and 4,8 for the negroes.

Charleston gained 8,026 people daring the decade. The gain in white popalation was 3,533. This shows that 600 negroes really moved away from Charleston, and no more negroes came in. This leaves a dear white gain of of 1,139, which is about 19 per eent of the.-whlte population. Negrges atill outnumber the whites la Charleston, the figures being 31,069 against 37,794.

E. Tillman to hia home recently has no political significance whatever was the declaration of Mr. John G. Rich ards Monday afternoon. Mr. Rich ards also says that conclusions which have been drawn from the supposed visit of Sen. Tillman and Chief Jus tice Ira B. Jones to his home‘at the same time, to the effect that Mr. Jones would have the political .sup port of SeuatOr Tillman and Mr. Richards, should he make the race for Governor next year, are entirely erroneous. This statement was called forth by an editorial Hi the Sulhter Item which has hen Copied in various State pa- pers^ This comments a* v follows: ‘We have been wandering ■ what would be the political outcome of Senator Tillman's and Chief Jus tice Jone’s visit to Mr. John G. Rich ards of Liberty Hill, and while we have not yet found the answer the following editorial In the Lancaster News is somewhat illuminating.” The editorial in the Lancaster pa per referred to Is merely a comment upon the current reports that Chief Justice Jones would enter the race for Governor next year. After quoting this the Sumter paper continues as follows: ‘iJf Chief Justice Jones should enter the race for Governor against Governor Blease and It he has the aasuranee of the support of uator Tillman, 'Mr. Richards, and their friends, Cole Blease, will not serve two terms as Governor all pre cedents to the contrary notwith standing.” "I have read comment In the col umns of the News and Courier,” j said Mr. Richards, "this statement | from the Sumter paper of a visit of Chief Justice Jones and Senator Till man to W house surprised me very much. Senator Tillman and I, as is well known, have been warm perso nal friends for a number of years. His visit to me had no political signif icance whatever. Chief Justice Jones did not visit my home while Senator Tillman was there, and therefore I do not see how the Sumter paper drew or came to its chncluslons, which were entirely erroneous.” GOOD HOADS TRAIN. Comenced Work |in This State On / 1/ftNt Monday. The good roads train operated by the Southern railway with the co-op eration" of the United States Govern- mentr entered-South Carolina Monday and reached Gaffney at 2 o’clock. The train is as complete as it could possi- bly be, and much was accompliehed. The crowd was large. E. D. Baker of the American Highway Improving association silted that he audience at Gaffney was larger and more en thusiastic than any he had seen since he joined the train. The Cherokee County Road Im provement association was organized by Mr. Baker, and officers were elect ed. The train was met by M. W. Twitchell, State entomologist. 1 KILLED FROM AMBUSH.
