figures are, therefore, subject to pbeslble revision, but it is believod that the chaoses, if any, will not be ma

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.

f^hat the recent vlalt of Senator B.
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.
