Sinoo thoro havo boon no movements of immigrants into this Stato it was not to be expeetod that the population would inoroato vory largely. There havo boon, of oourso, nuuibcr3 of pooplo who havo oomo to South Car olina within tho last 10 years, but the great forward atridos of our State havo not as yot boon such as to attract outsiders. The development has been largoly domestio. Tho moro notioeablo changes in population havo ovidently boon duo to tho advancement of oertain towns owing to tho increase in manu faoturing industries. From this oauso it will bo shown, when tho figures aro made publio, that tho drift of population has been from tho oountry to tho towns. As yot tho oensus department nas not mauo pUDlio statiHtioi bearing upon this point, but thoro oan bo little doubt that tho cat-e in as statod. Comparing tho tables abovo wo aro enabled ?to arrivo at tho following ro ults, showing tho aotual, inereaso by oountios and tho rolativo gain in population. Per Counties. Inereaso. Cent.

That this oouoty should gain 28,103 while tho oity of Charleston ban gained only 852 in tho satuo timo would do rather remarkable, but it must bo be remembered that since tho last oen bus there was a rearrangement of tho boundaries between Charleston and Berkeley oountios by whioh a section originally belonging to Charleston, but before 1893 annexed to Ucrkoloy, was retransferred to Charleston. This boolion embraocs the town of Mt. Ploasant with a strip along tho coast including St. Andrews township and also the soa islands. Just how many people wero added to Charleston county by this hange it is not potsiblo to determine, but it was probably in tho neighbor hood of 15,000 or 20,000. Still this aooeunts for but little moro than half of the inorease, 29,000, and it is therefore proper to infer that there has been a xery large aotual inoreaso among the negri> population, whioh constitutes the bulk of the oltisenship of this coast and island seotion. It will bo seen that the oouoty of B< rkoloy has lost in round numbers 25,000 Biooe tho last census. Part of this loss is already aoeounted for in the gain of Charleston, bit it if also to be remembered M that tho now county of I>orohostC7 took aslico from Berkeley as it did from Colleton. Colloton county is another whioh shows a dooroaso iu populationduo to tho formation of Oorohostor. In thonamo way Abbevillo, Barnwell and Kdgofiold liavo now fewr pcoplo than ID years ago. From Abbevillo tho county of (Jroonwood was largoly niado up, Bamberg was subtracted from Barnwell while Kagcflold was sliced oil for both Saluda and Uroonwood. Thoso counties aro tho only ones which show an actual loss, but among those which havo in reality lost inhabitants by reason of tho formation of now counties aro Spartanburg, Union, and York, caoh of whioh gavo territory to Cherokoo. On account of tbo oroation of the new oounties it is in many oases impossible to make an aoourato Htatoment of tho gains of certain old oounties, but eliminating this consideration it will bo instructive to noto just what ohangos liavo taken plaoo. From tho tablo of percentages it will bo Rcen that, disregarding Charleston, tho largest aotual and rrlativo gain is made by tho county of Anderson, tho pop I ulation of whioh has inoroascd 12,0112 or 27 5 per cent. Always a progressive and substantial county, Anderson's growth at this timo is easily traocablo 10 tho development of tho cotton mill industry. Within tho town itself thovc arc thrco ootton mills all built, wo boliovo, in tho past ton years, while tho county contains tho large mill town of Polzer with perhaps 7,000 people, and thoro is also a now mill at Helton. Next to Anderson in rcl&tivo gain onm?s lliohUnd with an inoroajo of 8 7(58 or 23 85 por oent. Practically, wo might say actually, tho total gain of Kiohland is in the citv of Columbia and its suburbs; In 1800 Columbia township had 18,4157 inhabitants, and allowing seventh eighths of Richland's inoreaso to this city and suburbs tho prosout population will not bo ranch loss than 28 000 Tho population of tho city itself will probably bo 23 000, Tho o&ukoh of Columbia's growth aro too familiar to need repetition at this time. Wo bclicvo that when tho sta tiatieH aro set n it will bo proved that Columbia has made a larger gain aotually and relatively than any other town in the State. Following Hiohland is her neighbor, li' X'ngton, which lias gained f> 083, or 22 0 per cent. The population of lit x ington in IS',10 was 22.181. Lexington is a very largo county, with its resources nsyci praotioally undeveloped, and whilo there has been an unusual amount of railroad building within its borders in tho past 18 months, it is somewhat surprising to learn that this county has inado suoh largo rains, though it is nono tho less gratifying. Aiken is next in order with an in orcasoof 7,210, or 22 (> por cent. This is also surprising although tliero bavo been not a few signs of advanooiucnt in Aikon. Horry and Clarendon tie with a gain of 21 3 por oont?another surprise. These two counties have uiado sooio enocuraging agricultural advances hut it was not thought they wouli show suoh largo gains, which aro presumably duo rather to natural increase in population. Oeonoo is olo?o to these two oountios with a gain of 21.11 per oont. Ooooeo has not boon making largo boasts, but there havo been soverul cotton mills erected in that county which havo perhaps drawn from North Carolina a cousidtr bio number of pooplo Orangeburg shows, next to Anderson, the largest actual inorcaso, ix*opt Charleston. Tho porcentairo of O.angcburg's in orcaso is 20 78. This is ono of tho best agricultural counties in tho State, in which tho negro population is not inconsidcrablo. (Jrecnvillo's inorcaso ranks next to O.angohurg in perccntigo and follows Spartauburg in actual gain. This oounty has boon among 1 tie lead crs in tho cotton mill development, to which this inorcaso of population is no doubt largely duo. Spartanburg has an actual inorcaso of 10,175. or 18 nor oent., making ii next to Charleston tho most populous county in tho State, Hero again it is a oaso of cotton mills. In aotual inoreaso. thcroforo, the first fivo oounties ranks: Anderson, Orangeburg, Spartanburg, Greenville and Kionland. In relativo increase they rank: Anderson, Richland, Lexington, Aiken, Horry and Clarendon. Altogether, tho percentages of inoreaso show that tho gain in tho upoountry has not boon as largo as was expected in comparison with the lowcountry. In tho lower scot ion of tho Siato, whero there is a largo negro population, tho inorcasos aro suoh as to justify tho expootation that tho figuros will show that tho negro raoo is increasing more rapidly than tho whito raoo, whilo in tho up country tho iuoroaso in population iH duo in a largo mcasuro to tho development of manufacturing industrios. Rut until the ooinploto statistics are obtainable thero can bo only suppositious in respect to this question. It will bo rocn that no oounty except thofo whioh havo given up territory to tho new counties has suffered a loss in population. Tho smallest gain is uiado by Union, from whioh territory was taken in tho formation of Chorokoo. Faitfiold uiakos actually tho smallest increase, amounting to not quito 3 per ocnts ; but the avorAgo of all is just about the percentage of gain shown by the figures lor tho wholo State, that is, 10 pcroont. Through the kindnnHanf Mr TCrnit II Dominick of Nowbcrry wo havo tho tablo below, wioh will show tho ohangcs brought about in tho apportionment of representatives in tholowor house of tho lcgislatura. According to tho oonsititutiou, tho houso of rcprosmtativoa consists of 124 members, apportioned among tho ditioiont oountics ao cording to population, and "if thoro bo still a <1- fioienoy in tho number of representatives required by scotion third of this artiolo such deficiency shall bo supplied by assigning representatives to thoso oouniut* having tho largest surplus fractions." Under tho prosont apportionment in a total population of 1,11)1149 thoro is ono roprosontativo for every 9,299 citizens. According to this year's census in a total population of 1 340,310 thoro will bo ono member for every 10,809 oitizons. Taking tho population of each oounty as tho dividend and 10,809 as tho divisor, tho quotient will roproscnt tho numbor of mombors to whioh tho oounty is entitled, tho remainders indicating to whioh oountits tho extra representatives are allotted. It will bo scon that Aikon, Greenwood, Lexington and Spartan ) i burg will eaoh Rain ono member, and Beaufort, Borkolcy. Cha>lotton and hi Igcfiold will loan ono. Greenwood is (ho only now county to iuoreaso its representation. Charleston loses, sinoo under tho present apportionment sho has had more representatives than actually entitled to ovon under tho ocns'is of 1890. In viewing tho futures it will bo interesting to noto that the flvo now oounties now contain a population of 102,258. From comparisons easy to mako it will bo scon that tho fivo oounties whioh gavo up considerable torritory to farm new oountios havo sustained an aggro gato loss of 78,159. Tho other oounties takon altogother show a gain of 165,008, making tho total gain of tho Stato 189,167?as tho oensus oflioo atinounocd Homo tirno ago.

A STIUNGE TALE. Lost for Thirty Years But Found at Last. HAPPY FAMILY REUNtON A Georgia Stcry That Reads Like Fiction, But Which Is Said To Be the Truth. A special dispatch from Uainsville, Ga., totlio Atlanta Journal relates tho tollowiog rctnarkablo story. Tho dis paton is as loitows: Mr. .1 iin Nunn tells a rather strango story this wock?ono seomingly impossible in this enlightened ago of railroads, telegraph, splondid mail faoili ties and newspapers, but ono truo ncvor thcloss. It runs this way: In tho year 18(50 Mr Nunu's father, tho lato Soaborn .1, Nunn, moved to Atlanta from (llarko county. His health wns poor, and after remaining thcro for a few months ho vlooidcd to try Oaiosvillo in tho hope of getting well. Accordingly ho oaino hero and after a fow weeks wroto hack to his son, Mr. Jim Nuqd, to bring tho family horo, as ho had been benefited and had decided to mako this plaoo his homo. Tho old Air Lino railroad, now tho Southern, was only completed to Buford and tho household effects woro shipped to that point and hauled by wagon teams to Gainesville Mr. Nunn, senior, was tho fathorof several ohildrcn, boj'H and girls. His daughter, Sal lie married a Frcnohman >1.. -1 'nu 11 IX im mo iiniiin 01 i no in as rer l'oc, who was located at that tiuio at Ponfiold, this slato. Souio time beforo hor father's removal to Gainesvillo she visited the family in Atlanta and spent Homo timo ministering to his wants, he being very feoblo at that timo, and ro turned to her middle Goorgia homo. Ho did not then entertain tho idoa of moving to Gainesvillo and when the decision was made to ooun here sho was not notified. About tho timo Mr. Nuun decided to ootuo hero Mr. Per Doo mado up his mind to rnako a change also, but he went to tho then thinly populated section of south Georgia to cngago in tho sawmill business. No letters were written by either family in some timo and neither know whoro the other was, but each presumed that tho other was living at tho Hatno plaoo. Woeks passed and Mr. Nunn failod to hoar from his daughter's family and vice verna. Weeks grow into months and Rtill no mcssago passed. Finally months grew into years aod thcro was still no news. Many letters had been wriit^D by Mr. Nuun's family to Mrs. Per Deo at her former postolhoe, but each was rcuro?d unrned ''uncalled for." Mrs. Per Deo had also written to her father's family at Atlanta and likewi-o her letters wero returned with the >atne explanation. Mr Nuun wrote o a gentleman who lived near where the P> r Dee's formerly resided asking for information as to where they wcro, ''U-. tho answer came back that ho didn't koow, that Mr. Per Deo did not know wnere r.o was going to looato when he left there, Both Hides gavo up and thirty years passed. A few weeks ago Mrs. For Doe, whose home is at Glonnwood, Montgomery oounty, whero hor husband movod to from Fetifi Id, decided that sho would make one last < lfort to lind hor relatives. Sho went to Atlanta, scoured a city direotory and looked it over for the uamo of Nunns, but their initials did uot correspond with those of any of hor brothers or sistors. She finally onmo across ono that sho dooided to lonk up. Sho went to his hoarding house, but ho was out. Inquiry put her on tho track of another Nunn, and after oonsidorahle delay she found him. It was her brother, Dilmus Nunn. Explanations were soon made and brother and si?ter wore liannv tncrthnr Thou ???? _ t ^ ?WQVV?v?t W v VUVU notified other brothers and sisters, ex copt ono, Mr. J. M. Nunn, whom they decided to surpriso and they all joined in a happy reunion. Monday Mrs. Per Deo arrived in tho oity and atoneowaH diivon to Mr Nunn's homo. Ho had not boon notified of her coining, and it is sale to say it was tho most joyous turprisc ol his lifo. Mrs. Per Deo will remain hero eocuo timo and will visit all her relatives before returning homo. Now is tho timo when oroup and lung troubles prove rapidly fatal.
