Preliminary comparative statistics of the population of South Carolina were Issued today by Census Director Du rand. The tabulations were made un der the supervision of Chief Statisti cian Win. C. Hunt of the Division of Population and are the result of the first count, in detail, of the returns of the Thirteenth Census. The figures are, therefore, subject to possible re vision but it is believed that the changes, If any. will not be material. The figures relate to the Slate, the city of Charleston, the other cities of1 10,000 and over, and the counties. The j or decrease for the same classifica tion for the decade, 1900-1910, also is stated. The figures for the counties are divided Into white and negro, the latter including Chinese, Papanese, and Indians, but the number of such are so small that they do not material ly affects the figures given for negroes. Similar statements for the other southern states are being prepared and will probably be issued in the near future. The report shows that there are 11,550 people of all colors in Laurens county. Of these 18.790 are white and 22,75 I are colored. The population of Charleston, which total population of the state and of hitherto has not been given out, is Charleston is distributed into white, negro, and all other, and the percent age proportion of each is given, for the censuses of I!'lit. 1900, and 1890. The decennial percentage of increase placed at 58,833, the whole increase of something over 3.000 being cred ited to the white population.

In the Sunday edition of the Colum bia State, the second cotton condi tion report for this state, as gathered by the correspondents for that paper, were published. Reports came from nearly every county in the State. The following is how The State sum marized the situation: "Reports from all sections of the State show that there has been with in the past few weeks, a very serious deterioration in the cotton crop. Which the middle of July promised, in spite of the drought, to produce a normal yield. The continued drought followed by unseasonable weather, the damage done by the storm a week ago and continued and heavy rains, which caine at the worst time for the cot ton planters, have combined to cut the State's cotton crop very material ly. The yield will probably be from 25 to 33 per cent, below normal. Reports of deterioration from near ly every county and of damage make it certain that the crop this year will be very short, and while six weeks ago a normal yield was indicated, ii is now hardly possible that In the State more than a two-thirds crop will be made. In many sections cotton is opening rapidly and immediate marketing seems to be the order. In other sec tions the rains have prevented pick ing, and the cotton is rottening In the bur. In those sections which were damaged most by the storm the cot ton crop has been practically ruined. In only a few counties do the farm ers now expect to produce anything like an average yield, and. taking the Situation as a whole, the cotton crop seems to have been cut tit least one fourth."

('.. after a long and painful ilncss from that nwful and dreaded Brlghts disease, which resulted in paraysls on the second day of last October. For eleven months she was not able to speak, but maintained her mental faculties in a romarkabl ? de gree to the last. She was a daughter of Dr. Benjamine Wofford, of Spartan burg and a near relative of the fouud ? of Wofford College. In early life she graduated from the College' of Asheville, N. C. Later she married James Nevil Holcombe of Hobbysvllle, S. C. Mother Holcombe was a woman of a remarkable strong character; a great teacher , a faithful wife; kind, devoted and affectionate mother; amiable neighbor. Some characteristics of her noble life deserve special mention: her simple, childlike and unswerving con fidence and faith in God was beautiful. She loved the Bible, made it her daily companion, practiced its teachings, till i her light shined brightly and others seeing her good woiks were constrain ed to glorify God. She loved all min isters of the gospel and her home was opened always with unbounded hospi tality to receive them. Her devotion and loyalty to the Methodist church of which she was a consecrated member till deatli was most beautiful. Often in her long conllnement to her sick bed, she would sing and shout the praises of God. She leaves one sister, Mrs. Rev. W. L, Wait and four children to mourn her loss. Dr. B. B.
