The time is about here for the
organization of a good base ba'l
club for Covington Let some of
the local enihusiastics get together

Covington must secure the
| mer’s Institute for this district,
It will bring many representative
farmers to the city from this and
adjoining counties and will teach
all about the best methods of corn
culture; fertilizers, home and com
mereial; plantation oil mills; dairy
feeding; cattle and stock breeding;
forage crops; fruit culture; pasture
grasses; modern country h-unes,
yards ai d gardens, etc., etc. An
expert will be assigned to each
subject and many other addresses
made. It is is the best possible
thing for our farmers and the ex
penses are paid by the State,

It is a matter of frequent com

j the number of each sex, the foreign
and native born, the number ’
whites, negroes and oilier races >
an*! the percentage of persons re¬
siding in cities, towns am! rural
districts. The statistics on these
various phases of the stibj-ct. we
believe, will prove interesting and
instructive.

: The percentage of increas - of
males from 1890 to 1900 was 19 9,
while the females bounded for waul
to 21.3. I11 1890 Georgia contain
ed 919,225 members of the mascu
line gender and 917,428 of the
weaker sex.
The white males counted 593.-
128 in Georgia at the recent cen¬
sus, and the females of the Cauca¬
sian blood legistered 588,166, giv¬
ing the males an advantage of
4.962 in numbers. It is a matter
of note that in every South rn
state the white males outnumber
choir opposite sex; in fact, this is
true of every siate in the Uni'»'i
except New York and Massachu
setts. In these two states those
of the female persuasion out num
ber their fathers, sons and brothers
