CD*SI’S TAKERS’ QUESTION'S.
The Henson* for Afnny Thnt People
Do Aol Dike to Answer.
The blank schedules to be used in the
next census are now being distributed by
the oensus office to the enumerators, who
will start to work on Juno L The sched
ules contain questions which some per
6ons may think prying, purposeless, or ex
cessive in number. But their number and
charaiAer have been determined by Con
gress, not by the Census office, and all of
them have been asked In previous census
es. The only important change since ISiW
is that some questions have been aban
doned.
People are often offended at the ques
tion, “How old are you?” and are apt to
wonder what use ihe government can
make of their replies. Taken as a whole
the replies are as Important as any class
of information the census office collects.
Age returns penetrate and elucidate every
other branch . f mt - CJ | kn tvl< g . They
show where child labor is prevalent, and
where the proportion of persons able to
support themselves is large or small. They
reveal the great numlier of colored chil
dren and the short life of the negroes un
der present conditions. They snake it pos
sible to ascertain whether the average
length of life is increasing or decreasing,
how many men the nation contains who
are capable of voting or of 1 .earing arms,
and whether the relative number of chil
dren is increasing or decreasing.
In Mohammedan or semi-civilized coun
tries like India householders are often
unwilling to answer the question regard
ing the sex of persons in the house, but
in civilized countries where the sexes are
regarded as on an equality, such unwill
ingness does not appear. The answers
to the questions show that In nearly all
cities the females outnumber the males
and that the same is true of most of Ihe
states along the Atlantic coast. The be
lief is widespread that taking the world
in general there are more females alive
at any given time than males, and that if
it were not for immigration there would
be more females in the United States
than males. Hut census statistics show
that the great excess of males (over one
and a half million) in the United Stales
by immigration-alone, cannot be explain
ed, for when the foreign-born are left
out of account, there are still above 6)0.-
000 more moles than females.
Few would dispute the necessity for
asking questions regarding race. All ar
guments regarding the future of any
particular race In this country, like the
Indian, the negro, or the Chinaman, must
hinge upon the returns in the census.
Some mothers may shrink from stating
the number of children they have had
and the number who are living. But
from the answers to these questions, the
country will learn whether the native
American population is holding it* own,
or whether, as some have claimed, it Is
being gradually supplanted and displaced
by the children of recent immigrants.
In the light of such explanations, and
only a few of the most Important ques
tions have been touched upon, it may
perhaps be cl. ar to the public that no
question has been ordered by Congress,
or has been asked by the census office
which, if properly and correctly answer
ed, will not lead to suggestive inferences
regarding the American people and their
work.

THE PORT ROYAL DOCK.
The Proposition to Move It Criti
cised.
Barnwell, S. C„ May 19.—Editor Morn
ing News: I see by the News and
Courier that you have been advocating
to have the Port Royal dry dock, If
torn up from Its present location, moved
to Savannah. And I see that Charles
ton, true to her ancient spirit, is hav
ing her feathers ruffled with indignation
at the presumption of Savannah, in even
hinting at such a suggestion. If the
dock Is to be moved at all from its
present, site, I hope that Savannah will
get the plum, because Savannah has al
ways treated Beaufort and 1 ort Pcyal
with more consideration and fairness than
Charleston has. It Is surprising that the
people of those towns give any share
whatever of their trade or patronage to
Charleston, which has always acted like
a "dog in the manger,’’ not only toward
Port Itoya!, but every oth.r city that
tries to do something for Itself by honest
enterprise and work—hut particularly to
ward Savannah and Atlanta.
The fact Is that the most that Charles
ton has done for herself since the war has
been remarkable success In standing al
ways in a begging attitude at the dodrs of
tho United States tieasury; her success as
a mendicant can otUv be accorr.teJ for o.t
the theory that it is her chief industry.
All her energies seem to be devoted to
begging, and, if all the largesses, from the
North and elsewhere, to the Charl sfon
College, to Porter's School, to the CUadal,
to dig out its shallow bar, to establish ex
position*. etc, the grant aggregation would
mount up into the millions. I suppose that
the Jetties, from first to last, must have
cost several millions—now she is moving
heaven and ear:h for a soldier s sanita
rium.
Including the Port Royal dry dock
scheme, she has now no less than three
or four enterprises on foot for rai ling the
federal treasury, which, if successful, will
deplete it to the extent of no less than
53.009,000, to say teething of the many mil
lions she has already swallowed In her
capacious maw.
Ker conduct towards Port Royal has
been nothing less than scandalous. Brief
ly reviewed, her tactics have been about
as follows:
First, to embrace every opportunity to
slander the dock and adroitly make it
appear that the disasters which have re
sulted from the Incapacity and inefficiency
of the government officials, from the head
officials In charge of navy matters down
to the contractors in charge of the build
ing of the dock—was due to the location,
rather ihan to the true cause.
Having succeeded In prejudicing the
minds of uninformed persons, she pro
ceeded to get rid of Col. Elliott, who, not
withstanding he was a Beaufort man, has
worked ceaselessly for Charleston, which
tried vainly to substitute Barnwell as Con
gressman in Elliott's stead. Realizing
that thnt was a difficult Job, she trios to
capture Tillman. She sends on to Wash
ington, brings the Oridiron Club there,
Invites Tollman, pats him on the hack,
and, presto! the “wild man from Borneo’’
Is tamed and captured.
Tillman takes no counsel with Elliott
after ha gets his instructions from
Smvthe and others in Charleston, but
works on Long and EmHeott, gets Endi
cctt and Long to write letters abusing
Port Royal and lauding Charleston, and
there being absolutely no man in the Sen
ate to tail the truth as to the situation, the
scheme goes through the Senate, absolute
ly without opposition.
But, in conclusion, If Port Royal cannot
have it I hope Savannah will. She de
serves to have it, as against Charleston;
for If tho national appropriations made in
Savannah and Charleston were summed
up and compared, It would be found prob
ably that Charleston, by her greater en
ergy and concentration In the mendicancy
business has corralled two dollars to every
one that Savannah has received.

HARD TO BREAK.
But file Coffee klnlyt Can Be Put Off.
"1 tins a coffee user from early child
howl, but M finally made me so nervous
that I spent a great many sleepless
nights, storting at every sound I heard
atnl suffering with a continual dull head
ache. My hands trembled and I was also
troubled with shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart. The whole sys
tem showed a poisoned condi:ion and I
was told to leave off coffee, for that was
tlio causo of it. 1 was unable to break
myself of the habit until somo ono In
duced mo to try Postum Food Coffee.
"The first trial, the Food Coffee was
flat and tasteless and I thought it was
horrid stuff, but my friend urged me to
try again, and let It boll longer. This
time I had a very delightful beverage and
have been enjoying it ever since, and
am now in a very greatly improved con
dition of health.
"My brother Is also using Postum In

W., who was a great coffee user, found
himself growing more and more nervous
and WHS troubled at times with dixzy

and Indigestion, also from coffee. They
left It off and have been using Postum

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion.
The national disease of Americans Is In
digestion or In Its chnordc form dyspep
sia. and for the very reason that it is so
common many people neglect taking prop
er treatment far what they con.*ller trifl
ing stomach trouble, when as a maner
of fact indigestion lays the foundation for
many incurable diseases. No person with
a T.gotojs, healthy s oaacb w l- fall a rlc
tim to consumption. Many kidney distas
tes and heart troubles date their beginning
from pcor digestion; th’.n, nervous people
are really so because their stomachs are
out of goar, weary, languid, faded out
women owe their conditloa to imperfect
digestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflict'd with weak digestion it Is not
surprising that ne3ily every secret pot
ent medicine on the market claims to be a
cure for dyspepsia, ns well as a score of
other troubes, when, in fart, as
Dr. Werthler says, there is but
one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe and reliable,
and moreover, this remedy is not a pat
ent medicine, but it is a scientific combi
nation of pure pepsin (free from animal
matter), vegetable essences, fruit salts and
bismuth. It Is sold by druggists under
name of Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets. No
extravagant claims are made for them,
but for Indigestion or any stomach trouble.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are f3r ahead
of any remedy vet discovered. They act
on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary,
simply eat ad the wholesome food you
want and Ihese tablets will digest it. A
cure results, because all the stomach
needs is a rest, which Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets give by dGing the work of diges

to the Governor, who shall Bsue a death
warrant for the execution of the convicted
person, designating the date therefor.

NOT GIVING SATISFACTION.
Augusta** Street Car Ordinance Is
Seriously Objected To.
Augusta, May 22.—Augusta’s new law
to separate the race® on street cars Is
not an urtqunliiied success. The negroes
have boycotted the cars and practically
do not ride at all, and the whites are
kicking about being made to sit on . the
front seats when they prefer to eit fur
ther back.
The ordinance provides that the two
front seats are reserved for white* and
the two back seats for negroes. When
these two are Ailed, then the whites are
assigned to the third front seat and the
negroes to the third back seat, and so on
till they meet. The conductors have
police powers and passengers must sit
where they direct.
Mr. M. J. Dicks was before the Re
corder this morning for refusing to sit
on the front seat. He gave as hid ex
cuse that it was occupied by ladles, and
he was not dressed su'tably to sit beside
them, but had .taken the seat immediate
ly behind them, none but the front seat
being occupied. Recorder Baxter re
served his decision. The ladies are com
plaining bitterly about being forced to sit
on the front seat next to the motorman,
with half a dezen empty seats back of
them.
At the annual meeting of the Merry
Makers’ Association to-night the follow
ing officers were elected: P. H. Rice,
president: T. I. Hickman, H. J. Porter.
C. O. Kelly and C. B. Garrett, vice presi
dents; John B. Walker, treasurer; W. E.
Latimer, secretary.
JAIL DELIVERY AT ABBEVILLE,
Seven Prisoners Break Through
With a Hammer anil Escape.
Abbeville, Ga., May 22.—A rather re
markable jail delivery occurred here yes
terday evening. About 5 o’clock, Mr. An
drew Doctor, who resides near the Jail,
heard a hammering in the cells, apd went
to the building to investigate. Peeping
through a crack ho discovered that the
p-tsoners were making an effort to break
out by mtans of a sledge hammer, a file
and other tools which had been passed
Into the prison by some outsider.
Mr. Doster went a: once to notify Sher
iff Gibbs, and returned with him about
pun set; but too late. The prisoners (six
men and one woman, all negroes), were
out and gone, and not one of them has
yet been captured.
One of the m> n was charged with barn
burning; the other prisoners were Jailed
for minor offenses.

Lottie of Johnson's Chill anil Fever Tonic would not make them feel
