Sam Jones says again that Senator Steve Clay is “the whole thing.” The election for dispensaries in Rome has been declared off for the present, at least that is what the Rome Tribune says. Trips of “no political signifi cance” by alleged gubernatorial Candida'es are just now creating much interest among those that like to keep up with the proces sion. The news item concerning the action of the Thomas county grand jury in reference to euchre players was taken from the Atlanta News and not the Atlanta Journal. The grand jury did not “ignore” the charge of the presiding judge nor did the news item so state or even intimate such. MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION. The impression is very strong among those who tire in touch w'th the members of the Robert Ogden party that recently visited the South in the interest of edu cation, that steps will soon be taken to greatly increase the South’s educational advantages. Asa 1 ready stated in the Morning News a board of seven Southern men will be created, of which Mr. Ogden is to be the chairman. It is expected that through this board a very large amount of money will be given for educational purposes. The money wil l be dis tributed throughout the Southern states. It is the plan to send agents into every county to arouse interest in education. The aim will be to get the people themselves to contribute more to the public school, and when this is accom plished contributions will be made from a fund that will be donated lor that purpose. It may be that the gift of money will be made on on the plan that Mr. Carnegie gives money to towns for libraries —that is, so much will be given to a county that raises a certain sum Irom its own citizens. It is well understood, of course, that money is not to be donated especially tor negro schools. The white schools are to have their share of it. It is recognized that it would be a mistake to undertake to give negroes educational advant ages superior to those possessed bv the whites. Of course, there is no plan for the distribution of money agreed upon yet, and none will be until the board in question is appointed. There will necessarily be a good deal of discussion of details, even after the main features have been settled. It may, therefore, be sev eral weeks before anything definite is known of what the philanthop ists propose to do. It will be recalled that Mr. Rockefeller, a son of John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil mag nate, was one of the Ogden partv. There is a rumor that he is to be one of the largest contributors to the educational fund. It seems that he has some views of his own as to what very rich men should do with their money, and that his father is willing that he shall put his views to a practical test. —Sa- vannah News. YOUNG MEN AND SOCIETY. Senator Depew was asked the other day what he thought of the opinion recently expressed by Mr. Schwab.president of the steel trust, that “society is a bad thing foi a young man with a career before him.” He said: “Society is ruin ous. A young man needs all his energies, all of his vital force, for his career.” In the course of his talk Sena- tor Depew said that a few days ago he was talking of this very matter with a distinguished lawyer I in the office of the latter The law ! yer has two sons who are college j graduates, and in every respect j worthy young men but they are overwhelmed with social atten : tions. They are in their father’s ! office, trying to read law, but have j not much time to give to their studies. In the same office is an other young man. He is poor, and for the privilege he enjoyes he dusts the furniture and does other odd jobs. The lawyer, in the course of his conversation with Mr. Depew sa : d: “What worries me is the thought that when I arn gone this poor young man will probably be at the head of this business, and my sons will be in his employ—if he cares to employ them.” Poverty is a good thing for a young man to start with who hopes to make something out of himself. Society is a mill stonei about a young man’s neck —a young man who is capable of making something out of life and is disposed to do so. Too much society is not good for either young men or young women. So ciety and business do not get along well together. Devotion to society neglect of business. Senator Depew and Mr. Schwab are right, Society is bad for young men who have their way to make in the world. WHAT AN AD, DOES. In a lecture on “The Making of a Newspaper” Charles Hopkins Clark of the Hartford (Conn.) Courant presented the advertising end in a very practical and con vincing manner. “It is enough,” he said, “that the newspaper does have such uni versal reading. That makes the business opportunity for the ad vertiser,and it is by what it receives for carrying on his work for him that the paper can be sold for less than it costs. Imagine yourself appointed agent to canvass Hart fort for the sale of any article, however desirable. How are you going to get at the public? Mail them circulars, and the postmen groan and the wastebaskets in our to,ooo homes give each a weary yawn, and the circular disappears unread. Call upon people and ex plain the merits of your wares? How are you going to get in? The sign ‘Our Busy Day’ hangs in big letters in business offices; in pri vate houses you must ring the bell. Oftenest you are turned away. If you get in by any! shrewd excuse, you cannot go be yond the h ill or reception room. You are quietly watched there in the interest of overcoats and um brellas, and when you explain your errand you are speedily restored to the outer air. But put a clev erly worded advertisement of those same wares into a uewspaper that has an e tablished circulation in the city's homes and business houses and see what happens. You couldn’t get in there yourself, but your advertisement is thereon the breakfast table, in the library, in the parlor, in the sewing-room, and when everybody is inquiring for the paper, which can’t be found, it is very likely doing duty on the quiet in the kitchen. It is all over the house, and wanted there. You were not. Similarly at the office, it. is read and reread, and part of the uss of the ‘Our Busy Day’ sign is to get the chance to read the papers. The advei tisement thus started is taken right into the family life and the busi ness life. This has always been the case, and I don’t see why it should not continue to be And it is interesting to note that the advertisement has another than a commercial use. It is printed for business purposes puieand simple, but after it has served its day it takes its place in the picture of the life of the times. Back a hundred years or more in our files the ad vertisements are really more inter esting than the news, socalled. They show what people ate and drank, what they vvore and what they read, and, by offering to meet aH the wants of their time, show what those wants were and what were the conditions of the life to which they belonged If our pap ers survive the advertisements of today will serve a similar pur pose.” THE NEGRO CENSUS. Macon Telegraph. It is common to speak loosely of the 10,000,000 negroes of the United States, and probably few persons are aware that this esti mate is fully 1,500,000 too large. It is reported from Washington that the negro population of the country, as determined in last year’s census, will be found to be not quite 8,500,000. This number will no doubt prove to be approx imately correct, and if so,it will show that the negro population has increased in the past ten .ears a little over 1,000,000 or less than 14 per cent. Accepting this esti mate, we have the following com plete census rocord covering no years: THE WEEKLY NEWS, CAKTERSViLLE, GA NeprO In- Per Year population. crease, cent 179 • 757,206 1500 1,002,037 224,829 3223 1810 1.377 .808 375.77 1 37-50 . 1820 1.771.656 394,848 28.59 I 1830 2,328,642 550.986 31.44 1840 2,873,648 545.006 2340 | 1830 3,638,808 705,16 c 26.03 | iB6O 4,441,830 803,022 22 07 1870 4,880,009 438,179 9 86 1 ISBO b,580,791 1,700,7*4 3481; I 1890 7.470.C40 889.247 1351 1900 8400, 000 1,029.900 1378 As will be seen, the largest per | cent, increase was shown by the } census of 1810, at a period when the natural increase was aided materially by fresh importations of slaves from Africa. The census of 1870, and each anoint the census of 1870, and such an extraordinary falling off is attributed, no doubt rightly, to a defective census. This would account for the abnormally large increase shown bv a correct census in 1880. In order to provide a more satisfactory basis for com parison, it would be better to add th e incr ease shown for 1870 to that for 1880, take one-half that sum, and thus provide an average increase of 22.35 P cr cent, foreach census. Noting the very slight per cent, increase for 1900 over 1890, which the above table shows, a Northern exchange suggests better sanitary conditions as the proba ble cause, and adds: “But it is not probable that the proportion of colored to white population in this country will materially increase in the future above that shown by the last censuses. It is more likely to decrease.” This is the interesting point brought out by the latest returns. Although, as we now know, the remarkably high rate of increase shoNvn by the census ot 1880 was misleading, it conveyed the im pression that the blacks were in creasing faster than the whites and caused alarm among Southern observers. The census of 1890 told a very different story, showing that the whites were increasing much faster than the blacks. And now comes the census of 1900, fully sustaining and confirming the showing for 1890. This tact is cause for congratulation,especially among the people of the southern states, to whom the thought that their descendants might becrowd ed out by an alien race has been the reverse of agreeable.
