POPULATION STATTISTICS OF SOUTHERN CITIES CENSUS SHOWS SOUTHERN CIT IES' RANK IN REGARD TO POPULATION. MEMPHIS IS NOW FOURTH Atlanta and Birmingham Grew Faster Than Tennessee City in Past Decade. I I l? ct | 1910 | 1900 (Gam New Orleans . .(339,075;287,104t 18.1 Atlanta . . . .(154,839, 89.872 J 72.3 Birmingham. . .(132,685; Memphis . . . .(131,105|102,320[, 28.1 Richmond. . . .|127,628| $5,050| 50.1 Nashville , . . .(110,361 80,805 : 36.5 Washington.—The census bureau announced the population, of Memphis, showing that this city, which was sec ond among Southern cities in 1900, has been supplanted in second place by Atlanta, and has dropped to the fourth place. Southern cities, in regard to pop ulation, now occupy the relative posi tion shown in the foregoing table. It has been jiredicted that the pop ulation of Atlanta would exceed the population of Memphis, but the fact that Birmingham slipped into third place and Memphis dropped to fourth Is a surprise. The census figures caused a great disappointment in Memphis. A few weeks ago a committee from the Mem phis Business club went to Washing ton and asked that the census of Mem phis be taken over again. Three wards were investigated, and it was found that the first enumeration was correct. The recount was denied. One reason for Memphis' failure to continue the great gorwth shown In 1900 is said to be the fact that there Is no more outlying territory left for it to include within its limits.

Including the chief of police, were killed and numbers injured in riots at Puebla, according to the statement of passengers arriving here from that city. The stories told by passeniers are to the effect that the trouble began when a number of policemen, headed by the chief, attempted to break up a meeting of anti-re-electionists which was being held in a large hall. As Chief of Police Miguel Cabrera and his men advanced toward the building, a door was opened by a woman, who shot and killed the chief. A fight then ensued between the police and the occupants. Bo far as known there were no Americans killed. El Paso, Texas.—Attacks on Amer icans in Mexico and rumors of a Mex ican invasion of Texas to avenge the lynching of Rodriguez, were but masks for a revolutionary plot honeycomb ing several of the states of Mexico, which was planned to culminate in a general uprising against the Diaz gov ernment. The developments of the past few days indicate that the anti-American demonstration was a mask to cloak the real situation, although danger has existed and still exists Chicago Strike Ricts. Chicago. Renewed rioting, in which one policeman was shot, took the place of the comparative peace which has marked the garment work ers' strike. More than a score of the strikers, most of them women and girls, were arrested and a number of policemen were injured. Thomas Floyers, a prlvitc detective, was shot while aiding tho police disperse a crowd of strikers. The strikers were said to be on their way to break into a plant where non-union help is em ployed. Mrs. Schenck Indicted. Wheeling, W. Va.—Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenck, charged with ad ministering poison to her millionaire kusbaad, Johu O. Schenck, was in dieted by tha grand jury of Ohio county. While no definite informa t*on is given out through the prose cutipg attorney's office, it is iearnec that only nurses who have been em ploysd by the Schenck family and Dr Frank L. Hupp, upon whose findings Mrs. Schenck was first arrested, were present to testify before the grant jury. FOOD PRICES DROP. Prices of Fresh Meats Have Fallen and Flour and Sugar Are Cheaper. Chicago.—A bumper corn crop and unusually heavy receipts of cattle and pork at the stock yards was given by Chicago dealers as the cause of the decline of prices in foodstuffs over the country. A decline in prices at the stock yards was followed by a reduction of fresh meats and staples. Commission men predicted lower prices still on everything except eggs, which, they say, are going higher. The following shows some of the reductions here in the last week: This Last week. week. Sugar 5c 5%@6c Flour, barrels .... $6.75 $6.90 Pork 16(5,220 20©22e Lamb 13c 18c Chickens 12%c 18c Mee-f 10 Q, 18c 12(^21c The decline since October is from 50 to 70 cents on cattle in the bulk, and the market in general is 50 cents lower than it was a week ago. Hog 3 have dropped from $9.65 a hundred on October 8 to 7.82%. J. Ogden Armour, head of Armour & Co., said the whole tendency in live stock prices was lower. He also declared the descent lyould be grad ual, and warned the public from ac cepting too hastily the belief that a drop from the hghest to the lowest prices was due. There was also a sharp decline in ce reals and fruits. It remains a problem whether the reduction in prices will reach as far as the consumer. SUFFRAGETTES FIGHT POLICE English Women Try to Reach Parlia ment Leaders. London, England.—The militanl suffragettes reopened hostilities agair against the government and marching, 16,000 strong, on the parliament build ing, gave the police a lively fight. Tho women, many of whom were placed under arrest, were led by Mrs. Em ineline Pankhurst. The suffragettes had determined, il possible, to dodge the police cordon about the house of commons, and, reaching Premier Asquith, to insist upon the adoption of a woman suf frage hill. The police, however, were too strongly entrenched, aud the wom en, who tried every means in their power to force tho line, were thrown back. Repeatedly they reitred breathlessly and disheveled, only to have thqir places on the fighting line taken by reserve*. A large contingent of American blue jackets from the visiting fleet were amused spectators to the strugjj.j. * PRO HIBI CA W RULING. Dry Law Is Held to Be Valid by Court. Montgomery, Ala.—The Alabama su preme court neld valid the state stat ute for the suppression of the evils j of intemperance, in the case brought j up in the city court of Montgomery by William J. Toole a year ago. The court overruled Toole in his contention that the Alabama law was not operative because the beer com prised interstate shipments by for eign corporations to divers persons in this state and that the liquor was in transit, Toole holding it for the pur chasers. Took* was also overruled in his plea that the law is In violation of I section 45 of the constitution, which j says that each law shall contain but j one subject clearly expressed in its title. IMMIGRANTS FOR THE SOUTH Planned to Divert Settlers From the j Crowded Cities to South. Springfield, Mo.—lnvitations to gov- j ernors aud immigration commission ers in the central W'est and Southern states to attend a conference in St. Louis to take steps to obtain national legislation which will send desirable immigrants from the congested East- | era ciUes to the undeveloped country in thd middle West will be sent out soon by Governor Hadley. The fact that President Taft recent ly declared he would favor any plan which would result in diverting immi grants from the crowded cities to the Western agricultural country is evi dence that tho proposed plan will ba aided by the nation's chief executive: Robin Cooper Acquitted. Nashville. Tenn.—Robin J. Cooper, | charged with the murder of Senator : Edward Carmack, was given a verdictf of not guilty in the criminal court on recommendation of Attorney General 1 Anderson. Thus was brought to a close the final chapter in one of the roost celebrated cases known to the courts of Tennessee. In striking con trast to the scenes marking the first trial of this case, when the court room was packed almost to suffocation, there were only a few persons pres ent. Tolstoi Dangerously 111. Tula, Russia. —Broken down by thsj hardships of a winter journey, men- 1 tal strain and a rupture with his fam ily, Count Leo Tolstoi lies with a high fever in the little railroad statton at Ast-apova, barely 80 miles from his home at Yasnaya Poliaaa. Tolstoi is attended by Doctor Makovestky, who was his sole companion when he left his peasant hut a few days ago and carried along with him medicament* for just such an emergency. Tolstoi’s daughter, Alexandra, Is acting as hla nurse. TERRELL IS NAKED SENATOR FOR GEORGIA EX-GOVERNOR SUCCEEDS LATE A. S. CLAY IN UNITED STATES SENATE. APPOINTMENT ANTICIPATED Action of Governor Brown Was No Surprise—New Senator Serves Until Next June. Atlanta.—Joseph Meriwether Ter rell is the new United States senator from Georgia. The proclamation naming former Governor Terrell to succeed the late Senator Clay was made out by Gov ernor Brown, and read at a surprise dinner party given at the mansion in honor of Georgia’s junior senator. The naming of Governor Terrell will probably cause no surprise at all throughout the state. He was the one man most conspicuously mentioned for the post, and the one who was uni versally expected to win the coveted honor. Throughout the two heated cam paigns of Governor Brown, he was the power behind the throne; he organ ized the state, and his hand was on every detail of the organization that won victory two years ago, and that mustered 100,000 men to the polls this year. A former governor of Georgia and former attorney general of the state, Senator Terrell has been conspicuous for his interest in education for the boys and girls of the state. The es tablishment of the eleven district ag ricultural schools which have since come into being, was made an issue in his campaign of 1902, when he first rati for governor, and authorized dur ing his incumbency in that office. Senator Terrell served In the lower house in the sessions of 1884 and 1880 ar.d in the senate which convened in 1890. He was elected attorney general in 1892 and served until 1902, when he resigned to make the race for gov ernor. lu that campaign he made over 120 speeches and defeated two able opponents, Hon. DuPont Guerry of Bibb and J. H. Estill of Chatham. He served in the office of governor for four years and eight months, be ing given an extra length of time, ow ing to the action of the legislature iu changing the time of meeting of tho legislature from October to Jure. He retired from the govrnor’s chair on July 1, 190i>, and has since been en- the practice of law in At lanta. The new junior senator from Geor gia is in the meridian of his mental and physical faculties, being just 49 years of age. He was born in Green ville, Meriwether county, on June 6, IS6I, the son of Joel E. G. and Sarah R. (Anthony) Terrell. The county of his birth was for Gen. David Meriwether, an uncle of his grandfa ther, and the one for whom the grand father was named. He was educated in the common schools of the state and studied law, being admitted to the bar in 1882. Four years later, on October 19, 1886, he married Jessie Lee Spivey of Greenville. In manner the new senator is calm, courteous and dignified. He is a man of simple habits, frugal manner of liv ing, and absolutely without affecta tion. He knows and is known to tens of thousands of Georgians. The term for which Senator Ter rell is named began at his appoint ment, and will terminate on the sec ond Tuesday after the legislature meets next June; or whenever his suc cessor is elected and qualifies. Mr. Terrell will be a candidate before the legislature or before the people if a primary is called by the state com mittee, for the remainder of Sena tor Clay's term, expiring March 3, 1915. AMENDMENT JLLEGAL. Judges’ Salaries May Not Be Raised After All. Augusta.—The county board of com missioners declined to pay the in creased salary of tne judge of the superior court, basing its action upon the opinion of Salem Dutcher and W. K. Miller to the effect that the con stitutional amendment recently adopt ed was void and illegal. The matter will be taken into the courts and in the meantime the county treasurer is ordered to pay out no money under the amendment. Both attorneys agree, arriving at their conclusions in different terms, that not only was the recently voted amendment unconstitutional in so far as it increased the salary of the su perior court judge, but also in that section whereby the judges who had received the additional $3,000 in years past were freed from the obligation of having to refund this money. Both at torneys agree that the amendment can not be retroactive in this regard. \ Macon has slipped into third place among Georgia cities with no little celebration. When the figures on the census of Augusta's population drop ped out of Washington, it looked in the Central City like pulling up a notch would set every business man wild with joy. If the figures on Au gusta are correct, given at 37,826, Ma con is ahead by a good margin. It is now Atlanta, Savannah, Macon, Au gusta and then the others. The jump “is a matter which has caused a great deal of pride in Macon. MANY NEW SCHOOLS. Professor Stewart Finds Certain Sec tions of State Making Fine Progress Educationally. Athens. —Prof. Joseph S. Stewart has just returned from a trip of in spection of the high schools along the road from Elberton to Toccoa. He re ports that no fifty miles of territory in the state has possibly made as great progress educationally In the last two or three years as this. Elberton has recently completed a $38,000 senool building, equipped with single adjus tible desks, a $1,200 laboratory for physics, telephones and electric clocks and signals in every room, and four teachers in the high school de partment. They are planning for a four years’ course next year, also for domestic science. Bowman has opened this fall a new graded school building costing about SB,OOO and Mercer-Gibson institute has remodeled the academic building and erected a large brick dormitory for the boarding students. The academy has a four-year course of study. Canon has a beautiful little brick school house, which cost about SB,OOO. It presents an attractive appearance from the railroad. Some improve ment is shown in the school. Royston has a large two-story brick building, which has recently been very much improved, while the curriculum has been likewise improved. Bowersville opened this fall a beau tiful two-story building, costing slw 600. A high school department uas been added to the grades. Hartwell has a beautiful brick house costing $22,000. The board is now planning several improvements to the curriculum and equipment. Up to three years ago this town had only a private school. Now nearly 350 students are enrolled. Hart county is also feeling the ef fect of the public school revival in Hartwell, and a majority of the school districts have voted a school tax. The whole county will probably be under a local tax by 1812. Lavonia voted a local tax three years ago and issued bonds to pur chase and enlarge the old private school building. The attendance has mere than doubled and the school is being rapidly improved. They have just been given a Carnegie library. Martin has built a one-story brick school house costing about $5,000. Toccoa has had a good brick build ing for some time. now over crowded. The people vew d litaU. month bonds to erect a high school builiiVuig. TMw are offering fWir years’ courk*e aid have authorized the purchase of SBOO worth of apparatus to be in by the new year. Every one of these towns is oper ating a local tax school and in each the school bouse is the best building ing the town with possibly the excep tion of the court house in Toccoa. The people are proud of their schools and school houses and are backing the boards and teachers in making them better. This fifty-mile trip along the Savan nah is alive to the value of education. The people are prosperous and the in creased training will make them more prosperous, for the economic develop ment is proportional to the length and efficiency of the school life of a peo ple. A JOB FOR HOWARD. Athens Banner Suggests State-at-Large x Congressman. Athens.—The Athens Banner print ed the following story: William M. Howard for congress man from the state of Georgia at large! This is the suggestion which Is be ing made by a number of loyal friends and admirers of the congressman from the Eight district of Georgia. There are conditions, provisos and contingencies, however. But at the same time the suggestion which is being energetically and en enthusiasticaliy made shows what in esteem the congressman from this dis trict is being held and what his worth to the state, the party and the South is when Ms services are reckoned. This is census year. The figures of the population of Georgia have not been announced. The increase is known, however, to be considerable. That it will be enough to entitle Geor gia to another congressman is believ ed to be the case. Provided that congress by enact ment at its next session makes the apportionment on the bases of the present congress, it is possible that even if the proportionate figures are increased, as many believe that con gress will determine, Georgia would still be entitled to a twelfth represen tive. _ * It happened in Georgia in 1882, when the census of 1880 gave Georgia its tenth congressman and the state was not redistricted immediately, and Hon. Thomas Hardeman of Macon was elected in a general state election as the tenth representative from Geor gia—a congressman from the state at-large. Close friends to Mr. Howard state that he is loth to enter a race again. The United States commissioner ol education publishes the State Normal school at Athens among the best fif teen normal schools in the 197 such schools in the United States. Five hundred and one students have been registered this fall in the State Nor mal school at Athens, with 130 in the ‘Muscogee Elementary school, making a total enrollment of 631. There is room in the dormitories for only 360 students, therefore more than eighty students are boarding in the homes of the immediate neighborhood. jL i/i Well” have used . lame leg that has given me much trouble for six months.
