<>«S A DECREASE
Declined During the
Decade.
December 12.—
Webster county a
1 In 1910, against
deer ease of 467 or
have but a single
ht Is to the effect
If to Albany's population in 1900
added the total increase in the popu
lation of all Dougherty county 1900
to 1910 Albany would have but a pop
ulation of 6,962, or 712 less than Amcr-
icus had ten years ago
As a matter of fact, of course,
entire Increase in the population
Dougherty county could not have
been confined to Albany.
'In 1900 Dougherty county hid
,population eg 13,679, of which 2^331
were white and 11,228 colored.
The present census of 1910, as a:i-
moumced yesterday, gave Dougherty
county a total population of 16,035, an
Increase for the ten years of 2,336.
The population of Dougherty is ac
cordingly 13,057 less than Sumter’
Sumter almost doubles Dougherty.
Ten years ago (1900) iSumter hud
12.933 more population than Dough
erty.
In ten years, 1900-10, Sumter in
creased Its population 2,880, against
2,35® lor Dougherty.
The .population of Americus will hq
between 8300 and 8j500, It is believ
ed, while that of Albany will hardly
pass the 6,000 mark, or less than
lAimericus had twient yyears 'ago. The
disparity in white population between
the two cities will probaWy be
great as It was ten years ago when
thei whole of Dougherty county had
less than the city of Americas.
(With the impetus Sumter county and
Americus are now enjoying there need
be no fear that Albany will reach or
pass Americus in population i n the
next ten years.

Owing to the enormously heavy stock we have on hand and also
to the failure of our getting our new store in September when we ex

this section, we have decided that we will not move a big portion of
this stock to our new store on the corner of Jackson and Forsyth

hoped she bad not been alarmed.
LIFE.
(Alfred Noyes, in Hampton s.)
Life a cruel mlstr,
Lost year, Mr. W. E. Baker, of Tlf-
ton, surpr aed the cotton growers, even
the leaders, by the phenomenal crop
of twenty-one boles of cotton from
ten acres of ground. The yield at
tracted a great deal of attention all
through that section. This year,
■ftanH-d the same ten acres, expecting
to mate thirty bales, or three bales to
the acre. As It happened, owing to the
unfavorable seasons, he) made only
-vh’.t be considered half a crop, or
fifteen bales, one and cne-half bales to
the acre. Tils is a big crop and w II
give him something over 8100 per
acre and the eeed, at present prices.
Mr. Baker expects to .plant for three
bales to the acre again next year, bat
on another piece of Sand, and expects,
with favora'cie seasons to .set them.
He says hl3 methods Is to keep on fer
tilizing and keep on plowing. Ht
plows on after his neighbors quit, and
his cotton, stays green until frost.

URGES HIGHER TAX
ON NEAR-BEER1TES
Grand Jury Thinks City Li-
cens Should Be $750.
The passionate
The grand Jury has recommended
that the city of Americus put a
cense tax of J730 on near beer sa
loons, and as the city needs all
revenue it can get it Is quite -Ukety
that the council will give the matter
very serious consideration and proba
bly follow the advice of the grand
Jury. . i
The Incoming council Is to tackle
the problem of the city's finances and
on it will rest the -responsibility of
increasing the revenues wherever It is
possible to do so, without imposing
too heavy a burden on business In
terests.
The Increase of the near beer li
cense to 8750 would probably not re
duce the number of such places and
at the same time would bring In an
appreciated addition to the revenues

Temporary Heat Quickly
Did you ever stop to think o£ the many ways In which a
perfect oil heater Is of value? If you want to sleep with your win
dow open In winter, you can get sufficient heat from an oil heater
while you undress at night, and then turn it off. Apply a match
in the morning, when you get out of
bed, and you have heat while you dress.
Those who have to eat an early
breakfast before (he stove Is radiating
heat can get immediate warmth from
an oil heater, and then turn it off.
