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.

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 heart of man, you [of tho municipality. say, Only in mockery to refuse j )[{j.
