Borne week* ago It woe reported from
(Washington that the negro population
of the country, an determined by la*t
year's census, would be found to be
not Quite &500,000, showing an Increase
In the past ten year* of a lltttt over
3,000,000, or less than 14 per cent. The
figure* for 1800 and 1900 were given a*
follows:
Negro In- P^r
Year. population. crease.' c«*nt.
{m . r..;7.47«.<»v» wi.tiT is.r.i
Moo ,1600,000 1,020,860 J3.78
Contrary to tbs impression given by
the census of ISM, which 1* believed to
have been defective, the cemtue of 1880
showed that the white* were increasing
much faster than the black*. This
showing w«* confirmed by the esti
mated figure* for 1900. Now the New
York Evening Po*t tell* u* that tho
tabulation of the population by color
lia* proceeded far enough to show that
"tha negro la numerically holding his
own In the Southern states." The race
figures have a * yet been made public
only tor Alabama and Arkansas, but
•'the Indication* are that the full re
turn* will moke the proportion of
black* to the whole population of the
country 11.8 per cent. In 1900, a* against
11.9 per cent, in 1890." Thla "alight loss
•will bo due to the greater growth of tho
■white race In the North rather than to
n loss of the blacka in the South."
It aeemts that In Arkansa* during the
last decade "the negroes have in
creased more rapidly then tho whites,
ns they have done in every census pe
riod but one for the last eighty years."
No general conclusion can be reached
from the figures of the tingle state or
from two state*, hut for somo unknown
reason the Evening Post film* at a
general conclusion that the {duck* of
the South are still lncreu*lng faster
than the whites, although the figures
for 1880 which conveyed this impres
sion have been pronounced erroneous.
{ Disc waning the situation In Alabama,
[the Evening Poet pause* nyr |he flg-
I uris for the whole state with a hare
| mention and make* much of those for
the black belt, pointing out that In
twelve counties, where tho whites con-,
atltute less than one-third of the In
habitants, there are now leu* than 10
pur cent, more white people than there
w»ro In 1890 and nearly 17 per cent,
more n*groe*. In nine other counties
where the negroes have a smaller ma
jority, the latter have Increased during
the past ten years 17.03 per cent, and
the whites only 12.28 per cent. This Is
conclusive for the black belt, though
not for the whole state. And it la
much less conclusive even for the par
ticular section than might be supposed,
owing to a consideration which the
Evening Post entirely overlook*. name
ly, that the average white resident of
the black belts of all the Southern
states Is naturally disposed to get out
of the same as soon as he can do ao
without,too great pecuniary sacrifice.
Near the bottom of It* article the
Evening Post unconsciously surrenders
Its argument by a passing tncntlcm of
the fact that In 1180 out of every 10,000
Inhabitants of Alabama 4,640 were ne
groes, while In 1000 out of every 10,000
Inhabltnnts 4,624 were negroes. Thus
In the state at largo there ha* been an
Increased proportion In favor of the
white race notwithstanding the serious
check received by the latter as the re
sult of tho killing off of ao many thou
sands of young men during the etvll
war who would otherwise have contrib
uted tens of thousands of children and
grand-children to the state's popula
tion.
Although It la worth while noting
srr.t.MXG nEi’ORit.
According to Professor Francis A.
March, who r**nd a paper on the sub
ject last week before tho American
Philological Association at Cambridge,
Mas*., there Is at present more life in
the spelling reform movement than
at any time during the past
fifteen years. There is plenty ! of
spelling-reform enthusiasm In Pro
fessor March at any rate, and he
I* unquestionably In a state
mind over "the desperate condition of
the English language." His more ntrik
Ing statements have been summarised
a* follows:
Our present bad spelling cost* two year*
in tho life of every child who Is educated
In our public schools. The main cause of
the degree of Illiteracy which prevails
among our people is the unreasonable
«!M.|]fng of the English language. It costs
Iho ct untry needlessly many millions of
dollars for school teachers. The cost of
printing auperlluous and misleading let
ters Is very great. It has been found that
IT the New Testament were set up In
phonetic type** every 100 letters and spaces
of the present editions would be reduced
to *1 This means that every pi Blblo
trould be reduced to 15, «• far as cost
>1 printing and paper Is concerned. It has
>e*n computed that If the reformed spell
ing were uxed In the government printing
offl * * “
Ice It would reduce the bill for printing
iluced one-sixth In price. Every news
paper would hmvo one column In six,-and
print Just ks much reading matter, leav
ing the other column of one-sixth ad
ditional material. One-sixth of all the
writing by hand would be saved: one-
sixth of all manuscripts of books, the rec-
orda of courts, deeds, legal documents,
sermons, account books of merchants, and
HFondence of ull sorts would bo
aaved.
If economy In printing Is the aim.
why not adopt a sign language pure
and* simple? Something similar
shorthand, for example. In that way
expanses could Ixs cut down to a com
parative trifle, dnd the two years wasted
on language In Its present desperate
condition would be sufficient for the
mastering of the system of sign*. Tc
convert "said" into "aed," "enough*
Into "enuf," and so on, would, In com
parison, accomplish hut alight gain.
Moreover, the proposed shortening on
the average would by no means be
great as these two examples would in
dicate. Many of the reform specimen*
suggested. In fact, neither shorten the
original word* nor come any nearer
expressing the real sound. Then there
la the confusion of derivations, the
loss of the symmetry and beauty at
taching In this Instance to time-honored
forms, the shock to old associations,
to be considered. With all due respect
to Profemor Match and the hundred
learned philologists who listened to
him, we are atlll disposed to leave well
enough alone
EXPORTS OF MAMTAOTVRES.
There Was n Sllicht Decrease for tin
Finn.! Year Ju.t Untied.
WASHINGTON. D. C.. July 19^-th
exports of manufactures from the
United 8t3te* appear to be slightly lees
In the fiscal year Just ended than in
the pieceding year, the figure* for th*
eleven months ending with May show
ing an apparent reduction of $14,565,-
030. This statement, however, 1* mis
leading becauss the figures of the year
1901 do not include the exports to Porto
llico and Hawaii, which were included
In former years, and which are largely
manufactures and which will aggre
gate $25,000,000 for the fiscal year. Were
It possible for the bureau of statistics
to include in Its figures of exports of
manufacture* those sent to Hawaii and
Porto Rico, the figures of 1901 would
differ little from those of 1900.
Indeed, an analysis of the general ex
port figures of manufacture* for the
eleven months now available shows in
most case* an Increase over 19C0, and
that the decrease Is confined to a few
articles and 1* due. In some cases at
least, to a fall In price rather than a re
duction in quantity. In illuminating oil*,
for instance, the export figure* for the
eleven month* ending with May, 19t*J,
show a decrease of four and a half
million dollar* in value, but an Increase
of nearly fifty million gallons, the ac
curate figure* being: For eleven
month* ending with May, WOO, gallons,
863,554,528; value, $51,753,797; and for
eleven months of 1901, gallon*, 711,842,-
276; value, $47,228,483. Two other great
article* of our exports of manufacture*
show a reduction In 1901 as compared
with 1900, vl*., copper and cotton man
ufacture*. and these indeed form the
chief reduction In the grand total* lor
the year 1901 as compared with 19CQ.
In the latter, cotton manufacture*, the
reduction Is due entirely to temporary
condition* In China. The total exports
of cotton manufactures In the eleven
months ending with May, 1901, are
$17,275,299, against $22,080,583 In the cor
responding months of last year,
duotlon of $4,805,284; while an exam
ination of the figure* of the exports of
cotton cloth to China show* that they
fell from $8,288,946 In the eleven month*
of 1900 to $3,004,727 In the same month*
of 1900. a reduction of $5,284,219 In this
item alone. Thus the reduction in
theexportstlon of cotton manufactures
Is entirely accounted for In this single
Item of cotton cloth* to China, where
the reduction Is, of course, but tempo
rary, due to the disturbance* in thnt
* J. A If COCK OF OGLETHORPE
COCRTT TOOK MISS MAMIE JOHN
SON TO ATHENS WHERE THEY
WERE MARRIED—GIRL'S FATHER
HAI) THE GROOM ARRESTED FOR
DIGAMY.
ATHENS, Ga., July 19.—A marriage
which was solemnized in this city some
week* ago has created somewhat of a
sensation. Rev. J. I. Davie, pastor of
the First Methodist church, performed
the ceremony at the pareonage. The
couple, a man tot about 50 years and
the lady of about 18, arrived Just after
dark. The gentleman gave to Mr. Da
vis a marriage license which had been
procured in Oglethorpe county, and
thorlzed the marriage of Mr. L. J.
Aycock and Miss Mamie Johnson. Rev.
Mr. Davis wa* requested to ray noth
ing of the marriage; and the couple
spent the night at a boarding house
in the city. The next day the groom
returned to his work on the plantation
of Mr. N. D. Arnold, at Crawford, Ogle
thorpe county, and the bride remained
In Athena Her home—at leaot, her
father's home—wa* near Edwin, Ogle
thorpe county. He 1* a farmer, Mr.
Tom Johnson. When the father of the
lady heard of the marriage he was very
angry, as he said Mr. Aycock had a
wife from whom he had not been di
vorced. and he immediately took out a
warrant for hi* arrest, charging him
with bigamy. When Mr. Aycock was
arrested he admitted that he had a
wife living in northeast Georgia, from
whom he had not been divorced; but
claimed that he was innocent of any
wrong doing. He said he had not lived
.. - . . . .. with hi* wife for more than three
« < l Ur the first half °* t* 10 | years, an( j thought this fact rendered
fiscal year. The only remaining ltem.„ divorce unnecessary. He gave bond.
Tho Republican party, according to
tho Ban Francisco Call, Is In peril be
cause of tho "wetikneas and Inconse
quence" of tho party opposed to It, and
It* power Is likely to be used elsewhere
as in Pennsylvania, "to glvo high of
fice to* low men." To judge from re
cent Indications, this peril arising from
tho "weakness and inconsequence" of
the Democrats will bo removed In
good time.
Topics of the Times
In tho list of exported manufacture*
which shows a material reduction 1*
copper, which ehows & fall of 63.721.-
840 pounds in quantity, and $11,849,518
In value, during the eleven months end
ing with May. 1901, a* compared with
the same period of 1900 though the
value of copper exports In 1901 Is more
than 88,009,000 in excess of the cor
responding months of 1899.
In a largo share of the important ar
ticle* bf our export* of manufacture*
the figures of 1901 show a marked
growth over those of the preceding year
and of any preceding year. In nteel
rails, for Inrtance, the exports dur
ing eleven months of 1901 are more than
$2,000,000 In excess of the same months
of last year: In pig Iron there Is an In
crease of a million d-ollftrs; in bar* and
rod* of steel, an Increase of a million
and a half; In electrlcil machinery, a
million and a half; in boot*, and shoe*.
million dollars; In cotton seed
nil. nearly two millions; In carriages
and cars, two millions; In chemical*,
more than a million; In scientific In
struments. a million dollars; while, as
already indicated. In some eases where
the value* have decreased there Is still
an Increase In quantities, the apparent
reduction being dtie to the fall In prloe
and not tb a reduction In the quantity
exported.
American manufacturers have, there
fore, no occasion for anxiety regarding
the slight apparent decrease in the im
port figure* of manufactures In 1901,
which Is due: 1. To the fact that ship
ment* of goods to Porto Rico and Ha
waii, aggregating more than $20,000,000
In the year Just en •-<1. are no longer

Instances the reduction Is?duetto
a divorce unnecessary. He gave bond,
and says he is ready for his trial at
th* regular lerm of the court.
Mrs. Aycock I* at her father's home
and has little to say about the matter,
beyond the fact thnt she aid not know
it was against the law for her to marry
Mr. Aycock.
The bride was presented with a check
by the groom .raid to be a marriage
gift. It Is for $340. The check is
drawn on no bank and the signature
to It Is illegible.
