Are the Negroes Dispersing?

.the reports of the hew census show
Louisiana to be “a white State”—
having, for the first time, a clear
preponderance of white A
tion. In 1$80 the State fyad'a ne
gro majority of 27,874; in 1900
the white majority was 78,808.
The Picayune finds in the re
turns of that and other Southern
States support for its theory that
the diffusion of the negro popula
tion throughout the territory o::
the Union is the only hope of re
lief for the congestion of that ele
ment in the Southern States.
The returns of race population
according to the last census, are
given for five Southern States be
sides Louisiana. In Alabama the
white majority has increased, in
round numbers, from 45,000 in
1870 to 173,000 in 1900; in Arkan
sas, in these three decades, from
239,000 to 577,000; in Kentucky
from 876,000 to 1,579,000; in Ma
ryland, from 430,000 to 717,000.
The excessive death-rate among
the blacks and a white immigra
tion to some of these States will
account for part of the changes
but the Picayune thinks when al
the returns shall be in it will be
found that there is a very decidec
increase in the negro population
of most of the Northern States
caused by the movemeut of South
ern negroes into them. ” The bet
ter wages and wider field of em
ployment at the North have at
tracted many, but the diffusion
has been so "general as to attract
no attention in any particular
State. '

An Extinct Florida Town.
The Wehawitchka News gives
the following account of the pres
ent appearance of the old towi/of
St. Joseph, once the most flour
ishing seaport of Florida: At old
St. Joe millions of brickbats and
whole brick mark the site of the
town that once had from 5,000 to
15,000 inhabitants. The only in
habitants we saw were about fifty
head of cattle and a pair of sand
hill oranes. Yet this place back
in tie 30’s and 40’s, was the most
important place in the state. If
was here the first Constitutional
Convention was held, and came
near being the capital of the state.
Yellow fever depopulated the
town and from that time on it
went down. Many of the houses
were moved, to Apalachicola. We
visjted the old cemetery and found
many graves, but only ten with
inscriptions to identify them.
The vaults, made of the best brick,
had been opened and bones caff be
seen. The fences around the
graves had fallen down by fire
burning the posts, yet today,
some sixty years afterward, the
pickets are souud as a dollar.
From all reports, St. Joseph was
a wide-open town, gambling in
ight on Sunday as well as week
ays, and it is’said there was not
a church in the place.”
“Have by some surgeon Shy-

People can bleed to death. The
loss of blood weakens the body.
It must follow that gain of blood
gives the body strength. The
strengthening effect of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is in
large part due to its action on the
blood-making glands and the in
creased supply of pure, rich blood
it produces. It is only when th^
blood is impoverished and im=-

which to root. The “Discovery”

A note was made recently of a
discussion that had taken place
among some scientists out West
as to whether it be possible for a
snake to move backward. One of
them contended that it is, for he
said he had seen a rattlesnake en
ter its Mole tale first.* The sense
of the meeting was against him
however, the others claiming that
it is physically impossible for
snake fco move backward. A cow
boy, who has heard about the dis
cussion* and whose life on the
plains has given him many ;
chance to learn the habits of rat
tiers, settles the disputed poirifc
by a very simple explanation. A
rattlesnake, he says, starts into
his hole head-first, but being too
wise to leave the rear part of his
body un watched, he makes a half
turn after going in a few inches,
thus bringing his head to the en
trance again. That being done
ie allows the rear of his body to
glide down out of sight. *
The story of a new trust, and
one that will come into direct
communication with housewives,
comes from Philadelphia. There
are 6,000 grocery stores in that
city. A syndicate proposes to buy
up at least half of them, and by
inference, run the other half out
of business. It is calculated that
3,000 of them can be bought, at
the rate ofJ $2,000 each. Half a
million dollars will be added as
working capital, making the in
vestment $6,500,000. The propri
etors of the places purchased are
to be retained as managers- It is
figured out that the stores could
se made to average each $25,000
a year in sales, with profits of 10
ler cent., making an annual re
turn of $7,000,000 on a capitaliza
tion of $500,000.—Savannah News.
