This morning’s Constitution
says:
State School Commissioner G.
R Glenn has received the cen
-Bus returns from every county
in the state with the exception
of Floyd county. Mr. Walter J.
Woodall, chief clerk of the de ■<
partment, has almost completed
the consolidation of the reports
and will be ready to hand in a
consolidated sheet as soon as the
the returns from Floyd county
arrive.
The census is the one provid
ed to be taken once every five
years and shows the number of
children of a school age in the
state. The last census was taken
in 1893 and the number of chil
dren at that time was 604,971.
The increase this year, esti
mating the increase in Floyd
county to be an average one, is
7 per cent over the census of
The exact number shown by the
consolidation, estimating Floyd,
is 6fti,249. showing an increase
of 48,338. The figures may be
greater or less than this should
the increase in Floyd county be
greater or less than has been es
timated.
The increase of the census of
1898 over the census of 1898 is
about equal to the increase of
the census of 1893 over that of
1898, The census of 1893 was
about 44,000 greater than that
of 1888, which was an increase
of about 8 per cent.
There was an increase in all
the counties with the exception
of twenty-two. In these there
was a slight decrease. The con
solidation will also probably
show that the increase in the
counties was greater in propor
tion than the increase in the
cities.
Ihe largest per cent of in
crease in any county was 75 per
c«nt in Irwin county. This in
cludes the city of Fitzgerald,
which has sprung up since the
last census. The exact increase
was 1,738,
Hie total number of white
children of a school age, ac
c°rding to the present census, is
336,689. The total number of
ctlored children is 316,560. The
increase of the whites over the
census of 1893 is 21,849. The en
crease oflcolored over the census

that the colored have increased
ttith greater rapidito.
( oininissioner Glenn expected
lhe increase to be greater than

THE ROME HUSTLER-COMM ERCAIL
MBBTB TOMORROW
’he State ExeeUtiveCommit
tee of Georgia Democracy
AT THE KIMBALL HOUSE.
Aggressive Campaign to be In
augurated.
Atlanta will be the center of
interest in Georgia this week, so
far as state politics is concerned.
The state executive committee
will maet at the Kimball house
tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock
and in addition to the members
of that body a large number of
well known politicians will be
in the city.
The meeting of the state exec
utive committee will be a matter
of considerable importance and
at this time the state campaign
will in all probability be formal
ly opened.
This campaign.it is understood,
will be an aggressive one and
the fight will be as hard and
strong as though the opposition
were not unusually weak. The
democrats are anxious for a large
majority and record breaking
may prove to be the order of the
day They are anxious for 100,000
majority and this will bd the
battle cry of the campaign.
At the meeting tomorrow the
policy of the campaign will be
outlined and a number of details
arranged. The matter will be
fully discussed and the members
from the various districts will
give some idea of the situation
throughout the state. The com
mittee will probably have a con
siderable amount of hard work
on hand.
From the time of the meeting
of the executive committee until
after the election the political
pot will boil furiously and over
whelming majorities are booked
for the democratic side of the
political slate.
Col. Allen Candler will, in all
probability, open up the cam
paign in Lincoln county during
the latter part of this week.
From this county comes the
populist nominee for governor,
J. B. Hjgan. and much interest
is attached tc Col. Candler’s
appearance there. From then on
things will be kept warm and
the populists will not be given a
breathing spell by their oppo
nents,
The members of the state
executive committee will begin
arriving today and by tonight
the Kimball will be crowded
with prominent politicians.
Mr. V. T. Sanford, of Rome,
is one of the three members of
the Seventh congressional dis

but no one. not even the most
imtimate friends of them or of
their families dreamed tha* a
wedding was to result so soon if
at all.

Col. and Mrs. John C. Foster,
of Foster’s Mills, accompanied
her parents on a visit to rela
