The work is presented in tables as well as all the clerical work, was done by Negro employs. Increase in Negro Population. The Negro population of the United States increased from 757,708, or 19.3 per cent of the total population, in 1790 to 817,708, or 22.1 per cent of the total population, in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1910 was at the rate of 2.1 per cent per year during the white population increased by 22.3 per cent. Since 1810 there has been a continuous decrease in 'he proportion' which Negroes have formed of the total population at the start, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented since 1810.

The largest Negro population in cypress forests in Georgia was 176,987; Mississippi was second, with 1,009,487; and Alabama third, with 980,000. Of the 9,827,763 Negroes in the United States in 1910, 7,777,077, or 79.1 per cent, were reported as of pure Negro population, with 6,929,077, or 90.4 per cent being classed as 'mulattoes'. For census purposes this term covers all persons of mixed white and Negro races. The figures indicate a continuous increase in the percentage of mulattoes during the past forty years. Density and Center of Negro Population 300-400 In Mississippi and South Carolina the Negro population was more than 50 percent and 55.2 per cent, respectively, and in Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida the percentages ranged from 41, respectively. In each of fifty-three counties, scattered throughout the states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Louisiana and Tennessee, at least 75 per cent of the total population was Negro in 1910. Of the Southern states, the percentage was as high as 5, the percentage of Negroes was only 5.3, the there were only five other Northern states—New Jersey, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana—in which the proportion of Negroes exceeded 2 per cent. The "center of population" for the Negro race in the United States is now 1790. In the state of Fort Payne, DeKalb County, in north eastern Alabama. Its movement ever since 1790 has been in a southwesterly direction, and in 1910 it moved only 5.8 miles to the west-southwest, while during the same period the center of total population moved 39 miles to westward. Negroes in Urban and Rural Communities. The percentage of Negroes in rural communities—that is, outside of incorporation of 2,500 inhabitants or more—decreased from 80.2 in 1890 to 77.3 in 1900 and to 72.6 in 1910. The corresponding percentage of Negroes in urban areas were 63.9 in 1890, 65.9 in 1900, and 53.7 in 1910. There are 42 cities each of which had more than 10,000 Negro inhabitants in 1910. Ten of these cities lie outside of the Southern states. The total Negro population in the Southern states was 1,341,468. Washington stood at the head of this list with a Negro population of 94,446, while New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania occupied second, third, fourth and fifth places, with 91,709, 89, 262, 84,749 and 84,459, respectively. The percentage of Negroes in the United States between 1900 and 1910, however, was lower than for most of the other cities in the list, being only 8.9. The proportionately, was shown by Birmingham, Ala., whose Negro population increased by 35,780, 35,780, and 34,970. Philadelphia showed the next largest numerical gains, 31,043 and 21,486, respectively, the rates of increase for these cities being 51.2 per cent and 34.9 per cent, respectively. Ninety-nine and two-tenths per cent of all Negroes in the United States were natives of native parentage, only four-tenths of 1 per cent being foreign parentage. Of the 40,333 foreign-born natives of 1 per cent were natives of foreign, or mixed native and foreign parentage. Of the 40,333 foreign-born natives of 1 per cent were or a trifle more than 60 per cent came from Cuba and the West Indies. Only 473 were born in Africa. Of the 40,333 foreign-born natives in the United States is on the basis of 98.9 males to 100 females, while for the native whites of native parentage the percentages are closer. The statistics show a tendency on the part of the Negroes to marry at earlier ages than whites. This is because the whites clearly select centages which married, widowed and divorced persons, taken as a group, of the total numbers between the ages of 33.6 for Negroes and 27 for whites. Interstate Migration. Interstate migration is apparently less extensive among the Negro population than among the white native Negroes in the United States were living in the states in which they were born, while only 77.5 per cent of the American population were residing in their native states. Twelve states—Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Mississippi Louisiana, Delaware and Maine —have lost more than they have gained migration through interstate migration while all of them have have gained more than they have lost the first-named three states where losses of the 206,764; South Carolina, 121,479; North 48,104; South Carolina, noteworthy fact that the greatest net gain to gro population from this cause, 105,318, shown by Arkansas, a Southern state.

The close their eighth season of road work on May 3rd—the earliest closing date of their history. They were in the midst of a work with but two lost dates during the season. Both dates were booked, but were lost due to local causes of an uncontrollable nature. The bookers booked under auspices of churches and societies exclusively. As an evidence of their road work it may be said that they have a grand total of 1,175 dates filled from their opening September 7th, 1907, to May 3rd, 1915, an average seasonal date each season for eight seasons.

I-guess that's going so well. Our manager, Mr. J. Rogers, is like the German army—you never give up. He carries a rifle and is good at all times, and always meets you with a smile. The words "I can't" were not written in any book that Mr. J. Rogers studied. He always The boys and girls are all going up this week, because Mr. Rumage says his friend will be at the museum.

(By Serlp.) We deeply regret that our last letter to the Freeman placed that performance management of the Lafayette theatre, New York City, and with the theatrical profession. What we saw in that letter was that we should not do what We do not accept money for anything that we write, because we feel that as a public should we we stoop to such a practice. Those that we have selected as performers of some peculiar merit, and that we have done so because we felt that in the interest of art itself such a course of performers have accused us of the "up" system, while on the other hand, members of our profession have laughed at us because we would not sell our soul for a few dirty dollars. Every art professional and the more drastic the better. We have no quarrel with the management of the Lafayette theatre. It has long been our hope that that house will be able to continue its session clean. Under Shipp & Corker, and under their immediate successors, the vaudeville offerings were of a high quality and were not a cause to be keenly disappointed. The realization of our discontinuity was one of our reasons for discontinuing our production. We News. We knew how easy it was for a theatrical manager to muzzle the colored press. Nor do we ourselves apologize for the Lafayette theatre. We have never yet made an unqualified statement. The name of one of thir recent headliners is alone proof for our content concern. There has been a change in the editorial department of the New York Times, where he has moved from the head of the sporting and dramatic departments, and one of his contributors, George W. Johnson, under de plume of "Gee Jay," steps into his place. "Gee Jay" has gar coated policy, and has been attacked in his own paper by the mysteries of the sporting editorship of The Amsterdam News, and Lester Walton continues to write about the Lafayette事件 in his own paper. He has reported that Romeo L. Dougherty may return from the West Indies and be a principal investigator to the journalist. A white syndicate is proposing the organization of a theatrical process to be located somewhere in Harlem. This is the day for those who wish to retire from the theatrical profession, to pursue a career as a character artist, weary of art, is preparing herself for the hair dressing profession. It has not been many ages and she has learned to harm the stage might do her soul, embraced religion, and began to convert her beloved Providence. About a year ago she light, but assumed a heavier task. She wished to convert Chicago, and you know Chicago. Miss Wise is back on her job, she manages her store. If what our friend, Sylvester Russel, says is true, Minnie Brown has gone in for the commercial side of literature, she manager of a store. Abby is somewhat as Eddie Foy would like to interpret Shakespeare, is ready to launch herself into concert work. To be fashionable We wish to commend Mr. Cleveland Allen for his sensational attack on the theatre, New York City. Allen realized that words alone would not preclude the formation as Griffith and Tom Dixon, and with the courage of a Monroe Trotter, protested by force. It is an obvious achievement and production of his save through revolutionary means. We have received word that Will Vodery is a better death or sterile. He is Hollywood's most many attempted a revival of "Bandanna Land," the last of the Williams and Walker vehicles. It was an artistic achievement. Lester Land was a revelation. Last summer Jerry Mills revived "Capt. Rufus" at the Peabody Opera, where he libretto that had much beauty and melodramatic strength. Mills himself was masterly in his role, although too young to perform it. Vodery will have success. Hitherto he has displayed rare, insight and judgment that rushed us into something, realizing that it is a long, long way to art. ST. LOUIS, MO., NOTES. (By Herbert T. Meadows.)

Elkins is a very pretty girl, and we are in about 8:30 this morning and at 10 o'clock our tents were up and breakfast fast and then the boys had a shower and then we were some sun weather. We had slight showers in Beckley, Hinton and Marlinton, but not enough to hurt our at- tention. He is moving northward fast and the next two weeks will find us in Ohio and Indiana. I regret to state, failed to learn, that O. H. Kennedy joining us at Sallisbury from Kansas City. When he came he could hardly make it, on account of Mr. Wright, and told him that Henderson could not make it, so he immediately put him on account of O. H. Kennedy enough to go back to Kansas City. Too much praise cannot be spoken of this act of kindness on the part of Mr. Wright, so he could have let the man out without that consideration. A. A. Wright and M. McCarthy in last issue of The Freeman that shows may come and shows may go, but Allen's Minstrels goes on forever, and in last issue of The Freeman that happens to know just how they go." For the actors and musicians' sake I hope O. H. Kennedy is doing through the paper. Jas. Banson is doing nicely singing a "Barnyard Bamboree." Little Rustus Child is cleanest in the dancing. O. H.

Mrs. John Brice is in charge of the meeting with Witherspoon in their special meeting. Mrs. Walter Price, a charter member of the club and one of the founders and most ardent supporters of the camp, will make a statement. Very few colored people in this city and throughout this state are without a Woman's Improvement Club in its fight against the terrible ravages of tuberculosis among women, accomplished, although the work has wrought many hardships upon its faithful promoters. Often from the camp, a woman, on the cawn on Oak Hill studded with THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER its great trees and sanitary tents, these unfortunate persons cut down often in the midst of a youth, have been given a chance to regain health by living in God's out-of-doors, breathing the fresh pure air, eating fresh vegetables, and receiving a trained nurse and best of all, receiving the encouragement and consultation these noble women have endeavored to offer. Is not this a work that all should share in equally? Will you not do your part by attending this series of classes established for the gospel of prevention as well as siding the club in its work of alleviating those already afflicted? It is hoped that the proposed establishment of prevention and cure tuberculosis will make it unnecessary for the club to make this appeal for support in the community, until these hospitals are assured we cannot afford to be derelict in this great duty. Large crowds should attend all of these meetings and a very important response given ever at a sacrifice. Mrs. A. C. Simms is president of the club NEWS OF PORTSMOUTH, OHIO.
