which tbe Uniformed Rank will meet sepa

Twenty years ago, at tho close of the war,
there were In the Southern States 8,947,00.
colored people, and now there are more thai
7,000.000. Then there were In Mlsslsslpp
820,000 negroes, now 650,000; then then
were In South Carolina 400,000, now mort
than 600.000. Fire hundred colored babies
are born In the United States every day.
The colored population of the United States
doubles every twenty years; the white popu
