Census returns from the Southern States of Alabama. Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana and North Carolina show the following rate of increase of whites and blacks : Alabama—Whites, 27 per cent ; negroes, 26 per cent. Arkansas—Whites, 64 per cent. ; negroes, 88 per cent. Georgia—Whites, 27 per cent.; negroes, 32 per cent. Louisiana —Whites, 26 per cent ; negroes, 83 per cent North Carolina—Whites, 29 per cent ; negroes, 33 per cent It will thus be seen that, with the exception of Alabama, the negro race has been increasing more rapidly than the whites in the Southern States. The same fact has also been shown by the census returns of South Carolina and Maryland.
