SOUTH AND WEST
ARE SHOWING
GREATEST CENSUS
Washington, April 28.—A growth
of 22.5 per cent in population dur-
ing the last 10 years is shown by
the first 90 cities of 10,000 or more
inhabitants for which enumerations
in the 1930 census have been an-
nounced.
This first indication of the trend
of the country’s population is fur-
nished by a compilation made by the
Associated Press from the official
preliminary announcements of su-
pervisors throughout the country.
The country’s growth as a whole
in the decade ending with 1925 was
14.9 per cent, while in the previous
decade ending with 1915 it was 21.0
per cent. Growth of the country’s
urban population, that is people liv-
ing in places of 2,500 or more in-
habitants, showed an increase of 25.7
in the decade ending with 1920, and
for the previous decade it was 34.8
per cent.
Only one of the country’s larger
cities has reported thus far. It is
Atlanta, which reported 266,557 peo-
ple, an increase of 35.6 per cent over
1920.
Of the cities thus far reporting,
the largest percentages of increase
have been shown by Ventura, Cal.,
with 186,3 per cent; Lakeland, Fla.,
with 130.2 per cent, and Decatur,
Ga., with 121.2 per cent. Cities show-
ing 50 per cent or more increase in
the 10 years are mostly in the South
and West, None with that large an
increase has been reported yet in the
East. Half a dozen cities have shown
decreases from 10 years ago. Three
of these are in the East, including
Fall River, Mass., which showed a
decline of 5.3 per cent and now has
114,348 people, and three are in^ the
Southwest.
There were 746 cities of 10,000 or
more population in 1920. Cities in
that category are expected to show
a considerable increase in the pres-
ent census. Several already have
entered the 10,000 class, including
Longview, Wash., which was not in
existence in 1920, and now has 10,-
491 people.
downpours that broke an unusual
spring drouth. In Hunt county no
damage had been reported, the ef-
fects of the rain being very benefi-
cial to crops and to farmers in pro-
viding needed stock water.
Garland, Carrollton, Cleburne,
Grapevine, Lisbon, Richardson and
Waco reported hailstorms of greater
or less intensity. The hailstorm
near Garland was particularly de-
structive, devastating crops on a
stretch more than a mile wide and
doing considerable damage to roofs
in the city of Garland. Several Green-
ville cars were caught in the Gar-
land hailstorm, among them those
of Martin McBride, Billie Middleton
and Guy Baird. Tops of the cars
were ruined by hail stones larger
than hen’s eggs that crashed
through, reminiscent of the severe
storm that visited Dallas several
years ago.
The southbound Katy Flyer was
reported tied up at Garland late
Saturday night, while the northbound
Katy, scheduled to arrive in Green-
ville at 12:28 o’clock this (Sunday)
morning, was routed from Dallas to
Greenville via the Cotton Belt line,
due to a washout on the Katy near
Garland.
A terrific fall of rain was report
ed between Caddo Mills and Royse
City, the water falling so fast that
it reached the floor level for several
houses along the Dallas-Greenville
highway. Northern sections of the
county reported heavy falls of rains,
too, these sections getting a rain
early Saturday afternoon that missed
Greenville.
In Greenville the rainfall amounted
to .91 inches, and no damage was
reported, though lightning early
Saturday afternoon struck a power
line near the King Opera House.
Reports to the L. R. & N. late Sat
urday night said; that the rain had
then extended as far east as Hughes
Springs and as far south as Waco,
with hailstorms at a number of
places.
the casual visitor who stumbles
on the modest column may - learn
from its inscription that “On This
Spot Lord Cornwallis, Command-
ing British Forces, Surrendered to
General Washington, 19 October
1781.”
Here echoed the ancient British
air of “The World Turned Upside
Down” that crisp October morning,
149 years ago. Here, on this spot
General Greene received from the
reluctant hands of General O’Hara
the sword of Lord Cornwallis,
while that crestfallen dignitary
sulked in his tent under a plea of
illness. Here was enacted the final
scene of the struggles of the Con-
tinental troops for freedom from
British dominion, the prologue of the
drama having been recited at Wil-
liamsburg, Virginia, on May 15,
1776, when the Virginia Convention
passed a resolution, instructing its
delegates to declare the United Col-
onies free from domination by the
Crown.
Surrender Monument was raised
in 1895 by'John W. Shaw, of Mary-
land, then Superintendent of the
National Cemetery at Yorktown,
and a veteran of the Union Army,
after a thorough search through
the records and archives at Wash-
ington, to ascertain the exact spot
upon which the surrender took
place. He erected the monument
with his own hands, choosing the
materials which particular reference
to their historical significance.
The base upon which the obelisk
rests is of sandstone, brought from
point near Cornwallis’ Cave,
where tradition has it that the
English general hid during the
bombardment of his fortifications
by American artillery. English
bricks, taken from the foundation
of' the old colonial courthouse at
Yorktown, comprise the shaft, which
is plastered with German cement,
symbolic of the Hessian mercenaries,
upon whom the Crown’s forces lean-
ed heavily. The shaft is painted
red to represent the blood of the
colonists which flowed over the land
for the principle of independence.
On Oct. 19, 1895, one hundred
and fourteen years after the me-
morable day, the little monument
was dedicated with simple ceremony
to the school children of America.
CHURCHES SHOW
300,000 INCREASE
IN UNITED STATES
MARINE CORPS
COMMANDER IN
DIG WAR DEAD
New York, April 26-—Churches in
the United States gained 300,000
members last year, a startling de-
crease from the “million gain” of
1928, but more in keeping with the
ratio of increase of previous years,
according to the annual church cen-
sus of the Christian Herald.
For the first time since the Civil
war the Methodist Episcopal church
records a loss of members, amount-
ing t0 25,000. Methodist denomina-
tions as a whole had a net loss of but
2,440. Baptist denominations, which
gained 300,000 in 1928, show a gain
of 53,000 for 1929. The Roman
Catholic growth in 1928—360,153—
shrank to 77,307 last year, but the
smaller increase is qualified as being
the result of some dioceses failing to
report. J
Total membership of the churches
in 1929 was 50,006,566 as compared
with 49,706,147 the previous year-
None of the major denominations
changed its relative position during
the war.
The survey showed a slight in-
crease in the total number of minis-
ters and a slight decrease in the
number of churches.
The numerical strength of the de-
nominations was given as follows:

OLD SURRENDER
MONUMENT STANDS
AT YORKTOWN
Three pioneer citizens of Hopkins
county met Sunday afternoon when
J. If. McClimons, Mrs. Henry Nance
and Mrs. Billie Master saw each oth-
er again. They each lived at Brinker
in the year 1880 and are the only
three people now living among those
living there and married, at that
time. Mr. McClimons is 87, Mrs
Nance is 86 and Mrs. Masters is 91
They had a most pleasant reunion
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Brumley, and discussed old times in
the Brinker neighborhood, more than
fifty .years ago.
Newport News, Va., April 28.
Almost within the shadow of the
magnificent centennial monument at
Yorktown, Va., erected in 1881 by the
United States Government in recog-
nition of the birth of the republic
rises a slender red obelisk, its shaft
half obscured by a tangle of wild
blackberry vines, its base hidden in
a thicket of young sassafras sap
lings.
Two dusty wheel tracks lead to
the shrine from the main highway,
less than 100 yards distant, and
Mrs. Rosa Moore who has been se-
riously ill at the Williams boarding
house on North Davis street, is im-
proving.

The original home of the banana
is believed to have been in India,
where it has been cultivated from re-
motest antiquity. Even before the
time of written history, the edible
banana had been spread over the old
world by cultivation and other agen-
cies, from Southern Asia westward
to Africa and eastward to the islands
of the Pacific. Bas-reliefs on the
monuments of ancient Assyria and
Egypt indicate its early culture. The
first known importation of the ba-
nana into the United States was in
the late sixties. As late as 1879 the
banana was looked upon as some-
what of a curiosity in the United
States.—Detroit News.

DALLAS AND FORT
WORTH PARTIES REFUSE
BUDGE FROM POSITION
Temple, Tex., April 27.—Rivalry
between residents of Dallas and Ft.
Worth was exemplified in a new way
here Saturday.
It all happenen when a party from
Dallas met a party from Fort Worth
at a filling station on West Adams
avenue. An automobile carrying
one of the parties blocked the path
of the other car as it was leaving
the station.
Each party recognized the other,
and for two hou'rjs sat in their re-
spective cars, refusing to budge so
that one might pass the other.
Finally officer John Guinn took a
hand after an amused crowd had
gathered.
“You look like normally intelli-
gent men,” the officer said. “You’re
not from Bell county because there
isn’t a man here who won’t givd^and
take. Now you drive around each
other and move on or I’ll move you
both.”
They moved.
Washington, April 28.—Major
Gen. George Barnett, 70, command-
ant of the Marine Corps from 1914
to 1920, died here late Sunday of
pneumonia.
The General, who retired in 1923,
had been in ill health for some time.
He died at the Navy Hospital.
He had served with the marines
since 1881, when he graduated from
the Naval Academy. He saw service
at virtually every post held by the
marines in this country and in the
Philippines, Samoa, Cuba, Porto Rico
and Peiping, He spent eighteen years
on ships at sea or in foreign ports.
The high point in the life of Gen
eral Barnett came when he found
himself in command of the Marine
Corps upon the entry of the United
States into the World War.
Although he could not be on the
firing line in France, he was held re-
sponsible for the preparedness of that
branch of America’s armed forces,
and much credit was given him for
having the marines in condition to
render the Nation such signal serv-
ice.
In addition to directing the corps,
he was, during the war, a member of
the general board of the navy and of
the Secretary of the Navy’s advisory
council, in those capacities having-
much to do with the mapping of plans
and direction of policy in the win-
ning- of the war.
Born Dec. 9, 1859, at Lancaster,
Wis., General Barnett was appointed
to the Naval Academy from that
State.
Honored by France.
For his service as head of the Ma-
rine Corps during the war France
conferred upon him the Legion of
Honor and the United States the
Distinguished Service Medal. He
also held the Cuabn campaign medal,
the Spanish campaign medal, the
Western Indian medal and the Vic-
tory medal.
General Barnett was made head of
the Marine Corps Feb. 25, 1914, just
prior to the outbreak of the war in
Europe, and he continued in that post
until June 30, 1920. Later he served
as commander of the Marine Corps
Pacific department.
In 1908 he was married to Mrs.
Basil Gordon, formerly Miss Lelia
Montague of Baltimore.

MILLIONS OF POUNDS
\ USED BY OUR GOVERNMENT
Clarksville, Texas, April 28. —
Baker, 19, Saturday was charged
with the murder in the slaying of
his -mother, Friday night.
Mrs. Baker, whose husband died a
few weeks ago, was killed instantly
by a charge from a shotgun. The
shot was fired into the woman’s
head as she drove into the yard of
her home three miles southwest of
Avery, Red River county. She was
sitting in a wagon beside another
son.
The youth, who was placed in jail
here, will be given an examining
trial next week, according to Justice
of the Peace Clark.
The slaying was said to be the
culmination of differences between
the mother and son over the division
of a small amount of property left
by the father of the youth, county
officers said.
Baker was under treatment Sat-
urday from injuries inflicted by his
brother, who tore the shotgun from
his hands and struck him bver the
head with it,
Mr. and Mrs. Baker, although not
divorced, had been living apart, and
George had been living with his
father, near Avery, until his father’s
death, while Mrs. Baker lived with
Barney on an adjoining farm.
George told officers-his mother
Friday drove away a cow left by his
father, and also hauled a load of cot-
ton seed to Barney’s home. The
shooting occurred, he said, when she
returned about 4 p. m. Friday and
prepared to take away a crib of corn
and household goods.
“I told told her to leave that stuff
alone. Papa told me I could have it
before he died,” officers quoted the
youth as saying.
WEAK. NERVOUS
Mississippi Lady Says She Felt
Stronger, Better After
Taking Cardui.
Greenwood, Miss.—Mrs. W. D.
Taylor, of 1313 Carrollton Avenue,
this city, has written of her use of
Cardui as follows:
“About five years ago, I was in
ill health. I suffered a great deal
of pain in my sides and in the
lower part of my body. I was weak
and nervous, and at the least noise
I felt like I must scream.
“At times I would have to go to
bed. My head would ache. It
would take me three or four days
to get over these spells.
• “A friend told me to take Cardui,
which I did. After my first bottle,
I saw some improvement. When I
had taken three bottles, I felt
stronger and better than I had in
some time. I did not have any
more of those bad spells.
“I certainly recommend Cardui.”
Thousands of other women rec-
ommend Cardui, after having found
it of*valuable assistance to them
in building up their health.
Cardui is a purely vegetable medi-
cine, and contains nothing harmful.
The medicinal value of the herbs
from which Cardui is extracted have
been well-known in the history of
medicine for more than six hun-
dred years.

DELETIONS IN
NEW BIBLE ARE
BEING MADE
Chicago, 111., April 28.—In the lib-
rary of one of Chicago’s citizens,
there rests a work which he has just
completed after three years of labor
a Bible from which all matter
which might be construed as objec-
tionable has been deleted.
It is the work of Frank R. Chan-
dler, and the 89 year old editor-
calls the result of his labor the
“Twentieth Century Bible.” In this
volume, the story of Noah’s over-
indulgence in wine after the reces-
sion of the flood, as well as the
accounts of the immoralities of
Abraham, Pharoah, Lot and his two
daughters, and the account of the
affair between King David and
Sheba, the wife of Uriah, the Hit-
tite, are among the Old Testament
stories which Chandler has cen-
sored. He says he does not believe
them to be particularly edifying
even to the Bible student.
Many pages of geneological in-
formation likewise have been re-
moved from the original King
James version by Chandler; and
the story of the world’s earliest at-
tempts’ at rejuvenation, recounted
in the Book of Kings, is another
deletion.
For the Bible student only, is the
separately published Index Expur-
gatorious, which contains all the
deletions.
In addition there is a supplemen-
tary .index in which are listed all
of the Bible stories which the cen-
sor alludes to as ‘favorable.” In-
cluded also are synopsis of the
Old apd the New Eestament, a list
of the lost books of the Bible, the
books of the Apochrypha, and
much other information of a sim-
ilar nature.
Chandler, during his lifetime, has
assembled an extensive assortment of
Bibles. Some of them are family
hairlooms and one in particular
which he has ordered burned after
his death, is a Bible “comically il-
lustrated,” evidently the work of an
atheist.
