Washington
Letter…From Our Regular Correspondent, from the Fisherman and Farmer, Elizabeth City, Thursday, Sept. 19, 1901. Ethnology is a branch of anthropology.
Washington, Sept. 16th, 1901—The Census bulletins
grouping the population of the states by nativity, race, etc., have been made
public and contain some rather interesting information on the race question.
The negro population of the country is 11.7 per cent of the total, practically
the same as in 1890. The white population has increased, undoubtedly, by
several millions of immigrants. This indicates that the negro is not dying out
as some ethnologists have claimed, but is holding his own and perhaps a little
more.
