MANY FOREIGNER!! IN
THE UNITEO STATES
One Out Ot Everv Seven
People Were Born Outride
ot the Countrv.
Washington. Nov 2>. The
number of people of European
birth and parentage who live in
the United States is strikingly
brought home in a statement
prepared by the National Geo
graphic society, which is keeping
its membership of nearly 1.1 Mi"
informed concerning the geogra
phical phrases of the war in
Europe. The statement is as
follows:
"One person out of every seven
in the United States was born
outside of our borders. We have
todav l;?. 500,000 of foreign birth
with us, and nearly all of them
are from Europe. They consti
tute a population approximately
equal to the combined popula
tions of Belgium and Holland, or
of Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and Switzerland.
"We have in this country one
sixth as many Canadians as there
are in Canada, a half million
more Germans than there are in
Berlin, enough Irish to populate
fmr cities like Ihibiin, enough
Italians to people three Homes.
We have almost as many Pais
si ins as there are Petrograd, and
twice as many Austro-Hungar
ians as there are in Budapest.
"In addition to our foreign
born population we have nearly
19.OOU.tHM) children of immigrants
in the United States. Counting
these, we have as many Hermans
in the United States as there are
in Bavaria and Aisace-Loreaine
together: more Russians than
there are in the province of
Bessarabia: more Irish than are
in Ireland: and more than half as
many Italians as there are in
Sicily. We could populate a city
like Chicago with our Kngiish
born and their children, duplicate
the citv of Vienna with our Aus
trian-born and their children, and
more than duplicate all the cities
of Sweeden having a population
of more than 10.000, with our
Swedish-born and their children.
"Approximately five and a
luarter million people came to
the I nited States to stay during
t.he decade between I?mm i and
1910. History records no other
such great migration as this.
Compared with it the Tatar in
vasion of Russia, the Saracen in
vasion of southern Europe, and
the exodus of the children of
Israel were insignificant in num
bers.
"The character of the annual
infiux of new blood from Europe
has undergone a very remarkable
change in recent decades. Dur
ing the decade of IKBI-IS9O the
tide of humanity from Europe
brought us 1,452,000 Germans
and 307.000 Italians. The decade
of 1901-1910 brought 341,000
Germans and 2,045,000 Italians.
The figures well indicate the fall
ing off of immigration from
northwestern Europe and the
rise of the tide from southwest
ern Europe.
"Taking the immigrant popu-:
Jation of the United States and!
their children, we find that their
number totals 32,000,000 for 1910,
or slightly more than one-third j
of our entire population. If there
be included the grandchildren of
immigrants it appears probable
that more than half of the peo

ill Oak Ridge
Greensboro. Nov. 28. Martin
H. Holt, one of the principals of
Oak Ridge Institute, died at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon at his home
at Oak Ridge at the age of 59
years. Prof. Holt had been ill
many months with chronic heart
1 trouble and bright's disease. He
!is survived by his widow. Mrs.
' Mary Lambeth Holt, and daugh
ter. Mrs. J. T. Bennett, of San
Diego. California, and son. John
Harvey Holt, of Oak Ridge.
Prof. Holt was one of the most;
brilliant educators the State has,
produced in the last half century |
and with his brother. J. Alan
Holt, has made of the institute a
powerful influence in the edu- :
cational life of the State. The ;
! fame of the institute has been'
j widecast. At one time he was a
I member of the State Legislature i
' from Guilford.
I At the time his death he was
i president of the board of direc
| tors of the State institute for the j
1 deaf at Morganton. on which >
board he served more than a,
quarter of a century,
i Prof. Holt spent some time at j
Clifton Springs, N. V., in the
interest of his health. He later
went to the Pacific coast but was
not materially benefitted. His
physicians advised him several
weeks ago that he had better re
turn to Oak Ridge if he wished
|to spend his remaining days at
home.

: December Ist Opening
Sales flay in Kentucky 1
i
All of the Burley and dark to
bacco sales markets of Kentucky j
are shaping everything to beirin
sales Tuesday, December Ist.
and the farmers are over anxious j
to sell, which will relieve many |
of them who are in need ofj
money to pay their obligations of,
loans and to purchase the neces- ]
sities to fit their families out for j
the winter's hardships. There
is some stripping being done, but,
the weather conditions have been
unfavorable this month and the
getting tobaco -eady for market
has been limited. In some loca
lities one and n half to two dollars
a day is being'paid for stripping j
so anxious are the planters to sell 1
to meet their personal wants. ;
The uppermost question that is !
being asked is. "Will Burl >y sell j
high?" but no one even ventures
a guess, although the general
opinion is that it will not bring
last year's prices. A 2.000 pound
crop has been sold in Garrard
[ county for ten cents a round.

Deafaess Cannot Be Cured
i by local applications, as they can- 1
1 not reach the diseased portion of i
! the car. There is only one way
;to cure deafness, and that by!
: constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
1 the Eustachian Tube. When this
: tube is inrtamed you have a rum- j
bling sound or imperfect hearing. :
: and when it is entirely closed, j
Deafness is the result, and unless;
: the inflammation can be taken I
out and this tube restored to its j
normal condition, hearing will be i
destroyed forever: nine case out!
of ten are caused by Catarrh.!
j which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol-
I lars for any case of Deafness I
(caused by catarrh) that cannot 1
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
