VOLUME 68
I Census
Change
While the population of Warren
County decreased nearly
4.000 from 1950 to 1960, the
white to colored ratio remained
virtually unchanged .
during the ten-year period.
This was revealed in a breakdown
of population figures by
townships received this week
from Congressman L. H. Fountain
by request of this newsi**
paper.
In 1950 the white population
of Warren County, according to
census figures for that year,
was 33.6 per cent. In 1960
t the figures were 35.4, an increase
of 1.8 per cent among
the white citizens.
For all practical purposes
the white-colored ratio in Warren
County in 1950 was two
Negroes to one white and in
1960 it is still that figure.
In 1950 only one township in
the county, River, contained
more white persons than Negroes,
and the trend in this
township continued upward a
few per cent in the 1960 census.
In 1960 there were two
townships in the county with
a white majority as Smith
ureeic increased tne wdlte-colored
ratio from 49.2 per cent
to 53.3 per cent.
On the other hand, two townships,
Hawtree and Nutbush,
showed an increase in the Negro
ratio to white, but Shocco

brothers?John and Gene
?had lined the service station
and gotten into his car
when a man wearing a handkerchief
across his mouth
[walked up to the car. He
stuck a shotgun into the car
and told Wilson, "This is a
holdup." Wilson grabbed the
gun barrel but the would-be
robber Jerked the gun away
