It surprised many North Caro
lians to know that there are 9,345
more women iu this State than men.
We had somehow 'or other gotten
the idea that in New. England the
women predominated in number but
that in the South the males were
more numerous; The rensus dis
perses that notion, and gives as the
figures showing that there are 9.
346 more women in North Carolina
than men. .The figures are:Females,
1107.816: 'males, 1098,471., This
means that if eveiy man should find
a mate there would be 9,345 women
who would find bo mate. There are
only five states in the Union in
which the women outnumber the
