Near Bern.? New Bern people are
hot in tfie collor over ta#fgures (10,

and claim that an entire cityward has
been left out. Complication of figures
compiled, by the census enumerators
here show thai more than 12,000
names are on the lists compiled here
and tiie district supervisor reported
to a local newspaper some time ago
that the report showed more than 12,
000 names.
It is the contention of local citizens
that ail -entire "ward has been left out
and one man offered to wager $10,000
against $500 that more than 12,000
people can be counted in this city.
In the past ten years the sehooL roll .
has showed an increase of 1,784 pupils
white and colored, yet the census
glges the city an Increase of only 42
peopld in ten. years. No less than one
taundrfed telegrams have been sent to
the director of ths census to the effect
that New Bern has been givan- the
