cent, while the
corresponding increase of the Negro population was 9,914, or 41.4 per
cent. In San Antonio there were 146,795 whites and 14,355 Negroes. In
1910 there were 85,801 whites and 10,716 Negroes. The increase in the
white population since 1910 was 60,924, or 71.1 per cent, while the
corresponding increase in the Negro population was 3,639, or 34 per
cent.

West Virginia, economically a part of the North or West rather than of
the South, showed tendencies directly opposite to those of that
section to which it is historically connected. In 1920 the State had
1,377,235 whites and 86,345 Negroes. The corresponding figures for
1910 were 1,156,817 whites and 64,173 Negroes. The white population
increased by 19.1 per cent while the Negro population increased by
34.6 per cent. The city of Huntington had 47,279 whites and 2,890
Negroes, whereas in 1910 the figures were 29,009 whites and 2,140
Negroes. The increase in the white population since 1910 was 18,270,
or 63 per cent, while the corresponding increase in the Negro
population was 750, or 35 per cent. Wheeling had 54,579 whites and
1,619 Negroes. In 1910 the figures were 40,433 whites and 1,201
Negroes. The increase in the white population since 1910 was 14,146,
or 35 per cent, while the corresponding increase in the Negro
population was 418, or 34.8 per cent.

The effect of the migration in the North and West will be interesting
also. The census showed a decidedly large increase in the population
in the important industrial States just beyond the line of the North
and South. In the North and West there were 1,550,754 Negroes, whereas
there were only 1,078,336 in 1910, the increase being 472,448, or at
the rate of 43.8 per cent. In the extremely northern and north-western
portions of the country the Negro population was not affected
otherwise than normally. New England had 66,306 Negroes in 1910 and
79,051 in 1920. The increase was 12,745. The increase and the decrease
in the Negro population of these States does not mean very much in
percentage because of the very small number of Negroes in that
section. For example, the increase in the Negro population of
Connecticut, the State most affected thereby, was 5,872, which in the
form of a percentage would mean 38.7 per cent. The state had only
21,046 Negroes in 1920 as compared with 15,174 in 1910. The Negro
population of New Hampshire, moreover, increased from 564 in 1910 to
621 in 1920, meaning an increase of 10
