There can be no doubt as to the significance of these figures. The 

 immense losses the State has hitherto sustained in the migration of her 

 natives to other States, is rapidly lessening, especially as regards the 

 white population. Natives of South Carolina are found in every State 

 and Territory of the Union, not excepting Alaska. They are met with 

 in the largest number in the following States, varying in the order here 

 named, from 50,000 to 11,000: Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, 

 Florida, North Carolina, Arkansas and Tennessee. Natives of each 

 State and Territory of the Union, except Alaska and Washington Terri- 

 tory, are found in South Carolina ; the largest number are from North 

 Carolina, 17,297; Georgia, 7,641; Virginia, 4,158; New York, 1,070.
