While the winters are mild, killing frosts are apt to occur from November to March inclusive, and the normal mean tem- perature for the months of December, January, and February is about 42° F. The total population of the county is 83,465. Spartanburg, with a population of 17,517, is the only city in the county, the remaining population (65,948) being distributed upon farms, in cotton-mill villages, and among eleven small towns, only two of which have over 1000 inhabitants. The density of population, as a whole, is 109 per square mile; for the rural population (that is, outside of Spartanburg City) it is 86.5. While in South Carolina, as a whole, the negroes form 55 per cent, of the total population, in Spartanburg County the whites predominate numerically in the proportion of somewhat over two whites to one negro—there being a white popu- lation of 57,055, and 26,410 negroes—the percentage being 68.4 per cent, whites and 31.6 per cent, negroes.
