Why kind sir, cannot the citizens of Granville's capital display this pride as the citizens of Washing ton, our one common capital. While it is not. necessary to rear pnlaces and embellish grounds with tropical plants to entice. strangers to dwell in our midst- Yet it is neceFsary to maintain pride in the appearance, and show we believe cleanliness is next to Godliness.

The very excessive death rate among the negroes is too well known to require the citation of of statistical reports to establish the fact Tho excess is greatest in consumption and pneumonia. ' Take Charleston. ! From 1882-85 inclusive, there was S30 deaths ' from consumption anion; the negroes, while among the whites the number was 244. In Nash ville, Savannah and Memphis the reports show a greater death rate among tho colored than among the whites from con sumption. The mortality from pneumonia is also very much greater among the negroes than among the whites. Charleston ghows for the same years given above 219 colored to 85 white; Memphis, 262 to 159; Savannah, 1C0 to GO; Naslmlla, 153 to 100. The causes aro believed to bo improvidence and want of cleanliness. Their dwellings and manner of living and personal habits invite these very destruc tive diseases. They flock togeth er and the air is vitiated. They also eat decaying vegetables and f ruitj which are very hurtful and dangerous. ihen again, so many are left unattended ia sick ness by a qualified physieian.and many have no medical attondence whatever. In 1885, in Savannah, 7 white? and 145 - blacks died without having any medical at tendance; in 1S83, 6 whites 145 blacks. This is shocking.

In Transyl vania couuty a number of poor men, many ot whom travel only on foot and along the mountain (reshing paths, were busy working the public roads. All day long they labored. Ilurd work it was, and work for which they received, di rectly or indirectly not a cent.

Among native Africaus scrofula is very rarely found. Immorality is bc lieved to be one of the causes of the extent of scrofula. The greatest contrast in mortal ity is.among children under five veais of age. All of the South ern cities show a great disparity. i?'or instance, in Charleston the, relative death rate of white and black children under five was as follows: : 1S3, white 5.83, blacks 21.03; 1884, while 6.48 blacks 16- 52; 1885, white 4.45, blacks 14.38. Memphis, Savannah and Nash ville all showed similar results. The Sanitarian says, and it is worth attention: "The ministers from their pul pits should urge their flocks to' abandon those things which cause this great mortality, and should instruct them to give more atten tion to their bodily welfare as a duty due alike to God and their neighbor?. .
