What section of North Carolina .'a most healthful T That distinction appears to go to the .mountain counties of the north western part of the State. WLether or not the climate is most conducive to health in that section, there are fewer deaths in those counties in proportion to population than else where in the State. This is shown by figures compiled by the bureau of vital statistics of the State Board of Health and contained in that bureau's annual report' just published. The figures . show that of 27 coun ties having fewer than 10 deaths in 1924 per thousand population, seven were in the mountainous northwest ern section of the State. Those coun ties sire - Avery, Ashe, Yancey, Al exander, Alleghany, Yadkin, and Surry. Avery county last year had the second lowest death rate of any in the State, the lowest death rate be ing that in Graham, another moun tain county, but in the southwestern part of the State. A slightly higher death rate is reported in Ashe and Yancey, with exactly the same death rate, these two counties standing third from the top of counties in low death rate.
