TWELFTH BIENjNTIAL REPORT. 19 the necessary abandonment of one or more locations fixed upon, owuv^ to the inability to secure a sound title, finally resulted in the selection and purchase of as nearly an ideal site as can well be imagined. Situated in the sandhills of Cumberland County, about eight miles from Aberdeen, it is traversed by the Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad, and is, therefore, easy of access. The purchase contains about nine hundred acres, and its highest point, which has been selected for the location of the buildings, overlooks a wide panoramic view of at least three-fourths of a circle of miles upon miles of rolling pine forest. Work has been begun on the buildings, and it is hoped, I am told by Dr. Brooks, the Superintendent, that patients c;ni be received in the early fall. The International Congress on Tuberculosis, which is to meet in Washington, September 21st to October 12th. is an event of worldwide interest and will well repay a visit. I hope that many of our health ofiicers and physicians will attend. Smallpox has been slightly more prevalent than during the preceding year, the record being 2,011 cases, with 8 deaths, against 1,968 cases and G deaths in 190G-U:»7. During the past year the disease has been much more prevalent among the whites than among the negroes, which is just the reverse of the year before. To state it accurately: In 190G-'07 there were 620 white cases, with 2 deaths, and 1,348 colored cases, with 4 deaths; while during the past year there were 1,168 white cases, with 6 deaths, and 843 colored cases, with 2 deaths. The number of counties infected was just the same in each year—18. Owing to its continued mildness, and the fact that it has become such an old story—just ten years old—it produced little concern and practically no interference with business. The following is a tabulated statement, by counties: SMALLPOX REPORT, FROM MAT 1, 1807, TO MAY 1, 1908. Counties.
