- ■ ^ J. iio NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF HP:ALTH. 103,501, 56,205 wliite and 46,496 colored. The few remarks which follow are based on'this table. The total death-rate for the whites was 14.1 and for the colored 24.5 per thousand. The largest number of deaths was from tuberculosis, the death-rate from that disease alone beinsr 1.67 for the whites and 4.47 for the colored people, the pioportion being 1 white to 2.67 colored. While tuberculosis is niucli more prevalent among the negroes living in the towns, it is becoming more and more common in the country districts, and constitutes, as suggested in our. last report, a very serious menace to the race. In that report we also adverted to the fact that, contrary to the usually accepted opinion that the negro was less susceptible to malarial diseases than the white man, our reports showed the death-rate from that disease to be two and half to one, as against the negro. This fact has only been emphasized by the more accurate report for 1896, the proportion beino; 3.33 to 1 during that year. AVe also called atten-tion to the fact that the negro appeared to be mnch less susceptible to diphtheria than the white man, the total number of deaths for the biennial jjeriod, 1893-'94, being whites 22, colored 0. In 1896 they were 13 and 1 respectively. A letter has been sent to the mayors ot a number of towns which have not heretofore kept mortuary statistics, or at any rate have made no report thereof, urging upon them the importance of keeping such records, and requesting report of the same to be made to this office. It is hoped that they will respond favorably in order that we may have a larger population on Avliich to base our vital statistics hereafter.
