I50 BULLETIN OF THE NORTH CAROLINA BOARD OF ^HEALTH. would I ask your favorable consideration of the measure providing a system of registration of births, marriages, and deaths in Tennessee. All the more enlightened States and Nations of the world possess such statistics, and find them as essential to good government. This is a long felt want in Tennessee, and as we are fast becoming a very populous State the necessity for such data is daily becoming more imperative. It became imperatively necessary during the late yelloA^ .fever epidemic, which approached our borders with such fearful menace, to use extraordinary quarantine precaution, and such ganger not being for-^seen and provided for by appropriation, I was forced, in order to protect the people, to order the sum of two thousand dollars placed at the disposal of the State Board of Health, and the success of their effort was a gratifying demonstration of the wisdom of the act. The expenditure was made at the urgent requtt>t of the State Board of Health and by the concurrent advice of the Treasurer and Comptroller, I recommend that your honorable bodies ratify my action and make an appropriation not only to cover the expenditure, but to provide for future contingency, such appropriation to be held in reserve only for such dangerous and imminent necessity as that just experienced. Summary of Reports from County Ssperinten-dent^ of Health and Correspondents for the Month of January, 1889. Alamance,—Dr. George W. Long, Graham. There has been an epidemic of influenza in this county, complicated with some pneumonia. There has been no epidemic among domestic animals. The sanitary condition of the public buildings is as good as the buildings will permit. Court house will be repaired very soon ; material ready. Alexander.—Br. H. McD. Little. Taylors-ville. Measles have prevailed in the middle and eastern portions of the county. There has been no epidemic of any sort among domestic animals. The general sanitary condition of the county is splendid, with the exception of measles, which is prevailing in two townships. After all of the material is used up in the townships above alluded to, it will have to die in this county for want of material, as a former epidemic swept the other portions of the county. The general sanitary condition of the public buildings is as good as their construction will allow. The poor-house is to have two new rooms added to it to separate the black from the white inmates. As/ie.—Di\}. W. Colvard, Jefferson. No epidemic has prevailed in any portions of the county, neither has there been an epidemic of any character among domestic animals. The general sanitary condition of the county is better than it has been for some time, but we have had some pneumonia. Our public buildings are in fair sanitary condition, and that of the jail will be better soon. Alleghany,—No Board of Health organized. Anson.—No Board of Health organized, Beaufort.—Dr. Wm. A. Blount, Washington. It has been unusually healthy in the county as compared with previous years. There has been no epidemic among domestic animals. The poor-house is well ventilated and kept in good sanitary condition. The jail was built prior to the late war and is not properly ventilated. It is, however, kept in as cleanly a condition as possible. Bertie,—No Board of Health organized. Bladen,—No Board of Health organized. Brunswick,—Dr. D. D. McNeill, supply. No report received for this month, Bttrke.—No Board of Health organized. Buncombe,—Dr. H. B. Weaver, Asheville, There has been no epidemic of diseases among domestic animals. The general sanitary condition of the county is remarkably good. wiXh the exception of a little catarrhal trouble. All
