126 NORTH CARO.LINA BOARD OF HEALTH. Oils sections of the towns, and that owing to their poverty thej do not receive prompt and thorough treatment, we think the mixed blood of most of them should he considered. The thorough-bred pure black negro is doubtless less susceptible to malaria than the white man, but such negroes are comparatively rare in our urban ])opulation. This, according to the theory of Dr. King that only those whose skins are so deeply pigmented as to ])revent the pass^ige of light are immune, nuiy be the explanation of our figures. Diphtheria.—According to onr reports for many years the negro seemed to be almost immune to diphtheria, but in the past two years this apparent hick of susceptibility has not been so pronounced, although the nnniber of deaths from this disease remains proportionately mucli less among the negroes than among the whites. J'ucumonia comes next in fatality to diarrhoeal diseases, whicli are a trifle behind consumption. In 1901 the total number of deaths from Ducumonia was 241—white 122, colored 110, representing respectively a death rate per thousand of population of 1.5 anil 2.2. In 1902, total 272— white 123, colored 149, or 1.8 and 2.4 per thousand. Consumption continues our most fatal disease. The total mimbor of deaths in 1901 was 2S5>—white 110, colored 173, or 1.5 and 3.25 per thonsand respectively. In 1902, 394— white 173, colored 221, or 1.9 and 3.6 per thousand, the proportion between the two races remaining much the same as heretofore. Suicide.—The negro is <>-enerallv much less "iven to takine* his own life than the white man, yet in 1901, altliough the colored population of the State is only one-third of the whole, the total number of colored suicides was 3, as against only 2 among double the number of whites. In 1902, however, the figures were 11 whites and 2 colored. 'I'he general i)revalence of some of the more prominent acnte diseases throughout the iState, as shown by tlie average
