TIE HEALTH OF THE CrTT.-We have again and
again stated that Charleston has never enjoyed
better health than during the past summer and
preseut season. Every care has been taken by the
Board of Hoalth the municipal, and military au-
thorites to place the city in thorough sanitory
condition, and it needs but perusal OF the mortu
arv reports, which are published weekly in the
city papers, to refute any false statement that may
be made We learn that certain parties who are
travelling throughout the State, probably Northern
emissaries are striving to prejudice the country
merchants against Charleston By circulating re-
port Of yellow fever. This rumor has already de-
TERED several merchants from visiting the city, but
our only answer is the published report of DR.. GEO.
s. PE1zER by this it will be seen that but twelve
whites and seventeen blacks died in this city
during the past week, and none OF the deaths were
caused by any epidemic. The mortuary reports
are off ial and authentic and any statement to the
contrary is false and malicious, and originated by
designing parties.
REGISTRATION IN THE CITY AND STATE.-The re-
turns from the different precincts throughout the
State, though not complete, are sufficiently ad-
yanced to form an approximate idea OF the total.
In the City of Charleston, to the 10th lns ant
$3.50 white voters were registered, to 5l0l coored
giving a colored majority Of 1912. THE different
districts Of the State, as far as heard from, give
% 392 whites, to Al, 1856 coored voters; leaving q
majority in favor OF the negroes of 1884. This,
added to the majority in Charleston, will give
them clear majority of 25, ,SO6 in the entire State
1t will be seen, from this statement, that the
blacks outnumber the whites almost two to one,
as but 26 651 white names were enrolled, to s., ,4o7
colored 1t has been said that figures never lie,
and the result shows palpable want Of animation
among the whites. The importance OF promptly
registering has been frequently alluded to III our
columns, and at the eleventh hour we again urge
all white citizens, who have neglected this great
duty, to come forward and register. There is yet
timo, and the country and State alike demand
their services.
