The Augusta COnstitutiOnalist says tina
the singular mortality among the colore'
people of Charleston, S. c., suggests al
inquiry as to its cause. The population
of the city is 25,0OO white and $4,000 col
ored. In the two years, 1906 tn
white deaths were 1892, the colored
2,584-exactly double. In the case c
children the mortality was nearly thre
times what it was among the whites
Medical attendance is as free in Charles
ton as anywhere; but the blacks huddl
together, work as little as possible, an
fail a prey to disease. AT this rate til
whites will soon outnumber the blacks.
