ARGUS BUREAU,
RALEIGH, Feb. 9, 1895.
The Populists have carried the
day about the county govern
ment squabble and peace reigns
again in the fusion camp. It was
a bitter pill for the Republicans
to swallow but they took it. The
cumulative" system will be en-
bodied in the county government
bill. That the Republicans did
not give up, however. without
getting something in return is
evident. This will be seen when
the public printer is elected on
the 21st. Ten to one he will be
Republican. The populists dis
played a great deal of firmness
in their stand for formulation"
and said that if anybody came
over it would be the Republicans.
The Republicans came.
To-day the monthly health re-
port of the city of Raleigh is be-
ing made out. I send you a sum
mary. The total number of
deaths in January was "a. OF
these 13 were white and II col
ored people. There were three
still births. There were II deaths
reported of children under 5
years of age. The causes of
death reported are interesting
and varied and range flom acci-
dent to consumption. Five
deaths resulted from pneumonia,
brought on by grip" The pro-
portion of deaths to the popula-
tion is one person in every 915.
The white proportion is one in
615 and the colored one in 636.
The report is not as good as
usual, but this is explained by
the very bad weather that pre-
vailed and the prevalence of la
grippe.
