 THE DEATHS August Showing Good
 For City. BIRTHS ARE 80; DEATHS, g Net Increase of 28 in Population of
 Montgomery. July Report showeS Seventeen More People Dying Than were Born, But Figures Were Reversed
 During August.

The August report of the Sanitary Department, in the excess of births over the number of deaths. is one of the best reports that has been com- piled by the department in a number of months. It shows a remarkable con- dition as compared with the report of the month previous, the deaths being fewer by twenty eight. and the births for August exceeding the July births by seventeen. The July report showed that during the thirty-one days there were eighty deaths and sixty-three births in which the deaths were in the excess by sev- enteen. The August report which has just been compiled shows that during the last thirty-one days the deaths numbered only fifty-two. while the births recorded reached to the eighty mark. From these figures 1t is seen that August deaths were less by twen- ty-eight than the July deaths, and that the August births exceeded the July births by seventeen.
 4 feature of the August report is that the number of male and female deaths exactly counterbalance each other. Of the fifty-two deaths, twenty-seven were whites, and twenty-five negroes. How ever. the report shows that the num- Der of white male deaths were exactly twice the number of white female deaths, while more than twice the number of negro male deaths was the number of negro female deaths The report is:
 White male deaths, 1s; white female deaths, 9; negro male deaths, S; negro female deaths, IT.
 More males were born than females, the total number of males being forty two and the total number of females being thirty-eight The white males exceeded the white males by four, while the same number of negro males and females was born. The report is as NfolIowss
