The number of births exceeded only by one the number of deaths which occurred last week In Montgomery. Thirteen white children and twelve negro children were born during the seven days. Seven deaths occurred among the white population of the city and seventeen among the negro population.
 While the number of births among the whites was almost double the number of deaths among the negroes. the number of deaths was almost fif- teen per cent. greater than the num- Der of births.
 If this same comparative rate should be maintained for 100 years the in- crease in the eity's population would be only about 5000 and there would be at the end of that period not . single negro in Montgomery. The natural increase in the white popu- lation would number about 25.00o people, but to offset that the negro population of the city would be de- creasing at an appalling rate.
 No such condition is to be antlci-s pated. however. the past week having been an exception. The element in- troduced Into the city by Immigration would tend to modify materially such a calculation.
 Following is the complete list of births and deaths for the past week
 The following births were reported to the Sanitary Department:
