y United States census report re-
ceived by DR.. J. F. Kennedy, city
health officer. Friday shows Atlanta
to have the lowest death rate of any
city of its size and class in the South,
with the single exception of Nash
Vile. Nashvile's death rate is 1871
per 1000 population, or two-tcnths
lower than the rate in Atlanta
The report gives the white ana
negro death rates separate, tho negro
being much higher in every case. and
raising the average for the total
population in every Southern city.
The rates Of number of the Larger
cities are here given. the ration being
the number of deaths to the 1000
population:
Atlanta, 1879, white 15,5, negro 25,5;
New Orleans, 2l3 white 172, negro
32.7; Memphis. 21.4, white 1853. negro
28.4; Richmond, 22.6. white 1871, ne
gro S0.3; Nashville, 1871, white Is,
negro 26 Birmingham, 1875, white
149, negro 26.5, Montgomery, 26.4.
white ia, negro 35.2; Charleston.
29.7, white 1879. negro $40.
The rate is based on the records
of 1910, but the report Is just now
being sent out. The Government is
just that far behind with its GsHth
rate census reports. For 1912 DR.
Kennedy shows Atlanta's death rate
to be even lower. The average rate
was 1885. with rate OF 1899 for
white people and 21.2 for negroes.
