Charleston and Savannah are no better off in this regard than Chicago and Boston. Where is to be found deliverance from the effects of this scourge ? The difference between Negro and white mortality in the country at large is a matter of great perti nence to this inquiry. While this matter fyas not been studied for the entire country, yet the indica tion is unmistakable that the country Negro is more vigorous and healthy than his city brother. A careful study of census data gives rise to certai...n clear conclusions: (1) The Negro death rate is nearly double that of the whites in all of our large cities ; (2) this rate is due mainly to excess of infant mortality; (3) consumption and allied pulmonary complaints carry off proportionately about three Negroes to one white person ; (4) Negro death rate seems to be slightly decreasing, and (5) the mor tality of the city Negro is almost double that of his 128 RACE ADJUSTMENT country brother, which is not much in excess of the rate for the white race in rural districts.
