Comparatively 8mall Number of Fever]
Cue's?Dr. Plcckcr Thinks Exposl
Iton Has Something to Do With]
Small Number uf Births.
Tlx- death rail- during Ihn month of
September In lOllaubelh Oily county
among Iho negroes mure Ihnn doubled
Hint or Die whites, hccbrdliig in He';
monthly mortuary report of Dr. Walter
A. Plockor, tho health officer, tin
bounced yesterday.
Thoro wer? mirty deaths during iho
inonlb. nine of which wer,' vvllllO and
twenty-one colored, Tho report shows
that of (In- deaths reported tb the
health officer live wer,, whlt?. nuiloaj
four white females, seven colored
innlos und fourteen colored females.
Twelve of the deaths Woro among
Children under live years of ngo.
The ncttscK of iloutli as assigned In
thv report follow: Heart di: case
Ulhorcplosls fij typhoid fever 2; acute
nephritis dlarrboe 2; llrlghts (Iis
en so 2; locniuotor itluxul, accident of
pregnacy, diphiuerla. drowning, gnn
trltbt, congestion ,,r the lungs, mars:
urns, pneumonia. senility, congenital
debility, HlOlimtltts, tubercular porl
tonltls.
At present there are eighteen ciim'S
of tvphobl fovor In the countv and lour
eases of diphtheria, which for this sea
: on of the year shows a healthy stale
of affairs on tho lower Virginia penin?
sula. All of tho typhoid en:vs. stive
Olio, used unboiled water.
Dr. Plocker believes thai Iho birth
rale in the county for tho present
year is going to fall short of previous
years, Up to September SO there were
reported to the officer III while
births and 1311 colored?-Rn while
males, fit; while females, i;s colored
males ami OH colored females,
Kor 1006 the white births numbered
jfifl and Iho colored 219. In I90!i Iber?'
were 200 while births reported und
2M colored.
Low Birth Rate.
?'Tho into Hi ere tore fbr Iho. Oral
Ihr.fourths' of lite presold Near,"
Hliys the health Officer, "Is much below
tho nverage, especially among the
whites. The Jamestown Bposltlon Is,
111 my opinion, largely responsible for
this condition."
Dealln for the past nine months
number |uT whites and 1*7 colored.
All the Hll/abelh City county pity
shlnns have made roconl reports, ex?
cept one who stales, verbally, that
he has Bhotil ten white births to re?
pot t.
Dr. Plocker Buys that Newport
News physlelnns, practicing in ItilUa
belli City county, are in some Instances
negligent m making reports. I hough
there Is some recent Improvement.
Tin1 fact that exposition years will
idiow a big decrease in Iho .birth rate
among the white population has cans
ed much comment among the physi?
cians,
