Notwithstanding all that is
done by boards of health and
charitably inclined persons, the
death rate among small children
is very high during the hot weath¬
er of the summer months in the
large cities. There is not prob¬
ably one case of bowel complaint
in a hundred, however, that
could not be cured by tlie timely
use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol¬

THE TROUBLE AT ALBANY.
Dissensions Cstised by
ton*Westbrook Affair.
Albany, Ga.,—“This is an af-
fair,’ said Mayor Lippitt as lie
called the police commission to
rm.er Ilitnsdav morning, "him
is greatly to he deplored. Jt has
arrayed fathers against son, hits-
band against wife and friend
against friend, and should be set¬
tled with as little delay as pos¬
sible,’’ lie referred, of course,
to tho sensational Broughton-
Westbrook affair, which lias so
stinted this little city since last
Sunday.
The first few days of I he re¬
vival passed off without unnsinl
incident. It. was not until Sun-
d iy afternoon that anything sen-
National .developed, and tl.en ; t
came lik- a thunderclap from a
clear sky. Persons supposed to
be close to I)r, Broughton and
thought t«» stand high in tin* coun¬
cils of those who were managing
the meciiugs, had given out the
statement that there would be
nothing of a sensational nature—
that no proposal attacks would be
made by any who were
mg the services. Whether these
statements were not advised by
Dr. Broughton or whether they
were made before he came into
possession of the information and
affidavits, which he claimed to
have, concerning the conduct of
Chief It. N. Westbrook, lias net
come to light.
Tlmre have been few things in
the city’s history which have ore-
ated so much feeling as had this
affair, jt has b. en the one topic
of discussmn in the city through¬
out tlie week, and so heated have
some of tlieee arguments become
that families are known where
dis.ms.siqn of tlie matter has been
entirely dropped by agreement.

Census Bureau Issues Bulletin
On Population.
Washington, July 0.—The Oen
1 sus Bureau to-day issued the fi-
nal bulletin on the negro popula-
tion of .the I uitnl States.
: number of negroes in the United
States, including the eniiie area
covered by the twelfth census
(Continental United States, Alas-
ka, Hawaii and Pujfo Rico) is
9,204,581, perhaps a larger n u m-
her than is found in any otliei
country outside of Africa.
The report indicates that be-
tween 11 and 16 per cent, of tlm
negro population have or are be¬
lieved by the enumerators, to
have some degree of white blood.
The center of t lie negro papu¬
lation is in De Kalb county, Ala¬
bama, about four miles from the
western boundary of Georgia,
having moved thence from Din-
widdle county, Virginia, 476
miles nortlienst, sineo 1790. O 7er
77 per cent, of the negroes live
in the country, against over 57
per cent, of the whites.
Almost 90 per cent, of the
negroes in tin? Continental United
States arc in th^JCnitfiern states,
and three tenths of them are in
Negroes constitute about one-
fifteenth of the city population
and about one-seventh of the
country population of Continen¬
tal United States, There whs an
increase among the negroes of
1,845,818, or 18 per cent , in Con¬
tinental United States, but the
rate of increase dechnod steadily

The negroes, unlike the Indians
and the native whites, have a
slight excess of females. Illit¬
eracy among them is about seven
times greater than the whites.
There are 3,992,837 negroes in
the United States engaged in
gainful occupations. Their death
rate approximates 30 per cent.,
while that of the whites under
under tho same calculation is 17
per cent.
