Rev Rules as to Postal Money Orders

New rules governing the cashing of
postal money orders by first and second
class postoffices have been received here
from First Assistant Postmaster General
Perry j. Heath.
The gist of this order is to cash all
money orders irrespective of the place
Of payment named therein.
For instance, if man in Raleigh has
a money order drawn on Asheville he can
get it cashed at the Raleigh postoffice.
provided he is properly identified and the
order is perfectly regular. In the same
way money orders can be cashed at any
first or second class postoffices, although
drawn upon offices at other points.
Further, by the order many orders can
be cashed at first and second class post
offices without the corresponding advice
having been received of their issuance.
A man here, for example, who has a
money order from Charlotte, can get it
cashed before the advice has been re-
ceived at this office, provided he is prop
erly identified and the order is regular.
Heretofore the rule was that all money
orders must be paid at the postoffice on
which they are drawn, and money orders
could not be cashed at all unless the cor
responding advices had been received
from the points where issued.

THE CITY NEEDS BETTER LIGHTS.
Committee Recommends City Ownership of the
Lighting Plant

The annual report of the Light commit
tee 10 the board of aldermen will say
that the lights furnished the city by the
Raleigh Electric Company during the past
wear have been very unsatisfactory and
will recommend that the city establish
and operate a lighting plant of it's own.
During the year $74636 was deducted
from the Light Company's bill for failure
to furnish light as per contract. The cost
of lights during the year was $7,406.62, as
follows: For IS arc lamps, s4S59.S9; for
incandescent lights in mayors office and
market S71236; for 100 gas street lamps,
81. 1893. 50; for gas in Metropolitan Hall,
S50.S7.
Forty of the rs arc lamps are on poles
and the committee asked an appropriation
of 5000 to change them to swinging lamps
suspended over the street.
Touching city ownership of it's lighting
plant. the report says:
1--WE do not think it too early to call
attention to the fact that our present
contract for lights will end May 10Th, 1902,
and to look ahead and see if we can't bet
ter ourselves by then. The city of DAN
Vile, Va, owns its electric light plant,
which cost $4,000, Gin 1898 the net cost of
each street are light to the city of Dan
vile, including interest on plant invest
ment, was only $3O.54). Why should not
Raleigh own her electric light plant?
We believe that a plant could be estab-
lished and a light be at the intersection
of every street in Raleigh at about the
same cost we are paying for our few
lights now By the time our contract is
out we could have our plant going"

FOR AN AUDITORIUM
One Fourth of the Amount

A Company Is to be Organized That VIII Have
1000 Shares at Ten Dollars Each.
Meeting Last Night.

The mass meeting at Metropolitan Hall
last night to devise means for erecting
an auditorium was not as large as IL
should have been, but it made start
that if pushed onward will result in Raj
eigh entering the Twentieth Century with
the assurance of a large auditorium.
Though the attendance was not large, 1T
was representative, and more than one
fourth of the necessary amount was sub
scribed.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
w. n. Jones, president of the Chamber
of Commerce. who in few brief remarks
urged the Importance of Raleigh's build
ing suitable auditorium Short speeches
were made by Messrs. j. S. Wynne, j. N.
Holding, A. A. Thompson, Josephus Dam

Raney, ]. c. Ellington and others, after
which, upon notion it was decided to
call for subscription of 1000 shares at so
each, to organize a company to build the
auditorium. 1t is believed that with $10,-
900 in cash, there will be no trouble in
securing the auditorium If necessary to
have more money, bonds could be issued
to provide sufficient amount in addition
to the $4,000 subscribed
The following subscriptions were

CORPORATION LAWS
Secretary of State viii Re-
commend Their Revision.
He Thinks the Granting Of Charters to Cor
porations in This State Should be Source
Of Large Pubic Revenue.

Recently the News and Observer had
occasion to refer to the fact that the
corporation laws in this State are crude
and imperfect They lack system and
defniteness.
Under them there is no sort of COM
pany that cannot secure a charter, let
the powers and privileges asked be as
great as they may. Under the law as it
now stands the Secretary of State has no
discretion in the matter, and must grant
the charters applied for. Then again a
company with small capital has to pay
as much as one with its millions.
Now these things should not be. There
ought to be some definite rules governing
the formation of corporations in the
state-the powers and privileges to be
conferred; and the granting of charters
ought to he a source of large revenue to
the State The concern with a million
certainly ought to pay more for it's chart
er than the corporation with a few hun
dred dollars capital stock
In his next report the Secretary of
State will call the attention of the Legis-
lature to these things and recommend a
revision and codification of the corpora
tion laws of the State, prescribing the
powers and privileges that may be grant
ed and fixing scale of fees, based upon
the amount of capital stock.
Only one day this week a company was
Incorporated, the charter of which gu
thorizes it to engage in ten separate and
distinct businesses. Last week one was
incorporated whose powers and privileges
far exceeded even this. In fact it is au-
thorized to do about everything you can
think of except preach the gospel and
practice medicine.

Will Support a Foreign Missionary

The congregation of the Tabernacle
Baptist church, of this city, have about
decided to support a foreign missionary.
To do this will require of them an annual
contribution of some 5000 or $500. But
there will be little trouble in raising that
amount in such a church as the Taber-
nacle, where $500 was last Sunday, after
Dr.. Willingham's sermon, contributed for
foreign missions. The Tabernacle people
are about the most active church workers
among the Baptists of the State, though
they never say much about it.
