A Good Order.

The late W. g. Matlock was a member
OF the Reidsville council, Royal Arcanum,
and carried 81 900 insurance with the
order. A check for the full amount of
his insurance was received on the eighth
day after death proofs were mailed from
Reidsvile The late Z. E. Craver was
also insured in the Royal Arcanum. Both
claims were promptly paid, illustrating
the great good this progressive and
growing order is doing in Reidsville.-
Review.
There is council OF the Royal Ar
canum in Henderson. and instead of
about 25 members there ought to be
three times that number in a town
of this size. There is no safer or
cheaper insurance, every death claim
being paid promptly upon proof OF
death. There has not been a death
in the Henderson council since it was
instituted several years ago.

Increased Demand for Sun Cured
Tobacco,

From what can be learnsd the crop OF
Sun Cured Tobacco is much larger than
last year, and prices are already higher
than this time last year, says the Rich
mond News Leader.
A feature of the sun cured market is the
marked increase in the crop for the last
few years, and those familiar with con-
ditions attribute this increased demand
for this particular class of leaf to ''REl-
NOLDS' sun CURED brand intro
duced three years ago by R. J. Reynolds
Tobacco Company. 1t is sauthoritativelv
stated that the requirements of this one
concern is more than the entire crop a
few years ago. The success OF 'REl n
OLDS' sun CURED" and the large trade
built up by R. j. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany led to the establishment OF its
Richmond, Va, Leaf Department, which
is under the personal management OF ex-
perts in the selection Of sun cured leaf.

"Duttonism is the name given to a very

REVENUE AND INSPECTION.
Report of Water Registrar for Yea
Ended June.3O, 1904.

Water Registrar H. L. Karpeles today
submitted to the Commissioners his report
of the revenue and inspection branch of the
water department for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1904. He reports that 1888 In
spections were made during the year and
that the total receipts of the office amount
ed to $4O1 $50 for the year, as opposed to
$4Os, Os5 80 for the preceding fiscal year.
Mr.. Karpeles invites attention to the law
authorizing the Commissioners to furnish
certain quantities Of water without charge
to orphan asylums and charity schools,
and such institutions as receive annual APP
preparations from Congress" This is the
only authority whereby exemptions from
rent may be granted, and Mr.. Karpeles be-
lieves that 1t is not broad enough in scope.
This law, he says, while granting exemp-
ton to many worthy institutions excludes,
because of its specifications, other worthy
institutions. He suggests that Congress
be asked to amend the present law so as to
include all worthy charities.
1t is interesting to note that during the
year II 9O7 leaks were found, and that of
this number only ,4S7 were reported to the
office by consumers while ii. 40 were dis
covered by inspectors in the course of
house-to house examination. Household
ers, however, 1t is stated, are prompt in
having repairs made when defects are
brought to their notice.
Mr.. Karpeles mentions that the collec-
from those of the previous year. due to a
decrease In receipts from Waterman
taxes. which reached a mark for 1903
probably not to be equaled in the fu-
ture. The income from water rents shows
a normal increase, and, taken altogether,
the receipts about reached the anticipa tons
Of the department., the estimate for the
year having been placed at $4,000.
During the year 1S2 new meters were in
stalled, making the total number now in
use 1,02S. The number of service connec-
tons to June 80. 1903, was 1929, during
the year 1907 new ones were added, max
ing total of 5O.5j6
In speaking of the condition Of work in
his office the water registrar says:
Although the work devolving upon this
Office shows a steady increase, yet at the
close of the fiscal year 1904 the same was
up to date. The attainment Of this result
Is largely due to the efficient discharge OF
