Duke System Makes The
Second Reduction
In Year

Reduction in electric rates ann.
ounced by the Duke Power com
pany and Southern Public Utilitie
company, effective with meter read.
ings on and after Sept. l, will saw
users of electricity in the Duke sys.
ten in the two Carolinas approxi'
mately $1,337,000 annually.
In November, 1882, the com.
panies put into effect reduction
in rates that cut down the ag.
gregate electric bill on its system
about $1,357,0O0 annually.
The total reduction made in les
than two years will amount to
saving of $2,694,0O0 each year
which is regarded as a phenomena
cut in cost of a utility service.
Effective with bills to be rem
dered for September and thereaft
er, the charges for electric and ga:
service will be at the new rates:
which recently were approved by
the North Carolina Utilities COM
mission and the South Carolina
Railroad commission.
The Duke companies announced
the reduction In rates with the fol-
lowing explanation:
"The new rate schedules are
simple in structure and will be
easily understood by any customer.
The new residential and commercial
rates for electricity will make it
even more desirable and profitable
for our customers to enjoy the
widest possible use of electrice ser
vice. As a matter of fact the only
justification for these new rates is
the confident anticipation that our
customers will find it to their ad-
vantage to make a larger use of
electric service for all purposes.
THE new schedules of rates, to
be effective for the service that is
now being given, will be markedly
lower than the old. These rates will
apply in all communities served by
the Southern Public Utilities COM
pany including the smallest towns
and villages and rural communities.
The new schedules are on file and
available to customers at all of our
branches. The public is invited to
inspect and study these schedules"
The old schedule Nc. l for resi-
dental electric services, available for
lighting, cooking, heating, refrigera-
ton and incidental power entirely
of a residential, nature, had a flat
charge of 81 per customer per
month and a meter charge of 3.75
cents per XVIII for the $50 XVIII
used per month and three cents per
XVIII for all consumption in ex-
cess of $50 XVIII per month.
The new schedule No. l for resi-
dental electric service has a rate of
80 cents for the first 10 XVIII, or
less, used per month; 6.5 cents per
XVII for the next 20 XVII used
per month; three Gets per XVIII
for the next 100 XVIII for all over
1870 XVIII used per month.
There are also lower schedules fol

and water heating service and

INSTRUCTION PRIVATE OR A
Dance For Perfect Health

Leading doctors, the world over are agreed that dancing is tn
ideal exercise. An EMINENT womans ECIALI was inter
viewed for his views on dancing in general in the interest Of
health. This opinion appears in several current magazines. w
quote him:
Dancing is the perfect exercise. In my work, which is
entirely with women, | often recommend it, and in each in
stance where my patients have used it IS a instrument to-
ward better health, looks and spirits I have seen excellent re-
suits. No other form of activity, unless swimming, gives
such perfect and distributed exercise. In many cases of nerv-
Gus and minor internal disorders l have seen dancing bring
about a normal readjustnent in the patient. 1t is an excell-
ent mental panacea, also. Repressed, tense persons will often
respond and relax to action and the inspiration of creating
beautiful movements, and the good in these instances is in
estimable. Of course, the body should be trained and
hardened through simple movements at first until more
strenuous activity comes naturally and with ease"
Ellen Douglas Norwood has made an exhaustive study of the
dance over a period of years and especially in its relation to health

Most of his life as Jesuit was
spent in college work.
During the World War he was
assigned assistant to the U. S.
chemist in charge of the labora-
tory at Brand Coteau, La. During
the course of an experiment an
explosion occurred in which sew
eral Of those in the laboratory lost
their lives and Rev. Dougherty
suffered severe injuries to the
lungs and other vital organs.
He was afterwards disciplin-
arian at Spring Hill College for a
period and was later in the sum-
mer of 1891 appointed Superior
of the church at Selma, Ala.
Endeared To All
On November 9, of the same
year. Rev. Dougherty was appoint
ed pastor at Key West and during
the time he was here endeared
to the citizenry in every
walk of life. He was ever inter-
ested in all forms of clean and
healthy sports, and displayed par
ticular interest in the boys in
their sports and contests.
Arrangements for the services
have not been completed but will
be announced later in The Citi-
zen.
