Reid, of the Colored Graded School faculty of this city, represents the Royal Benefit Society should of itself be a sufficient guarantee of its integrity among our colored people, for Prof. Reid has grown up among us and is respected by all who know him, both white and black; but as a luriher evidence of the wide-spread urntor and universal popularity of iht Royal Benefit Company, we copy ihe following article from a recent issue of the Washington Post in re gard to some litigation, as to licsnse, ihis Company had in the District of of Columbia: 'Saptrinieadent Drake, of the de parting of insurance, upon tne ad vi e 01 Mr. Duvall, corporation coun sel, and with the approval of the coomiissioners, has decided in lavj) of the touteuiion of the Royal B t fit S jtieiy, holding that it d ie noi require a license from tie mura .ce depaitment, but is entitled to do bu dness as a frataraai lnsa. n.e so ciety because it was incorporated un der an ace of Conres-s enacted prioi Lo tiie Disi-L;t uode, aod as ihet granted u ii ens by the a-8esser oi the District tocrryou its business indefinitely. "The Hrr-t ap .licalion of the So ciety Mas ioc a license, aud Supt. Drake declined to grant it a license on an opu ion of the corporation counsel approved by the Commis sioners. - Counsel for the Society, Henry E. Davis, appealed lor a re consideration of ihe case. Pending that, officers of the Society filed charges against Superintendent Drake, which they afterward with drew. 'Mr. Davis then submitted to the commissioners a long brief contain ing a number of questions of law and making the case turn upon the claim that the society did not need a license from the insurance department, but was entitled to do business under tho old liceuse of the asseswr. This was referred to the corporation counsel by the commissioners, and he has de cided that the superintendent of in surance may properly take the view taken by counsel for the Society, which Supt. Drake, with the ap proval of the commissioners, has done. The corporation counsel says: "1 have reached ' the conclusion that there is a grave question of doubt as to whether this society, which was incorporated under an act of Con gress, enae'ed prior to the "code of law for the District cf Columbia and granted a license by the assessor of the District to carry on its busm ms indefinitely, is required to have a li cense from the superintendent oi ii surance. ine question involves a matter of statuatory construction, and I am of the opinion that t ne iojdc in me premises couta-b,e re solved by the superintendent in favor of the Society, and that he could treat the Society as being authoiix, d to transact the business of frateri at insurance in the District of CoU.n-i-bia." 'Supt, Drake yesterday addres-ed a letter to the commissioners, in which he said: "Having been ad vised by the corporation counsel that there is at least grave doubt as to whether the Royal Benefit Society navmg Deen incorporated unaer a law of Congress enacted prior to. hj code and having been granted a 3 1 cense by the assessor of the Distri 1 to carry on its business indefinUe'y is required to have a license from tl e superintendent of insurance, I have concluded to resolve the doubt in tl e Society's favor, aud will treat it ; s being authorised to transact the bus iness , of fraternal insurance in tl. : i District." .

These are the most hopeful.signof the constantly upward tendency of educational affairs has been the ever increasing number of towns and rural districts which have applied each two years to the legisla ture for the privilege of improving their public schools by local taxation. This movement was- begun in 1875 at Greensboro. Soon .afterwards Ra leigh, Goldsboroj, Charlotte and other larger towns voted a local tax and established graded schools. Since 1900'tho number has increased to 250 districts, 200 being iu the country and . small towns. About 20 districts car ried for local tax during the months of April and May of this year, some not having a single vote against the special tax. " , The following facts and figures show what local taxation has dne for Fentress township, Guilford coun-i ty. What is true of Guilford is sub stantially true of two-thirds of the counties bf the state. Fentress voted local tax in 1901: this is the exhibit :: s WHITE COL'D TOTAL Polls ; 162 9 171 Total value - ' property, $179,634, $2,I13,$181,747 N.umber of persona paying taxes : Making total school fund Increasing school fund 350 per cent. Of this increase Hie railroads would pay $3T2.50 and tie citizens of thft district would pay about $153.00. A voter over 50 years old and owning no property in the district would not have to pay any of thH increased taxation. Of this increase a taxpayer . under 50 years old, and without property, would pay 75 cents. A taxpayer giving in $100, would pay 25 cents, and 75 cents poll and have the privilege of sending all his children to school. Of this increase a taxpayer worth $500, would pay $1.25 property tax. A taxpayer worth $1,000 would pay $2.50. A taxpayer worth $5,000, would have to pay $12.50. The Ebenezer district will vote on local taxation May, 30. Suppose Mr. A. lives in that district, has 4 chil-? dren to educate and lists $500 worth of property; it costs from $1 to $2 pet month to send them to a. private school. Four children at an average cost of $1 per month per head, would make the annual cost ot an 8 months school, $32. Suppose Ebenezer district carries for local taxation on May 30, with an increased property assessment of 25 cents on the $100 valuation of property and 75 cents on the poll, Mr. A can send all four of his chil dren to school 8 months, for $2. Mr. A's increased tax en $500,at 25 cents on the $100, would be $1.25. This added to 75 cents extra on poll would amount to $2.00, a saving of $30. The children of .Ebenezer district will be the men and women of that district twenty-five years from now.
