Editor Exchange;
| notice that the petitions presented
by myself from citizens Of Haywood
and Lauderdale counties have given
rise to some adverse comment. | am
surprised that an editor of leading
paper should take such narrow view
of the duties of Il representative. The
right of petition is sacred right, seN
cured ia the citizen by Article |, of
amendments to the constitution.
The presentation Of petition does
not bind the representative 10 the ia
vorabe consideration of the objects
and purposes set forth in said petit
ton. 1t is the duty of the represen-
tatives to present all petitions of citi,
zens pertaining to subjects over which
Congress has legislative jurisdiction,
provided that they are couched in re-
spectful language. This duty will
discharge, even though it may outrage
the editor of the Wing.
/ am favorable to the keeping open
of all navigable streams, and making
such appropriations by Congress al
will improve the navigation OF those

united action in memOriaizing Com
gress for relief. Since the late reduc
ton of postage, their salaries have

Immediately turned the vessel for the

the steamer turned around and ran into
shore with her bow out stream. A gang
plank was run out and the lady passen

smoke stack came down with a crash,
falling across the plank and drowning
every woman on it. The pilot and cabin
boy jumped ashore and deserted the
steamer. The captain Of the steamer
Eagle, which was near by, ordered his
pilot to keep away from the burning
steamer as he was afraid his boat would
catch on fire, and therefore the Eagle

OLD DEEDS.

As there seemed to be some differ
enee ofopinion as to the effect of the
law requiring the registration of deeds
prior to January LIST 1885, we cite the
following from an exchange:
"There is much uneasiness in the
minds of many persons in regard to
the fact of old unregistered de eds
The last Legislature changed the reg.
istration laws, and in effect required
all deeds to be registered by January
1st, 1886. fla deed is not registered
which a,,te-dates January LIST, 1886
what becomes of it? The act is plain.
There can be bnt one construction
Notwithstanding the vast amount Of
excitement. After January LIST, 1885,
the first registered deed holds the land
in case there is no tenant in possession
holding under and through an unreg-
istered deed. Amy deed can be regis
tered now at any time after January
1st, subject only to prior rights Of in
ocent purchasers without notice. The
act makes possession notice, and there
fore no man can claim to be an innocent
purchaser in case the party holding
an unregistered deed is himself or by
tenent in the actual possession of the
land. The old law was that deed
when registered took effect from its

delivery. The law is that it takes eff.
feet from its registration.
Prior to this, if A made a deed to
B, and B puts it in his safe for ten
years, and then a made deed to G
for value, still G, an innocent man,
would not get the land. Now if A
makes deed to B, B to hold the land
as against an innocent purchaser, must
do one of two things: First, register
the deeds, or, second, take possession Of
the premises. Either is notice under
the law to the whole world, and il
either is done there is no innocent pur-
chaser. We therefore conclude that
no person need be uneasy in regard to
present or old titles if they are them
selves or have others in possession, or
if their titles are registered.
This is the law stated in plain terms
That is a good law no one who will fol-
a moment consider the question can
deny. Titles must be settled Land
owners must be in actual possession or
register their deeds. They can dc
