Stone House Almost chenDasv

Stone House Almost as Cheap as Wood
1t is now quite possible to have the
exterior Of a house built Of stone at a
price not much greater than the cost
OF clapboards or shingles. This condi-
ton of things has come about through
the development Of the cement indus
try in this country. Given reasonable
access TO transportation line and q
sand bank, and the possibility of a
stone house is yours. One part of ce-
ment, two or three parts OF sand and
-FOUR to seven parts Of gravel or broken
stone mixed together with enough wa
ter TO make paste Will produce a
stone that is next to granite in hard
ness and strength, not affected by fire.

THE LAND QUESTION IN VIRGINIA.

The State claims to be the owner
the original and ultimate owner
of all her lands. This ownership
first appears in her land grants.
and Is now found in the exercise
of the right of the eminent domain.
of escheats and in the levying of
taxes.
Claiming and exercising these
original rights and sovereign pow
ers, it Is the duty of the State to
grant good titles to her citizens and
to enable them to keep their titles
good under the just administration
of equitable land laws.
This plain duty has never here
tofore been performed by the State.
and the time has now come when
she must meet her high obligation.
In 1900 there were 1913, SOC male
citizens of the Commonwealth as
sessed for taxes on real estate.
valued, in each instance, at not less
than $500. These citizens represent
the thrift and intelligence of the
Commonwealth, and their rights
must be respected by our law-mak-
ers.
The real estate of Virginia is as
sessed at 343 81 millions, or nearly
three times as much as all the per-
sonal property returned for taxa
ton in the State.
You can sell your personal
property or borrow money on it
quickly and at little expense. You
do not have to employ lawyer to
examine the title to your horse or
cow to your oats and hay, nor to
your stocks and bonds.
1t will lessen the cost of transac-
tons in real estate, stimulate and
enlarge the market, and thus
increase values; and when a poor
man buys home he will get
good title to it and no one can take
it away from him.
1t will promote development of
the whole State by settling titles.
And it will invite immigration.
because strangers will not hesitate
TO buy such guaranteed titles.
THE TORRENS SYSTEM IS
NO EXPERIMENT.
1t has been tested in South Au-
stralia since 1855, and soon spread
to Queensland, Victoria. New
South Wales, and West Australia
1t has long been in operation in
tasmania. New Zealand, Vancouver
and British Columbia; also in Man
itoba, Ontario and the Northwest
Territory of Canada, comprising
the four provinces of Athabasca.
Alberta, Assnezoia and Saskatch-
evan. Even conservative England
has been testing it since 1862. and
in 1900 Parliament appropriated
81, 1926, 900 for a Land Registry
Office in Lincoin's Inn-Fields.
Registration Of possessory titles
has been compulsory in London

OFFERS TO SELL
LIST OF QUESTIONS
C. w. BROWN is ARRESTED IN
DADEVILLE AND SUPT. |. w.
HILL WILL ATTEND TRIAL IN
A FEW DAYS.

Montgomery, June 16.-(SpeciaL "A man
giving his name as C. w. Brown has been
arrested at Dadevill and lodged in Jail
on a charge of Offering for sale to those
who will have to stand examinations for
teachers lists of the questions to be
asked and the answers. State Superin-
tendent l. w. Hill was notified today and
will attend the trial set for a few days
later.
Brown is no doubt putting up a job If
the allegations against him are correct
for the reason that the questions for the
July examinations are not yet out, and
they are to be printed by a firm in a
distant state to keep just such fellows
from getting at them. 1t is. therefore,
quite likely that Mr.. Brown, if that be
his name. is working a two shell game,
If the charges are correct, one on the
people and one purporting to be on the
state.
Mr.. Hill has had much trouble of this
kind and is seeing to 1t this year that
nothing is known of the paper before
hand. Brown was given away by local
teacher whom he had asked 1t said to
meet him, and Is reported to have said
after arrest that this teacher is one in
a thousand, indicating that others had
been taken in.

PARDONS ISSUED
BY The GOVERNOR
OF ONE CASE GOVERNOR SAYS
HE is NOT ONLY ENTITLED TO
LIBERTY, BUT AN APOLOGY
FROM STATE.

Montgomery. June 6.-(special)-I
have had effect in securing the release of
a prisoner, though there does not seem
to have been much OF a case against
him after all. Some time ago John c.
Perritt marshal of Highnote, a town in
Geneva county killed a man whom ne
was trying to arrest He was tried for it
and convicted and given a sentence of
two years in the penitentiary. When the
case was taken up before the board of
pardons a few days ago one OF the So
licitors was a woman, who spoke elo-
quently for the prisoner.
After looking into the cast the governor
fans to find, and the pardon board took
the same view, any reason to hold the
Young fellow longer. No blame seems to
have been attached to the prisoner, 1t is
thought, but If there is, having been in
the service of the state since the fall of
1904, he has been sufficiently punished.
Another pardon granted today was that
of Ben Sanders, Jr., of Ferry county,
convicted In February, 1905, and given
two years on burglary charge. The So
licitor expressed a doubt of his guilt and
the governor says, after looking into the
papers that he is led to believe that he
is entitled not only to liberty but an
apology from the state. He was given
full pardon.
w. f. Ellis of Montgomery, who served
term in the penitentiary, md his cit
izenship restored by the governor today
He had the certificate of a number of
citizens that he had lived an exemplary
life since he came ont
OF the Perritt case the governor saws:
''This man, while acting as marshal, was
unfortunate enough to kill a person at
Highnote, in this state. The party killed
was lawless according to every account,
and desperate. He resisted arrest and
was overcoming the officer when struck
on the head with the officers club. Death
followed the ticks in a day or two. [
fail to see from the papers on file, which
seem exhaustive. that the officer was
in any way to blame for the killing The
solicitor agreed to recommend a pardon
after he had served one year. It seemed
to the board of pardons. and 1t seems to
me that If any offense was committed at
all the punishment has been sufficient
The surroundings for peace offer were
Ut inviting. He had to deal with many
