THE TORRENS SYSTEM OF LAND
REGISTRATION.

(By Eugene c. Massie, in The Times Dispatch.
The real estate of Virginia is as.
seessd at 343i millions, or nearly
three times as much as all the per-
sonal property returned for taxation
in the State.
You can sell your personal proper
ty or borrow money on it, quickly
and at little expense. You don't
have to employ lawyer to examine
the title to your horse or COW, nor to
your stocks and bonds.
If you try to sell your land or
borrow money on it, the first question
is: Have you got good title?
No one will buy nor lend you
money without being satisfied about
your title. 1t must be examined by
a lawyer, and you have to pay the
bill.
1t doesn't matter how often the
title has been examined before, it
has to be re-examined every time u
new deal is made.
The same old records are examined
over and over again, and every time
you have to pay the bill.
lt takes days or weeks to make the
examination, and so many difficulties
are encountered that business men
frequently haven't time to bother
with a transaction involving so many
problems.
All this makes land hard and
slow to handle.
The Torrens System will convert
your lands into quick asset and
make them available as a source of
commercial credit.
1t operates in the following man
ner:
1st. A title is examined once oflic-
tally, and confirmed by order of court.
That ends the matter.
2nd. You are then given a certifi.
cate'of title, which guarantees to all
the world that you have such title AS
ia set forth therein to the lands there
In described-for example, life es-
tate, or fee simple, in whole or in
part, free from encumbrances or sub
ject to such encumberances as are
mentioned in the certificate.
Sd. You can deal with this certifi-
cate of title almost as freely as with
q certificate of stock; because every
body can see from the certificate ex-
actly what your title is.
This will put your real estate on a
footing with your personality, and
will add millions to the business CAP.
ital of Virginia.
The Torrens act will help the
farmers and everybody who owns
real estate in the country, as well as
in the city.
1t will kill the business of the
land grabber in Virginia.
1t will enable the State to collect
it's taxes promptly, and no mans
land, when registered, can be sold
for delinquent taxes without his
knowledge.
1t will help everybody who deals
in. real estate.
1t will lessen the cost of trans
actions in real estate, stimulate and
enlarge the market, and thus in
crease 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 invite Development of the
whole State by settling titles. And
1t will invite immigration. because
strangers will not hesitate TO buy
such guaranteed titles.
The Torrens System is no expert

MARTIN In OLD ACCOMAC.

nappy crowd grandlv welcomed
Senator Thomas s. Martin, who spoke
at Accomac Courthouse, Va, Tues.
day, May 2nd, in behalf of his return
to the United States Senate. The
Senator was introduced by Mr.. Nath.
anlei b. Wesoott, the member from
Accomac to the Constitutional Con-
vention, who eloquently spoke of the
fond relations between the citizens
OF the seashore and the mountains of
Virginia, and welcomed the speaker
as mountaineer coming to the salt
air. He stated that he was sure that
Accomac would roll up large ma
Jorlty in favor of the Junior Senator
at the coming primary. The notice.
able feature of the Senator's speech
was Its freedom of abuse or accusa-
tlons against his opponent. He never
once called his name, and only de-
Tended himself against the charges
contained In the Governors speeches.
The Senator referred 70 his work
In accomplishing the settlement of
the States claim against the national
government for funds used in the
war of 1912. He explained that in
finally winding up the claim the
Secretary of the Treasury had given
the second auditor of Virginia a
check for $3.50 and over a million
dollars worth of Virginia's lust
bonds. His opponent (Mr. Monta-
gue) in discussing the matter, had
noticed the check having been re-
ceived, and had failed to observe
that the bonds had been cancelled,
TOLD OF OPPONENTS ERROR.
He told of his opponents error in
stating his vote on the Mccall reso.
luton in reference to an investigation
of the unlawful practice of corpora
tons influencing national legislation
by bribery, railroad passes aud other
means. BE said he voted nay on
substitute of the regular committee
In place of special committee of five
to actively carry on the investigation,
and not nay on the bill itself, as
He said that be had been
charged with having voted against
the resolution, and that the opposi-
tion had made much capital of the
false report. "l was an advocate of
the resolution" he said, "and the
statement that voted against it is
maliciously false. L do lot say that
my competitor has made this charge
through any false motive" he con-
tinued. "But candidates for impor-
tant offices should be Informed before
they make such reckless charges"
The junior Senator offered to resign
his place if 1t could be shown that
he had been attorney for any railroad
since his election to the Senate. That
story has been actively circulated for
campaign purposes on the Virginia
Eastern Shore, and the speaker was
vehement in his denial. He stated
that all the railroad presidents in
Virginia were opposed to his election,
save one, and he did not know his at
titude.
The impression has been gained by
the people here that the Junior Sena-
tor could not make speech, and
great was the surprise at the strong
and catchy address heard. 1t was a
Martin field day, and gained him
many friends. The result was great
and unexpected upon the crowd Of
over seven hundred citizens.
The Senator made an address at
Onancock tonight, and was enthusi-
received. Many ladies were
in the audience.-Richmond Times

The NATIONS TRIBUTE TOLEE

IL there has been any lingering
doubt in the mind of any one, North
or South, that all the sectional bitter
ness engendered by the differences Of
the past has been obliterated, surely
it was removed by the generous trib-
ute paid to the memory of Southern
soldier and citizen in the nations
capital at the funeral of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lse. The Government itself
did everything in it's power to make
the occasion national in character,
and the demonstration of respect
and grief on the part of the Northern
people were as spontaneous and sim
cere as were those on the part of the
Southern people. Fitz Lee had won
the respect and love of the whole
country, and in his person and ex-
ample had become a bond of unity
between the sections, renewing old
time confidence and cementing frater-
nal relations. The dissensions of the
past were forgotten on that funeral
occasion, and the blue and the gray
met as citizens of one country. a
grandson of General Grant acted in
the escort, and the American flag en-
twined the casket. In all respects it
was nations tribute to a loyal citi-
zen and a faithful servant.-Index-

BOOKER wAsHINGToN'S TRIBUTE.
Booker T. Washington, the presi
dent of Tuskegee Institute, in an ad
dress Tuesday at the Hampton (Va.)
Institute, made this allusion, among
Others, to the late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee:
"The races should get together as
in the days when the Lees went with
their Bibles to teach colored children
in the Sunday schools. General Lee
was always helpful and sympathetic
to the colored man. The Southern
colored men grieve over his death as
deeply as do the white men of the
South.
"The negroes of the South-of the
whole country, for that matterAwill
be fortunate indeed if they ever have
again such cordial aud sympathetic
friendship as that WHICH the so-called
'aristocratic class of the South 10
antebellum days bestowed on the
black population. Nor was this kind
illness confined to the 'aristocrats.'
Stonewall Jackson, while an instruc-
tor at the Virginia Military Institute,
taught colored children in Sunday
school, There were many men and
women in Dixie of gentle birth and
high breeding who ministered unto
the material as we'll as the spiritual
needs of the slaves. There was per-
feet trust between whites and blacks
"a confidence which was rudely
shattered, however, Immediately after
the war by the alien agents of recon-
struction. If this confidence and this
friendship can ever be restored, the
solution Of the race problem will
be made infinitely essier.-Baltimor
