How to Get the Torrens System.
Mr.. Eugene c. NlassIc. who was re-
Gently nominated for the General ASSEM-
bly, from this city, has received the fol-.
lowing letter:
.i IA VI Salem. Va July 22 1906. /
Hon. Eugene Massc, Richmond. Va:
Dear Stiff my memory is correct, you
were an ardent advocate In the last
Legislature for the adoption OF lnnd
registration law OH the plan OF the
'Torrensa system" I have long advo-
Gated the enactment of such law, but
feel assured that 1t can only be accom-
plished By arousng the land holders OF
the state-the common people-on this
subject AS a rule lawyers dominate
legislation, and It Is well attesled
fact that they are as n class, opposed
to such a law. Now, Is not this an
opportune time for arousng a senti-
ment In this line by few short art!-
.cles in the papers? AS to myself, l
will promise my support to no canai-
date who will not promise his aid IN
such legislation.
Very truly yours.
(Signcd) s. A. WILSON.
We hasten TO assure Mr.. Wilson that
his memory has not served him false
and that Mr. Massle has been and Is an
ardent advocate Of the Torrens System.
Unfortunately he was not a member OF
the last Legislature and was at dis
advantage inpushlng the bill. but ne
will be a member of the next Legsla-
ture, and he will get the Torrens System
for Virginia Tor know The reason Why.
Mr.. Wilson is wise. The way to make
sure Of 1t Is for landowners through
oul the State to instruct the candidates
for their Legislature in advance to sup
port the bill. Such instruction is worth
more before election than afterwards.
II all landowners will follow the Will
son plan, the .Torrens System Will soon
be in operation in Virginia.

Communication.

Mr.. Editor
In your issue of April 22d, you gave
an extract from an editorial of the
South Boston News which you said
"may not be pleasant reading to the
members of the DrummondtOwn
Martin Club but it is right for us to let
the people know who the best friends
of Mr.. Martin are and duty constrains
us at the risk of mourning their dis
pleasure to give it to the public"
WHY did you feel constrained to tell
the public what the editor of the South
Boston News says? Who is the editor
of the South Boston News? Had he
lever made public address or written
a public article 20 ore he became an
editor? | may Sc displaying my
Ignorance but | never heard of him
before, and dare say he is not known
to a dozen persons in the county.
Was it because he is an editor and
writes "wen for opp and therefore as
sumes that he is not required to bring
any evidence to sustain his chargesY
Or was it because he sees fit to circu-
late a charge that you have delighted
to circulate, thinking it would injure
Senator Martin?---but which you will
doubtless cease to circulate after what
the Senator said on the subject of rail-
roads here on court day, unless you
are able to bring some evidence to
sustain that charge which to this time
you have entirely failed to do.
Then you quote the Times-Dlspatch
Why did you not feel constrained, y
to tell the public that Mr.. JOSEPH
BRYAN of that paper was an editor who
refused to support VIM. j. Bryan fOr
the Presidency? Surely you do moi
wish to appear as advising the Demo
Gratis of the Eastern Shore to be guided
by man so recently disloyal to them
Instead of quoting two men almost
| entirely unknown to the people OF Ac
| comack why did you not quote
Senator Daniel and the Hon. Johr
Goode?---both supporters of Senator
Martin in this contest; they are wei
known and honored in this county
and have ever been true to Virginia
and whose fealty to the Democratic
party has never wavered.
Now, Mr.. Editor, will you answer
two questions, in addition to those
asked above, for the benefit of The
voters of Accomack? 1st. Why die
Governor Montague approve the bill
removing the Jail penalty for Sunday
liquor selling, in opposition to the
earnest protest of the friends of TEN
perance throughout the State? I'd
Why did he refuse to approve the bill
placing the statute of Gen. Robert E
| Lee in Statuary Hall at Washington

The resolutions adopted at late
meeting of the Fruit and Produce
Association of New York, advising
all growers and shippers to send only
prime potatoes to the markets and
keep their culls and seconds at home,"
was not only endorsed by the directors
of the Eastern Shore Produce Ex-
change at their meeting at Onley on
Tuesday but they went step farther.
In their opinion greater care must be
taken lin culling potatoes, in keeping
them from being sunburned and IN
putting themup for market than ever
before, and circular letter will be
addressed to all their agents advising
them to that effect. The fact, that
the potato markets of the country
were never lower or more depressed
at this season of the year than at this
time makes that advice necessary, and
it is to be hoped, that our people who
have profited so much by the opera
lions of the Exchange in the past will
see the wisdom of the advice which is
given them and be willing to profit by
it. Indeed, no other course seems open
to them with the depressed markets,
this year, except to make every barrel
of potatoes first class and to leave 1t
to the Exchange, with its superior
facilities for distributing them in the
markets of the country, to sell them
tothe best advantage they can. Those
who received higher prices for ship
ments of berries made through the
Exchange this season, at least, are
convinced there is no other course fol
them to pursue. Others who sustained
losses because of their refusal to avail
themselves of the advantages which
the Exchange offers them, profting by
that experience, should be able to see
their duty better in the future.

Every voter of Virginia for the first
time in her history will be allowed the
privilege of casting his vote for United
States Senator this fall and it is the
duty of everyone to so inform himself
that he will be able to vote intelli-
gently. The choice certainly should
not be made between the two candl-
dates, because you are asked for per
sonal reasons" to do so. The primary
plan was adopted to enable you to
steer clear of machines" and youare
no more a freeman now than you were
before you allow some one, because 1t
is personal favor to him, to cast
your vote for you. Think for your
self and make no pledge until you are
convinced that you are right and if
you have made a pledge and know it
be wrong then it is duty you owe
yourself to be released from it. As
the News-Leader well says:
"None of us ought to pledge our
selves until we have considered the
merits of the men offering and the
purposes and policies they represent
carefully and thoroughly. None of us
having given a pledge should hesitate
a moment if we become convinced
that we have made a mistake in ask
ing to be released from it. 1t isno ex-
cuse at all for casting a vote which
we believe to be wrong or for falling
to cast one which our sense of duty
and obligation to the country tell us
is right that we have promised. A
man has no more right to mortgage
his vote in advance than he has to
waste, sell or cucumber for his own
benefit or from his Incidence proper
tv entrusted to him for safe-keeping,
use or investment by another. So long
as he avoids deceit and actsin man
ly, straightforward way no censure
can attach to him. Certainly he is
worthy of censure if from moral COW
ardice or any other reason he misuses
his vote and casts it for man he
thinks should not be elected or against
a man he honestly feels and believes
should be elected"
