by the Convention on
Monday.

Special to Morning News.
Millersburg, o., May 8.-The Demo-
cratic county convention was held in
Agricultural hall on Monday and can
vassed the vote cast at primaries on
Saturday and announced the result.
So far Hurst, of Tuscarawas; Ash
brook, of Licking, and Wertz of
Wayne, are the candidates.
A committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed, who reported in substance as
follows:
Scoring Roosevelt for his surrender
on the rebate bill and his similar fash
ion of blow and buster against high
tariff, the oil octopus and other cor
porations, and then, after going
through his grandstand play and got
the people to howl for him, then laiu
down like a coward.
The resolutions then recite that
nothing can be expected from a party
that has been chained to the chariot
wheels of the corporations for so
many years, and then recites the fact
that everything points to that match
less champion Of the peoples rights,
William J. Bryan, and demands his
nomination in 1908.
They congratulate themselves over
the recovery of Governor Pattison and
commend the Democrats of the leg
islature for forcing the passage of the
two cent fare and other wholesome
laws.

Perennial Celery.

An exchange prints an account of
Il perennial celery. 1t would no doubt
be a good thing for family use. but
whether it would be profitable as
market variety is not so certain. Still
when it can be obtained. we would
advie Il test of its merits.

nursery company at Monroe, Mich,
will pay him a royalty for every plant
it grows and will sell no single plant
for less than 81 while all purchasers
will be bound by contract to sell only
the stalks.
The president of the company says
Bottoms celery is the greatest thing
he has seen in the vegetable line, and
that it will surely revOlutioniZe the
celery industry. The stalks are round,
uniformly crisp and do not rust.

Shall Virginia keep up with the

If Virginia wishes to preserve an
honorable place i'm the march of pro-
gress she must do justice to her land
owners The spirit of our land laws
is the spirit of medieval oppression
and restriction. We are living under
a superannuated system, originated by
Norman lawyers under William the
COn0uerOr. and venerable only as
relic of an antique age. Feudal meth
DDS are not suited to this age. Laws
made when lands were held under
royal grants and sold for ten cents an
acre are not suited to the business
methods and commercial requirements
of this day and gneration.
See that your representatives in the.
House and Senate favor the TOrrens
Bill i'm the next General Assembly.
1t is entirely voluntary. not com
pulsory 1t simply gives you an OPP
porturity to register your lands if you
should see fit to do so.
1t imposes no liability on the Com

There is no valid reason why any
one should object

new deal is made.
The same old titles are guaranteed
over and over again, and every time,
you have to pay the bill.
A conservative estimate, based upon
the returns from the County Clerks
throughout the state, shows that the
people of Virginia paid more than
$500. 100000 for abstracts of titles to
lands in 1904.
This is nearly as much as was spent
upon all the public schools i'm the 100
counties of our state, and more than
half of what was spent for public
education in every city and county of
the Commonwealth.
This heavy and perpetual tax on
the people will be saved by the Tor
rens System of Land Registration. =
1t is not only expensive, but it takes
days and weeks to make an eXam1na-
ton of the title, and so many difficult
ties are encountered that business men
frequently have not the time to bother
with transactions involving so many
problems.
All this makes land hard and slow
to handle. and men hesitate to bury
capital in lands.
The TOrrens System will make your
lands merchantable. 1t will convert
lands into a quick asset and render
them available as a source of ready
commercial credit.
1t operates in the following manner:
1. 4 title is examined once officially
and affirmed by order of Court. That
ends the matter, and cuts out the
endless eXamina tons of titles now
necessary Your title is registered,
and you have made a permanent i'm
provement, which will last as long
as the law prevails, and will never
call for betterments or repairs.
2. You are then given a certificate of
title. which guarantees to all the world
that you have such title as is set
forth therein to the lands therein
described-fOr example, life estate,
or a fee simple, in whole or in part,
free from encumbranceS or subject
to such encumbrances as are mention
ed in the certificate.
3. You can deal with this certificate
of title almost as freely as with a
certificate of stock. because everybody
can see from the certificate exactly
what your title is.
This will put your real estate on a
footing with your personality, and will
add millions to the business capital
of Virginia.
The Torrens Act will help the farm.
ers and everybody who OWNS real
estate in the country, as well as in the
city.
It will kill the business of the land
grabber i'll Virginia.
1t will enable the State to collect
her taxes promptly, and no mans land
when registered, can be sold for de
linQuent taxes without his knowledge
1t will help everybody who deals il
real estate.
1t will lessen the cost of tranSa ctiOn.
in real estate. stimulate and enlarge
the market, and thus increase values
and when poor man buys a home
he will get a good title to it and M
one can take it away from him.
1t will promote development of tn,
whole state by settling titles. And i
will invite immigration. because
strangers will not hesitate to buy sucl
guaranteed titles.
