turned out to be worthless.

THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA.

Politics In Virginia Is getting at
very interesting stage. There are
three tickets In the field: Republi-
can, Democrat, and Socialist. The
Republicans have had the Democra-
tic candidates on the defensive since
the beginning Of the campaign and
are now making dates for prominent
speakers from all over the country.
Among the prominent speakers will
be one or more members Of the Pres
ident's Cabinet and the final outcome
of the Virginia campaign will be
watched with interest all over the
country. The Socialist will draw
many votes from the Democratic par.
ty, and the vote on election day
promises to be very close.

j. r. Giles Crushed by Steam Roller

Asheville, Oct. 13.-Watching his
chance to escape from his guard, J.
R. Giles of Wilmington. a patient at
one of the local sanitariums, late to-
day leaped under the moving wheels
of a 15-ton steam road machine, his
life being crushed out instantly.
Mr.. Giles came here about two
weeks ago and entered private san
itarium and had previously made at
least one attempt to commit suicide
shortly after his arrival here, when
he attempted to cut his throat with a
pocket knife. The authorities OF the
sanitarium knowing this had assign
ed him to the care of a guard and
while out walking today near Cor
mans Bridge, about four miles from
Asheville, where the road machine
was at work, Mr.. Giles watched his
chance and before his guard could
stop him he had leaped between the
front and rear rollers and his life
was snuffed out before the driver
Jack Balm, could stop the machine.

A DEAR EXPERIENCE.

Those South Carolina farmers who
during the summer contracted to sell
a certain number of bales at ten
cents per pound are now convinced
that they should never count their
chickens before they are Matched
Many of the farmers around Spar
tanburg contracted to sell more cot
ton than they have been able to pro-
duce, and as result, have been
forced into the market to buy cotton
at three and a half cents a pound
more than they received for the same
cotton. In our opinion, the farmers
made a mistake to sell their cotton
for future delivery, but their great
est mistake was in agreeing to deliv-
or stipulated number of bales when
er a stipulated number of bales
when they had no guarantee thai
they would gather that much from
this years crop. AS matter of fact
some of those farmers will not re
ceive more than seven cents for thi.
years crop of cotton. While the,
sold 1t at ten cents, yet many had t.
buy cotton at 13s cents on which
they lost 81 cents a bale, which GU
down the price for the same numbel

pound. Whatever the price or cro]
may be next year, it is safe to sa,
that the Spartanburg farmers will
not sell their cotton before it is pick

THE TORRENs SYSTEM.

The last Legislature authorized the
Governor to appoint a Commission to
Investigate the Torren's System of
Registering Land Titles. That Com
mission meets in Raleigh this week.
A bill was introduced in the last Leg
islature providing for the adoption of
a system of registering land titles,
and while the passage Of this bill
was urged by Senator ] o. Matthews.
OF Sampson County. and other prom
lent members of the General Assem-
bly,, yet the passage of the bill was
postponed for this Commission to in
vestigate and report to the next Cen
eral Assembly.
We do not know that the Torrens
System, or the measure introduced
in the last Legislature is the proper
solution Of our present difficulty with
our land titles. yet some system SIM
liar to the Torrens System seems to
be in public favor.
Under our present system every
farmer or business man, who buys
or sells real estate. must go to the
expense of hiring lawyer to investi-
gate the title to the property to be
sold or transferred. ALI the land once
belonged to the State and every tract
has been granted by the State to
some one of its citizens, and these
tracts of land have changed hands
from time to time through several
generations, perhaps, and many of
tnem have passed through various
court proceedings and law suits. and
often no one but a lawyer can tell
whether the title to any particular
tract is good or not. Lawyers charge
large fees often to pass on those
land titles. and the next time this
same tract of land changes hands,
another lawyer is employed to do this
same work again and another fee for
the land purchaser to pay. If this
tract of land changes hands a dozen
times, a lawyer must have a fee in
each transaction to pass upon the IT,
tie. If the title to each tract was in.
Vestigated once for all and then reg
istered, there would be no more law
yer fees for searching titles, and
thousands Of dollars would be saved
each year to the farmers and bust
ness men who buy and sell real es-
tate. and there would be more Sc
curity and confidence in land trades.
There would be few lawsuits grow
ing out Of defective land titles and
much expense would be saved in liti-
CATION alone. Most lawyers favor
