CHANCERY CLERKS
GET neat PICK UP
Insurance Commissioner Rules That
Every Statement Recorded Must
be Paid for in Each County.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 16.-The ques-
ton was recently raised as to whether
insurance companies must pay for
each statement recorded by the chan
Gerry clerk of each of the counties in
the state, and the decision of the de-
partment of justice, handed down by
Assistant Attorney General Carl Fox,
is that they must pay for each and
every recordation.
This means an increase of about
$50 year in the fees of every chan
Gerry clerk in the state, as, heretofore
only one fee of so cents has been
charged for recording all the state
ments of the companies, which were
sent out in book form.
The question was raised through the
insurance commissioner, who sends
out the statements to be recorded
The statement of each company is
placed in booklet, and one of these
oOhb " CuNh ShohCCly ClcIh W Dt
recorded, as required by law. The
companies have been paying 80 cents
for recording all these statements in
each county, and as there are over
100 of the statements, it means a
neat little increase in the fees of the
clerks of the state.
The question was brought up some
time ago, when Mr.. Fox held that
the law required a fee for recording
each statement, and the insurance
men wanted General Hudson to pass
on the matter, which he has done
agreeing with Mr. Fox in his position
in the matter.

awaiting eagerly the annual battle

From all appearances it will be the
greatest that the South has witnessed
In many years. So far, Vanderbilt
has shown the strongest defense, hav-

Mississippi getting a safety and two
points; Sewanee has been scored
against frequently, but she has also
piled up bigger scores against her
opponents than has Vanderbilt. Both
teams are vigorously claiming the vic

ever, are willing to grant that it will
be the great battle of the season.

YaIe-Harvard Boom.
New Haven. Conn, Nov. 1e.-Tick-
cts to the Yale-Harvard football game
here next Saturday are worth nearly
their weight in radium. The demand
is twice as great as in any previous
year, according to the management,
and nearly 10000 alumni and under
graduate applications have already
been thrown out because of inability
to fill the orders. Offers of from $50
to 800 apiece are made for the paste
boards by spectators. Two tickets
is the most allotted to any Yale or
Harvard man and a large proportion
of the seekers have been cut off with
single admission. Not single out
slider has secured tickets.
This unprecedented demand has
renewed the demand here for the
building of a Yale stadium. The
present stands seat only $4,000 and
the clamor for tickets to the game of
next Saturday would exhaust seat
ing capacity of 100000. Yale has no
idea of erecting a stadium that will
meet such general demand as that
but estimates that a structure for
10000 persons will accommodate the
students, alumni and few guests.

charge of the building plans for the
proposed stadium. They sent Ever

ARE DISCUSSING
1ORRENS system
Would Save Property Owners Large
Fees for Frequent Title Searches
and Would Facilitate Loans.

Hattiesburg real estate men and
large land owners are interested in
the Torrens system of court certiti-
cation of land titles. Louisiana real
estate men are urging the adoption OF
the system by the state. A bill to
that effect will be introduced in the
next assembly.
From what l read of it," said
prominent agent yesterday, that sys-
tenn would certainly facilitate loans
and as we'll real estate deals. l in
tend to look more into the plan"
The system, according to those in
terested in the matter, is very simple,
and could involve but one thorough
examination of the titles, making I'M
necessary an additional examination
whenever a transfer is made for a
loan on the property.
Mr.. Edward Wisner, president of
the Louisiana Meadows Company, at
of the land business in Louisiana for
many years, in speaking of the Tor
rens system, declared that it would be
the greatest boon to the land owners
of that state that could possibly be in
auguarted.
"The system is very simple" says
Mr.. Wisner. For instance, if | own
1000 acres of land and want to place
it under the Torrens system l would
simply go to the court for an adjudi-
cation of the titles, and after this had
| been made I would be granted a GER
| tificate of title from the recorder.
This certificate would be my proof of
ownership in any and all cases, and
if I should want to borrow money on
| that land the certificate would be rec
| ognized by the banks without new
examination.
There was an attempt made sew
eral years ago to have the system
adopted by the legislature, but it was
defeated, as it was not understood.
Would Stop Fees.
las the system would stop all nota-
rial fees it's adoption would probably
| be discouraged by the notaries. But
it would be great thing for the peo-
pie.
"As it now stands" said Mr.. Wis
er, ''if man wants to borrow S100 on
lot, it costs him big percentage to
have the title examined by an attor-
ney, and it costs him the same every
time that the examination is made.
1t is understood that the organiza.
\ ton composed of the real estate and
land people of Louisiana will be
formed to promote interest in the sub.
iect, and that an active campaign
will be inaugurated to gain the desired
end.
