A Copy Of the Southern Field Free.

Washington, D. c., August 2, .(SpeciaD-
A comprehensive picture of the advan-
tages to be found in the fruit growing
sections of the southeastern states is pre-
scented in the August issue OF 1.-The
Southern Field" the official organ of the
Land and Industrial Department of the
Southern Railway and associated lines,
the circulation Of which will begin In a
issue is devoted to a discussion Of fruit
growing in Virginia, the Carolinas.
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and
Mississippi. The story Of the develop
ment of the growing of apples, peaches,
berries, and small fruits in this territory
is fully told and the opportunities for
future development pointed out.
The farmer interested in fruit growing
who reads this issue can not fail to be
impressed with the great opportunities
which await him in the Southeast. In
addition to the article OF fruit growing
which is splendidIy illustrated there are
other interesting articles. Editorials call
attention to the opportunities for profit
i'm stock raising in the South, the value or
the cotton crop to the country, and the
increase in value of Southern lands. What
can be lone in the East Tennessee country
is shown in an article on pork ralalng,
"a S%partanburg Farmer" tells of results
on q farm in the Piedmont section, anu
the success of Canadians in Northeast
Georgia is told in an interesting manner.
Thousands of copies of this magazine
will be put in the hands of farmers in the
north and northwest who are considered
desirable settlers. Persons already in the
south who have friends living in other
sections of the country whom they wish
TO interest i'm this section can have copies
of The Southern Field sent them by Il
request addressed to NJ. Y. Richards,
Land and Industrial Agent, Southern
Railway, Washington, DC.

In 1896 the candidates for Railroad COM
missioner stated in their campaign address
es that South Carolina was Disseminated
against in the matter of freight rates.
In 1898 the candidates for the Office stated
that South Carolina was Disseminated
same statements. In 1902 the grand old
state was in the same discrimination mire!
In 1904 she still had not pulled out. In
1906 discrimination was the war whoop OF
Tirza from Cansler on down. In 1908 the
candidates, Tirza among the rest, spelled
discrimination with a big "D", and bless
Patty in 1910 we are Disseminated against
Is it not time to do away with the office
Of Railroad commissioner altogether?
How are we to allow a commission to
stand that for years allows the grand old
State to he thus Disseminated against SO
insistently and persistently?
Each candidate for and through all these
years promised faithfully to see to it that
We would not be Disseminated against
and yet each two years we are informed
that we are Disseminated against.
1t does seem that "Old Brother People,
should use some discrimination in select
ing from these disciples of discrimination
| some man who will discriminate between
the State and the Railroads, between a
| six year job and service in behalf of Broth
| er People; but how Brother People" is
going to discriminate between a lot of
candidates where there is nc discrimina-
ton is hard to see. When once elected,
| strange isen'tit, you never hear anything
more about the grand oldState being dis
eliminated against.
Really strange, isen't it? Had you no
ticed it?
No doubt that in 1912 when the candl-
dates for Railroad Commissioners rises to
| state his claims for the office he will inform
"Old Brother People" that the graud old
| State of South Carolina is being discrimi-
mated against in the matter OF freight
rates. And in 1914 the paramount issue
will be that South Carolina is being dis
eliminated against. Judging the future
by the past We confidently look to hear
more about discrimination. Discrimlna-
ton was all argument in the forming OF
| the Railroad Commission. IL also
seem an argument for a%bolishing 1t.
| Great argument-that word discrimina-
ton offers.

The Rooster SAdvCe|

Tommy was in trouble. Tommy was
also in bed, for his trouble was a bro
ken wrist, brought on by hitting the
ground too hard when he fell out Of the
apple tree. He was lying on his white
pillow and dreaming Of the good times
the boys were having outside when the
door opened, and to his great amuse-
ment in walked Jack, the old rooster.
He was carrying a big book under his
wing, and he came straight for the
bed. Tommy felt like crying out with
mingled fear and surprise as He saw
Jack hop up on the table beside him,
but his voice seemed to be stuck some
where down in his stomach. Jack said
nothing. but pulled a big pair. Of spec
tacles from beneath his other wing

The Torrens System.

Among the first questions fired at the
candidates for House of Representatives
was an enquiry as totheir attitude toward
the Torreus system Of registration OF
titles. .
The system gets it's name from Sir
Robert Richard Torrens who first intro
duced the system into South Australia
in 1857. The system provides for govern.
mental inspection Of land titles and in.
surance Of land titles on the part Of the
Government after such titles have passed
inspection. OF course the Government
only guarantees properly registered titles
Such a law would be fought by title
guaranty companies for it would put them
completely out Of business.
The system is a good one, in many re.
spects it Is ideal. Should you wish To
mortgage your place or should you wish
TO- take a mortgage on my place you
would first be reduced to the necessity OF
having the titles traced by q lawyer be-
fore you could move a peg. Each time a
piece Of Real Estate is put under mort
gage some lawyer gets a fee for it. 1t is
not safe to take a mortgage until such
title has been investigated.
Under the Torrens system the regis
tration lands backed by the Government
8 sufficient guarantee without further
investigation. Under this system a title
to Real Eetate is no unknown quantity.
The Government stands between the land
holder and law suits and indemnifies the
land holder in case of loss.
The candidates for the House, while
not repudiating the system, still express
themselves as being rather not in favor
Of it on the grounds that such a system
would work in a new country but could
not successfully be introduced into a
country so old as this. The opinion OF
the candidates seemed to be that titles
to Real Estate in South Carolina were In
such q mystic maize" of a tangle that it
would be impossible to straighten them
out.
If such is the case then We certainly
need the Torrens system more thar any
people on the face Of the globe, for if there
is any thing that ought to be concise
clear, i%rrevocable, it is our titles to land
Some of the candidates expressed them
selves as mot having fully examined the
system and therefore could not offer any
definite platform rs to the measure.

Yesterdays Election.

The primary election held yesterday was
one of the q~uietest ever held here. The
rain Of Monday night and yesterday morn
ing prevented some from getting to the
polls, and no doubt will be against such
candidates as were strongest in the coun-
try.
AS it was at the last primary there was
much Blease talk. One heard the names
of Blease and Featherstone oftener than
any other.
This seems to indicate that our people
are leaving the golden mean and are flying
to either extreme.
Certainly Mr. eatherstone is the strong
est, most sincere prohibitionist in the race
and certainly Mr.. Blease leans further to-
ward the mint julip than any other candi-
date in the race.
On account of this divergence among the
voters many will watch the outcome Of
yesterday with an eager eye. If MIR.
Featherstone gets more votes than MIR.
Blease it will show that our people are
pleased with prohibition and are ready to
take further steps in that direction. Ii,
on the other hand, Mr.. Blease should de-
velop unexpected strength it will undoubt-
eddy indicate that u people are not max
ing progress toward prohibition.
In several Of the other State offices there
was little or no choice on the part Of the
voters. Now and then a friend Of some
particular candidate did him a good turn
In suggesting his support. Owing to the
lack Of interest in such cases the sugges-
lions were usually taken without a ques-
ton.
Even in the county campaign things
were unusually quiet. Messrs. Graydon,
Mars and Lomax, candidates for the Sen
ate, were at the hustings here and all were
in the best of humor and hopeful of the
outcome.
Messrs. Ashley and Moore, candidates
for the House, were here also.

Lyon Attacked at Laurens.

Without knowing anything of ~unfriendly
relations previously existing between Mr..
Crews of Laurens, and Attorney General
Lyon, there was nothing in Mr.. Lyons
remarks to warrant MIR. Crews and his
friends in making a personal assault on
Mr.. Lyon. 1t would have been very much
better for the reputation of the County,
too, if friends of Mr.. Crews had not surged
up in such numbers to attack the speaker.
Attorney General Lyon has had a diff
cult task before him, in the performance
of which he has made bitter enemies. A
man less faithful to his trust might have
tackled where he has hammered. Lyon is
not that class of man. Disagreeable as
has been his duty he has discharged it like
a good citizen and a'true man.

Thev Were Shown.

A. E. Taylor and S. H. Warren,
the head Of the Warren Mortgage
Co., of EmpOria, were giving the
Missouri treatment to a bunch OF
eastern capitalists one day this
week, chief among whom was Mr..
Edmund Gardner, wife and son,
of Troy, N. Y. Ut seems that
through the death Of a relative
the Gardher's came into posses
sion of considerable property In
the shape Of mortgages on Kan
sas farms, made through the War
ren.company. They were not pal
ticularly impressed with Kansas
farms as security, probably due
to their ignorance of this great
country, and desired to cash In
these loans. They were induced
to visit this section before doing
so, and were shown some OF the
fine farms on which they held
small loans, with the result that
before they had. gone very far,
they were hiding their securities
for fear the owners of the land
would want to pay off. It is a
good. thing to get a chance to
show these eastern folks some
thing once in a while.
