Death OF n Child.

Little James, the seven months old
son of Mr., and Mrs. ]. Walter Hellams
and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. r. II.
Donaldson, died on Thursday morning
February the 22nd. 1912 at the home
of its parents in this city. He was a
lovely child and won the hearts of
many during the little space of time
that God gave him here on earth. We
loved James very dearly, but God is
too good to be unknd and too wise
to make any mistakes. We bow in
humble submission to His Will.

TORRENS SYSTEM NOT
BEFORE LEGISLATURE
was Much Discussed Last Year but
Free Conference Couldn't Agree.

Columbia, Feb. 22.-The legislative
session is nearing an end, at least so
Tar as any practical disposition of
new business is concerned, and still
through the entire period in which
the houses have held sessions, not a
word has been heard of the Torrens
system of land registration. The ut
ter absence OF any mention whatever
OF this scheme for the better record
ing of land titles comes somewhat as
Il dull climax to the various discus
slohs and expenditures Of gray mat
ter which were occasioned by the
proposition during the 1911 session.
| Mr.. Archie Willis, newspaper man
and representive from Laurens coun-
ty and Senator j. r. Earle of Oconee
were among the promoters of the
Scheme last year, and a number of
learned and careful arguments on the
subject were given in their respective
houses on this system of land regis
tration. Bills were introduced in both
houses to establish this system of land
| registration, but members of both
houses did not appear to relish the
idea of passing so quickly a matter
of such depth and little or no action
was taken on these bills.
Houses Couldn't Agree.
The journals of the house and sen
ate for the 1911 session show an in
teresting disposition of the Torrens
system, which is probably one of the
reasons why the system has not been
brought to the attention of the gen
eral assembly this year. Upon hear
ing the discussions of the senate bill
proposing to establish the Torrens
system of land registration, the SEN
ators were of the opinion that this
proposition, like other things, should
be investigated" and reported upon
before the general assembly should
commit itself for or against it.
A Joint resolution was accordingly
introduced by Senator Carlise OF
Spartanburg (now chairman of an
other investigating commi. .ee) pro
viding for the appointment of a com
mission to investigate the Tokrens
system of land registration, to pre-
pare bill for its adoption, and tc
report the same to the next annual
session of the general assembly"
This resolution passed the senate
and was sent to the house, where that
body amended it by striking out all
after the resolving words and insert
ing provision that the house and
senate judiciary committees be direct
ed to investigate and report upon the
system
Free Conference Split.
The senate declined to accept this
change, and the house insisted upon
it, and in accordance with the usual
course of legislation, a committee of
free conference, consisting of Scna-
tors Carlisle, Stewart and Earle, and
Representatives Earle, Willis and Ir-
by, was appointed to consider the
measure

WAIALEE SCHOOL
PLANS DISCUSSED

This morning, in the superinteud-
ent of public works office, the plans
for the Waialee Industrial School
were gone over by w. T. Pope of the
education department, and Marston
Campbell.
The lay of the ground at the site
for the new building is such that
some extensive excavation may have
to be done in order to locate the
structure. After a discussion it was
decided to send Engineer Reiks down
to the school in order that he may
ascertain exactly what needs to be
done in the way of excavation.
Over at the Judiciary building good
progress is being made with the rem
ovating of the structure. All the steel
work is about finished in the Eva end
OF the building, and the air drills are
now boring holes in the walls of the
Waikiki end.

KOREAN HAS

while feeling good and frisky, and
loaded to the very guards with some

The firemen came roaring down but
no fire could they see. They said
harsh things, these gentlemen, CON

him hiking it as fast as he could run
and giving chase, in a soup-house, he
captured Yee Gee Yum.

These facts and several incidents
showing what the work of the Y. M.

been during the past fiscal year were
included in the report of the educa-

In the report were several anec-
dotes which related the cases Of
young men who came here from the
Coast without jobs or experience, and
through the combined aid of the night
school and employment departments
were placed in paying positions.
One of these told of a young man
who came here from Los Angeles
some months ago. He was unable 70
find ordinary clerical work, and was
forced to take a position assisting
at electrical construction work, which
paid a salary of $3.50 a week
According to the story told in the
report, he took a course in shorthand
at the Y. NJ. C. A. night school, and
as a result has been able to take
position which pays him SIS a month

The complainant in the case of

o'clock this morning and a recess
was taken until two o'clock this aft
ernoon, when the defense was to be-
gin the putting on Of witnesses.
Only two witnesses were on the
stand this morning, each of them for
but a brief period of time. The
cIoss-examination of Albert Horner,
the complainant in the case, was con-
cluded yesterday afternoon, but this
morning he was called again on re-
direct. Only a few questions were
asked him, however, none of which
elected anything of general interest.
The other witness was r. w. Shin
gle. He was asked about two ques-
tons, in regard to an offer alleged
TO have been made to him by Frank
Thompson on behalf of Albert Horn
er to sell out for $26O,OOO, Shingl
stated that he at that time told
Thompson he had no authority to en-
ter into any negotiations along that
line. and the matter was dropped.
