 Of John Masefeld, the novelist, poet and playwright of London. a journalist said at the Franklin Inn. in Philadelphia:
 "I was criticising Masefield in New York the other day. I pointed out. that his work, like that of Baker and Galsworthy, was in many respects amateurish. But a New York critic shouted at me angriiy:
 You don't know what you re talking about John Masefield will one day be ranked above Emerson, above Whistler, above Henty James,
 We'll said l. with grin, ''it must undoubtedly be admitted that Masefield is a better playwright than Emerson. a bet ter novelist than Whistier and . batter poet than James.

Columbia Record: w. H. Gibbes
mayor of Columbia, says, in dictated
statement to a representative or the
Record today, that the druggists or CO.
lumbia have taken umbrage at a state
ment of his in an interview that he is
sued several days ago. Mr.. Gibbes dis
claims any biased opinion as to the
operations Of the pharmacists or the
city, but he does claim, basing his
Judgment on the records Of the police
department. that cocaine is being is
sued unlawfully in Columbia, and.
from a careful review Of the situation,
the evident dispensers must either be
druggists or those that procure the
insidious drug from outside sources.
He also claims that information can
not be procured from the users for
conviction. Mr.. Gibbes' interview fol-
lows: Having heard that many OF
my druggist friends have taken UNI
bragg at a statement contained in my
article in the papers few days since,
l want to beg that they must UNDER
stand me in no way rejecting on their
organization in Columbia. The general
abuse referred to was the large num-
ber of convictions of the victims be-
fore the recorders court. Any citizens
desiring information can go to the po-
lice dockets. AS stated, it has been i'm
possible to get information from the
users to get the servers"

TORRENS LAND SYSTEM.
Matter viii Probably Come up in the
General Assembly This Year.


General Assembly This Year.
The Torrens land system will prob
ably come up for consideration at the
approaching session of the general as
sembly.
The following from the Charlotte
Observer, will therefore be Of interest:
1.-The Observer does not intend to
hold up in it's fight for an improved
North Carolina system Of registering
land titles as long as there is hope Of
persuading the legislature to give the
state a good thing. 1t is admitted on
all sides that an improved law is need
eS. Under the present system in order
to sell or mortgage a piece Of land, Of
say 100 acres, the following things are
necessary:
Cd A lawyer st examine the IT,
ties, at a charge Of say ...... $25 90
Every new transfer or mortgage
means the same.
(2) A lawyer must draw a new deed,
at an expense of say ........ 90
CD Recording deed ..... 80. ..$ 30
A total of ........ ...... ....S3l o0
Every time land Is sold or transfer
red this expense is charged, and moth
ing is guaranteed According to the
proposed new way to transfer or use
100 acres of land on mortgage to bor-
row money: the state would have 1t
surveyed, and If necessary, put II
through the courts and give title
guaranteed by the state. Then in case
of sale, deliver the new paper for keeps
by signing it over. In case OF use for
mortgage, sign it and hand it over to
the man or banker loaning the money
It is a private transaction and no pub
licity or expense is incurred unless this
debt is defaulted. This is in effect the
same as is sometimes called the Aus
tralian or Torrens system"
