The whole affair looks to be but
an effort to take care Of ofilce-seekers
and the sooner the rider is stricken
from the bill the easier will 1t be for
the party to clear it's skirts in the
matter. Already it has gone too far.
The wild scramble for appointive Of

and an effort to provide more offices
at the expense OF better service will
certainly put the party in bad light.

State VS.. DenOminatiOnal Colleges.
The State Superintendent Of Educa-
tion has given out some advance fig
ures from the report which he ex-
poets to file with the legislature next
Tuesday. A friend has~called our at
tention to the matter Of colleges,
which a careful study Of the super
intendent's figures reveals. The re-
suits Of our studies are interesting,
and the public should know some
thing Of this matter of higher educa-
ton.
There are thirty institutions for
higher education in tho, State for
white people. OF these, seven are
classed as State schools and three as
private institutions for Wo-
men, Columbia; Converse college, and
the Confederate college in Charleston.
The other twenty are denominational
colleges.
The total number Of men students
in all nc colleges is 3,479; Of women
3,G9l. The figures for denomination
al schools include n students for the
ministry in the theological colleges,
Columbia and Due West; while the
figures for the State colleges include
163 medical students in the Charles
ton Medical college.
Including all. the State is educating
40 per cent. Of the men in college;
the denominations are educating 4S
1-2 per cent. and private schools IL
per cent or the women in college
the State is educating 81 per cent;
the denominations SO 1-2 per cent,
and private schools 10 1-2 percent. OF
the total number Of college students
in South Carolina, the figures are as
follows:
The State is educating 35 per cent.
The denominations are educating
Sd per cent.
Private colleges are educating II
per cent.
These are interesting figures. They
are official, and they show that the
Christian denominations Of South
Carolina are educating more than half
the total number Of college students.
Should the preacher and medical stu
dents be eliminated from the court
the figures would show a greater per-
centage for the denominations and less
for the State.
However, the most interesting part
Of the story IS yet to come. AS far as
can be gathered from the published
figures of the State Superintendent Of
Education, the cost Of education In
the colleges was $1,2S7,123; Of which
the State colleges spent $S23,527 the
hGnominatoma colleges, $3GG,177;
and private colleges, $97,419. Which
is to say, the States portion Of the
cost was Gi per cent, the denominn-
tons 2S per cent, and the private
schools per cent.
The percentage Of students and the
cost Of maintaining the colleges may
better be seen thus:

Torrens System IN North Carolina.

Torrens System IN North Carolina.
South Carolina may learn good
many things from North Carolina
these days. AS we remarked some
time ago, North Carolina is one OF
the progressive states Of the Union
making important advances in many
directions. On January i, the Tor
rens system Of land registration won't
into effect in that state, and the first
real estate transaction In Wake coun-
- vas fortified BY tho states guar
antec to the title.
The Charlotte Observer, comment
ing upon the law, says the features
of "thc law are given in the News
and Observer in connection with Its
report of the Cary transaction and
are to the effect that when purchas-
ing tract of land the buyer can have
special proceedings instituted, this
being the form by which state guar
antee can be secured, and 1t will then
be the duty OF the clerk Of court,
I where the action Is started to appoint
special agent, whose duty Is to look
upon the title. If there should be
no contest to the title the clerk puts
his o. X. mark and the property can
be then registered direct from the
state to the purchaser. In case this
purchaser later sells the state regis
tered property the deed is cancelled
and new one made from the state
to the second purchaser. There will
never be btu one search for title, the
first proceeding standing for all fu-
ture transfers. 1t Is understood that
the costs Of the special proceedings
never be but one scare hfor title, the
state arc nominal and under the now
law such registration Is optional. The
law does not require every regstra-
ton to be under the Torrens system"
1T may be that North Carolina's
example may aid Senator Carlisle's
long advocacy Of such a bill for South
Carolina. The North Carolina law
seems to leave much to be desired,
yet it is step in the right direction.

FINISH CANVASS
OF PETITION.
Every Township in the County Goes
"Wet" and Every Town Except
kiron is in wet Column.
APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN SOON.
Board OF Supervisors Has Strenuous
Time Since the Canvass Commenc.
ed-Worked Without Pay.

The board OF supervisors concluded
the canvass of the saloon petition this
afternoon and announced their find
ings. For several weeks contest
over the question OF whether We are
to have open saloons in the county
has engaged the attention of our peo-
pie. The feeling this year has been
more intense than at other times in
the past when petitions have been
circulated and canyassed. No sooner
had the petition been filed on the 9th
day of December, than strenuous eff
forts We're made to secure withdraw
ais and find way to defeat the petit
/ fion. It was perfectly legitimate for
those opposed to the petition to make
every reasonable effort to defeat it
before the board. We are, however,
inclined to the opinion that there was
too much feeling displayed by both
sides for the good OF the community.
The question is one on which there
may well be 4 difference OF opinion,
and it is unfortunate for community
where Il feeling develops OF such a
character as to leave sore spots in the
future.
Carroll county has had contest
going on during the time it has been
going on here. but there has been at
no time feeling developed to the eX-
tent OF creating hostility, and on yes
terday when the board met to canvass
the vote on the petition the drys,
when they discovered they We're short
on Withdrawals, abandoned the fight
and said that the contest was ended.
The result in this county seems to
be about as follows: There were cast
at the November election 1880 votes.
The board of supervisors find that
after allowing for Withdrawals, 334l
voters signed the statement of con
sent. SiSty-live per cent is what the
law requires in the county. The find
ing of the board shows between 20 and
~ per cent OF the voters OF the. coun
tyi aigned the petition.

OLDEST RESIDENT
OF DENISON DEAD
Mr.. A. F. Bond. Born in Massachusetts
March 12, 1886, Peacefully Pass
ee Away Christmas.
RESIDENT HERE FOR 81 YEARS
Among First Postmasters Of Denison,
Holding the Office Several Years
Also the First Mayor

1t is with deep regret that the Re
view chronicles the death OF Mr.. A.
F.. Bond, the oldest resident of Deni-
son which occurred at his home in east
Denison on December 25, at 10 o'clock
p. m. after an illness OF seven weeks
due to hardening Of the arteries. Mr..
Bond has been in failing health for
several years past but has been able
to be up and about to care for his
little place in the college addition but
about seven weeks ago he was taken
to his bed and rapidly grew worse un-
til he was called to rest on Christmas
DAY. +.
In the death of Mr.. A. f. bond
Denison loses her oldest citizen,
one whom came here before the town
was Incorporated and who figured
prominently in the upbuilding of IT.
He came to Denison when 81 years of
age and for. over fifty-seven years has
lived among us loved and respected
by all. In the history OF Crawford
county we have Cleaned the interest
ing facts concerning the life OF this
esteemed man.
Albert +. Bond was born in Worces-
ter. Mass. March l2. 1886 and was the
son OF Eli b. and Celia Scott tSea-
grave) Bond, both of whom were Of
cid Puritan stock. AS boy he worked
in the Woolen Mills OF Worcester,
where he lived for number OF years
before the family moved TO Oxbridge,
Mass, and in 1851 the family migrated
to Michigan, living first at Hudson and
later at Adrian and then at Peters
berg.
AS young man OF twenty-0ne, Mr..
Bond came to Iowa with his uncle, Mr..
j. D.. Seagrave. The party went from
Michigan to Dubuque by train, bring
ing with them their outfit, consisting
of Horses, wagon and necessary camp
utensils. They then crossed the
plains in q prairie schooner stopping
first in Delaware county where Mi.
Bond had a quarter section Of land
which had been left to him at the
death OF an uncle. They stopped here
long enough to plant the Land to 'wfient'
but as they were anxious to reach their
destination. they did not wait to har-
vest it and started on their journey
west and finally reached Denison
which at that time was hardly more
than name. BY trade Mr.. Bond was
