the best Childs Coat in the house, and the

also moires, corduroys and some with Ro-
man striped silk collars, cuffs and sashes
Drop shoulders and kimono sleeves-skele-
ton Innings, patch pockets and fancy but

a twelve-month will mothers be offered an
other such opportunity, either here or else

Sleepy and ready for

Clemson college, April %: Secre-

board of fertilizer control, is reminding
farmers Of their privilege Of drawing

control, realizing the large expenditure
OF money for commercial fertilizers
this season and the widespread appre-
hension among farmers that a large
amount Of worthless filled and inferior
materials are being used in their man.
ufacture, wish to remind farmers that
1t is the privilege Of every purchaser
for his own use to draw and send q
sample of his own fertilizer to Glenn
son college, have 1t analyZed and its
analysis reported directly to him,
withou. other cost. There Is law
made by the legislature, not by the
college this analysis. and
to aid the farmers to comply the Sec
retary has sent 20 every county dem
onstration agent in the state q pack
age Of directions for drawing samples,
giving the section Of the law, and a
blank certificate to be filled as the law
requires. He has requested these
agents to distribute and explain these
directions to those farmers who may
wish to use them. Farmers getting
materials for home mixing, either
sacked or in bulk, can have these an
alyzed by drawing and sending sam
Piles in the same way. They can in
this way know just what they have

Small arain is looking well all over
the county and the oat crop is espe-
cially good. Unfortunately the wheat
acreage is small; but what there is OF
T. is good.
If Yorkvile was filled with summer
visitors, there would be more business
than there is in the summer time. The
people who spend their vacations
away from home are generally people
with money, and they are not slow
about turning that money loose.
Mr.. r. L. Campbell declares that
Bethel has more fine grain, clover
vetch, alfalfa, rye and the like than
any other section Of the county, and
when 1t comes to such matters 1t will
have to be admitted that Mr.. Camp.
bell is a careful and discriminating
Judge. There is no doubt Of the fact
that he can show some excellent crops
on his own account.
A public lake or swimming poo
would contribute very materially tC
the summer recreation and pleasure OF
the people of Yorkville If 1t were pro-
vided 1t ought to be an easy matter
to find a suitable location for such q
pool on some one Of the nearby
streams around the town, and II prop
erly managed there would be no trou-
BILE about proper maintenance by the
charging Of reasonable fees.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1914-05-01

A correspondent Of the Progressive
Farmer objects to the Torrens system
on the ground that because it would
make it easier to sell or mortgage
farm, landowners would be more in
clined to go into debt. This is about
the only argument we have ever
known in support of the hocus pocus
that now surrounds land titles, and we
are a little surprised that we have not
seen it before in connection with the
agitation in favor of the Torrens sys-
tenn. The thing this correspondent
would have us understand, Of course,
is that the heavy tax for the benefit Of
lawyers that is now laid on the trans
fer or mortgaging of real estate makes
people slower about selling their land
or using it as security. AS a matter Of
fact this is the excuse that was orig
inally given for levying this tax; but
not honest now All those taxes were
levied In the first place solely for the
purpose Of furnishing fat fees for the
legal profession, and they are still
maintained for that same purpose,
From time immemorial 1t has been
understood that the owners Of the
land constitute the highest and most
intelligent and most conservative type
Of property holders, and no conceiv-
able property transfer offers better
opportunity for the collection Of q
heavy tax from somebody. Because
the purchaser is naturally the more
eager party to the transaction, the
general custom has 1t that the ''pur-
chaser must pay for papers" In real
ity it amounts to the same thing either
way, but 1t appears easier for the
seller. In the case Of loan the tax Is
often collected from both sides. Where
a land owner is distressed, the eX-
pense Of transfer or q mortgage is sell
dom if ever a detriment even under
present conditions, and we do not be-
lieve there would be any less reluc-
tance to part with land under the Tor
rens system. The principal and in
fact the sole advantage Of the new
idea is to get rid Of tax that was
never necessary and which should not
now be levied, and we do not believe
transfers will become any more fire.
quent under the Torrens system than
they are now.
