the law now stands those who carry
concealed about the person a deadly
weapon can come into court and
plead guilty, and the probability is
that the magistrate will fine them
about twenty dollars. This is IL
cense in a sense to violate the law.
The law should be amended so that
the court of General Sessions would
have Jurisdiction, and those who carry
concealed weapons should be punish
ed severely, and if am elected shall
do my best to have passed strict
law forbidding the carrying of pistols
We will have less murders when the
law is made stricter in violation OF
an act forbidding the carrying of a
pistol.
Third.
1 am in favor of a reasonable ap-
preparation for the Confederate sol
diers. The appropriation of Two
Hundred and Fifty Thousand dollars
is not sufficient, and if am elected
I shall do my best to have more
money appropriated for them, and
think the Pension Law should be
amended so that all the old soldiers
should receive an annual amount to
be paid monthly The State should
show its gratitude to the men who
wore the gray and fought so bravely
and who after the war struggled
manfully, and rebuilded devastated
country. They are directly respon-
sible for the richness of the South
today. In few more years they will
rest in their graves and let us not
wait until they are dead to drop a
flower on their grave, but show our
appreciation of their services now by
helping them. May God bless the
old soldier, and provide for all of
his wants, and if am elected shall
use all of my strength and influence
for a better appropriation. and an
appropriation for all the old soldiers.
Fourth.
A very important thing for any
County or State is good roads. They
help the farmer to convey his pro-
duce to the towns and railroads with
ease and swiftness; they help the
business man and farmer who has to
go in his automobile on business;
they help the corporation. Good
roads are the best assets any County
can possess, and they help everything
and everybody am in favor of
better roads and shall do all can for
their betterment.
Fifth.
am in favor of land registra-
ton act whereby all titles in this
State shall be assured; settled and
registered. This can be accomplish
ed, and if l am elected l shall do
my best to have passed such a law.
North Carolina enacted law like
this in 1913 and it took effect on
January /, 1914. In this act it is
provided that any person being in the
peaceable possession Of land within
the State and claiming an estate of
inheritance therein, may prosecute a
special proceeding in rem against
all the world in the Superior court
for the county in which such land is
situate, to establish his title there
to; to determine all adverse claims
and have the title registered, and the
decree therein shall operate directly
on the land and establish and vest
an indefeasible title thereto. An eX-
aminer is appointed by the clerk of
the Superior court for each county
and it is his duty to examine the
titles in said county. Suit for reg
stration Of title shall be begun by
petition to the court by the person
claiming the land; the petition shall
be signed and sworn to by each pc
titioner. shall contain a full descrip-
ton of the land to be registered, to-
gether with plot of the same by
metes and bounds, shall show when.
how and from whom it was acquired,
and whether or not it is now occu-
pied, and if so. by whom, and shall
give an account of all known liens.
interest, equities and claims, adverse
or otherwise, vested or contingent,
upon said land Full names and ad-
dresses if known, Of all persons who
may be interested by marriage or
otherwise, including adjoining own
ers and occupants. shall be given
