The number at the meeting
had been small, excluding the

and during the baraza Teita
who apparently did not care to

cernedly up and down the road

Y y
Of the cab drivers has been
that the District Commission
ers might retaliate, requiring
a driver to be a District resi-
dent before his cab can be
licensed. Were this done they
say, some 1000 cabbies living
in Prince Georges but driving
cabs for District fleets would
have to move or give up their
jobs.
While the District heads
have the power to retaliate. 1t
is unlikely that they will do
so. It is possible the new Dem
ocratic administration which
took over county control the
other day may do something
about the situation and il Is
probably that such q request

After all the trouble l escaped
with a picture that was sure to
be the best they had ever had
made. AS I hurried to the dark
room and prepared all of the
chemicals for the processing of
the pics / could see myself taking
several hundred orders and max
ing more money than I've ever
dreamed existed. / thought of
four different ways to spend the
money I was going to make on
the prints as l reeled off the
first one for quick look.
Today, I'm just as poor as
ever. Not one of the ladies
bought single picture and it's
all the fault of the lady who
gritted her teeth as 1 adjusted
the camera. Just as / flashed the
bulb and exposed the film the
lady opened her big mouth and
all I could see in the picture was
two sets Of lowers. 1t was a uni
que picture-not often are we
blessed with one of those smiles
that has a gap in it. / was the
only one who thought it hilari-
ously funny and I'm not one
cent richer for it. Oh well, I'd
rather be happy than rich but
just for kicks I'd like to be I'M
happy in comfort several months
out of the year just so 1 could
tell you how IL felt.

THIS is THE L AW

causing the buyer to give up the
land.
For example, the law requires
that the owners of the property
be notified of such foreclosure by
a summons which must be per-
sonally served if the owners can
be found by diligent search with
in the state. Often this cannot
be done because the owner has
abandoned the property and
moved to another community,
and his residence is unknown to
county officials. When the prop
erty becomes more valuable at
later date, the purchaser finds
it is almost impossible to avoid
having the property taken from
him by the former owner who
can show that if county officials
had made a diligent search, they
could have personally served a
summons on such former owner.
Often the executor of an estate
finds it necessary to sell the real
estate for the purpose of obtain
ing funds to pay the debts of the
deceased. In doing SO, the exc
cutor must remember that the
real estate belongs to the heirs
of the deceased and not to the
estate itself, or to the executor.
1t is merely subject to the call of
the executor, who may sell it
to pay debts If the personal prop
erty Of the deceased is insuffici-
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-04-14

ent for this purpose. In making
such sale, however, the executor
must give to each heir proper
notice that the sale will be made,
must prove the insufficiency of
the personal property of the de-
ceased to pay the deceased's
debts, and must otherwise COM
ply with the requirements of the
law authorizing such sale. A
failure to do any of these things
may create a defective title to
the property sold. Correcting
such defects as difficult and oft
en- very expensive if they are
discovered until after the estate
is closed.
In addition, the purchaser of
property which is sold under
order of court usually gets a deed
without warranty, so if the title
is found to be defective, the own
er has no one to whom he can
turn and demand payment OF
his damages.
Every attorney has seen doz-
ems of clients invest life savings
in property having defective
titles such as outlined above.
Your attorney would much rath-
er charge you a small fee for
examining your title and protect
ing your investment than large
fee for trying to clear a cloudy
title. More about title search
next week.

would hesitate to make his complaint to
the proper authorities. After all the prob
lens he complains about are usually so
minor that they could be taken care of in
short order-then the critic would have
no pet subject for the time being.
The statistics in Primers report are en-
couraging in many respects. Listed among
the graduates are 20 teachers. If every
community could follow through and pro-
vide 20 teachers for every $50 graduates
then the teacher shortage would be solved.
1t is quite a tribute to every teacher in
the school system when students are so
impressed that they have the desire to
enter the teaching profession.
Another fact which the teachers can be
proud is the leadership qualities develop
ed by the students under their careful
supervision. Percentage wise, there are
probably more college student leaders who
list their home as Tabor City than any
other town its size in the country.
Now that the critics are probably hiding
in the corner attempting to find some way
to overcome the tremendous impact of the
survey it will be wise to remember that
records speak louder than words.
There's no getting around it-educa-
tional standards at the local school are on
the same plane with the best of them.

TITLE EXAMINATION

How often you have heard an
expression such as, Il bought my
property (real estate) at a sale
ordered by the court, so l know
my title Is good" Thousands of
dollars are spent annually for
the purchase of property held at
sales to collect taxes, settle
estates, and the like, without ex-
animation of titles because of the
mistaken belief that the courts
assume a responsibility for the
condition O: the title.
Any title attorney will tell you
tint. as q class. titles which have
been through court proceedings
contain more defects that any
others. Generally. the court has
no duty other than to pass on
the issues submitted to it. The
condition of the title to property
to be sold is not usually one Of
the issues. 1t is up to the buyer
to satisfy himself as to the con-
dition Of the title.
To take a mans land from him
and sell it is very serious mat
ter. Yet, this can be done to COL
lect the taxes due on it. In doing
SO, however the county or
municipality must follow closely
the procedure required by the
law. If any detail is overlooked,
a sale pursuant to the foreclosure
may later be set aside, thereby

Editorials
Records Speak Louder Than Words

We congratulate c. H. Primer for his
excellent research on the accomplishments
of Tabor City High School graduates dur
ing the past Is years. 1t is enlightening
to have proof that the size of the town or
school has nothing to do with the out
standing achievements of the students
The record proves that approximately 40
percent of the local graduates continued
their education for at least one year fol-
lowing the graduation.
"They just don't get the proper training
and they lack the background needed to
compete with students from larger
schools is a rather popular remark
throughout the country. Judging from Mr.
Primers report the remark is merely a
defense weapon used by parents and stu
dents just in case the going gets too rough
and the student gets squeezed out early
in his college career.
Primer takes a solid poke at the critics
who foam at the mouth over the minor
details and toss past accomplishments of
the school to the wind. Usually the critic
who means the loudest is the one who
makes no effort to help improve the
school, He never finds time to express his
views to members of the school board. 1t
stands to reason that the cynical critic

she seemed to have confidence in

my spirit and quickened me to

why you got that long beard?

Carroll says what he can't und-

many different colors. Some Of it
is almost red. Some is grey and
the rest black. Anyhow, 1t Is quite
