Features of the Torrens
System.
The Torrens system proposes once
i and for all to look up a title—to set
" tle the questions of the past and to
assure the present owner that his
, title is good.
FllAs matters now stand.every time
a piece of landis sold or mortgded a
lawyer has to go over the same
ground that was gone over the last
time the land was sold or mortgaged:
% And every lawyer so doing gets his
fee. I was looking up a title last
week. I traced the title back to
1830. Ibad to read some 20 deeds
and examine about 40 mortgages; in
’vestigate judgments against six in
dividuals; look into the settlement
of two estates, and see that the taxes
had been paid for 20 years. A year
¢ago this same land was mortgaged.
Some attorney did then just what I
did last week. The year before the
land was purchased. Some lawyer
then went over the same ground that
I did last week and the other lawyer
did last year. The year before that
this land was purchased by another
man. Againalawyer had to go over
sthe same ground. Every timeit was
mortgaged some lawyer went over
the same ground. I suppose investi-{
-%ations of the title to this lot had cost
all told about $2OO and 20 days’ time. {
The tax valuation of the lot was less
than $l.OOO. In other words, prob-l
ably one-flfth of the tax value of the
land had been spent in title investi
gations.
What the Torrens System pro
poses is to close up the past; to go
over the title once - for all, and to
put an end to the expense and waste
of time required by this eternal pro
cession of lawyers going over the
same beaten path, each taking a fee
®or his work. One lawyer will not
and should not take another’s state
ment of title; but any lawyer will
take the State’s or county’s judicial
assurance of title. ;
& So the sum of the proposition is
| that the State or county shall employ I
" a lawyer to look up titles, and so far
as possible clear them of questionl
I (by judicial process, of course) and
'have the land-owners pay the state
lonce and forever for the service.—

Farmer.

I took asmall dressed plank, paint
ed it dark oak, nailed a strip of
leather on it, tacking the strip at
varying distances, so as to fit my
knives, can openers and other
utensils which I wished to slip in
to the little loops. Under these
loops, I drove nails in the board
and hung any small kitchen utensil
that coula be hung. I bave eaved

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JUNE 7. 1912
lWatson Will Be
‘ Heard at Convention
| Atlanta, Ga., June 4.—Leaders
!of the Underwood party in Georgia,
including the delegation to DBalti
more, are free to admit that any of
them who hoped that Thomas E.
}Watson could be taken to Baiti
‘more with the delegation and vyet
could be prohibited from taking
active part in the proceedings, were
'simply deluding themselves be
!cause they had failed to take into
Lconsideration the parliamentary
‘mode of procedure that would be
‘adopted at the convention.
- The Georgia delegation may
regulate itself to the extent that it
will authorize Chairman Pendleton
and him only to cast the whole
vote of the delegation as a unit,
and tnus prevent Mr. Watson from
having anything to say on Georgia’s
vote, but there is no way on earth
to prevent Mr. Watson from being
recognized as a member of the con
vention whenever he wants tospeak
on any debatable question. The|
choirman of the convention will be
obliged to recognize him, and if he'
goes to Baltimore at all, it seems
certain that he will find opportuni
ty to carry out his program and
denounce William Jennings Bryan,
with whom he has declared his in
tention of locking horns. |

Watson Continues Attacks
Catholic Church
Atlanta, Ga.—The Arrest of
Thomas E. Watson for violating the
postal regulations has not prevent
ed him from making another se
vere attack on the Roman Catho
lic Religion in his current issue of
the Jeffersonian.
Mr. Watson makes the Knights
of Columbus the particular object of
his attack this time, and declares
that they should be disfranchised.
He calls it a “traitorous oathbound
organization,” and charges that it
is preparing to resist by force of
arms any attempt on the 'part of
the United States government to
tax church property. He says that
is one of the objects of its military
feature, and further in the article
criticises the teachings of Catholi
cism in general.
Mr. Watson's Jefiersonian is filled
almost from cover to cover with
further attacks on the Catholic
religion.

RELIEVED OF ITCHING, BURN
ING ECZEMA BY SAXO SALVE.
“1 suffered from eczema, and the
itching was so intense I did not get
a night’s rest for five months. My
face, neck and body was covered
with large red patches. I tried every
eczema remedy on the market, also
six different doctors and a specialist.
God only knows how I suffered with
out relief. As a last resort I tried
Saxo Salve, it stopped the itching at
once and worked like magic. I wish
I could tell every eczema sufferer
what Saxo Salve will do for them.”—
Wm. Delaney, a Spanish war veteran,
355 E. 61st street, New York.
Saxo Salve stops the itching and
heals the skin.
If you have eczema, tetter, ring
worm, barber’s itch or a skin disease
of any kind try it—you get your mon
ey back if it does not help you.

D. B. Mull Writes
From Washington
Fitzgerald Leader Enterprise:
After a very pleasant trip south
to Macon to the re-union and on
down to Fitzgerald, back thro At
lanta, I am again shaking hands
with my Washington friends, I
am always very proud of my
friends wherever and whenever I
meet them,
I have just called on our candi
date Julige Crisp fand found him
in fine spirits. He states that from
what information he gets from the
district that his chance is good to
be our next Representative in the
sixty-third Congress. 1 found that
while I was in the third district
that he hes a fine showing for elec
t.on. If he be elected, we will have
one of the best representatives
ever sent to Washington by Geor
gie., 'He will be a man who will
attend strictly to his official duties.
Being familiar with the Committee
he will be of great service in land
ing the Post Office Appropriation
Bill. We will need a man who is
in touch with ali the members of
Congress. It will be a mistake not
to elect him. D. M. Hughes,
Congressman at present, will be a
great help in aiding the Judge to
get our Post QOftice Bill through.
We want a business man, who
can really do thiugs when they get
there. Knowing Judge Crisp as
I do, knowing him to be of the
highest character and ability I
heartily lecommend him to the
third district, }
National politics are warm here
and getting warmer each day.
We still think that the present
President will be the Republican
nominee and that Champ Clark
will be the choice of the Demo
crats. Clark now has four hun
dred and fifteen votes and Wilson
about three hundred and five.
With the Underwood and Harmon
delegation going to Clark this will
give him a majoiity of the Demo
cratic delegatior,
I see from the l.eader-Enterprise
that Judge George has reduced the
near beer saloons from six d>wn
to one, on account of thzair viola
tions of the law. This shows what
per cent of the saloon men will
violate the law, Had these men

kept on the right side of the law,
they would have been protected in
a legitimate business, The con
dition of the liquor business over
all the states has been caused by
the saloon men violating the law.
I do not believe in women voting;
I do not believe that woran’s place
is at the polls and yet I beleve
that if it comes to the point where
it is a universal thing for women
to cast their ballots beside the men
that they will soon put the saloon
men complewely out of business,
for it is they who fully realize the
awfulness of the curse, it ison
them that the fruits of the son
tall heavily.
