I It may be worth something to the South Caiolina legislature to know that the legislatures of North ' Carolina and Virginia have under consideration the adoption of the : Torrens system of land registra- tion. That such a measure ought ; to be adopted by the general as- 1 sembly of this state there can be \ no question. The present antiquated system of registering land is-both unsafe and expensive. Ev- < ery time a piece of land changes hands thp rpcnrds t-ntier hp cdqrnVinrl for many years back and the law- < yer's fee of $10 or $15 must be borne by the seller or the purchas- . er. If a piece of land is sold today and then resold next year or ( the year thereafter the same process of examining' titles for hundreds of vears back must be gone 1 through with the same as if an examination had never been made and the lawyer must get his fee A land title granted under the Torrens system ould be just as negotiable as a bank note or a United States bond and its collateral value would never quectioncd by the most careful money lender, , The adoption of such a measure * by the genoral assembly would be ; of incalculable value to the agricultural olass esjieciftlly and the farmers of South Carolina should gCt behind their representatives in the legislature and s<e thai it is pa-sed It is strictly in the line of economic and progressive measures. 4 ' .A new era is dawning for Dillop.

But the questior 41 after all is not unanswerable. The j, tailors and dressmakers and milts liners make the styles and worn;s an accepts them as she has acceptg cd her convictions, her morals, y ana her entire relation to^lite with o out question.

But as long as the jingos of both countries are determined on war they may be 1 trusted to find a cassus belli eventually. The kindergarten is said to be ' on the decline. What kind of nation can we hope to become if the youth of the country is allowed to grow up without knowing how to make raffia baskets and tissue paper candles. Since 1900 divorce in this country has increased thrice as fast as the population. But this should give no ope cause for alarm.
