Thu news in the Associated Press dispatches of Thursday that J. Bry son Patton had been "plucked" from Ute United States nuvy was u sur prise to his friends. Lieut. Patton is li son of Rev. Dr. E. L. Pnttnn. for many years president of Erskine Col lege and later head of the department of ancient languages ut the state uni versity in Columbia. Dr. Patton was one of the most powerful intellects that the south has over produced and his sons have been gifted men, the late H. Cowper Patton having been regarded as the most brilMant man in public life in this state during his short hut rat luir remarkable career. J. Bryson Patton, received his chris tian name from an uncle. Rev. Dr. John H. Bryson, for many years rec tor of the First P osbytorian church in Columbia, ile was. a Confederate chaplain and a "lighting parson" and it is said that he had some clashes with Rev. Dr. Jos. R. Wilson, who preceded him in the astoratc. Dr. Wilson was a professor In the Theo logical Seminary-during the time of The Times Dem Good men are slow in announcing for the legislature In many counties in tho state. The legislature offers few attractions for a man of affairs u man whose success in his own bus iness would promise success in man aging in purt tho state's affairs. The Hine of year is unsuited. Courts are in session and lawyers who know the laws and its defects and Its needs, are busy in court. For them io go to the legislature would mean a sacrifice of clients, for the future. Merchants as a rule rarely take enough interests in politics than to do more than vote. It is to the farming class that the people have generally looked for their legislative representatives. Aside from lawyers, the farmers are tho best informed people In the country. And their views are generally un colored and usually for the interests of humanity as a whole, and for law and order. Let Us Have a We do hope that the new city coun cil will make some arrangements for a poliee patrol. Long has it been a nuisance to have drunken, lighting, screaming men baulud through the city to tl.e lock-up. and attention has been called to it until repetition grew tiresome. For lunately the city has been on its good behavior recently ?nd it has been some months since any misconduct-n* that,.kind has-been observed"!"

A gentleman was in this office last night and ?aid that he had been down South Main street and that while waiting on the car to come to town about 5 o'clock, the policeman at the Orr Mills come out of a side street carrying a "drunk" and our visitor stated th.it he was asked by the offi cer to assist him in getting the un rm-It Is Ours K Tu improve the south's highways ami railroads, river? and harbors until Iii?*) an* adequate to lix* needs ni n might) people. 1?.

There is one oilier plank that we would add and it is: To work for a hotter system of marketing the crops I hun we have. Ker the lack of suit able markets millions of dollars are lost annually by our people. Fruits, vegetables and other pro ducts can bu ?rowii in this state in abundance, but when the llrsl bounti ful crop is produced and there is no way to market the stud' the fanners Hot discouraged. There should be a better system of co-operation among the farmers. Whenever hy a community of inter ests they can ship in carload lots, they may lind it highly profitable to produce Irish potatoes, cabbage and onions in abundance. These find a ready sale on the great markets-if we can ever get them there. tton "Plucked the tiresome Woodrow-Gireaudeau controversy which nearly split the Southern Presbyterian church. Dr. Woodrow and Dr. Wilson were broth ers-in-law. The latte rwas the father nf Woodrow Wilson. Bryson Patton has been regar'td ns one of the south's chief contribu tions to the United States navy. In the great naval hattte off Santiago in which Cervera's fleet was sunk, he was in charge of a gun which took he flag off of Cervera's flagship. Pat on was considered at that time the nest expert shot among the naval of icers. He wrote several letters for he South Carolina newspapers de icribing that great naval fight, and ils leiiers were greatly enjoyed. Mr. tatton was at that time on tl$> Brook yn, and watched the whole fight rom thc bridge. Mr. Patton's being plucked out of he navy means an involuntary re irement on pay to make room for 'ounger officers to bc advanced. This s a luw or custom ano ls not by any neans a reflection upon the officers, mt means that the younger blood and Good Men In sending men to the legislature, he ruters should Inquire several binga-are they tit morally, are they uited temperamentally, ure (hey oiled lo become useful In the general Lsscmblv. are they men who can be runted, can be relied upon, are their 'lews clear of prejudice, are their deals high, are their purposes tinsel. Ishf Wc beard one man who was sollct d to offer for the legislature say that t would cost him around $1,000 if ie should bc elected, as it would take, ilm away from his business at a crit ical time. These are times which demand men four-square to every wind that .lows." These men must be willing a make sacrifices. "Virtue must be ts own reward." for "republics aro ngrateful." it is true, but in these (mes when people demand leader hip, thc man who makes a sacrifice nay be the one who is honored in the ears to come.

There are two things we would Ike o aee our legislative delegation fight or, the enacting of a bill along the Ines of the Torrens land registra lon act, ar.r. an inheritance tax bill. Kvcry person who own? real estate or who proposes to buy real estate should endorse thu Torrens bill, tor it gives a title that is guaranteed for ever, with no more lawyers' fees. Such a bill has been on the calendar of the legislature for two years, but 'has always been misunderstood. The To: -ens system proposes once and for ail to look up a t it IQ-to set tle the questions of the past and to assure the present owner that his title ls good; It will savo lawyer's fees und will guarantee the title. No lawyer will do that now. As matters now stand, every time a piece of land is sold or mortgaged a lawyer bas to go over Hie same ground that wan gone over the last (lino the land was sold or mortgaged. And every lawyer so doing get's his fee. A writer In The Progressive Farm er of Haleigh. N. C., says: "I was looking up a title last week. .1^traced the title back to 1830. I had to read some 20 deeds and examine about 40 mortgages; investigate judgments against six individuals; look into thc 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. Year be fore that, this lund was purchased by another man. Again a lawyer hud to go over the same ground. I suppose Investigations of the title to this lol had cost all told about $200 and 20 days' tune. The tax valuation of the lot was less than $1,000. In other words, probably one-fifth of the tax value of the land bud been spent in title investigations. "What the Torrens system pro peses is lo close up the past; to go over the title once for all, and to put an end to the exponte and waste of time required by this eternal proces sion of lawyers going over the same beaten path, each taking a fee for his work. One lawyer will not and should not take another's statement 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 a lawyer to look up titlet;, and so far as possible clear them of question (by judicial process, of course) and have the land owners pay thc state, once and forever for the service." WHENCE THE DOLLAR? Some days ago at thc suggestion of Mr. C. C. Langston, this paper inquir ed as to the origin of the custom of the jury in each case giving $1 to the tarty in whose,',favor a verdict is ren dered. Mr. J. B. Lewis stated that tho custom ls as old as this nation, and came ?bout through the wish of the fortunate litigant to eec that the Jury received refreshments. Mr. O. H. Geiger, the United States referee In bankruptcy, cites that this IB not only a custom, but a law. He does not know where it originated, but lt was enacted Into law on Feb ruary 14th, 1791, and is found in Vol. V of the statutes at large, on pago 154. The act ls signed by David Ram say, president of the senate and Jacob Read, speaker of the house. It comes under the head of an act "to establish salaries of the public government and for ascertaining and regulating the fees to be taken to those who by law may be entitled to them"; and among other things it provides "To the Jury, in each cause tried. Ave shillings." This has been the law since then and down to today, for Section 4,041 of the code of laws of 1912 says: "The jury in each case tried in the court of Common Pleas shall receive one dollar from tho party in whose favor the verdict is rendered, to be taxed with the costs of thc action." So far. so good. Now we would Uko to hear if anybody else knows the cause of passing this statute. WESTMINSTER LIKES'IT. Bro. A. L. Gossett. editor of the Tugaloo Tribune of Westminster, the most comprehensivo local newspaper published in a city of that size In the state, writes to The'Intelligencer as follows about the new schedule on Hie gas-el ec trie: "I am indeed glad to note that the gas-electric car will be operated over the Blue Ridge between Walhalla and Belton after July. 12.
