pastor of the Methodist Chrch, to the
regret, of his many friends was not
able to be out.
The auditorium with its large seat
ing capacity was filled with patrons
and visitors. One side of the audience
was reserved for. the school children.
At eleven o’clock the children marched
in singing the hymn, “Ancient Of
Days.” This was one of the most in
teresting and beautiful features of
the morning. Mr. Grosclose presided
over the meeting. Dr. Harms preach

which was delivered in such beautiful
and fluent yet simple English that any
child could understand and appreciate
it. Dr. Harms preached on “Christian
Chivalry.” His sermon was just as
beautiful as the thought expressed in
these two words. His entire sermna

The Torrens system of registration
of land titles will become effective in
South Carolina July 1. Under its pro
visions the clerk of court is to ap
point by August 1 three or more at
torneys, who are to be examiners of
titles; the county commissioners must
provide a register of mesne convey
ance for the registration of titles. The
provisions of the act are assumed vol
untarily.
The advantage of the Torrens sys
tem is that after land is once regis
tered under this plan, there will be
no further question of the title and it
will not be necessary to have the title
examined for ,any subsequent trans
fers of the land. The object of the
system is to give a clear title to land.
The Torrens act fixes the fees that
are to be allowed to the title exami
ners, officers and surveyors. The ex
aminer is to receive a minimum fee of
$5 for examination of each title of
property assessed upon the tax, books
at $1,000 or less, and for each addi
tional $1,000 of'assessed value he is
to receive 50 cents. The surveyor
employed under the provisions of the
act is to be allowed not more than 40
cents per hour for the time actually
employed.
In order to guarantee the title, and
at the same time to protect against
loss persons who by the aystem lose
an interest in land not .through their
own negligence, the State provides ifn 1
assurance fund, out of- which claims
will he paid. This fund is formed by
a fee of one-tenth of one per cent, of

graduating class, but everyone pres
