It Will Put Land Owner on a Par With Other Borrower*. 1 To my mind the Torrens system | ot registering land tit less virtually making real estate as qu.<aiy avail- xble as any other gilt-edge security vnd with as little expense, sill put the farmer on a parity with the city man with his stocks and tionds and do as much as any measure I know of to help a farmer in time of dis tress. v • It will help put his business, when sore pressed, upon a cash basis, ihereby getting him out of the clutch- s of those ' human vampires.” the time merchants. Time business, is one of the real curses of the South today, not only from the exorbitant ra.e of interest harged, but from the very manner and the time the payments are made, reason for this, howeve#, just a eus- mi, and a very costly one. Great quantities of distressed cotton are irown on the market at this time to meet these exhorbitan; charges, and down goes the price uy sneer weight of receipts. The Torrens system of land regis tration by making tae small land owner's asset, treal estate* quick- v available, will mitigate this evil by enabling him to entain a cash loan as iheaply as an ownier of stocks :id bond*. A Good Illustration. For example, here a:e two men. A and R. A is an owner or stocks and bonds. B is an owner of real estate. Each desires to borrow $1**0. Under present conditions they walk into a bank. Says A. to the president, ”1 wish to borrow $lb<*.” “All right. Mr. A. what is your se curity V "I have,” says A, ”$300 iu rounty bonds which 1 will place up as - ;l- Jateral security.” A places up the coiiatertl. gives his note or $in*>. six per cent is de ducted, and he walks oul with $94 in liis pocket. How about B? B, the land own er walks up and says. Mr. President, I too wish to borrow $1**»V" "All right, Mr. 15. What is your security?" "I have here.” ^ys B, “a deed for a piece of laud that .» ..or;ii $l.t)o*« and there is act a scratch of a pen against it and the title ;s good.” ‘‘Mr. B,” says the president, “we have the money to len»: aud no doubt your title is all right, nu; according to our rule you will nave to go over and get Mr. (’, our lawyer, to exam ine the title and if found good, mortgage deed drawn up. >y yourself and wife, and register, and then come hack anti we tan let you have the money a.j right. B. pays (’ $5 for examining the title, writing the mortgage, etc.. 50 cents to clerk of ro„r* lor wife’s privy examination and $1.25 for reg istration. making $6.75 and then walks into the haliK and has still six per cent deducted from the face of the note, making in all $12.75. Thus, A with stocks,and bonds as collateral security gave toe banker his note for $li**' and put $94 in his pocket.. B. the owner of real estate the most imperishabte security on earth, gave his note for $11*0 and 1 only pocketed $87.25. Ami if per- | 1 haute it should happen to ha\V en a national bank, B could not ( have obtained a loan at all. Putting (he Farmer on an Even Foot ing. This is the present situation and one under which the fanner nas la bored from time itmm .uonal. Now. the Torrens land system would tor- <-ct this evil. The land owner by paying a small tt-e. could have the title to his land examined by state authority, and if found >.oou. it would he‘so registered and tin* certificate of registration would be issued to the owner thereof, guaranteeing it forever. Then when the owner wish- s to obtain a loan, this certificate of registration-c^uid be used as col lateral security pretty much in the same way as a certificate of stock would be or any other gilt-edge se curity^ Then. B. the owner of real estate so registered, could give his note for. say $1**0 secured by the certificate of registration aud put $94 in his pocket and not $87.25 or less as under the old way; and more than this, would save his fare. for. right or rong. a man who gives a mortgage upon his real estate, it makes no dif ference hoxv well he may have invest ed the proceeds, is generally looked upon as a man going down, hill and his financial standing in the commun ity is hurt.* ^ • 4 These, however are only a few of he many good features about it. The act should pass the next general as sembly in every southern stale, and A Yocum Farmer’s" HpleacUd Fight Throagh Failare to fcarremi. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside Herbert Quick, tbe editor of that periodical, writes an inter esting editorial abowing how prog ress places a great strain on people. He tells the following story: * “I know a young man who Uvea in a city until he had graduated from an agricultural college. He worked on farms in vacations, and he did everything that a city man can do to learn farming practically, aa well as theoretically. But be had not had the advantage the farm boy possesses of driving a team year after year and listening to the discussion of farm problems about the hearth in a farm home while a child. He went on a large farm as tenant. Three hundred acres of land to be plowed, put into crops, tended and harvested. I visited him about the first of July of his first summer. Things looked badly. He had made a lot of mistakes that an old farmer would never have made. " T thought.’ said he when I talk ed to him of the situation, ‘that I knew a great ileal more about farm ing than the neighbors aoout here, but I’m making up n-.y mind that f would be hundreds of doiiars better off this year if I knew us much as the fifteen-year-old ;»oys of the neighborhood. It’ll take me years to learn the things that are second nature to them/ “Did he fail? By no means. Ho stuck to the farm, anc la now suc cessful. He caught up in his knack df doing things. Gradually he pall ed ahead of the neighbors. After a while the art of doing things be gan to co-operate with the scientific truths he had mastered, and money began to come InttPhla 4111, and re cognition from his neighbors as the best termer of them ail was no small part of his reward. “Now suppose that one of those old farmers had been his tether and the owner of the farm. Tae strain of progress would have been atill more severe. My young friend had the right to make hia mistakes end suffer by them, but Dad might have refused him that freedom. "The man w ith a son who is a col lege graduate ahould let the young man put hla ideas Into effect, even though It aeema to him that the new iiethods are not so good as the old. Thus he will relieve the strain of progress. It is for the olG 10 give way to the young when It comes to the new knowledge. The young may not know the how so well, but they have a better aqualntanre with the why. And in the long run the why is most Important.” Could Shout For Joy. I want to thank you from the bot tom of my heart.” wrote C. B. Rader, of Lewisburg, W. Va.. "For the won derful double benefit 2 got from El ectric Bitters, in curing me of both a severe case of stomarn trouble and of rheumatism, from which I had been an almost helpless sufferer for ten years.
