WH ERK WILL ?T KM) i The disaster of war ls HO far off that UH appaling significance baa not yet struck In upon UH. The censored new? dispatches have been HO partisan as to cannu them to be discredited. The United States feels lbs effect of the war upon commerce, but the European stales are having their hearts torn by the cruel clutch of death. The following poem by a writer in a Pittsburgh pnper brings home forci bly the awful cataclysm of war: From pennant home to palace hall Is feit through torturing dread. Of news-the newt? that one beloved Is captured, maimed or dead With roar of cannon, din and hiss, Of bomb and shot and shell God hears the shriek, tho cry, thc moan Of walting ones; He heeds as well Too deep for cry to tell. 'Twas be who won at Waterloo; He 6ent the rain that day To check Napoleon'3 arrogance And crush ambition's sway. , God's up there yet. He SPCB the course Of troopc and ships hu rules The current of the sea and air: H?B turtles beat the schools. I m pot on man! Puissant God! Strengthless, applied we stand And while we thank Him for the peace Prevailing In our land, Plead: "Cheek this war contagion, Lord, IJapt'.ce the world with peace, we pray Send peace In Thine own way!" Is there no agency that can stop this awful war? No church, no creed, no Masonic order? Must great na tions be reduced to satrapies in order to satisfy the land greed, the blood lust of some certain rulers? Better by far sn uprising of the peo ple to r<-..cut this murderous use of their lives, and sweep rotting dynas itleB from the face of thu earth. THE TORRENS SYSTEM, Before tho state or national govern ment can do anything of a lasting na ture In the lino of rural credits for the land-owners a better system of registering land titles must be devised, says a writer In an exchange. ? > What will it profit us if a somewhat lower interest rate is obtained, or if money for land loans ht made more easily available if we then And that titles are too doubtful to be accepted as collateral, or if the prohibitive cost of examining a title every time a loan la wanted, keeps the fanner from us ing the rural credit system so labor iously wrought out for his benefit. With the passage of a law making government funds available for farm loans, it becomes a question of double importance, to ill interests in the state, financial aa well as agricultural that no time Bho"ld be lost In secur ing the passage of a land registration law. The chief advantages of the Torrens system are that it makes for economy and stability of title. When land is once registered upon this system, the title ia settled once and for ali time, the state being behind it aa a guaran tor, end the cost of the subsequent transfer is minimised while the spec ial proceedings necessary to secure euch registration are simple and no more expensive than those attaching to eech and every conveyance under the methods now obtaining. REGISTRATION BOOKS The booka of registration will be op ened Monday and those who have nev er registered or have lost their certi ficates should obtain certificates then, as that will be the last opportunity before the general election. All Dem ocrats may need registration certifi cates in November. W. L. Anderson, chairman of the board, states that renewal certificates will be tushed to all who cannot find their old ones, and he states positively that the board will meet two days and that all who are without certifi cates are warned that thia la the last opportunity to register for the general election in November. Remember the days, salesday and election dav. and register. A TRIP TO THE EXPOSITION The South Carolina Exposition com mission ls putting on a contest for the ?ale of South Carolina medala for the purpose of raising money for our State's renresentatlon at the Panama exposition. The medals are made of bronte, with the seal of South Caro lina on one side, and that of the canal zone on the other. They sell for $1 each, and a round trip ticket to the exposition will be given to every young woman who sells 1,000. Oh sales ex ceeding 600. but .lesa than 1,000, 10 per cent will be paid. Write to the South Carolina Exposition Commis sion, Columbia, S. C., for particulars. Come to town aalesday and register for the general election. The registration boohs for the voters ot Anderson county will be open Mon day and Tuesday next-the last chanco before the general election tn Novem ber. THE TWO CENT HATE The storm center In the last general assembly was the two cent fare on the railroads in this state. The roado claimed that this law would be al most confiscatory. The promoters of the bill claimed that if the railroads in the north could exist on this rate, tlic arilroads in thc south could do likewise. Of much Interest, therefore, ls the, following dispatch from Philadelphia, under date ot Tuobday: "The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany announced today that it hud tiled with the Interstate Commerce Com mission notice that beginning October 1, the charge for open and interchange able micalge books shall be at the rute of 2 1-4 cents per mile instead of 2 cents as at present. The company in statement further unnounced: "As the Interstate Commerce Com mission has declared it to be a matter of public policy that each branch of the ratlrrwd service should contribute Ita propjg share to the cost of opera tion anQ of return upon the property devotedMp the use of the public, the | Penney Pren ia Railroad also intends to ) make certain other readjustments in passenger ates.
