Jones ha? endorsed the Torrens system of land registration. For two yenrs a bill of this kind has been before the legislature and did not get through. We hope that, when Judge Jones gets comfortably seat ed in the governor's ofllce, he will take this matter up with the legisla ture and push It through. The Torrens i.ystem proposes once and for all to look up a title?to settle the questions of the past and to assure the present owner that his title is good. It will save lawyer's fees and will guarantee the title. No law yer will do that now. As matters now stand, every time a piece of land is sold or mortgaged a lawyer has to go over the same ground that was gone over the last time the land was Bold or mortgaged. And every lawyer so doing gets his fee. A writer In the Progressive Farm er of Raleigh, N. C, says: "I was looking up a title last week. I 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 the 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 before that, this land was purchased by another man. Again a lawyer had to go over the same ground. Every time it was mortgaged some lawyer went over the same ground. I sup pose Investigations of the title to this lot had- cost all told about $200 and 20 days' time. The tax valuation of the lot was less than $1,000. In oth I er words, probably one-fifth of the tax value of the land had been spent I in title Investigations. "What the Torrens system pro I poses is to close up the past; to go over the title once for all, and to I put an end to the expense and waste I of time required by this eternal pro cession of lawyers going over the same beaten path, each taking a fee I for his work. One lawyer will not and should not take another's state ment 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 titles, and so far as possible clear, them of question (by judicial process, of course) and have the land owners pay the state once and forever for "the service."? Anderson Dally Mall. ON WHICH SIDE ARE YOU? This is the momentous question of today; and which appeals to the seri ous consideration of every citizen of Laurens County. Every good man ought to look out for the future wel fare of self and family. If he were moving into a now community, would he not first look into the religious and educational advantages of that sec tion? If It had none would he risk the rearing of his family in sucli a section? No! Since the days of Mos es, who has ever stood between the wrath of the Lord and the sins of his people? In all sacred and profane history, who has been the advocate of all reformation In church and State? The Preachers! Do you candidly think they would stand for a cause that was hurtful to their church and coun try? In this present campaign who should the members of churches vote for? Our ministers most to a man arc for Judge Jones. Do you think they are on the wrong sido? If not, then follow them! If you get Into se rious trouble and affliction, who Is tho first man that you want to see? Why It Is your preacher. Then If you put Buch implicit faith in him, when the hand of the Lord is heavy on you, why not take his advice in political mat ters? If it was not for the civilising influence of the church and school house Laurens coun'.y would not bo worth living in. On the other hand, what is it, that is filling our Jails with violations of the laws, our penitentiary with con victs, und our counti-y with shame and misery? The sale of whiskey! Should not every man fight this monster to the last ditch? How can he vote for a candidate that advocates the sale of spiritous liquors? Up then and bo strong men, fight for the right, and everything that will advance the In terest of South Carolina? In the lan guage of Joshua of old, "This day choose ye whom you will serve." Be sure he Is an honest man and an exponent of good government. W. P. S. ENROLLING COMMITTEES. Separate Comlmtte for Each District In Laurens Township.

By the first (route) one crosses the Congarec at the foot of Gervais street, thence goes to Lexington court house, and thence to Leesvllle, following the lino of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta ral'road 29 miles. At Lees vllle a road to the right band is taken to a point two miles from Cherokee bridge over the Saluda river In Sa luda county. Then a country or neighborhood road is followed to the bridge where the river is crossed and another main highway is entered that leads to Prosperity. The distance from Leesvllle to Prosperity Is said to be 24 miles. Two years ago this was an excellent road, speaking generally,bar ring the two miles of neighborhood road mentioned, and thnt short trip is not wicked. The second route is the same us the first from Columbia to Lexington, where one takes a road to the right, crossing Saluda river by a bridge com pleted a little more than a year ago and thence leading to Chapln, on the Columbia, Newberry & Laurens rail road. This was the popular route last summer, and the road between Lexing ton and Chapln was In excellent condi tion. The third nnd most direct route is the "Kork road." One crosses Broad river by the "covered bridge," three miles north of Columbia, and then the C, N. & L. rallroad(though not in sight of it) to Spring Hill, 21 miles from Columbia and thence three miles to Chapln. The distance to Chapln by way of Lexington is probably five or six miles greater. The distance to Prosperity by this route is about 35 miles?or 18 miles shorter than by the Leesvllle route. At Prosperity, another league be yond, the speedway of Newberry conn ty Is reached, a 40-foot wide, graded road, ditched on both sides, smooth and hard. For ten miles Into New berry It Is easily the best stretch of the whole trip, .and one may travel almost to the speed capacity of his ca if one wishes. One should not so wish. We leave Newberry at 4 p. m. and make the first ten miles to Gary' Lane, in a few minutes. Then up to Goldville the holes are more frequent but the road Is fair. One must keep an eye peeled always and everywhere for the holes In these goor* roads. We stop for a few minutes at Clinton and then three miles north of Clinton there has been a heavy shower. The ohalns must he put on again. We drive into Laurens at 6:15, distance from New berry .11 miles, running time exclusive of stops, about one hour and fifty min utes. Laurens has a first class repair shop and garage, conducted by W. P. Iludgcns, and his charges are moderate. Our disabled inner tubes and speed ometer are promptly mended. Next morning we leave at 8:15, the 37 miles to Greenville being the best In the up-country for that distance, a ridge road with all water courses bridged or culverted. At one place In the neighborhood of Simpsonvllle there is a fill that Is rather heavy and would present a problem perhaps in dirty weather. We run into Greenville at 10:15 (exactly two hours from Laurens) and Ice cream Is found for my guests, who are independent young persons and take oare of them selves while I inquire about the roads, increase my store of misgivings, havn' the oar's clutch washed out and buy gasoline at 20 cents a gallon. Ia Newberry and Greenville coun ties they combine mile stones with business directories. On a square pil lar made of planks, about five feet high and ' avlng a little umbrella-like roof, painted white, the miles to town are marked plainly, and on the sides are advertisements of merchants and bankers. Of course these markers are maintained by the advertisers. State of Ohio, city of Toledo, Lucas County. Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he is senior partner of the firm of F. J.
