THE TORRENS LAW.
-
The legislature haa finally enacted
the Torrens land regia- rut ion law, af?
ter having dilly-dallied with it for
twenty yeara The loss the people of
South Carolina have differed, directly
and indirectly, through the refusal
of successive legislatures to grant
this necessary reform m the archaic,
cumbersome and expensive methods
of recording and translerring titles to
real estate can never be estimated,
and the vexatious part of the whole
proceeding is the voll-cstabllshed
aad generally admitted fact that there
J?aa never been any argument worth
consideration against tie Torrens sys?
tem. The most that has been said
against ths Torrens system of land
registration is that it would work al
revolution In old practice, that It is
pnodcrn, simple and efficient and in
many rase.* would render the service
of a lawyer leso Indlspeiisible in trans?
actions involving the sate or mortgage
of land than heretofore. The oppo?
sition to this reform that has persisted
lor some twenty years and has
blocked every attempt c f Its advocates
to gain for It a full ar.d fair consid?
eration of Its merits, ct.n be attribut?
ed to nothing more than an obstinate,
If not an Ignorant, didncllnatlon to
changs In ths dlrectloc of simplicity
and efficiency by those who regard
custom and precedent as more im?
portant than common sense and the
needs of modern business conditions.
H Is to be hoped that the Torrens law
that hoe been ensctad has not been
tendon! red wi'. . grurhdone gad
tadente inherit, a from the eld meth?
ods. ]f It has beau h>u led down with
**~lutfceiltlea and Jokeie the real ob
< ta of tha Torrens system may be
iporarlly defeated and In the minds
of superficial observers the system It?
self may be for a time discredited, but
the enactment of any ?ort of law bas
upon ths fundamental principles of
ths Torrens system hi so great an ad
ice that any minor imperfections
and short-comings In the act itself,
are not fatal.
One provision that tho law should
ntain, if It does not. Is a method by
Which a person who has held title to
Iland for a sufficient longth of tlmo to
give him a perfect title, may register
als title under tl. new law at noml
v 1 coat and wtthou. complicated
irt proceedings. A man who has1
a vfect title should iiot be forced
to cuiergo a troubleeorao and expen?
sive process by law to obtain a Ton ans
law title. A provision of this charac?
ter would tend to Immediately popu?
larise the new law and encourage all
land owners to register their titles.
BL'YINU WESTERN STOCK.
The habit of depending upon the
wast for live ideas] Is so long estab?
lished and so firmly Inbc tided in the
States of North Curollna, South Caro?
lina and Georgia that It Is not surpris?
ing that tho efforts that have been
made In recant years to develop llvo
stock raising as one of the staple In?
dustries of thoso States have not met
with greater success. Tho custom of
making cotton growing the paramount
agricultural industry of the South
Atlantic States is not the result of the
wsr between the States and tho abo?
lition of slavery, as is so often assort
cd. but antedatei; the war by forty or
fifty years, i'he harmftri effects af
raising cot on and buying other things
nseded on the farm v.'Ofi reconnlte?!
and deplored fully one hundred years
ugo. and the conditions of which we
complain now were complained of in
the early years of tho nineteenth cen?
tury. Cotton was King In 1*20 as It
Is today and our people neglected oth?
er cropa and farm producta to tin i?
financial damage as obatlnately as
they do now. The subjoined article,
clipped from a Charleston newspaper
of May 1, 1824, contains Information
of Intercut and the comments on UN
tacts are as trul> appreciable to
conditions that now exist as to the
conditions nearly a century ago:
Columbia. S. C, May 18.
In the autumn and winter of 1820
xnd 1811, an account was taken of tho
horses and mures which passed the
?mo :ntalr?i from Tennessee ?nd Ken
tucky, to North Carolina. South Caro?
lina and Georgia, for sale. From tho
1st October. IS20. to 1st April. 1821,
the whole number exceeded 10, . no.
In 1822, the hogs passing Ashcvlllo,
from and io the same States was
73,000. Tho number of beeves phas?
ing in one season, has not been ascer?
tained, but they arc computed to be
at least &,')00. The annual amount,
therefore, received by two western,
frcm thrco Atlantic States, in the tale
of horses, hogs and cattle, may be
thu3 estimated:
!0,000 horses and mules, av
aglng $76 each.$75,000
73,000 hogs at $10 each .... 730,000
P.000 be*veu at $20 each.. .. 100,000
$1,370,000
It may be asked why do North Car
ollna, south Carolina, and Georgia,
pay this annual sum of ono million
apd a half dollars to Kentucky and
Tennessee for live stock? Not that
the former States arc unable to raise
them; but bocause the price heretofore
given for cotton, renders it more profi?
table for trem to raise cotton, and
buy lurses find meat. But in case the
proposed tariff should destroy the
hopes of th-j cotton planter, as it in?
evitably must, it It should pass, the
farmers of the Southern Atlantic
States, instead of purchasing, must
raise their own hog3, horses and cat?
tle. Tennccjeo and Kentucky will
then bo deprived of a trade in these
articles, of $1,500,000. And what do
thvy oxpect to receive in exchange for
it? Why to supply the cotton planters
with their bagging*. But tho whole
amount consumed in tho United
states docs not exceed'$900,000 per
annum. Will Kentucky and Tenncs
}sec supply tho whole of this, even if
the foreign article Is prohibited?
Certainly not. If the price of cotton
is much depressed, the planter of it
must and will raise his own hemp und
muhe his own bagging. It was done
during the late war and will be done
again.
Why then should Tennessee and
Kentucky desire tho tariff.?Gazette.
TuEVHR 18 PLEASED WITH BILL.

mittee In the Insertion of there
amendments which I tried to get Into

mittee and with minor amendments
I believe the bill reported by the sen?
ate committee will furnish a work?
able system of rural credits which
will mean the beginning of the revo?
lutionising ot farm financing in this
country. I shall fight for these fun?
damental propositions on the floor of
the house if tho bir reported from
the banking and currency committee
of the house does not carry thorn and
I fool hopeful of having tho large
majority of the membership of tho
house with me." It is known thnt
Senator Holl.s, who reports the sen?
ate bill, anl Mr. Lever have been
working in the closest cooperation.
They recently called upon the presi?
dent to urge these amendments to
the Joint committee bill and both
came away very enthusiastic over
the attitude of the president.
