was ii g a tree to get a log to

seems that his feet became en-

the States has the best

To the What is the 
Land System 
The Land Title System, 
so called from the name of its 
originator, is merely the 
to land property of the same 
common-sense, business 
which long governed 
transactions in personal property. 
is a quick, inexpensive, 
and practical method of r 
titles to, and dealing with 
lauds. 
Under the system, a i 
title is examined once for all by 
a special land court, or by any 
court of equity. After this is 
passed upon the owner receives 
a numbered certificate of title 
similar to a stock certificate, 
corresponding to the stub kept 
by the registrar, and showing on 
its face just what the owner's 
title is. For example, a life 
estate, a fee-simple, in whole 
or in part, free from 
or subject to 
encumbrances as re mentioned 
in the certificate. This title can 
never be questioned. It is final. 
Subsequent encumbrances, such 
mortgages, judgments and 
the like are noted on the 
so that any one may tell 
the exact condition of the title, 
without employing a lawyer, 
simply by looking at the 
end comparing it for safety's 
sake, with the stub kept by the 
registrar. 
This carries a 
teed title by the State, the State 
being secured by an assurance 
fund collected tenth 
of one per cent on the value of 
the property registered. You 
can then deal with this 
of title almost freely as 
. with a certificate of stock. This 
will put your real estate on same 
footing as your property, 
and thus add millions of dollars 
to the bankable property of 
North Carolina. This will be of 
great help to the farmers all 
real estate owners, by enabling 
them to secure quick short 
through the bank without 
having to secure the services of 
a lawyer, as they to do 
under the present antiquated 
system. 
It will help all who deal in real 
estate, will promote the develop- 
of the whole State by 
settling titles, and will induce 
home-seekers to our State, be 
cause strangers will not hesitate 
to buy land the title to which is 
guaranteed by the 
The faults of the sys- 
among many others, consist 
of the enormous waste of time 
and money due to being forced 
to secure the of a law 
to re-examine the old 
title every time a new deal is 
made in land, or any real estate, 
and the land owner has to 
the bill. I will cite an 
One of the leading lawyers of 
this State told the that he 
knew of a tract of land, twenty- 
five per cant, of its value had 
been paid to attorneys fees 
for examining the same old title, 
year after year, and yet there 
seemed to be no defect in the 
title. All this vends to depress 
and makes land slow to 
handle. There la always 
of uncertainty, more or 
lea i, in a real estate deal under 
our present laws.

Washington, N. C April 
A large mass meeting of citizens 
of Washington and Beaufort 
county, called by agreement be- 
tween the solicitor of this dis- 
and the board of county 
commissioners, was held in the 
court house in this city at noon 
today for the purpose of 
whether the bill of indictment 
brought in against the 
at the last term of 
court for failure to provide 
a court house should be 
prosecuted. The court house was 
filled to overflowing and a great 
deal of was exhibited. 
Solicitor Ward spoke to the as- 
for something over an 
hour on the matter in question. 
His speech was a delightful 
prise to his many and 
made a very fine impression 
audience. 
As a result of the meeting, the 
proceedings against the board of 
commissioners will not be pressed 
and the matter is left open as 
before. It was apparent that 
the temper of the assemblage 
changed from one of hostility 
to good feelings. The needs of 
s new court house for Beaufort 
county are apparent to every one 
and from such expressions of 
public sentiment were heard 
it is reasonably certain that Bean-

proper building in the near
