originator, is merely the

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

The Henry Grady Debating
society of the Greenville graded
schools triumphed in de-
bate. Its representatives,
B. F. Taylor and L. J. won
a splendid victory night
the contest with Washington.
This makes the second place the
society has won, it having been
the victor in the contest
last spring.
The contest Friday evening
was held in the auditorium of the
Washington public school build-
It was presided over by
Supt. N. C. the society
of his school being represented
by Messrs. Charlie and
Enoch Simmons. The judges
were Rev. M. T. Plyler. of
Washington, H. E. Austin,
of Greenville, and Supt. K. G.
Kittrell, of Tarboro.
had the affirmative
side of the query, which was as
That the
United States Should Subsidize
Her Merchant Marine in Terms
of the Humphrey A sum-
of the principal speeches
of the Greenville speakers was
given in Friday's
Their rejoinders were both well
composed and well delivered.
The first negative speaker was
Mr. Meekins. He chose for his
principal part of the query the
fact that as a nation we are
being legislated to death. That
the people are all the time being
slowly but surely deprived of
their rights. That special inter-
are striving continually to
secure the passage of special
privilege laws, and the
law is one of these. He showed
that while the merchant marine
is inadequate, there is no justify-
subsidies as a means of
it.
The second speaker was Mr.
Enoch Simmons. His speech
was carefully thought out, and it
was a splendid piece of work.
He reviewed the history of our
cross-sea service, showing that
the United States had never been
a maritime nation. That we have
concerned ourselves with our
internal development, and have
left our marine problems to
English and Japanese seamen.
That we have not lost by this
policy, as can build and
operate ships very much
than we can because of cheap
labor and cheap raw material.
He contended that as a nation
we can better afford to devote
oar attention to conservation, to
internal improvements, and to
defensive problems than to try
to place large sums of money at
the heads of snip owners in an
attempt to compete with England,
Germany and Japan.
After the debate the judges
retired to a private office and
balloted The first vote was
unanimous for the affirmative.
In announcing the decision, Rev.
M. T. Plyler complimented the
speakers, declaring that he had
heard many a debate in colleges
and universities that were not so
good.
While the committee was out
making up its decision, Supt.
introduced Supt. H. B.
Smith to the audience. Mr.
Smith expressed his appreciation.
of the cordial treatment he and
the Greenville party had
ed. He spoke of the importance
of public speaking and debate as
a part of education, that
he was triad that the schools were
giving it more attention, and
that the towns were beginning
to enter into contests with eat

STEPHEN C WOOTEN DEAD
SUPERIOR COURT.
Body Fed
Early Thai
Mr. Stephen C Wooten. a
young attorney here, was found
dead this morning just before
o'clock, in his room at the Taylor
boarding house on Dickinson
avenue. Mr. Wooten attended
court Wednesday, going to his
room early in the evening. Not
going down to supper, Mr. B. F.
with Taylor went up to his room about
o'clock to see if he wanted
anything. Mr. Wooten told Mr.
Taylor that he did not care fur
any supper, as he did not feel
well and wanted to retire so
to get up early this morning and
prepare for some business he had
in court today.
Not having come down by
breakfast time this morning, Mr,
Taylor again went up to Mr.
room a little before
o'clock. Opening the door he
saw Mr. Wooten lying across the
edge of the bed his feet and
being up on the bed and
head and shoulders on the floor
It was seen at a glance that he
was dead.
Coroner Laughinghouse was
notified and when he went to
examine the body he deemed an
inquest unnecessary, pronouncing
that Mr. Wooten had died of
epileptic convulsion- He
had a struggle during the
convulsion, from the position in
which his body was found,
his neck was broken by his hear.
and shoulders falling off upon
the floor. It is thought he
been dead several hours when
found.
Mr. Wooten was one of those
badly injured in the
accident on the 5th of
when Messrs. J. L. Fleming
and Harry Skinner, Jr., wen
killed. After the accident Mr.
Wooten was for some weeks in s
critical condition, but finally re-
covered and resumed his law
practice. He was apparently as
well as usual, with the
of occasionally having s
convulsion.
Stephen C Wooten was
years of age and a son of Mr
A. M. Wooten. of

Edgecombe county, his
moving to Pitt when he
very young. He attended Whit

is estimated that the acreage
planted to cotton in the Southern

weevil. Texas shows a slight
increase and Oklahoma about
per cent not as much as
in March in either state.

of increasing the
acreage in corn, oats and alfalfa.
