O. L. JOYNER, The most Important need in North Carolina is the Torrens system of Land Registration, said Mr. John A. Wilkerson, of Belhaven, who is doing more to drain and put fertile land on the market than any man in East- North Carolina. Mr. Wilkerson is right, and large experience in buying and selling land makes his opinion- of value. Proceed- upon the necessity of this great reform Mr. Wilkerson I own worth of stock or stock in any railroad or industrial corpora- I can take that stock to any bank deposit it as security, and borrow money on it. It costs mo nothing to do so and the fact that I am borrow- is known only to me and the bank or lending me the money But if have worth of land or more, or a little home or farm, and need to borrow money on it I have to pay an attorney to ex- the title. I have to pay him to write a mortgage, and the fact that I have borrowed the money is put on record in the court house, thus advertising my private business. And this trouble, expense and publicity are made necessary every time I wish to borrow money on land. It is a hardship and a burden upon of land that makes dealing in land slow and costly whereas it is to the interest of the State that land trans- should be easy and that everybody will wish to in- vest their money in Not long ago Mr. Eugene C. Mas- of Richmond, Va., discussed at length the Torrens system. The Protective Association, which favored the Torrens system, request- ed Mr. to prepare a brief state- showing the wisdom of that system. In response to that request, Mr. wrote the following ad- succinct and comprehensive summary of the argument for the Torrens system. State claims to be the owner .-the original and ultimate owner of all her lands. This ownership first appears in her lands grants and now found in the exercise of the right and eminent domain, or and in levying taxes. and exercising the orig- rights and powers, it is the duty of the State to grant good titles to her citizens and to en- able them to keep their titles good under the just administration of equitable land laws. plain duty has never hereto- fore been performed by the State, and the time has now come when she must meet her high obligation. con sell your personal proper- or borrow money on it quickly and at little expense. You do not have to employ a lawyer to examine the title to your horse or cow, to your oats and hay, nor to your stocks and bonds you try to sell your land or row money on it, the first question you got a good one will buy nor lend you money without being satisfied about your title. It must be examined by a lawyer, and you have to pay the bill. does not matter how often the title has been examined before, it has to be re-examined every time a new deal is made. same old titles are examined over and over again, and every time you have to pay the bill. conservative estimate, based upon the returns from the County Clerks throughout the State, shows that the people of Virginia paid more than for abstracts of ti- to lands in one year. is nearly as much as was spent upon all the public schools In the counties of our State, and more than half of what was spent for public education In every city and county in the Commonwealth. heavy and perpetual tax on the people will be saved by the Tor- System of Land Registration. Is not only expensive but It takes days and weeks to make an examination of title, and so many difficulties are encountered that men frequently have not the time to bother with transactions in- so many problems. this makes land hard and slow to handle, and men hesitate to bury capital In lands. Torrens System will make your lands merchantable. It will convert lands into quick asset and render them available as a source of ready commercial credit. operates In the following man- A title is examined once official- and confirmed by order of court. ends the matter and cuts out the endless examinations of titles now necessary. Your title Is register- ed, and you have made a permanent Improvement, which will last as long as the law prevails and will never call for betterments or repairs. You are then given a certificate of title, which guarantees to all the world that you have such title as Is set forth to the lands therein example, a life estate or a fee simple, in whole or in part, free from encumbrances or subject to such encumbrances as are men- in the certificate. You can deal with this of title almost as freely as with a certificate of stock, because every body can see from the certificates ex- what your title is. will put your real estate on a your personality, and Torrens System is no ex- Torrens System has found congenial soil In the United States in Illinois, California, Massachusetts, and Colorado; and the Federal government has established it In Hawaii an tho Phil- Islands.

The Greenville market starts out year more auspiciously, and more favorable conditions than it Las la years. There arc a large number buyers, arid some new ones in addition to the regular buyers that have been here before. Messrs. John E.

They occupy the factory formerly run by Messrs. Geo. S. Co., and are fully equipped for handling large ties of tobacco.

NO, Willie, a pretty kettle of fish not mean a glass jar filled with gold Sure-Cure Remedies Are Usually Com- pounds of Narcotics. It must be frankly recognized in considering patent medicines that, broadly and philosophically speaking two risks have to be taken with all of the risk that the medicine, though a useful remedy in this dis- ease, may not find your particular case or stage of it; and the further risk that you may not have the dis- ease you think you have, in which ease, of coarse, the poor medicine, will be a hopeless misfit. Bearing these facts in mind, it if. obviously only the course of prudence and good sense to all powerful or drastic remedies of this class, such as, if they do not do good, have the power to do harm. Remedies, there- fore, are advertised to cure that are guaranteed to cure every case or money refunded; that never been known to etc., are good things to let alone, even if you give credence to their claims. Usually, as a matter of fact, the claim of these remedies are based upon one of two or some most commonly opium or alcohol. There is also another universal source of risk which it is only fair to mention, and this is the of knowing what you are The vast majority of so-called patent medicines have nothing that is patent about them except the name or trademark. Really to patent a remedy would be necessary to dis- close its ingredients and to prove that they have never before been used for the cure of disease; and this, for obvious reasons, is the last thing that the proprietors t-f these dies would think of doing. The com- position of the remedy is their most rained secret, which naturally they guard with most Jealous care, and it is inevitable in the very nature of the case any one who takes a dose of it is taking it in the dark. If ho chooses to run that risk, it is one of his inalienable rights and but let him remember is taking a drug of he knows nothing for a disease which he often knows less, guess at its nature may be entirely wrong, Not even an analysis of tee remedy a government chemist will help because the rigid secrecy as to its composition, which is maintained commercial reasons, enables the manufacturers to change the formula at any time, according to the changes in the prices of the different drugs, or the denunciation of one or other of them as injurious.

Jean Napoleon Ingram, of Park has recently mad i a tour through Georgia and Alabama and observed the terrace system of farm- in those States, by which fields are protected from washes and the soil preserved from destruction by heavy rains. Every slope or hillside field, he says-is crossed by a series of terraces of sufficient fall to guide the water the land into main ditches, that carry it from the farms. By such means the slope and hillside soil is left on the fields and the wash- of gullies by winter and spring Hoods prevented. The land is there- by preserved for posterity. The and Alabama fields are not de- year by year by unscrupulous cultivation and butcher farming; their crop producing elements and value are held in reserve for future genera- Such a system of land should be followed in North Car- where the fields are fast be- coming barren by the old slave of farming, the soil carried from the fields by rainfall, and the farms made worthless, where future tillers will find the land a waste of naked and furrowed clay. He thinks that the best way to bring the matter to the attention of the country land holders, is for the Farmers Union to charter a train and sell round trip excursion tickets to Montgomery for to allow the to investigate and study the Ala- and Georgia system of terrace farming, and enable them to intro- duce similar soil protection and es- similar land improvements in North Carolina. A special car would possibly ac- the first excursion, and the Southern Railroad would doubt- less make low rates for such an en- as transportation interests are by improvement in soil cultivation along railway lines. The professor also thinks it would great- aid agriculture for the farmers to bring some tenants from those States familiar with the terrace system to show how such improvement can best be effected on the farms of this AT HOME.

Probably no stranger use for has ever been devised than its substitution in place of the plow for the tilling of clay land. It is put to such a use on a considerable experimental scale in Kansas and by a planter of S. C, and a picture in the September number of Popular Mechanics shows how it was done. The cartridges were planted three feet apart, in rows, and at a depth of four feet. The holes wore made by driving crowbars to the desired depth. The dynamite was exploded by a line of men, provided with red hot irons . The line went rapidly down the field, the explosives fol- lowing the men in a steady roar that was deafening. The explosions threw clouds of soil feet into the air and covered the men from head to with dust and dirt. Advertising Defined.

As there seem to be so many that object to cutting and curing corn in the shock, I will give some of my failures and My first and only failure with the first that I ever cut. I about one-fourth of that. Soon round that it was too green when cut. Since that time I have always let my corn get ripe before cutting, and have never had any trouble. I dad that I get much more feed and much better corn from cutting and curing in the shock than I did when I pulled fodder. In fact, that seems to be the only way that I could do now, for there is so much work attached to pulling off the that I could never think of it again as a mode of getting rough- for my stock. When I did pull I was always short when spring came and my cows were not so fascinating the first of April; but bad they looked, I sawed off any of their horns for the hollow horn or split their tales for the worm in the tail, that is so prevalent in the spring.

The Carolina Home and Farm The Reflector. ft I r, TO THE FARM F. D., phone, Trolley and Good Roads Are . the Farm. V. Copyright, 1910, by American Press THE farm is no longer the lated, lonely place that it used to be or that many people seem to think it is yet. Farm- under modern conditions is a and in most coses is coming to be run in a business way. The first step in the modernizing of the farm came with the introduction of the free delivery in 1807. Put in at first as a sort of experiment, a concession to the insistent demands of the grange and other or- It spread rapidly and soon became indispensable. It was a potent factor in waking up the farmers. One of the first and greatest results was that the dally paper for the farm was made a possibility. Before the advent of the rural free delivery the farmer who kept within THE TELEPHONE HAS BANISHED LONELINESS. a week of the markets was doing well. As a result ho usually managed to strike all the slumps in the market when he had stock or grain to soil. With a market paper delivered at his gate each morning he could follow prices of farm produce closely and take advantage of a rising market. This one factor alone has paid the cost of the rural free delivery many times over. The market reports were not the only part of the paper that benefited the farmer. He no got his news a week old, but Lad it served up most as hot as If be had lived in town. This daily contact with the things that were happening In the world bright- him up, rubbed off the dust and gave him a new interest in life. The shiftless farmer who went to town two or three times a week on the pretense of the only to waste half a day or so each time and maybe come home in the was deprived of his excuse and fell into the habit of spending his extra time fixing up about the place. The farmer who had boon became more enterprising and more time to put his ideas Info ; A with the It. F. D. came better i, when the farmer did go to town lie could make the trip In much less I hue than he did before. Ills papers and magazines made him as well informed as any of the business men of the town. The days of the were numbered. Alone with the It. F. D. came a increase in cue circulation the agricultural papers. The old type of papers edited by men who had seen little of farming except from a car window came to an end about this time, and their places were taken by papers edited by men who had grown up on the soil and who had never got very far away from it. These pa- taught the farmers the value of better methods. They taught what these methods were and how they could be applied. Above all, they in- spired the farmers to do the best they knew how, to respect their calling and to put It on a business basis. Along with the It. F. D. came the telephone. Some of the first-lines were little more than cheap instruments to a barbed wire fence, but served the purpose. Then follow- ed lines put up willow poles and finally modern lines substantially built and as efficient us money could buy. An automatic device to prevent any one listening except the parties talking is in use some localities. Most communities prefer the party line, however, because of its social features. Often after supper on a stormy winter evening some one will put In a general call and furnish some instrumental music for the benefit of every one on the line. Then some one else sing a song, some one will run off a few musical records on a phonograph, and an otherwise lonely evening will be passed pleasantly. Immediately after dinner Is generally conceded to he the hour at the phone. They will stand and visit, often a dozen of them at a time, until the proverbial loneliness of farm life is entirely forgotten. The principal use of the telephone is for business. The modern farmer re- lies upon his telephone as much does the business man. Most of the lines are connected with the central switchboard in town, so that a toll call will get any one In the or In the state. Market and reports are out over the rural lines at certain hours each day. If the market Is especially good the farmer can call up the local buyer and con- tract his hogs once, or If he prefers he can call up the railway freight of- and arrange to have a stock car ready for him the next morning. In most communities the practice of at thrashing time Is followed. This used to necessitate a day's work notifying the neighbors, and then frequently it all had to be dine over again on account of a break- down to the machine or bad weather. Now the notifying is nil done in a few moments by phone. On many occasions a prompt phone call has brought the nearest doctor to the bedside of a sick child who would no I have lived until a trip could made to town for the doctor. This is of the reasons that a phone Is seldom taken out after It has once been put In. In a hundred minor ways the telephone has become to the farm folk. Often after tho farmer has left for town his wife will think of something she wants him to get. All she has to do is to call up the store where he does his trading and leave a message for him. When tho young folks want to give a party the telephone will quickly bring In every one In the neighborhood. A stray horse Is soon located and brought back borne. In weather too bad for the mall carrier to get through Important let- can received over the phone. One other step Is necessary to enable the farmer to make the greatest use of tho rural free delivery and tho It Is the parcels post. Local merchants objected to a parcels post on tho ground that It would favor the mall order houses at their expense. This can be overcome by giving a low- rate to packages that go over a rural route only. A parcels post of this kind been recommended by the post- master general. Ho figures that It would prove profitable for the govern- turning the postal deficit into a a in operation, on the free rural delivery routes the connection of the farmer with the town will be complete. lie can order parcels from town and have them delivered at his door a. few hours later. Things which he cannot get in his local town he can procure from a mail order house in two or three days. The farmers are united in demanding this convenience, and it Is bound to come before long. The final step in the emancipation of tho farmer was taken when the line and tho automobile came Into general use. The trolley has meant better schooling for his children. It has brought theaters, lectures and bet- churches within reach of the family. Best of all. the with the cities has brought about a much needed awakening of the try schools and the country churches. The trolley is a great convenience In taking produce to market. Most of the cars will stop at any farmhouse or crossroads to pick up a can of cream, a orate of chickens or a pas- Trolley lines are u great tor In hastening the to the movement. The farmer who lives near a trolley line has no desire to go to town because he has all the conveniences of both town and try. Wherever a trolley line punctures a city the crowded population spreads out Into the country. At flirt the city move Into the country only to have a place to live while still carrying on their business in the city. Once in the country few of them ever regret the change. Most of them say that they would not go back to the city to live under any consideration. What the trolley lines are doing for the more thickly settled districts, good roads, automobiles and driving horses are doing for those communities which are not yet densely enough populated to support a trolley line. The good roads movement started with ad- LINKS ARE THE TO MOVEMENT. vent of the R. F. D. While country roads in many places are far from be- ideal as yet, still the length of time they are not fairly passable has been reduced to a minimum. Most Of the main roads are well graded, and nearly every farmer has a road drag with which to keep the road bis farm smooth. Graveled roads are be- coming common, and macadamized and oiled roads are being extended into the country. All these modern Improvements have added much to the profits of farming. They have added more to pleasures. They have given to the farmer ad- of the city without taking away any of the advantages of the They have made tho farm the Ideal niece to live.

In his letter Col. Roosevelt said that the former misunderstanding about the South Is disappearing i this and in other countries, and he hopes for a complete dissipation of that misunderstanding. He good American must hope to see a real solid South in the sense of solid business prosperity in the South; for all good Americans now realize that the prosperity of any part of the country helps the pros- of the whole, and the prosper- of the whole will grow faster and stand on the most durable only when we effectively re- that the words and have only a significance. young men of the South must look forward and not backward.

The South must do its full share in realizing it, and from now on it must participate In full In the so- of all the national was a part of Col. Roosevelt's advice. Concluding his letter, Col Roosevelt statue of Gen.

Typhoid fever has had its mortality reduced per cent during the last forty years. Many cities have re- their typhoid mortality from to per cent by installing filters for their public water supply. Many of these cities have still further re- their typhoid death rate by providing dairy inspection. After a pure water and milk supply have been provided, the remaining cases will disappear just in proportion as the sanitary intelligence of the grows. And the food for this growth must be furnished by the press and public schools.

In calling the jury list there were very few excuses or ab- One who was drawn on the grand jury asked to be excused on account of deafness. long have you been asked Judge d in a moderate low voice, to which the juror replied ten The question and answer convinced the judge that Juror could near well enough to serve. The following were drawn as grand jurors for the A. J. foreman; M. D. Iredell Moore, D. M. Johnson, J. H. Williams, B N. Boyd. Jesse L. Cherry, J. W. Allen, C. L. Tyson, J. S. Williams, R. B. Summer- ell, J. T. Moore, W. J. Smith, W. H. R. B. Bynum, A. J. L. D. Phelps, J. J. Oakley. Judge Ward told the jury in his charge that great trust rested upon them, to sit in judgment for the State on one hand and for the people on the other, and it was a duty they should regard with dignity and partiality. The old saying that takes all sorts of people to make a is literally and it is not different in this county from elsewhere. While it is the sworn duty of a grand juror to give information of any violations of law within their knowledge, or any creditable knowledge from others, but it is not his duty to act upon the suggestions of those busy bodies who are usually around on the first day or two of court trying to get some- body indicted, but does not want his disclosed as the inform- ant. The grand jury is not a legislative body. You have seen men go into the grand jury box with the idea that certain laws are bad laws and they will not present any one for viola- of such laws. That is a species of anarchy. If a law is a bad law the to get it repealed is to enforce it. Judge Ward then went into a brief explanation of offenses per- son, property and society, showing how fully these are protected by our The crimes growing out of honesty could be largely corrected or prevented if our citizens would take hold of them at the proper time. Parents too often, perhaps implant impressions upon minds of their children that in later life lead to dishonesty and crime. Examples of this in the man who misrepresents the age of his child when going upon a rail- road train, and those who tell their children in packing up apples or for market to save out the larger ones to put on top in order to make them sell better. This is planting principles of dishonesty. Upon the whole Judge Ward's was very Instructive and listened to with close attention. When the solicitor was asked what lie had for trial, said about The first case called was J. F. King, assault with a deadly weapon, who plead guilty, fined and costs.

Editor and Fellow Demo- of Pitt 10th day of September is fast drawing near, when it behooves us to name our choice of our party for the various county offices. I wonder how many farmers have thought who would best represent them in the next House and Senate Did you that most any bill for the bet- of the doctor, lawyer or merchant's business could be easily passed in any legislature Now, Bro. Farmer, have you not had a thought for the past two years that needed to be converted into a law which would and your neighbor advantages with the pro- man The farmer with his tract of land should be on the same proportionate footing with the man with his thousands of acres, his big bank account, stocks and bonds. Just so long as we have to pay a lawyer to to search the title to our real estate and pay him a bonus of to to write the mortgage so we can get the money all right, just so long will we have our hands tied and continue t. be the in the progress of civilization. Men why not the leader- ship Of th pioneer of toe Land Title System in North Carolina our senior Representative from R. R. Gotten When have we ever had a man in North Carolina to try to pass a more needed measure which would be of such universal uplift to the farmer The man who owns his bank stock, rail road stock, or local corporation stock takes it to his nearest bank, writes his . name across the back thereof, signs a note for the amount of money desired, gets it and goes on his way rejoicing, but poor Mr. Farmer, he may be rich in who owns possibly several times the amount in real estate, has to pay a lawyer to search the title and his fee for writing the mortgage. But does it stop there By no means. The clerk of the court and register of deeds both have to have their share. Is that all No; the mortgage is then placed on record and thereby published to the world of his encumbrance, and the condition thereof. And if it be a deed and a small mistake is made therein, woe unto our courts, for there will be labor for you. In like manner as we championed the leadership of Hon. John H. Small, our representative in congress for his service in the advancement of our interests and the drainage of our low lands, so let us on the 10th day of September cast our ballot for that sterling gentleman and farmer, Hon. R. R. Cotten, to represent us In the next senate, and on the day of November next, elect by the largest vote any man has received In Pitt county for a generation. J. F. N. C.

No extraordinary learning was needed to reach this decision because the law plain and to the point; those who objected to the statue of Lee did so other mental or moral deficiencies than ignorance of the law. Of course Virginia had the legal and moral right to choose of Washing- ton and Lee for her contribution and nobody had the right to is exactly as it was long ago when tics Davis and Lee of son without warrant from the law.

ONE OF RICHEST Most Fertile in This Favored Section, at Once n Combination of Soil and Climatic Conditions, That Make For the Very Best Develop- of an Agricultural People. by Mr. O. L. Joyner, for Messrs. Collins and of Norfolk, Va., representatives at a North Western Immigration Bureau. The soil and climate of Eastern North Carolina are about as near ideal as can be found in a temperate zone. This is one of the oldest sec- in the United States, and many of the plantations of Eastern North Carolina have woven around and about them an historic association that goes well back into the Colonial period, yet there are many of these old plantations that have, in the last few years, been Improved by crop and new management are producing today larger crops of the same products than is produced per acre on much of the high priced land of the northwest, and there is no section of country in these United States where a greater variety of pro- duets of the soil can be made than right here In Eastern North Carolina. Many of the abandoned farms of this section instead of becoming poorer would, under skillful management, in- crease in productiveness and value but the old system of farming in this section embraced the cultivation of large areas on an extensive instead of an intensive system, the result of which was, In many instances, the de- of the soil, and the loss Of its productivity. Where these farms have fallen Into hands of men who have employed the system, they have rapidly in- creased in fertility, and all hough land in this section can be purchased at a much lower price than character of land in the newer states, every standpoint, it is more valuable. This section can produce almost every crop that grown in the Zone. Coin, col ion, tobacco, -peanuts, fruits all kinds of tables for home consumption and for northern reach their highest development here. The money crops are tobacco, cot- ton and peanuts. Some estimate of the cost of producing- these crops, with their comparative market value may be of interest. The actual cost of cultivating, fer- harvesting and selling a crop of tobacco depends largely upon con- and the circumstances of the farmer who makes it. To hire every- thing done, at the present price of labor the cost of cultivating, harvest- and delivering an average crop of tobacco on the market in an average year will range from to per acre. The average yield per acre in an average year is from to pounds. The average price at which tobacco has fold the last few on the Greenville market has been from to cents. There are exceptional cases, where some farmers produce as much as 1500 pounds of to an acre, and these farmers secure higher prices be- cause of the superior quality of their tobacco, and consequently, this class of farmers have made a great deal of money out of tho tobacco crop. The purpose of tills article is to give to those not with the of our money crops a general idea and therefor averages are men- in general terms. Cotton costs something less to and market than tobacco, the principal difference being in the cost of the fertilizing material. The cot- ton crop does not require anything like the attention that tobacco does, although it is a crop that would pay- very well for the extra attention given it. The yield of cot- ton in this section, I judge, is from to pounds of lint in an aver- ago year. The cost of growing and marketing a crop of cotton will run from to per acre, where the labor all has to be hired Peanuts can be cultivated cheaper than either of the other two crop, requiring high grade commercial fertilizer, and less cultivation, though, like peanuts respond profitably to good cultivation The swamp lands of North Carolina will yield anywhere from five to fifteen barrels of corn to the acre, which means from to bushels. In some places in Beaufort and Hyde counties, the yield of corn is even than this. uplands of this section produce an average of from three to five barrels of corn to the acre without fertilizer, but with careful attention and the judicious use of the right kind of fertilizer, the corn yield in the uplands can be ma- and profitably increased. Owing to the close proximity of the Gulf Stream to the Carolina coast and the range of on the west, which protect this section blizzards and fierce winds of the Northwest, the winter climate of Eastern North Carolina is about all that can be desired. There are but a few days during the winter, from December until March, when most at any time farm work cannot be carried on in comfort. We have some hot. days in this section during the summer, but generally speaking, they are of short duration, and for the full development of the crops are necessary. However, the climate of this section, as a whole, both summer and winter, can hardly be improved upon in any section of our country. There is healthier in the state than Eastern North Carolina. The great which all the people fear, who live in other sections, is more a scare- crow than anything else. Some of the healthiest and mens of humanity can found here, while the general health of the sec- compare favorably with even the mountain section of the state Under an act of the lust legislature the drainage of the swamps of Eastern North Carolina will reclaim millions of acres of very rich land, and at the same time, remove to a large extent the cause of malaria.

A VISIT THERE AFTER TWENTY- YEARS BY FORMER TEACHER. His Eyes Opened to Wonderful Farming, Roads and Better Schools. In 1887, twenty-three years ago this month, I took of a public school, at what was then called Cali- co Hill, which the people of that sec- permitted me to teach, and gen- paid me thirty dollars per month. I boarded with the family of the lute Mr. George Venters. The people of that section were very good and kind to me then, and since, in my business career, some of the best friends have ever had arc the I came to know at that time. Al- though actually engaged in the to- business in Greenville since soon after that time, I have not visited i that section since. For some time have promised to go down there, and Monday evening I fulfilled that promise. It seems to me but a short time since I was there, but when I was met at by the grown and bright young man, son of Mr. H. C. Venters, with whom as a boy I when I boarded at his father's I was forcibly reminded of the flight of years. I spent the night at the home of Mr. H. C. Venters, and next morning to- we rode around the country. Although it has been more than years, I have never seen more evidence of thrift and progress than there is in that section. Much of the land thereabout that was then an almost unbroken wilderness of wood land has been cleared, and crops are growing. The little x school house in which I attempt- ed to teach has been replaced by a modern school building that would do credit to any town. The post, office at that time was Calico, and occupied a small space in the back room of Mr. store, the only place of there. Our townsman, of deeds, T. R. Moore, was in charge of post office and business of Mr. Venters. The Calico Continued on Ninth
