They say he Isn't conducting the colorful, whoop-lt-up cam paign that won him the nomi nation lor governor in 1948. Here is the way at least one observer explains the Scott tactics in this respect: The former governor knows the people of North Carolina dont want a clown, or any thing faintly resembling a clown, in the United States Senate. So Scott is leaning over backwards to conduct a cam paign that is dignity itself. ? ? ? Some of the newspapermen covering the campaign say there is little evidence that the speeches and rallies have had any effect to date ? and that Scott still seems to have a sub stantial edge. They add, however, that the Lennon managers hope they have so timed their candidate's drive for votes that It will reach Its climax Just before the balloting. Most of them add, though that there just doesnt seem to be a lot of Interest ii) the sen atorial race; that most voters appear much more interested In who will be the next county sheriff or representative in the legislature than in whom North Carolina will send to the United States Senate.

Bar Association) RECORDING DEEDS In order to protect the pur chasers ol real property, the State of North Carolina has provided in each of its counties an official known as the Regis ter of Deeds, whose duties in clude the recordation of deeds conveying real property. Safety in the purchase of real estate depends largely on the prompt and proper recordation of deeds. It is entirely possible that a deed which is valid in ail re spects at the time it is signed and delivered to the grantee may later become void because it is not recorded in apt time in the office of the Register of Deeds in the county where the land is located. Such a deed is a deed of gift (that is, one for which nothing is paid). The law requires that a deed of gift be recorded within "two years from the date of its exe cution." The term "execution" includes delivery of the deed to the grantee, who is the person to whom title to the property passes. A deed of gift may be perfectly good when executed and may pass title to the gran tee, but if such deed is not re corded within two years from the date of execution, it be comes void and title to the property conveyed by the deed goes back to the grantors in the deed, or to their heirs. A PROTECTIVE LAW The law which provides for this reversion of title may seem a harsh one, but it was enacted to prevent greater evils. For ex ample, look at the case of a man who had four children and decided to convey to each of them a tract of land. Prior to the time of delivery of the leeds, a daughter became serl- d msly 111 and It was not known t rhether she would ever recover, g So the father decided to retain t. he deeds until the condition e >f her health was known, hav- d ng in mind that he might need o retain the property to care 'or the sick daughter if her Ul less continued. The father died vithout ever having delivered my of the deeds. An unscrupu ous son knew where the deeds were kept and destroyed all of ?hem except one conveying a :ract of land to himself. He thereby gained for himself the title to the land described in the deed and an equal share in his father's remaining property, unless the remainder was ap portioned by will. Then this son claimed that the father deliver ed the deed to him and fabri cated some excuse for having kept the matter a secret from the other children. If such ex cuse seemed reasonable, few juries would be likely to set the deed aside unless the other chil dren could prove that the deed was not delivered. But if this unscrupulous son claimed that the deed was delivered at a date prior to two years, he would talk himself out of court and out of the tract of land de scribed in the deed. RECORDING IMPORTANT Whether a deed is delivered as a gift or for value received, it Is important that it be re corded by the Register of Deeds in the county where the land lies if the grantee is to protect his title. If the purchaser fails to record his deed, the seller may convey the same land to a second purchaser, and if the second records his deed first, the property becomes his. On the other hand, if the purchaser fails to record his deed and a creditor of the seller places a judgment on the rec ord against the seller, the judg ment attaches to the land of the purchaser, and this land may be sold to satisfy the judg ment. Often a buyer neglects to re cord his deed because he feels that the seller is so wealthy that no actual risk exists. The depression of the thirties taught us that few men are beyond be coming insolvent since most businesses are operated on a credit basis. In addition, recent tax cases have shown that some men of apparent wealth have accumu lated money through failure to edare and pay their Income axes, in such event the federal overament files a tax lien and his lien attaches to the prop rty conveyed by unrecorded eeds. CHECKS THE RECORD In examining the title to real iroperty, the attorney checks he record of the seller until he date the deed from him is -corded, regardless of the date hat it was written and signed, ie determines whether every leed or other Instrument af ectlng the title to the property las been properly drawn and ?ecorded within the time re luired by law. Upon determin ing that the title Is clear, your leed should be recorded so that no act by any other person may thereafter encumber the title to ihe property purchased. The recordation of your deed also protects your title In the event 3t loss of the original deed. Did you ever stop to think that The Franklin Press is different?
