Thursday, August 22, 1942.] THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Page Eleven S:OP, HEAD, ACT AT ONCE. (Continued from page 8.) coming in to redeem this wareliolse property with out your ten dollars. If you think that probably twenty-nine thousand and nine hundred others will think the same thing, and the option will be forfeited. Five acres of valuable land has been donated in Raleigh and will be deeded to this warehouse company as soon as money enough is raised to build a warehouse on it. Other cities stand ready to donate lots as soon as money is raised to build on them. Brethren, it up to you to.show what you are made of. Your State officials can not build ware houses without money. They have no legal right to take the funds out of the union treasury to in vest in warehouses that are a part of an incorpo rated stock company. Besides, it would soon de plete our treasury. This is an emergency. The Farmers’ Union of North Carolina appeals to every member to do his duty, and do it to-day. We have been preaching for results. What will l^he harvest be? I am yours fraternally, H. Q. ALEXANDER. INTEREST IN TORRENS SYSTEM. The members of the A. & M. local deserve much credit for the initiative they have taken to inter est" the people of the county in the Torrens System. The public meeting held in the court-house in Ral eigh, Saturday, resulted in a very interesting dis cussion and those who attended were given much Valuable information. It only, by a proper study ef this subject, especially among farmers, that the objections to the enactment of a Torrens law, can be overcome. * * * OFFICIAL CALL FOR THE ANNUAL MEET- * * ING OF NATIONAL FARMERS’ UNION. * * * * To the Members of the Farmers’ Union: * * In keeping with the provisions of the Con * * stitution, the eighth annual meeting of the * National Union, Farmers’ Educational and * Co-operative Union of America, is hereby call- * ed to convene at 10 o’elock a. m., Tuesday, ♦ September 3, 1912, in the Reed Building, ♦ Chattanooga, Tenn., to remain in session until * all business which may properly come before * the Union has been transacted. * Fraternally C. S. BARRETT, Attest: President * A. C. DA"VIS, Secretary. • '* Rogers, Ark., July 20, 1912. * * TORRENS SYSTEM DISCUSSED. The public meeting held in the court-house in Raleigh, Saturday, for the discussion of the Tor rens System of Registration of Land Titles, is said to be the first public gathering of the kind ever held in Wake County. The results of this meet ing was entirely satisfactory and sentiment in the county seems to be strongly in favor of the estab lishment of this system in the State. The meeting, which was held under the direc tion of the A. & M. College local and Dr. W. A. Withers, of the A. & M. faculty, presided over the meeting. Although a number of speakers were scheduled to be pre.s6nt to speak several were un able to be present, but the addresses of Mr. Henry E. Litchford and Mr. J. C. Little, fulfilled every requirement, and those present listened atten tively and took advantage of the opportunity to apply questions, all of which were fully answered by the speakers. We are pleased to print in this issue Mr. Litch- ford’s address in full, and in a future issue we hope to give that of Mr. Little. We would espe cially request that every reader of this paper study this question, and the address of Mr. Litchford will give you much information of the right kind. THE- TJORRENS’ SYSTEM. (Continued from page 9.) executes a mortgage on his property. A man to day to pledge his realty injures his credit, as it is regarded as a rather suspicious transaction, evi dencing financial weakness. It should be made so that he can use his real property in like manner as his stocks or bonds or notes or accounts — quickly—at little expense, for short time, and for such amounts as his demands require—and con fidentially. The introduction of the Torrens System in North Carolina would mean to the people and the banks an increase in bankable resources of three hundred million dollars—six times the present re sources of all our banking institutions, and I be lieve the saving in five years would be a sum suffi cient to macadamize every country road in the State. The greatest good to be derived, however, is en couraging the purchase of land, for “small land holders are the most precious part of a State.’’ The State claims to be the owner, the original and ultimate owner of all of her lands. This ownership first appears in her land grants and is now found in the exorcise of the right of eminent domain, escheat and the levying of taxes. Claim ing and exercising these original rights and sov ereign powers, it is the duty of the State to grant good titles to her citizens and to enable them to keep their titles good under the just administra tion of equitable land laws. This plain duty has never heretofore been performed by the State, and the time has now come when she should meet her high obligation in this regard. The men and women that are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticise.—Elizabeth Harrison, at Xl^cse F^remiums Retails Everywliere at $1.00 The Speady Stitcher is the “Only Awl For All People” It .surpasses other makes of awls because: everything is inside the handle, no screw driver is required to remove bobbin, no wrench required to tighten needles, ^ny machine needle can be used, it is provided with special needle for soling shoes, it has a tension for tightening stitch, and is the simplest and most durable.
