JANUARY 19, 1893. When towns in Tennessee report tbe mercury as down to 31 below zero it is safe to say that tbe spirit of Hyams is still at large. The meeting in tbe Court House this morning, whereby nearly $900 was raised or pledged for the relief of the poor people of Asheville, was a magnificent demonstration of true charity. Gentle' men from all parts of the city came out into the storm to tr've both money and time to the work of relieving thesuffering Tbe heart ot tbis citv beats true in re sponse to all human distress. There will be to really needy ones in Asheville if their condition can be ascertained. R. B. Hayes could not read his title to the presidency with all the clearness that is d sit able, but be made a good Presi dent. The obscurity he dropped into after he became an ex- is well illustrated by an anecdote said to have lucn told by that wit of the Senate and the New York bar, W. M. Evarts. The latter attended Garfield's funeral and on his return was asked whom he saw there. Me replied, naming several, and then adiL 1. "I saw Hayes, but no one spoke to him c.v.-pt a policeman, and be told him to get oil' the grass." Mrs. Hayes did all that she could to promote temperance in Wash ington society greatly to her credit and that, too, recalls another story told of Evarts. He attended a White House banquet and was asked to give an ac count of it the next day. "Do you know," said he, "the water flowed like champagne there last night?" LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Nasbvllle "Atucrlc in" and H. V. Butler. Editor Tub Citizen: Your yester day's issue contained a selection from the Nashville American, headed "Edito rial Delirium." I believe its insertion was an oversight on your part, otherwise your t;ood taste and oft expressed desire to consign the "bloody shirt" to oblivion is forfeited with a large and the most intelligent class of your readers. Although myself, a n itive Southern and confederate veteran through the whole war, and with my sympathies and principles as such unchanged, injus tice to the grea.t mass of Southerners of today, I wish to say of this effusion : 1st. It is vulgar profanity and, what is worse, is such blasphemy, as rarely gets into print. 2nd. It cannot, in the least, a fleet the future State for weal or woe of the sub ject, and hence "it only reveals the de praved nature of the writer of such sen timents and recoils upon him." ".V7 nisi bo mini de mortuis." 3rd. Your copying such a piece is re garded by tbe mass of your readers ns an expression ot your approval or sym pathy with the contents: nomatterwh.it you may think or intend, and you suffer while good taste is shocked. This is no defense of Gen. B. I'. Butler. His life and work are matters of history including his memorable New Orleans order, and the consequent action of the Confederate Congress. The impartial history vet to be written will assign him bis appropriate place and moral value upon her records; while we will do well to recognize the lact that the des tiny of his immortal spirit is in the hands ot the supreme Judge, who is lnhnite in wisdom ana justice. J. Asheville January 18th 1893. The Citizen distinctly did not ex press approval of "Editorial Delirium;" it was printed as a curiosity of news paper literature. Ed. Citizen. To "Observer" and "X." Editor The Citizen: By your permis sion a word to "Observer."! agree with him heartily that it is cruel to drive horses now that are smooth shod and I wish people -would calk them. It is penny wise and pound foolish not to do so. I wish too that "Observer" would join our society. We need, as he ex pressed it, "an outpouring for the dumb animal. We would like to have X join too. In other words the society is in vital need of the active cooperation ot every one who really feels as Ob server" says he does. IV. S. C, Secretary. SENATORIAL CONTES TS.

The Writer Sees a Cbance For a Reform That could be I'uder laken bv tbe Legislature The Laws' Delays and How They Might be Prevented. Editor Tub Citizen: Any uncer tainty about the title to real estate is a misfortune. When tbe uncertainties are multiplied and general, affecting all real estate, the misfortune is a public one. When the court records are not neces sarily so kept as to yield nil the informa tion they contain to the diligent searcher, but, on the contrary, are so arranged and kept that it is almost a physical impossibility to glean, with certainty, whatever may be in them with reference to any speciul parcel of land, no one can certainly say that the title to any par ticular real estate is good. The court records of this county and of such others as I have seen in this State arc in the deplorable condition above suggested. It is well known that it large amount of litigation prevails in this part of the State concerning titles to real estate and here, of all places, the best svstcm of keeping the records should prevail. Let the matter of record of judgments be considered. Absolutely no index of the persons against whom judgments are docketed is required by law to be kept, nnd yet judgments are liens on real estate for ten years. True an index of judgments is kept, but it is impossible to learn from it whether the judgment was rendered against plaintiff or defendant. Reference to other books is necessary and these heing found, nnd the multifarious entries thereof executions nnd new executions and the sheriffs returns, payments on account, receipts, etc., being laboriously examined, one is frequently almost as much in the dark after ns before the examination was made. The examina tion is always laborious, always disap pointing, generally exasperating. A proper index should bv statute be re quired to be kept, as in other States, wherein should oe set down under ap propriate columns, lt. Pntc of docketing of ludgtm nt. 2nd Names of judgment debtors, whether plaintiff-, or defendant. These names alpha betically arranged. 3rd. Amount of recovery. 4th. Names of attorneys for one who re covers. 1 his lac litates inquiries. 5th. Date when itirlxment paid. If the judgment is marked paid under the last named column that shows that the judgment is no longer a lien upon real estate. Such a book as this would be a great blessing to every one who is interested in searching the records. It is a necessity in a well regulated clerk's office. Under the present svstcm the Clerk of the Court has to do nil the bookkeeping; for judgment debtors as well ns iud.n ment creditors. Why he should do this anv more than the Register of Deeds should keep a debtor and creditor's ac count of what is secured by trust deeds, is not easily ascertained. It would seem simpler to have the Clerk handle none of the money at all, and let the parties set tle judgments amongst themselves, and when settled require the judgment creditor to give the debtor a receipt or satisfaction piece showing payment, upon presentation of which the Clerk may cancel the record of the judgment. Nothing is more necessary than to learn, when the title to real estate is being examined what, if any, litigation is pending which may affect the title. No action should be permitted to affect the title to real estate unless a notice ot the pendency of the action be tiled and indexed. There is a statute about notices of pendency of action more honored, I understand, in the breach than the observance. Ifthcreisan in dex to noticesol lis-pendensin Buncombe County I have never been able to find it. Unless one reads every document in the Clerk's office, one will never certainly know whether or not an action afleciinj; the title to any particular piece of real estate say to set aside a deed as a forgery or for any other cause is pend ing. Reform is needed here. A proper index should be kept showing every pending action and every one ever brought affecting the title to real estate. Mechanic's liens may exist for nearly a year and a purehns-.-r or one lending money uuon the security ot the land not know and have no means of learning of the existence of the lien. The lien should not exist until notice of it is filed. The laws about the acknowledgment and record of deeds are very complex. contradictory, and, m practice, annoy ing. They are so many nets to entangle the unwary. It lias been decided, for in stance, that if the wife sign and privately acknowledge the deed before her hus band's acknowledgement is taken though in other respects the law is strictly fol lowed, the deed as to the wife is void. How can it be told from anexamination of the deed, whether or not the husband or wile first executed? What earthly (hllercnce dors it make whatever the fact may lie ? Deeds now after being acknowledged have to be presented to the Clerk of the Superior court to be ordered on record Presumably the clerk critically examines the acknowledgment and learns whether or not it is in proper form, and whether or not tbe officer taking the acknvrledg- meat was a de rare officer. In practice nothing of the sort is ever done. Tbe thousands of improper acknowledge ments and of improper orders of regis tration prove the futility of the judicial examination by the clerk. it tne acknowledgment ot a deed is taken by an officer of the county where the land lies, why require any order of registration f If it comes from another county there is an evident necessity for proof of the authenticity of the signature of the distant magistrate or other officer and ot bis actually holding office. Why require tbe private examination of tbe wife ? It is a relicof the dark ages and is aooiisned in many btates. i be presumption is that wives have minds of ot tbeir own nowadays, experience proves that they have, whatever tbe presomption is, W by treat women in the matter of the execution of a deed if they were imbeciles, liviasr in fear and areaa ot tneir nusDanos. me tact is they are not. It ituncbivalrous to treat them as if they were. No length ot time, as a general rale. will cure any defect in the. title to real estate arising from a loss of deeds or other causes, as against a married wo man. Women, in this case, are bv stat ute, classed with idiots, lunatics and criminals. As Shakespeare was a good lawyer. Rosalind might bsve added, a second class of persons with whom time stays still witnai, nameiy, marnea women. And so it tarns out taat. as a very large proportion of mankind ore mar ried women, tne statute ot limitations instead of heme a "Statute of Kcposx at it is termed, isessentially the contrary as tbe sleepless nights passed by real ea- tste lawyers can prove. Certainly tbe class of persons witb wbom married women are associated in tbe Statute of Limitations is not flatter- tog to tbem. It is considered knavish to sen land second time without first re-acquiring J the title to it. One who thought and practiced dilterently would probably soon find himself behind penitentiary bars. The thought of performing such roguery as this would never enter the mind of an honest man. And yet the State of North Carolina daily does this verv thing, and sets a most pernicious example to its citizens. It is well known, doubtless, to most of the laity even, that grants for practically any tract of land in the State may be had as often as per sons run be found who will pay forthem. These grants, it is true, convey nothing, but they are used ns "color of title," and by steallily obtaining; a grant and en tering upon the possession of the laud granted, one may acquire tbe title in seven years. The State is resorted to be cause hi avv penalties are imposed upon individuals who do this sort of thing. This st.-itute isa source of untold mischief. It is hoped that the views expressed above will be received in the suirit in which they are given, as suggestions not altogether original, from a citizen of the State profoundly interested in her wel fare and progress. ('has. AlcNtimcc. Old fbrd, Jan. 10. Thinning Tin-Ill Out. A now tit-vice for plucking- strangers has liet'ii invented by the keeper of n big Clark street restaurant. Ho didn't want to frighten regular customers away by raising prices on the bill of fare, and yet felt that it was a shamo to be liehind boarding house keepers, saloons and ho tels in overchnrgin.. Yesterday a bright idea strtn-k him and bo promptly put it in operation. A waiter gave tbo snap away, "I've eaten there for six months," said a well known nierehaut, "and sel dom had cause for complaint. Last night I ordered a sirloin steak, as I bad often done before. It was much thinner than usual, Imt I was not particularly hungry and did not complain. Tbis morning I was served with n still thinner one and kicked. Then the waiter told, me the steaks were all being cut thinner this week because so m my strangers were in town, and tlio boss wanted to get more for meals without driving away the reg ulars. It's tbo same way everywhere else. The pies aro smaller; so are the pats of butter, nnd the proprietor lias ac tually run in a lot of new coffee cups that hold considerably less than the old ones." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Cost of the World's 1'air. More money has already been paid out in creating the World's fair than the directors thought would be necessary to complete it when congress voted to send the exposition to Chicago. Ten million dollars was thought to be tbo limit then. Auditor Acker-man's report shows that tho expenditures to Dec. 1 have been $13,-1U0.2;16.G1. The receipts have been 13,229,4.-il.0$. The available balance on hand Dec. 1 was $ii;;U,0G3.33, about enough to last two weeks at the present rate of expenditures, but the souvenir coins are coming, and the directors have nearly $2, 000, Out) yet in exposition bonds from which no capital has been received.
