Charlotte has now two halls suit able for musical entertainments. There is in the city plenty of good musicians and music-lovers to sus tain the technical 6ide of musical entertainments. But there is need of a musical society supported by the business interests to insure and sup port more frequent musical entertain ments. Guarantees for the best kind of musical entertainments should not be left to be borne by the musicians only but it would pay the business interests 'to lend a strong hand and make this a musical centre. THE TORREN'S SYSTEM. A bill has been Introduced in the Legislature to provide North Caro lina with the Torrens System of reg istering land titles. The subject is being agitated also in Virginia; South Carolina and Georgia. The Progres sive Farmer is a strpng advocate of the measure and as an evidence of lt3 need, cites the present antiquated system of registering titles. 'Every time a piece of real estate changes hands," It says, "siome lawyer must examine Into the legality of the title. RAILROAD ' TALK. - The Chronicle yesterday noted that the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio had made connection at' Bostic with the Seaboard, and .would be in readiness next week for' through' traffic. They have been hearing things at Norfolk about these two roads. A dispatch from that place to The Cincinnati Enquirer, speaking of the C.', C. & O., says: "This road, like the Seaboard, is controlled by Thomas F. Ryan," but there is a well-founded report to-day that Harriman has gobbled up both A 3IOXUMEXT TO A GOVERX 3INTS NEGLECT.

Greensboro Street Car Line Said to Have Been Sold to New York Par ties Inter-Urban to Winston-Sa lem. Winston Sentinel. The presence of Bird S. Coler and James Hoag, New York capitalists, in Greensboro, has revived a rumor that Mr. Coler and associates have either closed a deal or are negotiating, for the purchase of the Greensboro street railway and electric light plant. The News says that when seen by a re porter Mr. Coler declined to make a statement as to the truthfulness of the report. The rumor which has been current for some time is that a deal has prac tically been closed whereby Bird S. coier and associates have become owners of the Greensboro- Electric Company, together with the franchises and rights of way between Greens boro, High Point and Winston-Salem. It is also rumored that Coler and his associates are Interested in the reor ganization of the Whitney Power Company, which is to furnish power for the operation of the Greensboro Electric Company's projects. it is talked on the streets by peo ple who are in position to know whereof they speak that in the event coler and his associates . get posses sion of the Greensboro Electric Com pany the street car system of Greens boro will be extended and Improved and that probably a quarter of a million dollars will be expended in tnis work. New lines are to be built extending out East Market and North Elm streets. Additional cars will be in stalled and the service improved. Work on the inter-urban lines will likely be commenced soon after the transfer is made. Another improvement wiiich it is said the new company has in mind is me. erection of a. new gas plant to cost probably $100,000. President H. E. Fries, of the Fries Manufacturing and Power Company, was asked this morning if any nego tiations were on regarding the build ing of the much-talked-of inter-urban , line between Winston-Salem and Greensboro or High Point. Mr. Fries replied that he knew of no new devel opments and had no idea there would be anything doing along this line in the near future. Mr. Fries' company has' a contract with the Southern Power Company, of Charlotte, to furnish a certain amount of powe for the operation tf local plants, beginning Julv 1. Mr. Fries is confident that the Charlotte concern will have a line in operation to this point by that time.

This seems to be a new idea and is explained by The Greensboro Patriot. "An enterpris ing and progressive young man" ad vanced the idea. He explained to The Patriot the practical value of auch a plan and related his experi ence in connection with a road run ning through his farm.

The county commissioners of Yad kin Instructed the sheriff a few days ago to issue retail liquor license to N. Glenn Williams. This looks . strange under the prohibition law, but doubt less all parties knew what they were doing. The officials .certainly would not have taken this stepjf they had not been sure of their grounds, and we don't believe that Mr. Williams would have paid the price if he had not known what he was doing.
