4- (Senator Cot ten's measure embody-
. ing the Torrens System of Land Ti
tles is one of the really - important
bills which is scheduled to be disposed
'v o fthis week. It will have its initial
hearing in the Senate where the nri
w . nority report of the committee (it
having been reported adversely by the
committee recently, much to the sur-
prise of its friends) which ineorpor

cial order for Wednesday.
Without any intention" to- criticise

. t port is doe to the hostility of the le-
' - gal profession which " is always so
-r --' largely represented in every- jegisla-
- twre. Land owners, bankers and oth-
" ' era are hearty friends of the measure
and (for reasons one of which eatncs,
the lawyers to oppose H,it is saioW
the fact that it will relieve land own-
; era of the expense of paying lawyers
fees fop- examining titles every time
a niece of real estate is sold or". its
owner finds it necessary to borrow j
' money with land as security. But for
) this opposition it is believed the bill
would be passed practically without
opposition and its friends hope to pass
it-anyway, over such opposition. .
v The matter of good roads (State
Highway Commission) is a matter
that is clamoring for attention this
week. Tbe Senate has reported, a
committee substitute for tbe bills pre
k sented on the subject, bat whether it
will be adopted by both bouses is still
a-question, one that will be settled
probably this week or early nexj; week.
'There as a number of other impor-
. tant measures pending that cannot be
forecasted in detail here. In order to
give them even a limited consideration
. afternoon and' night sessions as well
as the more important morning' ses
sions will be held daily ifrom now on,
. , Decision of the Joint Caucus. ?
- Much interest attaches to tbe action
of the joint Democratic caucus' which
was postponed from last Friday night
to Wednesday night of this week. Two
of the most important of a number of
questions it will be called upon to set
tle will be the matter of redistricting
tbe State for congressmen and the
enactment (or not) of the proposed
"Legalised State Primary." ;
The delay in acting on tbe latter
proposition is unquestionably due to
ome powerful influence or influences,
. else it would nave nave neen disposed
of before this. While special, pains
: appear to have been taken in some
' quarters to impress the newspaper
' men here that there is practically no
n opposition to it, there is undoubtedly
an undercurrent df opposition that has
not yet 'clearly revealed itself. Still,
I should say with ell the lights before
me, that the demand for such a pri-
mary-is such that it will prevail when
Hie matter Jse Anally acted upon,' and
that its friends are able to prevent it
from failing by default,
" - Whether the plan of action with re-
snect to the strengthening of the pres
- ent anti-trnst law will be discussed
and acted upon in the eauens doe not
". sufficiently appear to hazard a predict
,. tion. ' '

Fox chasing has been a favorite pes-
tsrae for quits a while. Promising
amateurs bare vapidly, developed into
professionals in the sport.: This is
true off men, boys and dogs. The fox
hunters born is a (familiar sound on
every plantation. ' Nightly the music
of the dogs has been the sweet refrain
by which those in the country have
sought their peaceful slumbers.' But I
lately the chase has come within the
limits of the incorporated municipal
ity of Mt. Pleasant itself. Every dog
in town is a fox chaser. The daring
fox came bear running down a few of
onr citisens, bat be proved just a bit
too speedy, for-the dogs, until lam
night when he took too great a risk
and the dogs caught one of the finest
specimens of a "yellow torn eat ever
placed on 'exhibition on a telephone
pole in Mt Pleasant. - There are those,
however, who declare it is only a de
generated specimen of a red fox.

Eatnrday night, so thinks little Pauline
Barney, who received the slap, andM
thinks pretty little Vivian, the star
performer in a real life comedy where
in shfl has her manager arrested and
very much seared for a tame. , "
The joyful end came Sunday, when
McDowell fell on bis knees before the
heroine Vivian and pleaded for mercy
and then turned to Pauline and begged
for pardon. - . t ;
It was Vivian who bad sworn out
the warrant.. It was Vivian pretty
little blue-eyed and golden-baired Vt
vien-r-who bad seen the slap and,"
flashing red with her ire to ber-very.
Sneer tips, had rushed to oolice head
quarters to beg protection for her
comrade; it was Vivien -who hastened
to Solicitor Womble Sunday mormngn
and begged that the warrant be with
drawn; it was little Vivien who, a ver
itable Portia in her defence, steed be
fore the solicitor and pleaded mercy
for her lord. She said she was from
Kentucky, a lady born, and that she
could not bear to see a woman struck
by the hand of a man,' but that she
mainly wanted to humble McDowell
and now that he was humbled she was5
willing fo withdraw the warrant. i So
Vivien won her case and McDowell
was let off with the payment of the
cost and went on bis way rejoicing to

? Japan, Says Hobsoa. '
Washington. February Is a
spirited and impassioned appeal to tbe
House or military preparedness Rep- :
resentative Richmond Pearsoa Hobsoa
today predicted war between this
country and Japan within the next .
10 months. The conflict, be declared.
is inevitable and will find this country
unprepared and Japan t ho roughly pre
pared. Mr. Hobson said: "
I tell yon franklyHhat ia my juds .
ment you can count almost on tbe An
gers of your two bands the nnmber of -
months to the time of tbe conflict. '
I say war is a visible certainty, and ' "
it cannot be very far off.
In every department of preparation,
whether for the army or navy, the
merchant marine and the transports,
the finances or diplomacy, it will be '
found that war has already been pre- ,
pared for and has been for a number
df months.
Japan has been tbe one nation in
the world with aeuteness and ability
enough to finance a war before it
comes. Japan is hard up now, because
the war is already financed. .
We are going to find ourselvqs,,nt.
a remarkably early stage of that war"
absolutely helpless to do a thing. '
The first great struggle would be '
over control of the canal. ,We would
have control of the Atlantic and open
communication with the Panama
Canal.
It will be humiliating to see the
Philippines occupied practically with
out a struggle. Hawaii, Guam,. Sa
moa, the Aleutian Islands, Alaska,
Panama, San Francisco " and ' the
Puget Sound region will be occupied.
When we gam control of .the Pa
cific the war will be simplified, . but
will only be started because then we
would have to cross to fight , in the
enemy's country. ' ? :i
