POLK MILLER COLTOM -.u miSTS Fiddlers Plenipotentiary AND STORY TELLERS PAR-EXCELLENCE - BRUCE CRAVEN WRITES LAWBOOK "The Torrens Law" New Law Book of Interest to all North Carolinians. (From Charlotte Observer.) "The Torrens Book" by Bruce Craven has just come from the presses of The Obsevrer Printing House, and is of interest and im portance to every business man and land owner as well as to the lawyers. The books contains the full text of the Torrens law with introductory chapters that make it plain to the average layman while containing enough alw to satisfy any lawyer. The Torretig law enacted by the last General Assembly is a new registartion law by which any owner of real estate may have his title cleared hy the court and forever guaranteed by the State. Mr. Craven says the cost in or dinary cases need not exceed $15 for such guaranteed title, and that whatever the cost, it will add ten times itself to the value of 'he land in making it more easily marketable or negotiable as se curity for debt. Bruce Craven is well known to readers of The Observer by his work as a writer, and this book in its clearness and completeness, indicates that he possesses equal ability as a lawer. An unusual feature in a law book is the large clear type and the general neat ness of the printing and binding. The price is one dollar post-paid and only a few copies were print ed in excess of the .advance or ders. ..' 0 "ALKALI" IKE Augustus Carney, the Famous "Alkali" Ike With Essanay Western Stock Company.

The county is to be congratulated on this for ward move.
