The amend ment in full follows: laws mav be passed providing for a system of registering-, transfer ring, insuring and guaranteeing land titles by the State or by the counties thereof, and for setting and determining adverse or other claims to which are registered, insured or guaranteed, and for the creation and collection of gura-anty funds by fees to be assessed against lands, the ti tles to which are registered; and ju dicial powers with right of appeal may by law be conferred upon coun ty recorders or other officers in mat ters arising under the operation of such system. It lias been called the Torrens amendment probably because the Torrens system of land registration is the only one generally recognized. Yet the field is not limited, and if in the future any system is found to compete with the Torrens it will be entitled to a hearing, Were the amendment indorsed, the details of the i lan would, of course, remain for the Legislature to work out. There is, however, a general procedureunder the Torrens system which has become virtually standard. As many know, the Torrens system was devised by Sir Robert Richard Torrens, premier of South Australia in 1557, for the judicial registration of tir'es to land, The idea received a quick acceptance in many parts of the world. Ohio had a Torrens law at cne time but the Supreme Court declared it invalid. In gerora-, procedure under a Tor rens law, the enactment of which would be possible under the propos ed amendment, eond.ri.3 in an appli cation to the designated court by a person interested for the registration of his title to seme property. The title is examined and certified by an official examiner. The sta!;e is then made a defendant in any suit invblv- ' mg tne validity o tnat title. The result claimed for the Tor rens system is that a new and inde feasible title in land is created by the State. Only one search of title is re quired, the present multiplication of searches with successive transfers I NIACIN n th Cr.r-; lir.a. ntons Stables. ; or night. b.-ing abolished.

States, as well as a number of for eign nations, have Torrens laws Under the amendment, it wtmld re main for the legislature to prepare a law to meet the will of the state wide constituency. It would proba-1 biy b' ycers before the whole sys tem could be put into operation. Proposal No. 1G should be adopted. The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Increase in Stats Banking. Raleigh, July 25. The North Car olina Corporation Commisiion issued today the summary of statements of conditions of the 377 State, private and savings barks in North Carolina at the close of business June 14ih, showing an increase in assets from $03,210,703 to $71,114,154, since June, 1911. The deposits subject to check in creased from $26,805,069 to $28,043, 011; time certificates of deposit from $7,0C5,0S9 to $8,172,335; demand cer t:fkates of deposit from $3,631,128 to $i, 433,1361, and savings deposits from $7,882,241 to $10,751,650. The p lid in capital is $0,953,700, a gain of $055,597 for the year. The value of banking houses and fixtures has increased $567,968. The item of dues from bankers shows an increase of $2,115,867.

Boys be careful. The "steam roller" has retired and an effort will be made to pro duce the landslide. The Democratic platform boiled down is: "Take your hand out of my pocket." The difference between Dr. Wil son's jaw and Col. Roosevelt's jaw that the cartoonists enjoy the doc tor's almost as much as the colonel enjoys his own. If Munsey and Dixon are right and Roosevelt has a better chance of winning than Taft, Wilson might as well begin composing his Inaugu ral address, and selecting his cabi net. There's one advantage of being a bull moose; taking to the woods will come easy, and natural. Gov. Wilson is not a boss. He is a preceptor, a disciplinarian, and ac complished leader of the people." Now and then a candidate looms up who insists on running in the face of all kinds of danger signals. Try to remember that nobody cares how warm you are and change the subject. New Jersey doubtless would be content to qualify as the foster mother of presidents. Naturally the alledged attempt to blow up Taft with an infernam ma chine didn't attract much attention at a time when he is being blown up by "T. R." every day. Express companies don't take to the anti-fat treatment. Swat the huckleberry pie. The welcome planned for Lorimer on his return to Gvcp.-to hrpsband speeches &c ought to imbue him with a desire to stick to Chicago. President need not fear to be list ed among the "also rans." The term will be "also rolled." : Too often popularity isn't worth the price. A girl who is always picking quar rels may find it difficult to pick a husband.

How in the world she ever succeeded in knotting enough socks and stockings for the whole bloomin' family, especially when there 'were a lot of boys to wear out toes and heels faster than a knitting machine could knit them, we do not know, but she kept the family in socks and stockins all right. The home knit sock 'is an unknown article now. A woman knitting socks and stockins with the old-time needles would be a curiosity in this dav. But do they wear socks, the hus bands and sons of today? They do some. Instead of the coarse, home knit socks of former days they are wearing veil-like silk socks no beg your pardon it is hose that is worn now. vva venture the assertion that never sincTTthe first sock and stock ing were knit has hosiery been as much in evidence as it is in this dav of veil-like hosiery Did you ever see a scented youth wearing his first pair of silk socks we mean hosiery? If you never did you have missed a lot of fun. - It will pay you to take half an hour off the next .time you see one of the aforesaid scented youths wearing his dazzlina wardrobe and strutting in his first pair of silk socks hosiery and watch the "amoozin' littlle cuss" for that ;.length of time. See him roll up the bottom of his "breeches" legs, watch him catch a strangle hold on the legs of his aforesaid "breech es" when he sits down and pulls 'em up just "ferninst" his knees, But hold on, you have not seen the amu sing part of the progsam yet, just watch him as he sits there in the presence of the girls and casts side wise glances at "them same silk hos iery" he is wearing and then to fee him gently stcike "them hosiery" on his ankles, and feel the silky feel of 'em and then sion overspread his countenance. It is a dull person who cannot get at least a quarters worth of fun out of the performance although the sdectator may have an "innard" feeling that the one fur nishing the fun needs tnree swift kicks properly applied and then led out behind the house and told that his daddy who is blowing out his good money to buy that silk hosiery he is wearing never knew anything on his shins except a home-knit sock which he tried to keep covered with his breeches. And the girl wearing her first pair of silk hosiery have you ever seen her? For her was the street cross ing ever too muddy? This gentle reader will be continued in a later number of this periodical.

GRACE ACQUITTED. Cltarged With Shooting Her Husband With Intent to Kill. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2. Mrs. Daisy Upie Grace was declared not guilty of trying to kill her husband by a jury here at 5 o'clock this evening Mrs. Grace, wealthy and well known in her former home in Philadelphia and here, was on the verge of col lapse when the twelve men who had decided her fate filed into the court room. When thqrverdict was announced she simply bowed her head. A few minutes after she had been acquitted, she was handed a tele gram saying her blind son was verv ill in Philadelphia, and it is under stood she will leave for his bedside late to-night. Immediately after the verdict was given women struggled frantically to reacn me place wnere Mrs. tirace sat, only to be forced back by offi cers. The jurymen remained in their places even after they had been discharged. A full minute elapsed and then Mrs. Grace arose arid was assisted to the jury box. For the first time she showed a sign of animation, as silently she grasped the hand of each of the twelve men. Mrs. Grace was escorted from the court room immediately afterwards. Argument in the case was con cluded after 1 o'clock this afternoon and Judge Roan immediately began his charge to the jury. Housework Urudery ! a H?TMS &y or the w-ak woman.

It is a tree of immense propor tions. It is cn the land of Mr. W. G. Smoot, near Trap Hi!!, in Wilkes county, and is owned by Messrs. J. B. Horton, of Elkin, and H. W. Horton. cf North Wllkcs boro. The record shows that the tree is 10 feet 5 inches in circumfer ence at the ground, and 12 feet r inches just bwow the first limb, which is 8 feet above the ground. It was a large tree 90 years ago, and it is known to be over 100 years old, and it may be 150. It bears ap ples right along, the variety un known, the people of that section calling it the "Rich Apple." because the color is rich, yellow-red striped and the flavor rich. The fruit ma tures in September and keeps until late fall and is of medium r-ize. Pictures of the big eld apple tree have been sent tho Department of Agriculture and men shown in the picture standing by it look to be the size of small boys.

Dodson's Liver Tor.e Dosz th Same Work as Calomel Without Making you sick. It is , Vegetable, Tastes Good and Never Fails. A good index as to what kind of a citizen he is, is to look about his premises. See how much rubbish he allows to be thrown out and re main either in front or back. Look at the litter, the shaky fence, the unsightly hog pen, ill shaped and carelessly built out houses of every kind. If you find things looking like a hog had prepared things about his premises, then you may conclude that it does not lack much of being a hog. Any man can be neat and can make things around him neat and clean if he will try, but it is the hog that is in him that makes him satisfied with filth and trash and un sightly things and you can tell who is by looking at his premises as you pass by, either in town or in the country. His way of doing things will betray his natures. We invite the people to take a peep at a few places around town and see if we are not right. Sullivan County De veloper. Mr. W. S.

For sale by all dealers. Everybody who has ever taken cal omel knows what a strong drug it is. Calomel spurs the tired liver as if it were a tired horse, and while the li ver works harder for a littlS while, it is sooner weaker than ever.

For either children or grown people. E. T.
