Carolina Watchman

              carolina watchman thursday jan 28 iss6 registration of deeds the purpose of the act passed by the last legislature seeins to have been noth ing more than a special effort to induce citizens buying lands to register their deeds within the time required by law it ia a fact overlooked by most people that there has been a very old law on onrstatute books requiring de ds to ' e registered within two yearsafier they aremade and thai deeds held back from registration after more than two years old do nol constitute a title in law but only evidence of title no deed makes a title in law until registered and thi been the law ever sim th establishment of the state government the legislu ture has frequently extended the time for registration and at its last session fixed the limit to lsi jan 18s6 aft r which time there will be extra troul.lv to establish the validity of unregistered deeds of longer standing than two years it is a fact again that strangers com ing into this state to purchase landed property go to the register's office to trace the title and assure themselves that the proposed purchase will be safe l the deeds on the property have not been registered they are advised that the holder of the land has no titlein law and cannot have until his deeds are duly ex amined proven and registered a case of this sort was in the hands of messrs craige s clement recently and they were put to vast trouble to trace out the title through wold deeds all of which had to be registered before they could make the sale proposed and give a legal right or title it was to obviate such trouble and the risk of valuable rights that the legislature has from time to time sought to induce a universal com pliance with the law on this subject the cjroiii^ls investigation the state chronicle has been examin ing and reviewing the state department of agriculture with the view of showing extravagance in the management the parties who are responsible to the people are those who compose tin si ate board of agriculture for they have the disbursing ofthc funds the officers of the board can only make limited expenditures without the sanction of the board this board is composed of gov a m scales w g upchurch president of the state agricultural society : k 1 battle ll.d president of the university w k wil liams master of the stale grange l'at rous of husbandry and one gentleman from each of the nine congressional dis tricts in the state respectively as follows : col r v wharton dr a g brooks dr matt moore col v forney green azariah graves esq john robin son esq a leazar esq burwell bian ton esq dr c d smith they are the power behind the throne and it extrava gance is permitted in the department they know it and must answer the chaf es made how well the chronicle has succeeded in showing up the department the watchman docs not undertake to say it believes however in the integrity of each member of the board and of each officer in charge and does not believe that they wvul i willfully waste one cent of the state's money or that they would countenance extravagance in any form in order to be in f hion ho\v vr and ubrca ' with the times he watchman

list of thos employed by the department at new orleans last year in making an exhibit of the state's resource in this world's ex position the xcivis and observer calls at tention to the fact that the writer's name was omitted and at the same time takes occasion to compliment the omitted very highly which is acknowledged with a bow it also says its friend and neighbor the state chronicle is over modest in omitting him from the list of honored names simply because he has been its own correspondent,'and perhaps a member of the chronicle publishing company £<■. the letters written from new orleans to the chronicle were uusolicite 1 and the , writer has no interest in the company re ferred to ' the clir.m i claims that the omission was an oversight taking into consider ation that the omitted was in new , orleans longer than any one else connect : ed with the exhibit except mr p m ' wilson the commissioner in charge-1 that he was a.-fuej commissioner in mr wilson's absence thai he had charge of the largest division of the exhibit and ; that he weighs a shade above 20 i pounds the oversight is a little remarkable a man in the lea?1 disposed to quibble about ' such things might insist thai it was an unpardonable oversight : but when one reviews the casual notice given charles i armstrong and dr blum who lalored zealously for the mil-e of the state and i did well the work assigned them he is nol disposed to fuss because he was left out no indeed when a man enjovs the con sciousness of having done the dutv as signed to him to the very best of his abil i ity and when he has received the m s i i compensation earned by such perform ; ance of duty there is no after obligation i if censured he may regret thai hisabil 1 ity w is not greater if praised he is j ful for the

editor of the chronicle explains in a private letter the oversight and adds i know you will understand thai i would do you no in justice and that the omission was unin tentional this is accepted fully and in the spirit intend d pifferences the chronicle thn^ks that the extra al lowance of bs per month paid mr wil son while in charge of the north carolina exhibit at new < rleans was extravagant here we draw the line and beg to differ g , .;,;• from being extravagant it was i the par ii i mioua extreme the rapresentativc of the state was obliged to make expenditures extend courtesies little things here and there—which c , u ld nol be charge on an expense ac c milt bin which it was entirely neces sary to spend by virtue of his office and , ;) the credit of the sin to the knowl edge of the writer mr wilson was obfiged to < xpen 1 every day little sums ■,,. j;j,!i soon made a large total and in his opinion the 25 per month allowed him for such expenditures fell far short of covering the amount spent in other words mr wilson lost money by being the state's representative at the world's exposition and just here is a proper place to say that he was a most faithful econom ical and efficient representative next the chronicle lowered the tone of its investigation by pausing to wither mr w a withers in the matter of the de rive of a m mr withers is a young man and gained his degree by dilligent application to his books outside of work hours and is naturally proud of his ac quired degree it is a commendable pride aud the chronicle had an oppor tunity to make a correction gracefully which it failed to do it gives the inves tigation the appearance of being insti gated by a motive sinister or to gain notoriety rather than a purely disinter ested de ire to have the people's money wisely and economically expended since the above was written the news and observer publishes the report of the examining committee as follows at this meeting of the board the cxamina ,. is made by

thai the people were to cii with their lie ii and only waited for a possible pretext inaccurate the herald in its review of the streets of salisbury has fallen into several errors i respect to the history of the names given them fulton street for instance was nol uamed in honor of ih great steamboat inventor robert fulton 1 but by the writer in honor of the late captain john fulton who more than 60 years ago lived in the house now oavned and occupied by mr a j mock the masonic lodge in thisplace was also named in honor of him he was a highly respected citizen and left at his death which occurred about the year 1826 a family greatly beloved on account of their amiableness the mock house was used by him as a hot :. and at thai time salisbury was a summer health resort for people living in the more swampy re gions of this state and south carolina fulton's hotel was popular the property then embraced the whole square was a cotton gin house on the spot now j occupied by the residence of mr wm j overman and a large well-appointed stable for race horses on the spot now occupied by mr j alien brown one other inaccuracy is in respect to ellis street it was named in honor of the late governor ellis ave think who built there not far from 1850 but j inn because he was born there the 1 governor was a native of davidson conn ty his father owned the valuable pro perty now owmd and

written for and against the course of the board of county commissioners in re gard to the resignation of col t j sum ner first bya"j p denouncing their action ; then by another j p defeud i ing it and finally by uj p r in his very elaborate reply neither of whom have probably succeeded in convincing any body but himself of anything now the i whole matter may be summed up in a llut-shell to wit the magistrates are the only persons on earth empowered to elect a county commissioher and conse quently they are the only persons who had the right to accept or reject the res ignation of col sumner and the hurried action of the board in meeting before the magistrates met and their rescinding their former acceptance of the resigna tion was simply a faree l not worth the paper on which their clerk recorded the action they had no more authority : under the law to either accept or reject his resignation than the mtiii in the moon an;l the magistrate who alone could act in the premises never having taken any action in the matter col sumner is as fully and effectually the commissioner now as lie ever was the only thingthat seems strange to us is that col sumner who is a man of more than ordinary in telligence should for a moment think of tendering his resignation to any persons but the magistrates themselves there is indeed no absolute necessity for lire commissioners and if col sum uer's health did not permit him to act he certainly was under no compulsion to do " so or to resign either at any regular meeting of the hoard any member could have been appointed chairman pro tern in the case of the laic inferior court col shober was first elected chairman after serving fifteen months he received an appointment at washington hedidnot resign but one of the two remaining members of the * ymrt served as chairman pro inn until the end of the year and the court moved on as smoothly with its two members as it had previously done with three and there was no good reason why the commissioners could not have done the same as any member of their body is or ought to be capable of acting as chairman if they had pursued this course it would have saved a good deal of vexation and disappointment in most case populus rii/f decipi may be a true maxim but in such a matter as the whole body of the magistrates being called out in that inclement season ofthe year to assist the commissioners in en acting a farce and then to be sent home without the privilege of taking th ir part in it is one of the cases wherein the people do not vi h to be deceived ;" and it all might have been avoided ii the commissioners had consulted the law before they ordered the magistrates out xe time when they call on the mag istrates it may turn out as in the 1 ;■. e of the cry of o the wolf
