We were pearly six months* in getting a reply to that question but the special committee appointed by coun cil gave it to us this week. Voters should not confuse enrollment, with registration. To vote in the pri mary it is rieoeessa ry that each voter enroll himself on the club roll to be found in his precinct. To register one must go the court house and present his tax receipts for last year. The registration Inioks are open between the hours of Jl a. in. and 0 p. in. The registration books will clone August 111. Council made a wise selectiou in naming It. II.

There is not a spoonful of sugar to he wasted if the supply in sight is to last for the noxUsix month*. Only the individual consumer, who buys for household use, can secure sugar now without a certificate. The Food Administration has placed all manufac turers using sugar, all soda fountains and soft drink makers, all hotels and public eating places, on a sugar ratiou. The homo consumer, the individual, is expected by the Food Administration to apply the sugar ration to himself volun tarily? -.three pounds per mouth |>er per son. In this, tho cooperation of tho house wife is absolutely necessary. Vol more thun two pounds of sugar will be sold at one purchase to anyone person residing in a city or town, and not more than live j rounds will be sold to any one person living in a rural com munity. . Sugar should not be used to sweeten fruits. < Children should be taught to do with out their accustomed .sweet*. ? ? To help inn ko the supply go round and to divide with the soldiers and tho peo ple of allied countries, everyone must save sugar. I 'so no more than is absolutely neces sary. for sugar is precious. For running and preserving sugar can be obtained up to 2.1 pounds per month, upon t In* signing of pledges, which the dealers have, that the sugar will be used for this purpose only; but rich jellies and preserves should not be nttempted this summer in view of the acuteness of tho sugar shortage, sn.vs the Food Ad iniiiMnilioti. PATRIOTISM. A former governor of South t'uroliuu. \\li?? is m?\v a candidate fur the.

It is a new use of advertising in South Carolina. It represents for this State an effort at establishing a new method of law enforcement. We believe that in both respects Mr. Ilaile and Mr. Ulbbex have sot a line example und one which can be followed with excellent results in a wide field. The presumption that every man known the law is one which the courts are com* polled to net upon, for very obvious rea sons ; but everybody knows that as a matter of fact It Is Impossible for even intelligent, reading people to keep in- j formed on statutory laws, such as hunt ing licenses, the regulation of dove-bait- j lug and things of^fhat kind. . In under taking to educate the people as to what the luw is, and why, Mr. Haile and Mr. (iibbes are taking a course which should go a long ways to make enforcement of the game laws in Kershaw .Coiinty as nearly automatic -as that is possible. They are building up a. sentiment which will be of more aid to ^heir work tfyan any authority which they may have through the Courts. The advertisement in The Chronicle is in itself u model of persuasive argument Its publication is an evidence of true constructive effort in the carrying out of a broad and important public policy which depends upon public opinion for its prosperity.? -Charleston News and Courier. . ? . ...
