Must Display
Certificate
At a meeting of the County
Democratic Executive Committee
last Thursday it was stated that
in order to vote it will be neces
sary for the voter to produce his
registration certificate.
The law requiring a registra-
tio certificate was enacted in
1950. As this law was passed so
near the time for the 1950 pri
mary election it w r as agreed that
a person could vote at that pri
mary provided his name was on
the registration book, but there
after he must produce a registra
tion certificate to vote. This
meant the 1952 primary election
and all future elections.
A registration certificate is
therefore a prerequisite for voting
in the July 22, 1952 primary.
The committee approved a rec
ommendation to pay the election
managers five dollars per day.

Education Gets Largest Share Of S, C.
Tax Dollar; Income From Vehicles High
The biggest part of the tax
payer’s dollar in South Carolina
goes for education.
This was the conclusion reach
ed by the Charleston District Of
fice of the U. S. Department of
Commerce after a study of a final
report of the Bureau of Census

es for the fiscal year 1951.
According to C. W. Martin,
Commerce Department district
manager, who made the study, of
a total of $159,479,000 expended
by South Carolina, $56,064,000
went for educational purposes, or
about 36c on every dollar.
Highways took the next largest
slice of the dollar with an ex
penditure in South Carolina of
$36,997,000, or 24c on every dol
lar.
The public payroll, or “general
control” as it is known in Census
Bureau parlance, which is defined
as “the legislative and judicial
branches of the government, of
fice of the chief executive, auxili-
plus the fuel used brought in a
total of $37,449,000, or about < 36c
on every dollar paid in. -
South Carolina collected a sum
ary agencies and staff services on alcoholic beverage sales in the
