TOLLEY A R.K.WALLACE Publishers. Thursday, April 19,1917. Have Your Car Registered. A State law provides that on and after the first of July that any per son who drives an unregistered or unlicensed motor vehicle on, or along, or across any public road, or street, or highway in the State of South Carolina, shall be deemed guility of * misdemeanor and be punished bv a fine of not more than $25.00, or imprisonment for not more than 15 days for each and every offense. , In view of the fact that only about one-half of the automobile owners in this county have registered their cars under the old law we call the attention of all motor vehicle owners to a communication in this paper by State Highway Engineer J Roy Pennell which sets forth the facts on the subject. Application blanks for the registration of cars can be obtained from Mr Jno D Brit ton at the Clerk of Court's office, which will save ownere of care the trouble of writing to the State Highway Engineer for them. It should also be remembered that 85 per cent of the registration tax on evdry motor vehicle in Williamsburg is turned into the county's road fund and will be used in the ?i? * i i_:_i upibwp ui ncx uiKiiwajr^ South Carolina and the South in general has probably never before faced a more serious food problem. The fact that flour is $13.00 per barrel, corn meal $2.00 per bushel and butt meat 20c a pound should be argument enough to induce every family in the South to plant a gari den and raise a pig. The serious- , ness of the situation is already im- 1 pressing itself upon the people of ! J Kingstree and Williamsburg county, i / ===== ] When a proclamation is sent out by a great organization claiming j that the South "is a menace to the ] Nation's safety," because of having J o draw heavily on the North and ( West for foodstuffs that should be produced in her own fields," is it ' not high time for the Southern peo- I pie, Southern farmers especially, to come out of their lethargy and get a move on themselves that will guarantee the Nation's safety rather ' than be a "menace" to it as charged by the South Carolina Commission for Civic Preparedness. During the past week the editor of The Record had occasion to travel over about seventy or eighty miles of Williamsburg's public roads and such a shaking up we have never experienced before. Our trips from Kingstree to the Georgetown county line and to the Florence county line are like hideous nightmares, and if these roads are now in fair condition, as we have heard them claimed to be. then we are gratful for the fact that we never had occasion to travel them when in a wore condition than they now are. The school children of Garnett have decided that they must help their country in this time of need. At the suggestion of the principal, a "feed yourself" club has been organized, and each child will try to raise enough food to support him for one year. They will plant corn, beans,peas, potatoes and other vegetables. The school gardens are now planted in beans. As soon as these mature, a second crop will be planted from these Iseed. Some of the children will raise pigs and others poultry. They are very enthusiastic. of fho hnvs will nlantseven All 11 3UIU^ V* v*?v r or eight acres of corn. * * OUR FIELD DAY PRIZE WINNERS.

In order ! to suit the popular taste, however, i the committe asks any one who has 1 any books of any suitable character 1 whatever, which he or she is anxious I to see in the library, to submit a list of such books to any member of the committee. As books are expensive and not more than $400.00 can be , expended on books this year, it cannot be promised that all such re t- J - J U.,4 quests can De auceueu lu, um pvyu- j lar demands will asssuredly have i weight in the selection of books.
