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

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.

Help Askedfor the Library..
The library committee of the <
Kingstree Civic and Library aseocia- i
tion wishes to 13k the co-operation j i
of the people of this town and coun-! i
ty in making a selection' of books :
first to be put on the selves of the i
new Carnegie library. The commit- i
tee is expensing time and thought i
on this matter and is being guided
by expert advice in bulletins and I
catalogs of various kinds. 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. It j
is hoped that many will feel inter-1
ested enough to submit suggestive !
lists within the next few days as
the books are now being ordered
and it is the hope and expectation of
all concerned that the library will!
be opend in June.
