TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1923.
Lingering in the lap of
Spring thisaway old Winter
certainly has got himself
talked about.
"Am I registered?" is a ques
tion for every voter to be sure
he or she can answer in the af
firmative by May 5th. The wo
men especially, being compara
tively new voters, are warned
not to take it for granted that
because they have registered
once they arc registered for this
election. Different sets of books
are kept for city, County, State
and National elections.
The idea that Federal money
distributed to counties for aid in
road building or in other mat
ters is a gift is, as former Sen
ator Townsend says, quite too
prevalent. And the same thing
is true, to a lesser degree of
course, of funds from the State
to the counties. All such moneys
come out of the taxpayer's own
pocket and he will do . well to
bear this fact in mind.
"The greatest enemy of good
roads is the motor truck," is a
timely phrase that The Advance
culls out of all thegood roads
oratory at Greenville, South
Carolina, today and sets out as
worthy of special emphasis.
The suggestion that motor-truck
licenses should be materially in
creased might also be well taken.
Experience in this County indi
cates that there are trucks in use
in the section which ought to be
debarred from the paved roads
altogether.
