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.
