“Any person within this State dealing in crossties shall keep a book of record which shall be open to the public and in which shall be legibly written the name of the party or parties from whom crossties are purchased, the number of crossties purchased and the lands or premises from which such crossties are cut or harvested.”
“Any person violating the terms of this section shall be subject to a fine of twenty-five dollars for each offense.”
“HISTORY: 1962 Code”
The earliest year in this note is 1962. That's the earliest year the note prints. It doesn't establish when this wording was enacted, took effect or first appeared.
Our reading
Anyone in South Carolina who deals in crossties has to keep a legible record book showing who sold them the ties, how many, and which land they were cut from. The book has to be open to the public, and each violation carries a twenty-five dollar fine.
