On August 20th, 1952, The Grand
Jury of the Superior Court of
Polk County was presented with
a report stating the voting con
ditions of the Tryon Precinct. It
was pointed out that there is an
unusually heavy registration in this
precinct and that it is very diffi

to vote in one voting place without
placing a heavy burden on the
voter who would have to stand in
line and on the officials who would
spend many hours of counting
after the polling was over. In view
of these conditions, we asked the
Grand Jury to make recommenda

than one precinct.

need for Tryon Townshio to be
divided into more than one pre
cinct and recommended to the
Election Chairman that a division
be made as soon after the General
Election of November, 1952, as
possible.
We take heart in this recom
mendation made by the ' Grand
Jury and will welcome this division
in the near future. However, we
believe that the time to make a
division in a precinct (which
necessitates a new registration)
is immediately before an election,
and not after . (The last regis
tration for voting in the Tryon
Precinct was in 1940). We be
lieve that it is in the public inter

tration is when the public is inter
ested in a forthcoming election.
This new registration would not
work a hardship on any service
man or other absentee voter be
cause they would remain on the
