Kings Mountain
Foi Amendments
Kings Mountain township vot
ers went to the polls in heavy
numbers Saturday and put a hea
vy stamp of approval on the pro
posed Pearsall Plan legislation
for public schools, as well as oth,
ter amendments to the North
Carolina Constitution.
Kings Mountain township thus
joined Cleveland County and the
state in approving each of the
four proposals.
The voting here was conducted
without fanfare, but the voting
was consistent throughout the
day.
The total township vote of
1822 represented about 19 per
cent of the county total and was
only slightly shy of the totals
cast in the May and June Demo
cratic primarites.
Chief interest was shown in the
Pearsall plan, with 1562 persons
favoring the amendment, while
232 opposed. The margin in Kings
Mountain prectencts approximated
6 to 1, at Grover 20 to 1, and at
Bethware 10 to 1.
Though the Pearsall Plan a
mendment concerned continuing
segregation in the public schools,
few Negroes appeared at the
polls. Only seven voted at West
Kings Mountain, only five at East
Kings Mountain.
The state-wide vote exceeded
600,000 and favored the Pearsall
legislation about 4 to 1.
Least favored locally among
the other amendments was the
one raising pay of members of
the Genteral Assembly, favored
byll33 township citizens, and dis
favored by 412.
The township favored changing
the date for convening of the
General Assembly from January
to February by 1278 to 251.
The township favored the a
mendment to allow husbands to
convey powers of attorney to
their wives by 1385 to 188.
Kings Mountain counting was
completed by 8:30.
In early brickmaking, straw
was thought to be necessary as
a binder in mixing the clay hence
the Biblical reference to “Bricks
without straw.”
