new REGISTRATION
Two Precincts Are ConsOli-
dated And Burgaw Town
ship Is Divided

BURGAW, April 9.-The Pender
county board of elections met here
Saturday and in addition to order
ing a complete new registration
for every township in the county,
consolidated two of the smaller
precincts. Those consolidated were
lower Caswell with upper Caswell
whose voting precinct is Atkinson,
and lower Holly with Rocky Point.
The board also divided Burgaw
township into two precincts to be
known as upper Burgaw and lower
Burgaw. The need for this has been
apparent for some time since the
single precinct has grown in re-
cent years to where the task of
counting the ballots on election
nights was a most arduous one,
the entire night being consumed
in completing the job.
The dividing line for upper and
lower Burgaw precincts will be
highway No. SO beginning at Smiths
creek bridge and extending across
the township to the western town
ship line some two miles east OF
Wards corner. All electors living
on the north side Of this highway
in the township will vote at a
precinct to be located in the Bur
gaw community house. Electors liv-
ing on the south side Of this line
will vote in booths provided in the
court house as formerly.
The following named election Of
ficials were appointed by the board
to conduct the forthcoming pri-
maries and elections:
