With the passage of the amend

first woman in Cleveland county

This amendment which fully
equalizes the rights of men and

from 1850 precincts in North
Carolina showed 1888 in favor
and 1878 opposed.

GIG votes, an unofficial compila.

today.
Returns from all of the 1929
precincts in the state showed that
a total of 143,014 voters favored
the amendment and 143,930 op.
posed it.
Women served on juries in
some counties in the State some
years ago until a case was con-
tested which was tried with one
woman on the jury. And because
of the word lawful men" desig-
mating jurors, the high courts
held it illegal for women to serve
in this capacity. The last gem
eral assembly put the proposed
change to lawful persons" in an
amendment to. be- spbrnitt@asso "

amendment which was approved
by. the voters on November 5.

while official figures for the en-.
