VOTERS WHO HELPED SEIZE COURTHOUSE WAIT AT WINDOW. READY FOR ACTION WITH SHOTGUN AND CARBINE
POLK COUNTY DRAWS ITS GUNS
Tennessee voters seize courthouse in outbreak of a bitter political feud
The voters of Polk County, down in the mountains of Tennessee, hard by the Georgia border, were toting their guns again last month. A political feud which had erupted periodically since 1946 had worn mountain tempers thin. Three hundred men, many of them armed, seized the courthouse at Benton, poked rifles from the upstairs windows and placed pistol-packing guards at the doors to keep the local officials out."There’ll be no court today," warned a guard grimly. The armed men were members of the Good Government League, which had come into power five years ago as a reform party and had managed to hold off the local Democratic machine until this winter. Then some technical maneuvering in the state legislature had given the machine control of the county court, a nonjudicial body which administers the county. In 1948 an outbreak of the feud killed three men. This time, as of last week, nobody had been shot.
BACK-COUNTRY VOTERS were met by league man (right) as they arrived in Benton for mass meeting. They threatened to secede from state unless county gets "home rule."
