Very little interest is manifested by either party, notably by the white Repub licans, who show a dis:-osition to abstain from voting. At the country precincts some, white Republicans have voted for Kitchin. The negroes in this county seem to be well under the discipline of their white leaders and as a result the negro vote goes for Harris. O'Hara-may get-five hundred votes in the county, but it is doubtful. Here at Goldsboro precinct the negro vote is j solid for Harris, O'Hara having received but three votes so far. The country precincts are more or . less divided. It is thought that the vote will fall short of the August vote,;especially the . negro vote. . Present indications lead us to hope that- Capt. Kitchin will have a majority of about 1,600 in Wayne over O'Hara. The white Republicans here concede' Kitchin's election, but all depends! upon the strength Harris will develop in Craven, Warren, Halifax, Wilson and Northampton.
