The largest negro vote is in Wake, 4,085. The smallest in Graham, 6. With honest eleclions the negro can control thirteen counties, and with a desertion of 150 white meu from the white race they can control twelve more counties. There are at least ten more in danger of negro domination with a division of the white vote. This makes thirty-three G Dunties in the State sadly in need of the amendment. We give'tho above fasts without comment, and ask the reader to con sider them and vote accordingly.
