" -Sheriff-- R. B.- Lane 'and Treasurer,
BB. Hurst -had no opposition and .se
cured practically -the full vote There

:.: J. Heath and M, D. Lane, had re
ceived "the : largest number of - vote
: Ex-Sheriff Biddle from thw" township
' secured ft -number' of jrotes - but not
- enough to secure victory. '
For ' the ' Hotet' ' GfV.' Richardson

a." While the returns from all parts of
: the Third District were not accurately
" giv last night, they wer such as to
make the friends of HoV" Charles R
- Thomas believe " that , he -had won a
' victory over --the other -candidates.
In New .Bern (where Ex-JudgeGuion's
supporters claimed a majority of nine
r.ty per' cent) tiie-; vote was as follows:

'.Vv From this i can be seen that Mh
' Thomas -' threw a -surprise info.those
who were predicting his overwhelming
defeat in the city. - ' T ; - t
' Practically the- same condition - pre--vailed
all over the county. At ;' ; Dover
' the vote wasas follows:' " s., ,; .

and ;Mi. Hood, giving the former the
largest number of first choice votes.
Mr. Guion also polled a number of
votes in that county," the majority of
these being forthird choice. It is
generally? conceded that Mr. Thomas
will lead ' air of the other candidates
itt that county by a large majority.
Onslow County
"No official returns of the count
mac'r in Onslow county were received
in : ..Nw Bern but several telephone
messages - rom Jacksonville to the
Journal, stated that Thomas in that
county would receive a large majority.
C . ' Duplin County
'''lit Duplin county. Congressman Fai-sonY-
home, lie . received ja majority
of tne first choice votes In a number of
the, precincts is- likely that he
will divide; the couotyVfth 'Faison. "
i Pender 'County
he. fallowing teL'gram received by
the 7 Journal : last night from Pender
County, shows how that county went;
"Mc Thomas 'made a clean sweep in
Pender county. Ninety per cent of
the "first choice' votes went to . him.
Every precinct gave him the first
choice." j :
"" Jones County
Returnsjfrom Jones county indicate
that the vote is considerably divided
arrtoun all candidates with Mr. Thomas
and White in the lead. . At Maysville
Thomas ' received a large first choice
vote.
: Sdmpson County
Nothing was heard from. Sampson
county, but Mr. Thomas is expecting
to-secure a' number .of votes there,
both first and , second choice.
, ' Wayne County
. No definite information was received
from . Wayne county; but incomplete
returns show that Hood f leads with
Thomas second, , ,
- - i,f,. .. ' - 4(,
: Interest in the Congressional - race
all over the district was at . fever heat.
Hundreds of calls from Onslow, Car
teret, Pailtlico, and Jones ' county,
came into the Journal office last night
while two telephones were kept busy
answering the questions of thoseper
sons in the city who are interested in
the fight. - ' - ' '
Before night and in fact all during
the day the constituents of the various
candidates were hard at work and the
vote polled here was targe. It seemed
ito be the general concensus of opinion
that r Mr. Thomas, would lead in the
d istrict and bets of tluV effect were
freely made during the day. '
The exact result of. the primary will
not be known for several days but
the Journal feels safe in assuring, its
readers that Mr, Thomas leads all oyer
the district with Mr.' Hood a close
second.
