It is known that the company contemplates the extension of the line to Jones county and have in fact asked permi s on from the county to run. their track on the bridge over Trent river.

Hood Follows Thomas Interest in Saturdav'i primary fir the selection of a candidate for Con gress is still al fever heal. Riturns fr.mi the District art in complete and come in slowly 01 ac", count .if the form of the preferenti.il ball.it, but the neutral results from all information received shows that ' the race is between Thomas and Hood, ' with Thomas far in the lead. i In ( raven county, the .New Hern afternoon paper admits that Thoma.. ' received 62.? votes, firsi choice with' four precincts to hear from. There are errors in this count anil this vole is increased. It is safe to say that Thomas' hr-t choice vol..- in ("raven will lie about 700. In one of tl missing precincts at I North Marlowe, Thomas received a! count of 24 Votes. At I'leara t Hill! he ran ahead. Pender County The following telegram was received by the Journal from Burgaw: I "Hon. Charles K. Thomas makes clean sweep in Pender county over alii other candidates combined. Pender i county gives Tomas six hundred and fifty first choice votes, all others com-1 billed three hundred and twenty-1 five. Light second vote Burgaw gives i gives Thomas one hundred and thirty Fai.,on thirty five, all others combined forty-eight." Onslow County. Information received from this coun ty by wire and telephone indicates that Thomas has received a large majority in Onslow. His vol;- will be much larger than all the candidates combined. Ksti mated his vote in this county is at !( first choice. This will - ii 500 by second choice votes. At Swansboro, Dr. R. A. Daniels, and K. B. Pitt man state thai Thomas received 100 first choice votes out of 120. Mr. H. C. Canaday, Secretary of th;1 Damocratic Executive Committee ver ifies the above as correct. Mr. Thomas has always been popular and strong in this county. Duplin County. In this county Mr. Thomas has also been very p.ipular. He has undoubt edly received second choice on Faisons ballots throughout the county. Be sides he has received a large number of first choice votes. Telegrams received by the Journal say that liwer end of Duplin county gives Thomas first choice. The following wire was received from Wallace: Vote Wallace Precinct Faison sixty-two, I nomas Seventy-three. Is land Creek Precinct: Faison twelve, Thomas ten, Wallace fifteen, YVillard Precinct: Faison twenty, Hood five, Thomas thirty-four. Also the following from Warsaw: "Warsaw gives Faison 114, Thomas 29." These first choice votes out of four precincts total 146 votes, far in excess of any estimate of the afternoon paper of yesterday. Hon. Charles R. Thomas also re ceived the following telegram from Duplin county: "Accept my sincere congratulations your great success securing nomina tion Congress." X , ' .! v - E. McNair Carr fr Jonea County.

M lW.i Returns from Trenton show Thomas received between 40 and 50 votes. - At Pollocksville,' reports show that Thomas was generally 1 voted for as second choice and these will come to hWs credit.

East Ward's Creek gave Thomas- solid vote first choice about 30, Wir? Grass 19 out of 22 for Thomas. At Straits, Thomas led on first choice votes. At Hull Swamp, Wild wood, the vote was Faison 13 first choi ce, Thomas 12 first choice, Wallace 8 first choice, Hood 1 firjt choice, Guion 2 stond choice. Wayne County The vote in this county is lighter tian reported: at Mr. Olive the usual vote is 500, and only 225 were cast. An analysis of returns would indi cate that Thomas' vote in Craven, Onslow, Pender, Sampson and Pamlio. first choice, will largely exceed Hoods' first choice vote in Wayne, Sampsoir and Pamlico, leaving Thomas a good majority to which will be added his first and second choice vote in Duplin Jones and Carterat, making his nomi nation beyond doubt.
