Voting opened up briskly at the fourth ward polls Wednesday morning, and wlthjn the firat hour and a half 200 ballots were cant. The city and county voting places were about 60 yards apart, and the Intervening apace was filled with heelers of the various candidates. One energetic partisan had the name of his favorite on the Idest part of a broom In boxcar let* tern, and waved It at each approach ing voter. The first man to cast, his vote In the ward for state and county officers was H. Lewis, and for city officials was Hugh D. Carter. No trouble of any kind had been re ported at the polling places up until 2:30 o’clock.

The gubernatorial race was settled in the minds «»f most of those who kept close to the polls about noon, and since thht time the chief topic of conversa tion has been the mayoralty race. Much montv has been flashed >n both slues. Bets that Joyner would carry the city were refused, and the Joyner men refused money that Good win would carry three or more wards. It Is believed that Smith will poll three votes to Howell’s one. SIXTH WARD. Registration, 1,648. City vots up to 2:30 o’clock, 985. State and 'county vote up to 2:30 o'clock, 974.

EIGHTH WARD. Registration, 401. City vote up to 2:30 o'clock, 298. State and county vote up to 2:30 o’clock, 310. The Eighth Is taking It serenely. With the smallest registration of any There haa ward In the city, the voters go quietly 'up, cast thelr^bailor and go away to business. % Very few workers or hang ers-on were about. At'this hour It looks like a practical spilt ibetween Howell and Smith. Joy ner Is lending fo/* mayor, and the vote for county treasurer is so divided that no one can tell who Is leading. Indications are that almost the en tire registered vote will be polled. IN THE COUNTY. In the county districts the vote practically all In at 2:16 o’clock, polls closing at 3.
