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. Farter. No trouble of any kind had been re jected ut the polling places up until 2:30 o'clock. Goodwin was conceded to have had the advantage earlier In the day, but at this hour the Joyner men claim that their candidate is running neck and neck with Goodwin and will carry the ward. Both I)r. B. E. Pearce and M. M. Turner claim to be In the lead for councilman. Hdke Smith Is enslly far In the lead for 1 he governorship and will probably get three votes to Howell’s 1. FIFTH WARD.
