Reliable advtcea come from Savan nah Wednesday that Colonel Walter W. Shepherd, a resident of Liberty county, but whoae law ofilce la In Su vannah, Is running a phenomenal race for congress from the First district for the long term to succeed the late Rufus E. Lester. Some time ago Savannah had tacitly decided to be "hands off" In the race, .ml It was generally understood that J, A. Brannen, a prominent attorney of Statesboro, would be given the long term. Colonel Shepherd did not say any thing, but ijulctly disappeared from his accustomed haunts, and began a Mill hunt. He worked quietly but ef fectively, It seems, through the ten counties of the First district. According to the advices coming to Atlanta Wednesday, the Liberty county man Is polling a remarkable vote, with splendid chances of receiving the nom ination for the long term. Colonel Shepherd was one term In the state senate from that district, and he also served for some years as Colonel Les ter's private secretary. He Is about 35 tears of age, and said to be an aggres- slt e, capable young man. Colonel William Clifton, "the llberty- lovlng cltlsen from McIntosh," seems pretty sure of receiving the nomina tion for the unexplred term, ending on March 4, 1607.

Voting opened up briskly at the fourth ward polls Wednesday morning, and within the first hour and a half 200 ballots were cast. The city and county voting places were about yards apart, and the Intervening space was filled with heelers of the various candidates. One .energetic partisan had the name of hls favorite on the widest part of a broom In* boxcar let ters, and waved It at each approach ing voter. The first man to cast hls vote in the ward for state and county officers was H. Howto, 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.

JAME8 M. 8MITH, OF SMITHONfA, Candidate for Governor. been no fighting and only cne “cussing” match within earshot of the noils. This feature and the belief that there will be a record-breaking vote cast are being talked of widely. It has been estimated tfiat betve.'n 1,000 and 1,250 of the possible 1,337 voters registered will visit the polls. The gubernatorial race was settled in the minds c: most of those who kept close to the polls about noon, and since that time the chief topic of conversa tion has been the mayoralty race. Much -monev 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 c arry three or more wards. It is believed that Smith will poll three votes to Howell’s one. SIXTH WARD. Registration, 1,648. City vote Qp to 2:30 o’clock. 985. State end county* vote up to 2:30 o'olock, 974.

EIGHTH WARD. Registration, 401. City vote up to 2:30 o'clock, 298. State and county voto up to 2:30 o’clock, 310. The Eighth Is taking It serenely. With the, smallest registration of any ward In the city, the voters go quietly up, cast their ballot and go away to business. Very few workers or hang ers-on were about. At this hour It looks like a practical split between Howell and Smith. Joy ner to leading for mayor, and the vote for oounty treasurer to so divided that no one can tell who is leading.
