S.ieptierd, a resident of Liberty county, but whose law office Is In Sa vannah, Is running a phenomenal race for congress from the First district for the long term to succeed the late Kufus E. Lester. Some, time ago Savannah had tacitly decided to be "hands off” In the race, and 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 quietly disappeared from his accustomed haunts, and. began a still hunt.

Voting opened up briskly at the fourth ward polls Wednesday morning, and within the first hour and a half 200 ba'lo** were cast The city and coun*: voting places were about 60 yarl« apart, and the intervening space w°s filled with heelers of the various candidates. One energetic partisan had the name of his 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 his vote In the waYd 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. 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.

The treasurer and coundlmanlc races are still uncertain. Through the Fifth the dove^ of peace has been hovering all day. been no fighting and only cne "cussing" mati*h within earshot of the oolls. This feature and the belief that there will be a record-breaking vote cast are being talked of widely. It has been estimated that between 1,000 and 1,250 of the possible 1,387 voters registered will visit the polls. The gubernatorial rate was settled In the minds of most of those who kept close to the polls about noon, and since that time the chief topic of conversa tion has been the mayorallty race. Much monev has been flashed on both sloes. 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 vote up to 2:30 o’clock, 985. State and county vote up to 2:30 o'clock, 974.

PL _ With the smallest registration of any There has 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 spill between Howell and Smith. Joy ner Is leading *or 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 was practically ull In at 2:15 o’clock, the polls closing at 3. Total registration In the county Is 2,645. The total vote, however, will not reach 2,000.
