How the Counties Vote. Up to the hour of closing the (ole ograph office last night. The News heard from the following counties In the state: For Terrell—-Oconee, Jasper, Quit man, Fulton, Walker, Erwin, Pickens Butts, Spaulding, Echolls.

A telegram received jusst at the closing hour which stated that 73 counties had been heard from of which Terrell carried 53. ft seems that the north Georgia can didate carried every doubtful county in the state, and even won in a num ber which were not at all thought to be for him.

CANDIDATES RUN ‘ S CLOSE RACE 1 MERIWETHER COUNTY CANDI DATE SWEEPS THE STATE IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY FOR GOVERNORSHIP. CARRIED NEARLY Ai-L THE DOUBTFUL COUNTIES IN THE STATE AND GOT MANY HE DID NOT EXPECT. How It Looks. That Estili will carry ttoe county by a very small majoritty.

News was received from only two precincts last night, St. Simon and Sterling, at the l former 15 votes -were polled for Estill; Sterling only cast. 0 voti*. 5 for Terrell ami 1 for Estill. In the race for judge of the Bruns wick circuit Judge Parker led by a sufficient number of votes to insure his victory in the county. Stevens for commissioner of agricul ture, Eason for state Softool commis sioner will also carry the county. The final result in the gubernatorial race will hardly lie known until the votes of the county are consolidated today. The primary in Glynn county yes terday for me selection of state house officers and a judge of the Brunswick ■irenit was a very notly contested, though good natured one, and not the 'cast bitterness was noticed at the polls Tue supporters oi the different candidates worked hard all day for t'neir favorites, and were claiming u victory all the time. The greatest interest, of course, wae centered on the gubernatorial race al though there was muc'n interest taken in the contest for judge of the Bruns wick circuit, commissioner of agricul ture, prison commissioner and state school commissioner. Tnc friends of Col. Estill seemed to be more confident than the supporters of Cos! Terrell, although they worked hard all day. The result in all of the contests was only gneiss work until the last ballot is counted and the final result announced by the judges. A large crowd of citizens gathered around the polls last night and kept a tally sheet of their own in one or two of the contests. Tho number of votes received by Mr. Guerry surprised both the friends of Estill and Terell. It was not thought that the prohibitionists candi date would receive over 50 or 75 votes, but for a while last night, dur. ing the count, it looked as though he was running very near e-ven with the other two candidates.
