4 hoUeSOH county. 1tODcSOn Will PROBABLY
| give Simmons four or five hundred ma
| jority, if not more. Blue Springs and
! Red Springs townships will give Sim
mons large majority, Lumberton will
also go in favor of Simmons The voting
| in the other townships will be close ex-
cept in Maxton in which Simmons will
not get more than twenty-five votes. Carr
has some enthusiastic supporters in the
| county and some of them claim the coun-
ty for him by a small majority but con-
| servative Carr men concede the county
| to Simmons. The Democratic Croatan
! element of the county is divided. and
| friends of both candidates have lately
| done considerable work among them 1t
| is impossible to form an intelligent esti-
| mate of how their vote will be divided
Lumberton, n. c., Nov. 5.-Carr and
| Simmons men both claim the county One
| Carr man says his majority will reach
| 1000, while one Simmons man predicts
| / 500 for his man.
MARTIN.
Williamson, N. c.. Nov. 5.-The cam
| paign in Martin county has been unusu-
ally quiet. small vote will be polled.
The county is safe for Bryan and Steven
| son by six to seven hundred majority.
Small, for Congress, will receive about
| the same vote. The Senatorial contest
received new interest by the visit of
| General Carr to our town last week But
the general opinion is that Mr. Simmons
will receive about two thirds of the votes
| in the primaries.
HALIFAX.
| Weldon, n. c.. Nov 5.-The close of
/ hn n0lY,n nierN EVdz IIo1;f
for Bryan and Kitchin by 1900 to 1000
/ majority. and it is safe to say that
Kitchin will be elected to Congress by a
safe majority. There has been absolute
ly no enthusiasm for the Republican can
didate for Congress in the Second Dis
trict, and the negroes of Halifax county
are taking no interest whatever in the
election.
The canvass for Senator has been ac-
lively pushed by the friends of both Carr
and Simmons. Chairman Travis claims
the county for Simmons, while on the
otherl rand the friends of General Carr
confidently expect to carry Halifax
county for their favorite. / have studied
we'll the relative strength of the two can
| didates, and believe that the vote in this
county will be very close, and that it is
!
which of the two candidates will receive
majority in the primary in Halifax
county.
PERQUIMANS.
Hertford, n. c., Nov 5-Bryan and
Stevenson will carry this county by 150
majority and Small will receive about the
same vote. f. NJ. Simmons is Perqui-
mans choice for the Senate and his cleo
! tion will be by q large majority AS
| the campaign drawns to it's close the peo-
pie are becoming more interested in the
result of the election. and Hon. T. G..
Skinner and others are working hard for
the success of Democracy and much more
will be done on the day of election.
FORSYTH.
Winston-S Salem, ~ c., Nov 5.-The
campaign closed tonight with both Con-
gressional candidates confident of cleo
| tion. Mr. j. c. Buxton, Democrat, esti-
mates his majority will be from 1000 to
1000 Mr.. Blackburn, Republican, is
claiming over 1000. Opinion generally is
that the winning man will have a small
majority.
Democrats and Republicans say it has
been the quietest campaign they have
| ever passed through.
1t looks like State Chairman Simmons
will carry the county for the United
States Senate by at least 900 majority
His friends are claiming 1,5CO.
fIARNETT.
Dunn, N. c., Nov. 5.-The conditions in
Harnett, at the close of the campaign
are as favorable for the success of our
| ticket tnmOrrOW q c ha Tho
registration has not materially changed
since the August election. All the Demo-
! Gratis of the August campaign remain
true, while we expect accessions from
the Populists. Several of them will not
vote for the Democratic electors from
choice, while not few will vote the en-
tire ticket in order to qualify themselves
to vote for their favorite in the Sena-
torial race.
The Senatorial campaign has been
quite spirited in this county and will
help to bring out full vote of the party
The friends of Mr. Simmons claim the
county by majority of 300, while the
ardent supporters of General Carr claim
the county for their candidate, though
they admit that the vote will be close.
NASH
Rocky Mount, N. c.. Nov 5.-With the
closing of the last week before election
the Democrats of Nash and Edgecombe
are confident of carrying those two coun-
ties for Pou and Kitchin respectively. Pou
will carry Nash by from 500 to 800. Kitch-
in will probably carry Edgecombe by from
1000 to 1,500. Populist and Republicans
manifest little interest. Many, it is
thought will vote the Democratic national
and Congression ticket so as to qualify
themselves for vote in the Senatorial
contest in which most of their interest
is centered.
AS between Simmons and Carr the lines
are more tightly drawn. The adherents
of both claim the county, but it now looks
like Simmons will carry both Nash and
edgecombe
GUILFORD.
Greensboro, N. c.. Nov 5.-The cam
paign in Guilford has been exceedingly
quiet. With the exception of the Sena-
torial contest scarcely any interest has
