past laurels. Not much over half a Vote
Will be poiled here.
Reports from Amelia county, the home
OF Messrs. Southall, Democratic nomi-
nee. and Vaughan. independent. are to
the effect that much activity has been
displayed during the past few days, and
{, full vote@is expected there.
Mr.. Vaughan will get few votes in
ls;his county some from his personal pop
ularity and others from political rea-
sons.
