ESCAMBIA.
Three to Four Hundred Majority.
for Jelks.


Rrewton, Aug. 23.-(Special)-The cam
paign is drawing to a close in this coun-
ty, and while it has not been as active
as some thought 1t would be, still there
has been enough interest to cause friends
of the different candidates to be vigilant.
and nut in good ticks for their favortes
at every turn.
Escambia can be depended on to give
Governor Jelks from 800 to 400 majority.
1t is not thought that more than 800 votes
will be polled in the primary next Mon
day, from the fact that so little interest
is being taken by the people in the cleo
ton.
Johnston will get a good sprinkling of
ballots at former Populst strongholds.
Ex-Representative Henley Is using his
influence for the Ex-Governor. There are
less than dozen avowed Johnston men
In Brewton, and it is surprising to learn
what a strong following Governor jerks
has in the country precincts.
The race for representative is between
Norvelle r. Leigh, Jr., who so ably rep
resented this county in the constitutional
Convention, and T. Sumter Soweu. one
of Escambia's Oldest and most honored
citizens. Mr.. Sowell served as a mem
Der of the lower house during the lS5o-I
session of the Legislature
Both of the candidates stand on the
same platform Each favors the election
of the Railroad Commission by the peo-
ule. is for Senator Pettus to succeed him
self, and they are enthusiastic Jelks men
This will be close race, as each of the
gentlemen has many friends all over the
county, and as they stand together, the
voters will choose between the candidates,
in many instances, on personal grounds.
w. S. Neal, for County Superintendent
of Education, has no opposition.

which, aboard this ship and among thu

theory was advanced. and was later res
jectsd on the grounds that no man knows
better than does Commander rsllsbuyN
the waiting qualities of the Yanasee aatt
oss, and It Is considered exceedingly trne
probable that he will attempt such y
move.
It was advanced that the commande4
of the white squadron would attempt to
capture one Of the defending squadrcn,a
vessels and thus weaken AdmAral Hig~
ginson's line of defense. Much commend
was heard on an sides on this point bun
fears were relieved this morning when 9
report made to tho Admiral showed that
not a vessel was missing.
What made the situation more compii-
Gated today is the fact that calculations
as to Commander Pillsbury's game have
so far been found wide of fact.
The appearance of the cruisers Brook
lyn and Olympia away out to sea today
caused much excitement aboard this ship
on which everything was In readiness for
instant departure. Captain Hemphiii. ex-
ecutiye officer Wood, Admiral Higginscn
ana Flag Lieutenant Evans. were all on
the bridge. The anchor chain was ORDER
cd shortened to thirty fathofns. Every
body on duty went to his post and the
signal faiyards were kept busy with the
sending of messages which could not be
read by the Brooklyn.
The Biddle went off short at 25-knot
clip. and arriving within easy challeng-
ing distance of the Brooklyn, the latter
reported no news, which answer was
quickly brought back to Admiral Higgin-
SON. 1t was not long after this that the
