SOUTHALL THE NOMINEE
Figures Official and Estimated Give
Him Forty three Majority.
fSnecial Disnatch to The Tinesl

PETERSBURG, VA. July l9.-The re-
turns at midnight tonight indicate that
+. G.. Southall, of Amelia county, has re-
ceived the nomination, and will repre-
sent the Fourth Virginia District in the
F'ifty-eighth Congress.
Lassiter and his friends claim the nomt-
nation by a majority of 125, but the latest
returns undoubtedly show that whoever
receives the nomination will get but a
small majority.
With one precinct in Mecklenburg coun-
ty to be heard from, three in Dnwiddie
county, one in Prince George county. one
in Brunswick county and with Lassitel's
majority in Lunenburg, estimated at 49,
the vote is: Southall, 1.2S3; Lassiter, ,275
1t is thought by Southalls friends that
the precinct in Brunswick county, not
yet heard from, will give Southall a
small majority. They also claim on the
assurance of Thomas N. Williams, former
Senator from Mecklenburg, that Smiths
Cross Roads, the one unreported precinct
in that county, will increase Southalis
majority. They think Brandon precinct,
in Prince George viii! be very close and
will probably give Southall a small ma
icrity. In Lunenburg, they do not think
Major Lassiters majority will exceed 50.
In Dinwiddie county, Rocky Run precinct
is reported to be tie. Westboro precinct,
it is thought, will give Southall ma
icrity OF five, and Ritchieville, a MAORI
tv of ten The result based on these re-
turns and estimates will give Southall
amajority of forty-th-ee in the district,
not including the one unreported precinct
in Brunswick. Smiths Cross Roads in
N1ecklenburg, and Brandon. in Prince
George, which are claimed by Southalls
friends. Major Iassiter is still confident
of winning the nomination. and his es-
innate tonight is that he was carried
the district by a majority of i25. The
vote is:
Sou1naIl--Amena, ID; Powhatan. lou;
Prince Edward. BIS; Brunswick. Zone pre-
cinct to hear FROM, l6; Nottoway. 1903;

THE CRY OF FRAUD

Which to Make Return.

PETERSBURG. VA. July 1s.-1ne In
dex-Appeal, which strongly supported
l.assiter during his campaign, in speaking
of the criticisms of the delay In the re-
turns and the intimation of fraud. will
say in an editorial tomorrow:
To that class of persons disposed to
see evil in what they do net understand
and to put q bad construction on the de-
lay of the returns from the recent pri-
mary election in this district, we beg
leave to say, DON'T. This delay does
not imply fraudulent manipulation of the
returns. In fact, it is almost impossible
to conceive of fraud, other than brlpery,
under the viva. vCce system.
Fraud of any kind would involve a risk
and imply a confusion among the opera
tors hardy in the range of possibility.
The weather and crop conditions have
been such as to fully warrant the election
officials in taxing advantage OF the full
limit of time allowed them-two days-in
which to make their returns. That limit
expired last evening. On the 9th Of July
or earlier the district chairman. Mr.. T.
freeman Epes of Blackstone, Va. will
call the District Committee together and
canvass the poll and decide the result.
In the meantime there is no reason to
charge fraud or to fear it. Each candi-
date had a representative at each pre-
circt, and the tally will show exactly
What the poll-book should show. 1t would
be easy enough to settle the question
should an attempt be made to falsify the
returns, but nc such attempt will be made.
certainly with the appreciation Of either
o. the candidates. The talk about fraud
is icle. Groundless and mischievous. and
good Democrats should refrain from in
Gutging in it.
The truth OF the matter is. the candi-
dates and their friends know as little
about the results of the recent primary
as the parties who are swift to impute
fraudulent purposes to them in delaying
the returns

July l9.-Louis B. James. of GlenvieW, q
nincteen-ycar- to-day Won for his
own the highest golfing honors that can
come to an amateur in the United States
by defeating Edwin M. Byecs, OF the
Allegheny Golf Club. Of Pittsburg, in the
finals OF the annual championship tour
nament. His victory was decisive. as
shown both by the medal scores and the
hole play. He finished four up and two
to play. with spectacular. put of at
least ten yards over the uneven, water
soaked surface OF the seventh green, and
even before he had fiished his ball out Of
the cup he was grabbed by his wildly
cheering club mates and hoisted on their
shoulders.
James medal score: Morning. out 45. in
80: afternoon. out il. in 81, for seven
holes Byers: Morning out 43. in 43; af-
,ernoon, out "a. in 81. for seven holes.
The young champion won his iaureis on
the green's Both drove beautifully al
day James shots were SO true as to
excite enthusiastic comment from vii
lie" Smith, Auchterlonie. Leslie. and
other western professionals. who learned
the game amid the sand dunes of Scot
land. Time and again he laid long APP
proach pitches dead for the hole. and
only once or twice during :he long. trying
contest did he fail to negotiate his puts.
Tall and slender. with the fragile limbs
of an overgrown boy, he used every
ounce of his weight to the best advan-
tage in his drives and brassers, and sell
dom failed to cover 200 yards from the
tee.
Byers lost the game on the greens. At
Yale and in the east the young Pitts
burger gained the reputation OF being uu-
reliable in his short game. unbeatable at
times and woefully lacking in accuracy
at others. To-day was his off day.
Three times he had short puts to win
the hole. and twice. had he putted down
from short distances the hole would have
been halved. In every instance he failed

delicate play on the greens Byers was
sound wanting.
Probably golf championship was
never decided under such unfarorab!e
conditions. Part Of the morning play was
during rainstorm that was almost a
deluge. The play was entirely over the
first nine holes of the eghteen-hole
course. several of the greens Of the last
nine being entirely under water.
The gallery that followed the two con-
testants probably was the largest that
