Anally been ascertaned officially what
tho result OF the primary election IN this
legislative district, composed Of NottoWay
and Amelia counties. proved to be. While,
the official vote does not vary even
single vote from tho estimated majority
reported In this correspondence the night
Of the primary, there Is some difference
tn the detailed vote.
While tho official vote Of Nottoway was
reported to Amelia the day after the pri.
mary was held. the official vote of Amelia
was not received here until ono week
later or Wednesday night OF this week.
The following Is declared by tho two
chairrnen as the result.
Total vote cast. 1.23l Of these; Fl. y.
Ice, of Nottoway. received $685. and J.
w. Fowlkes, OF Amelia $751; This gives
Lee majority Of e5, and he has, there
fore been declared the nominee by mo-
lice published in the local paper at this
place.
There was a little spirit Of county
rivalry between the two counties, and
some wagers were laid as to which OF the
candidate, would capture the most votes
In their opponents county In this Mr. Lee
was also the winner. OF the GA votes cast
in Nottoway, he received Asa to Dir.
Eowlkes $50. or seventy-two por cent to
Mr.. Fowkcs twcnty-eight per cent. In
Amelia MIR. Fowlkes received 3ea votes
to Lees 1879, or sixty-stx per cent. to
Lee s thirty-four per cont. Thus Mr.. Lee
received thIrty-foyr per cent. IN Mr..
Fowlkes' county, while Fowlkes only re.
ceived twenty-eight per cent, in Lees
county.
There has been much comment and
contention between citizens OF Amelia
over tho manner OF conducting the cleo
ton in that county. EXAMINATIONS and re-
examinations have been made and pub
lished. and the statements of some have
bstn charged as false by others. So
animated did this become that neutral
friends were forced to ntercede and en-
deavor to adjust tho differences and mis-.
understandings. What the result OF this
arbitration has been or will be Is not
known at this time. but 1t is hoped by the
friends Of both sides that an auicable
solution may be arrived at.
