At the Miller hotel, 81 votes had

county. Returns are estimated
based upon the actual vote cast In
the first primary. Returns started
coming in Tuesday.
Despite the fact that Sterling Is
given a lead In all five sections Of
the state. the poll shows that the
contest Is a close one. Many cor
respondents emphasize this in their
reports In a number of counties
where majorities are predicted, the
correspondents state there viii be
majorities OF q few hundred votes
only. Several report that the race
is SO close in their counties that
they do not feel a prediction justi-
fled. On the whole the maiorititt
given Mrs. Ferguson are greater
tan those for Sterling.
10 Is difficult to say Just where
the race Is closest, owing to dis
tribution Of counties which have
not vet reported. Apparently.
though, II Is in East and West
Texas. South Texas Is proving a
Sterling stronghold, while Mrs.
Ferguson's greatest strength is
showing IN Central Texas. The Doll
points TO a light vote for next Sat
urday.
Fear Small Poll
approximately rs per cent of
the vote is in. On this basis, the
total will not show much above 600,-
600. The latter figure IS about two
thirds Of the 833,422 cast in the
first primary.
Roughly the poll shows Sterling
strength In the cities and Gowns,
and Mrs. Ferguson strength In the
rural sections. This is only par
tally so. however, since Sterling
Is making a good showing In the
country and Mrs. Ferguson Il
placed close TO her opponent IN all
the big cities except Dallas. Hous-
ton and Austin. She Is given a
small majority In Galveston.
Ii Is predicted that Travis county
will give Sterling 5000 and Mrs. Fer
guson $500.
Bexar Splits
II Is predicted that Bexar county
will give Sterling less than 1000 ma
Jorlty out Of a total Of $4,000 votes.
Tarrant county Is divided Ster-
ling $4,000; Mrs. Ferguson 10000.
Harris gives Sterling 10000 and
Mrs Ferguson 5000.
Galveston county gives Mrs. Fer
guSOn 1000; Sterling $500.
FL Paso county states Sterling's
majority will be very slight and
names no figures.
Potter county gives Sterling $500;
Mrs Ferguson 800.
Williamson county gives Sterling
1900; Mrs. Ferguson $500.
Bel county gives Sterling $3.50;
Mrs. Ferguson 5000.
Returns by Sections
McLennan county gives Sterline
1910; Mrs. Ferguson $500.
The returns by sections OF the
state as they have reported thus
far follow:

Michigan Tops List
Michigan tops the list with an
indicated increase of four Repre-.

population figures announced by
the Census Bureau. New Jersey, it
appears, will score gain of three.
Ohio will gain one.
Losses Of two each appear GER

AS set forth in a previous

Ohio Falls Short
Advance estimates made by the
Census Bureau a year and a half
ago for the information of Con.

for Michigan. three for Ohio, two
for New Jersey and one for Con,
necticut. Michigan, therefore
meets the forecast while New Jer-
Sey goes one beyond it, but Ohio
falls two short of what had been
expected and Connecticut fails
to get its expected gain of one.
The advance forecast called for
Indiana to lose two. but it pre-.
dicted only one loss for PennSyl.
vania and did not anticipate
Rhode Islands loss of one. Like
wise it did not anticipate New
York'S gain, but booked it to lose
one. The losses of one each for
Maine, Massachusetts, and Yer
mont were anticipated. t..

ever known throughout the

dry weather was propitious for
nearly every quail that was
Matched out to live. Most of the
birds did live, but they are now
threatened with starvation. Little
or no feed, due to drought. has
been left in the fields for the
birds. The scarcity of all kinds Of
feed has caused farmers to comb
almost every field for provender
for stock.
The birds are now living on

HYTTSVIILE, Md, Sept. g.
The new 50-foot road which is
being constructed between Hyatts.
vile and Cattail Hill, about a
mile above Riverdale, is expected
to be completed in about so days,
it was announced today.
The road is expected to be the
"last word" in highway construc.
ton, being 10 feet wider than the
Baltimore-Laurel road, which has
formerly been considered the
finest road in the State. The new
road will be As feet wide from the
south end of the bridge in Hyatts-

tance of one block. while the re.
mainder of the way, about three

In planning the road the State

Corn Crop In Maryland, West

Despite Long Dry Spell

While eastern states have in q
good measure recovered from the
effects Of the drought, Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia, are
still feeling its hold. T.
The conditions, however, are
better than they were expected
to be. Crops in the eastern part
OF Maryland are more than hold.
ing their own. Farmers report
that although the tobacco crop
will be shorter than usual, a fair
supply is expected. Potatoes, too,
will be plentiful. The corn will
suffer most, but in the lower
part of st. Mary's County, where
some rain has fallen. the corn
is looking exceptionally good.
Cool nights and the conservation
Of what little moisture that was
in the ground have been given
credit for the success of the
crops.
Serious Water Lack
The water shortage about Lau-
rel Grove and Mechanicsville is
becoming acute. with nearly all
of the wells of the section having
gone dry. Water is being hauled
for miles in many places.
Rain fell last night in Charles
town, w. Va, breaking a dry
spell of more than a hundred
days in some parts Of Jefferson
County.
Because Of the lack Of water in
southwest Virginia, one large
grower Is reported to have lost
$180, 900 on 5000 steers, each one
of which represented a loss Of
$50.

price of feeding the stock for six
or eight months, also.
