Card Of Defamation.
Hon. W. H. F. Rast Comes Out of
the Senatorial Race.

Hon. W. H. F. Rast Comes Out of
the Senatorial Race.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
l take this method of Informing
my friends and supporters, that after
mature deliberation, I have decided
that my business affairs are in such
shape as to demand my personal su,
pervision and undivided attention,
and that under the circumstances it
would be an injustice to the people
and the Democratic party, as we'll as
to myself and the other candidates
to remain longer in the race, for by
doing so another primary will be
necessitated. To obviate this
necessity, have, therefore, decided
that the best course for me to pur-
sue is to withdraw from the race.
am deeply conscious of the fact
that this determination places me in
an awkward but false position before
my people, especially is this the case
after the publication ef my last card
in the Dispatch. At that time how
ever, I had not authorized any one to
circulate the report that I would
withdraw; but intended in that let
ter to withdraw but acting under
the advise of friends I concluded to
remain in the race in the hope that
satisfactory arrangements could be
made to continue the race to the
finish. In this I was mistaken.
The people have good men to Sc
lect Senator from, and the election
of either one of the three means that
the interest of Lexington county will
be we'll and faithfully protected.
now ask my friends not to Judge
me too harshly. What I did was
done, as I thought, for the best. I
extend my heartfelt thanks to friends
and others for the many kindnesses
and favors received while I was in
public life. I tried to do my duty as
an honest Christian gentleman and
have nothing but the kindest feel
ings for all and trust that our grand
old county will still continue to be
one among the honored counties of
our commonwealth.
Yours sincerely,
W. H. F. Rast.

Batter Price for Cotton.
The New Roundlap Bale Worth
81 90 More 10 The Mill.


Mr.. T. w. Pratt, President of the
West Huntsville Cotton Mill, Hunts
Vile, Alabama, who is known as one
of the most progressive business men
of Alabama, in addition to his exten-
sive cotton manufacturing interests
is running what is said to be one Of
the largest cotton ginning plants in
the world. Mr.. Pratt has made a
thorough investigation of the Round
lap bale in his mill, and recently
published letter, in which be said
that cotton in this form was worth
50 90 bale more to bis mill than
square bale cotton. Recently he
telegraphed as follows:
AFTER two years experience with
the Roundlap bale Of the American
Cotton Company as manufacturer,
I can positively state that my expert
ence is that it can be sampled Equally
as we'll as the square bale, that it
saves 8 per cent. in waste; that it un-
winds to the core perfectly, and
saves much labor in the opening
room. Mixed or false packed bales
are never found, For the planter,
ginner and manufacturer it is the

Liquor Constables Seized Over 500
bottles Yesterday.
The Columbia State, July 80.
Yesterday when the humidity of
the atmosphere was considered was
what every other man a person met
characterized as the hottest day of
the season. Any way the liquor
constables, BAteman ard Cureton, on
duty in Columbia, considered it a
fine day for beer and they went out
to see what they could get. They
ransacked piece of Main street
property having to break the locks to
get into one cellar and managed to
secure little liquor and what was
considered by them the equivalent Of
about 400 bottles of beer, some 81
bottles being on ice. Then they
went to place on Gervais street and
got about $50 bottles Of beer and a
small keg Of beer. There is no evi-
dence to show the ownership Of this
last batch of the frothy fluid.

The sick and wounded volunteers in
San Francisco, from Manila, are
unanimous in their condemnation of
the tactics of General Otis in dealing
with the Fllipinos. They say that
several times the Americans had the
Filipinos hemmed in and completely
whipped, when word came to cease
firing. The war, they say, would
have been ended long ago had there
not been a fool at the head of the
army.
