Candidates for State Offices.

having been held ut st. George. The
time tor filing pledges with tho State
chairman expired Monday at noon,
While the listof entries is very large,
contain all Of the names that were cx-
pccted to be found on the entry sheet.
AS 1t stands there arc now eight candi-
dateRin the field for Governor, all Of the
differing views on the Liquor question
are represented and from the present
outlook 1t ls going to be a very' pretty
race.
The candidates for governors stand as
'oiiows on the Liquor question:
0ptlon; Senator Cole J.. Blrasc, OF New
berry. State dispcnsary rs it stands;
Joei r: Brunson, OF Sumter. straight
prohibition; w. y. Edwards, prohib-
tl0n or wards; X. ]. Manning, Of Sum-
ter, dispcnsary, reformed; J. j. McMa
nan, OF Columbia, dispensnry, reform
ca; Lieut.. Governor John Il. Sloan, for
tho State dispensary; A. e. Jones, OF
Newberry, prohibition.
Perhaps the greatest surprise in tho
list of entries is that of Col. w. w.
Lumpkin, of Columbia, who has en-
tered tho field for United States Sena-
tor, 1t has been generally thought
that Senator Tillman would be- re-
nominated without opposition, aud the
filing of the pledge of Col. Lumpkin
was entirely without warning, without
any nomination and entirely of his
personal accord. Col. Lumpkin is Of
that name: His brother for many
years was Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court or Georgia, and most of his
family hold positions of influence and
importance in their native State.
Col. Lumpkin is the commercial
agent OF the Georgia Railroad in Co
!umbia and is perhaps best known in
the state on account of his eloquent
and patriotic addresses to Confederate
He has wonderful flow of language
and there is no question of his ability
as an orator. He has never been a
candidate for Office in this State. and
bis position on public issues will be
first announced In his addresses before
the voters.
One of the prettiest of all contests
VIII be for Attorney General. The en-
Go9smb;,! fs1es are Gen. w;1y wLe;1roy F. Youmans, Of
Florence, and Mr.. Fraser Lyon, Of Alb
beviile. In this contest the dispensa-
~ and anti. ti.dispensRry issue will be
keenly and sharply cut. Mr. Ragsdale
ID an out and ont dispensary advocate.
Mr. Lyon ia absolutely against the
State dispensaIy. He has taken this
position as q result of the investigation
that be has made. In this fight tho
lasue Will 10 sharply and clearly defin-
take remains to be seen at the St.
George meeting.
The two candidates who have the
certainty Of renomfnations are: Capt.
n. d.. Jennings, for State Treasurer,
ana Mr. y: b. Martin, for Superinten-
dent Of Education.
As they are to have no opposition
whatever they will only have to go
through go much Of the campaign as
with one vote.
