THE GAME IN DARLINGTON.
Five Innings Played in Heavy Rain 10
Cinch Gate Receipts.

1t seemed a shame that rain should
have prevented the playing OF the
game in Darlington yesterday for,
since the organization of the aeague,
there have never been brighter pros
poets for a brilliant game. Baron
Wenig was to have worked for' Dar-
lnston and Red Russell was on the
firing line for the Game Cocks. Both
teams were eager for the fray.
Al enormous crowd, numbering not
less than 1000, filled the grand stands
and occupied the side lines. The game
was started in drilling rain, and
before the first inning had been con-
cluded the rain came down in spch
torrents as to render further playing
impossible. It was necessary to cinch
the gate receipts, so when slight
holdup came five innings were hur-
riedly played, it being understood that
no ball should be knocked out Of the
diamond. At the conclusion Of this
farce the. game was called.

COL LUMPKIN WITHDRAWS.
Makes Formal Statennent-Says His
Determination Is Due to Changed
Conditions in the Campaign.

Columbia, July 6.-Col. Lunpkin
has withdrawn from the race for the
United States senate. He has a good
reason, which he does not care 10 give
to the public and his withdrawal, he
says. is not due in any measure to
fear, but for reasons over which he
has no control. He has been very
much gratihed at the promise Of sup
port which he has received from all
over the State, and he would have
been glad to have gone through
with the campaign to the END.
He was not sanguine enough to pre-
dict that he would receive the Demo-
cratic nomination, but he said last
night that he feels sure that he would
have received a much larger vote than
a great many people had suspected
and he was depending upon circuna-
stances to pull him through the race,
but for reasons which seemed sufh-
cient to himself and his closest friends
he had deemed it best to retire from
the campaign.
In a signed statement to the read
ears of The State, Col. Lumpkin last
night said:
"on account of the change of con-
ditions surrounding the senatorial
race, deem it best to withdraw from
the contest. I have endeavored to
conduct my campaign in manly,
straightforward way up to this time,
and retire feeling that I have not in
tentionally wronged any one.

Mr.. Manning on Local~eption.

The following is from the platform
Of Mr. Richard I. Naming printed IN
the Columbia State, June %:
Il wish to say here, frankly, that I
DO not advocate local option. am op-
posed to it. It sounds plausible, fair
and Democratic, and it would seem to
afford an enticing plan, for the reason
that it would be SO easy apparently TO
satisfy all parties, but this view seems
to me to be superficial. I believe that
we ought to have one thing or the 9TH
er. 1t sounds like good Democratic
doctrine to advocate local option and
let each county dc what It p'eases with
this liquor question or any other, put
as a. matter Of fact it does not seem TO
me to work out and promise sarisfac-
tory results. AS far as the Democratic
view of it is concerned, is it rot merely
an arbitrary adoption to take the
county as a standard for local option?
If this principle is carried out it seems
to me that it would soon carry US to a
reductio ad absurdum. It would be
carried from the county to the town
ship and on to the family and individ-
ual, which would mean that every
man would be a law unto himself,
with little or no restraint Of law or
consideration of others. Is it not
equally, if not more, Democratic to
submit to majority rule for the State,
and let the majority decide what plan
shall be adopted for the regulation of
this liquor question.
."Mr. Brunson argues against local
option from the standpoint Of prohi-
bition. While I do not agree with
him on the prohibitlye feature, think
he is entirely right in claiming that
local option would simply mean 4
patchwork and would prove unsatis-
factory, and that if one. county had
prohibition and another county had
liquor, the county having prohibition
would reap the evils of liquor without
having and counteracting benefit. SO
much for local option

A Vital Point.

Col. pete, Hepburn tells Of a
lawyer prominent in Iowa who was
much given to spinning metaphysical
distinctions in his arguments before a
jury. On one occasion, says Mr.. Hep
burn, the learned lawyer appearing
as counsel for plaintiff offered such an
obstruse explanation of the difficulty
giving rise to the suit under trial
that the jury were soon hopelessly
befuddlei.
At this junctu-e counsel for the de-
fendant took a hand, telling a story
to the jurors that resulted IN the dis
comfture of his opponent.

tiff, began the opposing lawyer, who

The State between Friends.

An Indiana State official, now under
conviction for embezzlement, was the
victim of circumstances, according to.
the view Of some 21,000 friendly cit
liens who signed a petition tc the
governor, praying that he be paroled~
And it clearly appears from Governor
Hanley's statement denying the pray
er that this is true. The governor
points out that the official, irnme-
diately upon coming into Office, took
$4,000 Of State money to pay his per-
sonal debts-being an honorable debt
or and having no other resources. y
little later he had the misfortune to
lose $4,000 at cards-the State treas
ury naturally sanding the shot. Again,
he invested the public's money in oil
wells and gold mines that turned out
badly, and friends to whom he lent
sums that were in his official keep
ing neglected to pay him. In short,
circumstances seem to have formed
a perfect conspiracy to victi1nize the
unhappy official, who actually lost al
most every dollar that he stole.
The 21,OOO citizens who signed the
petition in the officials behalf are
probably no different from their
neighbors, except in that they, Or
many Of them, know the man per-
sonally, and so are able to see him as
the good fellow in hard luck,
whereas others see simply the thief Of
public funds. Probably not one Of
them would condone pocketpicking
or burglary, but the State is such an
impersonal, intangible thing; its
money doesn't cost it anything. 1t is
hard to visualize a crime against it
when there is a good fellow on the
other side. What IS the constitution
between friends?-Satur Evening
