We hear the gentle cackle of The

And finds bosom friend in every man
he meets.
He asks about your family, horses and

And shows friendly interest in the

On, he's jolly gentleman, as game
some as a. lamb,
AS blithesome as a meadow lark and
happy as clam.

his chances are sure;
He spends his money freely and helps
the needy poor,
He goes to church on Sunday and his
pious traits appear,
But when it's necessary he'll then ses
up the beer.
Oh, he's buoyant sanguine duck,

stays out late at night.

COL. IUMpKIN HAS
WITHDRAWN.
Makes Formal Statement to That
Effect.

Col. W. W. Lumpkin has withdrawn
from the race for the United States
senate. He has good reason which
he does not care to 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 promis Of support which he has
received from ali 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 q much larger vote than
a great many people had suspected
and he was depending upon circum
stances to pull him through the race,
but for reasons which seemed to be suf-
ficient to himself and his closest friends
he had deemed it best to retire from
the campaign:
In a signed statement to the readers
of the State, Col. LumpEin last night
said: -.
''On account Of the change CT con-
ditions surrounding the senatorial
race, I 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 ! have not in
tentionally weonged any one.

Trade Relations with the South.

Washington, July 5.-1n view Of the
important part which commercial cen
ditions in various countries of the Two
American continents will play in the
coming Pan American congress at
Rio Janeiro, the department Of COM
merce and labor has published mono
graph on the subject.
1t shows that the total annual COM
merce of both Americas is S5,050, ,027,-
900, of which S2,S06, 900 is that of
the United States, imports and exports
being combined to form these totals.
Considering imports, especially, the
total for all America is S2,1S4, ,377 900,
of which s1,179, 900 is imports of
the United States. Exports of all
America are S2,s65, $780, 900, Of which
s1,646, 9S4, 900 is from the United States.
Thus of imports into all America about
81 per cent, are in the United States.
OF exports from all America about 81
per cent. go from the United States.
The general fact that the United
States supplies 26 per cent. Of the i'm
ports of American countries and takes
35 per cent. of their exports suggests
that fairly satisfactory trade relations
between this country and her Spanish
American neighbors.
