The race for senator has afforded
surprise after surprise for several
months in entries and Withdrawals,
and the uncertainty was kept up un-
til the last minute today, when Col.
Lumpkin put in his pledge shortly
before the entries closed. That Mr..
Grace would be a candidate had been
reported yesterday. Col. Lumpkin
entered the race two years ago
against Senator Tillman, but with
drew after the campaign opened and
after he had canvassed several coun-
ties He is a native Of Georgia, but
10 tn,
or more and is well known over the
state as an accomplished orator and
favOrite at reunions of the Confed-
crate veterans He was himself a
gallant soldier and is a member of a
family distinguished in the history of
his native state. He is man OF most
lovable character and disposition.
Mr.. Grace is young lawyer of
Charleston and is regarded i'm that
city as the leader of the faction in
city politics opposed to the Rhett fac
ton. His candidacy for the senate,
following close on the announcement
of Mr.. Rhett's candidacy for the SEN
ate. will perhaps have the effect of
making the impression that Mr..
Rhett has not the united support Of
his home city, although he was re-
Gently elected mayor for a second
term without. opposition. The fight
between the Rhett and Grace factions
was evident in the recent state dem
ocratic convention. when Mr.. Rhett
and his friends supported the candi-
dacy of Editor II. r. Waring for dis
trict delegate. and Mr.. Grace. who at
first aSpired to be district delegate.
then became a candidate for delegate
at large. and subsequently for alter
nate at large. being elected to the
latter nOSitiOn.-NeWS and Courier.
