List of the Candidates.

Grace, Charleston.
For Adjutant and Inspector Gener-
al-Henry T. Thompson, Columbia.
For Solicitor, Fifth Circuit-B. B.
Clarke, Camden.
For Congress, Sixth District.
Willard Ragsdale, Florence.
These were the candidates who got
in their pledges and assessment
checks Tuesday, before State Chair
man Willie Jones closed his books,
which he did, pursuant to announce
ment, promptly at noon. There can
be no more entries now.
1t became known Monday that Mr..
Grace might make the race for the
Senate, but Col. Lumpkin's candidacy
came as complete surprise. 1t will
be remembered that some years ago,
Col. Lumpkin started to run against
Senator Tillman, but withdrew before
the campaign was well started.
Another great surprise was the en-
trance of Col. Henry T. Thompson
against Adjutant General Boyd, who
is standing for another term.
Mr.. Clarke's entrance in the solici-
torship race had been expected and so
had Mr.. Ragsdale's entrance in the
race for congress over in the sixth
district. -
All is in readiness now for the in
auguration of the spell-binding on
the hustings. The candidates for
United States Senator hold forth to-
day at Sumter, while those for State
offices will speak in the new county of
Calhoun, at the county seat, St. Mat
thews.
It was reported this morning that
the Charleston people opposed to
Mayor Rhett might put up either Mr.
Grace or Mr.. J. K. P. Bryan. The de-
cision they reached is indicated by
the fact that Mr.. Grace is thg entry.
