McCULLOUGH OUT OF RACE. Announces Withdrawal From Senatorial Contest?Issues Formal Statement. Joseph A. M(i('ulloiiuh, of (Jroenvi 1 If, has decided to withdraw from the race I'or I lie scnafu. His reasons for retiring are set I'oiTh in the following announcement, which lie <;ave to the press this afternoon: "When I accepted the position as one of the receivers for the dispensary fund I did not have time to consider its hearing upon my candidacy for the I'niled States senate, hut I could not tin n see any tiling in the faithful discharge <.t the duties imposed l>y that position "nar would iuterfere with my anipai-.'ii for the senate.

Wliat caused Judge Pritehard to go to Washington instead of to Richmond is a question asked, but not answerable here, and speculation is busy with the suggestion that lie received some message while on the train which caused a change in his destination. That the cause was some matter connected with the South Carolina dispensary case is not doubted, because on .Sunday when lie left here he stated, as ho had stated a week before, that lie was going to Richmond to preside over the circuit court of appeals. Yet on Monday ho arrived in Washington. In view of the announcement made in open court the day before by Attorney W. F. Stevenson for tin* commission, that ils members would refuse to turn over j the di pciiraiy fund to the receivers appointed by the court and his consi*, lit thi'-t the com t i?ne a rule for contempt aagiust tliein lh"iefor with out preliminary notice, so that wril> of' halbeas corpus might :il once b taken from a judge of the supreme court of the t'uited Slates, Judge I'ritchard is aware that he may be forced to use drastic measure s to j cure enforcement of his decree. Judge I'ritchard dislikes con flic; witii Stale authorities, but lie doubtless feels that it is essential to I he maintenance of his court thai he enforce obedience, and having before him the statement of counsel for the whiskey houses that the legislature intends to I urn the dispensary money 'into iiie Slate treasury, where, supposedly, (iovernor Ansel would project il even though it were actually | in the bunks, il is believed by some Viiat Judge I'ritchard h.is gone 1<> I consult with President Roosevelt.

Conservatives sug| Uest that the court may obtain p"sI session of the fund from the banks 'and that ils receivers wiVl be toll '.lot to demand it from the commissioners, and thus conflict will be avoided, but as the commissioners 'have tlie bank's collateral and Judge I'ritchard has said lie would have th * receivers take possession of the collateral. bill not pay any of the fund to creditors until the collateral was returned to the banks, Ibis theory is not accepted in court circles here. i Our character is but the stamp on our souls of the free choice of good i and evil we have made through life I ? fJeikie. 4 ???CUBA A/inter Months A Trip rl A ng io make life worth j 5, Excellent Schedules! r every advantage pos-; :1 attractive trip. or pamphlets call on| tent, or write T.
