AGAINST THE RACE TRACKS.

A meeting of the citizens of Farm,
vile, Va, was held in the court house
Friday night to take action in regard
to the Maupin bill and the Reddy
amendment, now before the Legisla-
ture.
Mayor Wicker was called to the
chair. The following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas danger of the grossest character
confronts the good people of Virginia, in the
possible defeat of the Maupin anti-gambling
bill, now under discussion in the Legislature
and,
whereas, further, the failure TO pass any
measure TO abate the accur5ed plague of pool
selling and Iace.track gambling. or, worse
still. to license them, as advocated in the
Reddy bill, would be serious calamity
therefore,
Resolved, first, That in our opinion, any
privilege or concession legalizing wrong doing
and thereby lowering the standard or moral
ity, for the sake Of gain, real or fanciful, ly
individuals, or By legislative enactment, is a
crime against humanity
Second, That material interests should have
no weighty consideration where the morals OF
men and women are concerned, and that the
breed of race horses or the success of agricul
tural fairs should influence no legislator to
legalize even for day that which experience
and public morals condemn.
Third. That copy Of these resolutions be
sent TO the honorable patrons Of the bill and
to our Senator and Representative in the Leg.
islature, and that they be requested TO use
every honorable means to secure the passage
of the ii gambling bill.

veloped that the real cause of the trouble
between Colonel Lamb and Mr.. Edgar

Endorsed. he says that the majority of

the party locally anyhow. If Colonel

IT Is absurd enough for Northern
people to be advocating governmental
interference with the peculiar affairs OF
Turkey, but for those of the South TO
be doing so is positively grotesQue, IN
view of the resentment they manifest
ed when a British association sent g
commission here recently to investigate
charges of alleged brutally and cruelty
to negroes of which they were
accused by Northern newspapers and
Ida Wells, which charges were based
upon as slight foundation as those
against the Turks are said to be by dis
interested people who are familiar
with Armenian affairs, according to
whom, the suferings of the Armenians
are the legitimate result OF their OVID
