T.. NJ Murchison. the Editor Of THE Florida
Philosopher Of Crescent City. Fla. tells In his
paper how he was prevented from voting on
November g. When he entered the booth and
opened the official ballot he found that the
names of the Presidential electors OF the differ
ent tickets were not printed on separate col
umns by themselves. but in one column, Re-
publicans, Democrats. Prohibitonists and Popu-
lists being all mixed up. Mr.. Murchison Ia a
Prohbtionist. and took slip OF paper contain
Ing the of the Prohibltionist electors out Of
his pocket, simply to assist his memory in mark
ing them In the official ballot. But local
Democratic boss declared that by this act he
had forfeited his vote. and he was hustled out
of the booth. No Democrat, Of course, was pre-
vented from refreshing his memory as much as
he chose. 1t was by such methods that Bryan
made even as good a showing as he did in the
South.

FIELDS GREAT SINGERS.

Singing is the basis of minstrelsy. The
definition of the word "minstrel' is "a
vocalist who accompanies himself upon a
musical instrument" Singing is the
oldest style of entertainment produced for
the edlfication of the human race. Fab
ulous sums have been received by must
clans in all ages for their performances
on various musical Instruments but no
musician has ever made the success finan-
cially or artistically that has been at
tanned by the famous vocalists of the
world. Vocal music is the oldest and best
music of all. Al. G.. Field the manager
of the Al. G. Field Big White Minstrels
and Eutopia, recognizes this fact, as the
vocal contingent attached to his minstrel
performance is the largest and the hest
ever advertised with any single attrac-
ton. Will Walling, the noted tenor, is
the vocal director. Among the soloists
are the names of many of who have at
tanned fame in the leading operate or

laney, Frank Todd and Paul Lalonde 90
to make up single party capable of fur
nishing an evenings entertainment and
giving music of much higher order than
is usually presented. Also minstrel
performance including seXtets, Quartets
etc, which are made Il special feature of
the programme. The singing is one of
the many great features of this great
company. Eddie Fox and his solo or
chestra are another big feature and 20 a
long ways towards proving the superior
ity of the Al. e. Field MINISTRIES over all
the others.

A Citizens Mass-Meetlng to Look After
Race-Track Gambling.


FARMNlLLE. VA, Jan. Especial
"A meeting OF the citizens OF the town
was held in the courthouse last night
at ) O'Clock, TO take action in regard TO
the Maupin bill and the Reddy amend
ment now before the Legislature.
Mayor o. 5. Wicker was called to
the chair, and Mr.. +. l.. Hart was elected
secretary. The following resolutions
were offered by DR.. Winston.
Whereas danger of the grossest char
acter confronts the good people of Vir-
ginia, in the possible defeat of the Mau-
pin anti-gambling bill, now under dis
cussion in the Legislature; and.
Whereas. further, the failure to pass
any measure to abate the accursed plague
of pool-selling and race-track gambling.
or, worse still, to license them, as advo-
Gated in the Reddy bill, would be a
serious calamity. therefore,
Resolved, first, That In our opinion, any
privilege or concession legalzing wrong
doing and thereby lowering the standard
of morality. for the sake OF gain. real or
fanciful. by 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 concern
ed, and that the breed Of race-horses
influence no legislator 10 legalize even for
a day that which experience and public
morals condemn.
Third. That a copy OF these resolutions
be sent 10 the honorable patrons OF the
bill and TO our senator and representa-
tive i'm the legislature. and that they
be requested ITO use every honorable
means to secure the passage OF the anti
gambling bill.
After short. but pointed remarks by
DR.. Winston. Or. Bagby. Messrs. Ware
Simpson, Brgg. Judge Crute. and others,
the resolutions were unanimously adopt
cd The position taken by The Times In
this matter was highly commended by
some of the speakers.
