A party of citizens of Winston

A large crowd was in town
Wednesday to attend the Sun
Brothers Circus. The crowd was
much larger than it was on the
famous public hanging day"
which created such widespread
noterity. The crowd was orderly
and no disturbance of any kind
occurred. Marshall Maxwell had
one or two extra police officers for
the occasion, and while this was
a wise precaution, their services
were not necessary.

The City Authorities and W. c. 7. U.

In another column will be found
the communication from the w.
C. T. U. addressed to the Mayor
and Board of Alderman which we
republish at their request on ac-
count Of an ommission of para
graph which occurred in its pub
lication last week.
The Times regrets that the good
ladies of the w. e 7. U. has seen
proper to address this letter to the
Mayor and Board and give it pub
licity.
In the first place no such condi-
tions as they describe 'exist in
this city. No doubt these ladies
are sincere and believe that they
are acting for the good of the
community, but their information
is based on rumor, and Dame
Rumor" is garrulous old lady
with a vi,id imagination who can
easily magnify q mole hill into
mountain.
From this letter one would nat
urally infer that our city authori-
ties are lax in enforcing the law
against blind tigers and gambling,
but such is not the case.
No town ever had a more vigi-
liant marshal than Starkville. it
is true that bootleggers ply their
trade here like in all other towns,
but they do not last long before
they are in the tolls OF the law.
The same can be said Of gambling,
and the marshal shows no favor
tiles in making arrests, aud the
mayor none in imposing tiues.
Like all other towns, Starkville
ID not perfect, and in Its citizen
shlp can be found the tiotsam
and jetsum and derelects that are
the natural consequences of
humanity. If it was otherwise we
we should have no need OF a peace
officer or Jail.
There is one feature Of this letter
upon which The Times wishes to
be enlightened. II the Grand
Jury claimed that it found ample
evidence of the existence of this
situation" and failed to indict the
parties whom the ample evil
dence" implicated, then each mem
bsr Of that Grand Jury has viola
ted his most sacred oath. But
this Is u matter between the Grand
Jury aud the w. Z. L. u, as they,
and not the Times, have made the
charge. A grand Jury should
only act upon actual evidence and
not upon second hand reports or
vague rumors.
AS we said before it is regret !,
able that this letter of the w. G.
7. u, was over given publicity.
1t has appeared in both of the
county papers and will be read by
practically every family in Oktib-
bhea county and was given to the
outside world by being published
it the Sundays edition Of the
Commercial Appeal.
Its publication has unintentional-
ly Of course, done the town a great
injury. The letter has been pub
lished in all the dailies, and com-
mented upon by the State Press,
and now we are held up to out
siders, who do not understand, as
a town infested by blind tigers
aud gamblers, who Openly violate
the laws, unmolested by the au-
thorities. And what makes it
worse, StarkvilIe is the place
where the youth Of Mississippi
receive thier education.

San Francisco, Sept. The come
back of racing in California is the
most startling surprise the sport-lov-
ing folks of this community have eX-
perieneed in many a day. The sport
Of kings is here again and every in
oication points to a revival Of the
game.
Racing of thoroughbreds in Cali
fornia has been dead for more than
: years. Laws against betting and
Lookmakers caused the men who were
running the game at that time to
deem it unwise to race without the
betting feature. IN February, 1911,
the gates OF the Emeryyille track were
closed.
\ bill to allow pari-mutuel betting
on racing came before the public at
an election more than years ago, but
was defeated.
The chance to hold a race meeting
came as a result Of the Panama Pa
cilic International Exposition, coming
to san Francisco The officials of
the great exposition gave sports and
athletics prominent place on the
varied program arranged. The sug-
gcstion of racing meeting between
thcsouRhbreds was taken un, but to
conduct a meeting OF this kind it
would require men who were famil-
lar with the sport. The matter was
b.oached to several influential men
who are interested in racing and the
thoroughbred industry and they saw
the opportunity 10 wedge in.
The Golden Gate Thoroughbred
Breeders Association was organized
and il short time there were so OF
