continuous successful enga gements
during the hottest and worst months
of the year, il is more fitting that
we should congratulate cur forces
on their splendid record. In view

The Prosecuted Negro.
Jacksonville Times Union)

kJdthSOuNlllc AllltS bhiplAs(
Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett is q New
England young woman, who, like most
OF that curious species, is given TO
views" Miss Jewetts particular view
al this moment is Of dark and sombre
hue, caused doubtless by the especial cb-
ject-the southern negro-that she has
chosen 20 contemplate through the gold
trimmed spectacles that females Of her
class are addicted TO wearing. Miss Jewett
has been telling a Boston audience all
about the terrible precautions to which
the negro is subjected in this benighted
section. and she and her hearers have
worked themselves into such state OF
Mysteries over the matter that something
really dreadful may happen if the negroes
down this way don't stop being perse-
cuted. AS il is. Miss L. Clayton Jewstt
has decided that the only manner In
which she herself can bring RELIEF To heI
outraged feelings is to come South ana
tell Us to our teeth just what she thinks
of us-"lazy southern barbarians," we be-
lieye she designates US. The Boston au-
dience will probably stand of IN the
background and applaud the intrepid adj
ventures. and thus give some relief 10
its own collective feelings.
We OF Florida shall be glad to welcome
the indignant Miss Jewett. There are yet
some strange sights IN this world that
Floridians are unfamiliar with. and as
we are always willing TO extend the scope
VI our knowledge, Miss Lillian c. Jewett
will no doubt prove an interesting addl-
ton 10 the general curriculum. III we can
induce the young woman TO take up her
abode with US for say year, II VIII De
entertaining 10 compare the notes or her
first impressions OF the poor, prosecuted
negro with those Of her last Impressions.
We are willing 10 wager as much as Il
nickel that a dlscord would be found In
the diapasOn Of events recorded that MISS
Jewett would have hard Work 10 explain
10 her Boston audience-if she ever faced
IL again.
The truth Of the matter is that this
Miss l.. c. Jewett Is the type OF when
Miss Ophelia in "Unc e Toms Cabin Is
the prototvpe. WHAT she doesn't know
about the southern negro and his ways
IL would take a twelvemonth or sundays
to relate. In the old ante-bellum DAYS oc-
casional missionaries-like Miss Ophella-
strayed down this way from The North,
and tried TO make saints and martyrs Of
the black folks they came across. But the
negroes soon found that the old marsters
and missuses were their best friends after
al. and the misguided northern females
1ourneyed sadly and more wisely home
again In these days the intelligent,
worthy negro still knows who Is h!s best
friend and a regiment OF Miss Jewetts
cannot make him believe otherwise.
Yet as we have already remarked. We
shall BE- pleased TO welcome Miss Lillian
Clayton Jewett among as. She Is EVIDENT
" one OF those singular products II the
New England soil that Is not 70 be dupli-
Gated anywhere else on the round, round
globe and we shal be glad 10 have the
opportunity 10 study her At close range.
When she returns she can take back as
many negroes as she wishes, and we shall
be the very last 10 say her nay
