the motive that prompted the book
Monteagle, has as a guest Mrs. L. N
Whitner, of Jacksonville, Fla, who
lived only short distance from Man,
DARN, Fla, the home Of Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe during her last days
Mrs. Whitner used often to visit this
cottage home, almost hidden among
the orange trees on the St. Johns
river, and talks entertainingly of this
noted woman.
Mrs. Stowe said to her over and
over emphatically that she came south
with a pniianthropic love for the, ne
groes, hoping to spend her last days
in benef1ting and elevating them, but
she had met disappointment at every
turn: they had abused her kindness
and shown ingratitude and total wan-
of appreciation.
While talking of Uncle Toms
Cabin, Mrs. Stowe said: THAT story
had its origin in the idle brain OF a
romantic girl of IA years, fired by
the fearful stories told me by my
father and uncle. l did not know
the negro then, or it would never
have been written"
In her last days she grew very
bitter toward the negroes and would
not allow one to do her the least SER

Milton, Fla, July 19.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
l have just read your editorial
1.-The Passing of the BarroOm," in
your issue of to-day. 1t is a true
statement of the sentiment and con-
ditions of to-day. You have also
summed up correctly the situation in
Santa Rosa county. Our people are
aroused throughout the entire county,
and there is no longer any question
as to the result of next Tuesdays
election. The manhood of our coun-
ty will march to the polls on that
day and vote old Santa Rosa a dry
county.
From my visits to various sections
of the county, and from my talks
with our citizens, 1 am satisfied that
only very small minority will vote
to sustain an institution that is cost
ing our people its best manhood by
cOrrupting the body polite as we'll as
the individual The only question
now is, how big majority will the
prohibitionists have? We realize
that the larger the majority, the bet
ter for the cause, and we are now pill
ing up an overwhelming majority.
