ferring either the Devons or the

The Mill Hills are anxious to know
where the Osceolas annexed the idea

While the showing of the Jackson
vile team during the last few days
may be nothing more than a flash in
the pan. there are those among local
fandom who expect to see the Florida
club rise rapidly from its present
lowiy berth in last place whittier it
dropped during the first week of the
season by reason of all round ragged
work.
1t is by no means an easy task to
bring ball club out of a rut the
nature of the one which the Jays fell
into at the very outset. That much
was excellently illustrated there last
season when the homers were placed
under the heavy handicap of fourteen
consecutive defeats, the self-same
Jacksonville club having been the one
to start the Indians downward by
beating them in the four opening
games here. Every sort of a change
was attempted by Magoon then, but
without favoring results during the
first wo weeks. Gradually, however,
the club rounded to and after an eX-
perimental period which covered al
most two months began to make the
others sit up and take notice, finishing
in third place at the wind-up.
Practically the same conditions have
existed in Jacksonville this season and
in addition the club has been forced
t omeet the stronger clubs in the
league. Up till the present it has met
only Macon, Albany and Columbus,
these in double rounds. Taking for
granted that the club was weak at the
outset, its showing against the clubs
it has played has not been as poor as
that of the team last season. Where
fore, the disparaging reports concern
ing the team, Notwithstanding it is far
from impossible that the month of
July will not find it well removed from
the cellar berth

.DISFRANC ENLISTMENT BILL
INTRODUCED IN GEORGIA

Columbus. GA, June 24.-The
complete disfranchise of the Negro
in Georgia through test which
IS4tst prove his character so fault
less and unquestionable that "a
modest and virtuous female" may
be trusted to his care without a
natural white male protector. in
the dark or in other places of Sc
clusion. with perfect security OF
her person, is the aim of bill to
be introduced in the Georgia Leg
isIature next week by CAPTAIN j.
j. Slade, representative from Mus
cogee County.
The application of the test to
applicants for registratian, or Ne
groes already registered. is expect
ed to purge the sheets of practi-
cally every one of the 12,OOO Ne
groes who now vote IN Georgia
through meeting the requirements
of the existing bill seeking to ap-
ply disfranchisment.
The application is to be made
by the Registrar, with obvious re-
suits. in the events defined in the
first sec ion of the bill. The wo-
man must appear in person and
verify the statement before the
Registrar. and her standing in the
community must be unquestioned.
1t might at first appear that
this bill and it's plan is the pro-
duct of some crank, but such is
not the case, and letters from
Representatives indicate that it
has a fair chance of passage if it
is properly handled. Captain
Slade is one of the real friends of
education in this state, and has
done much to place this means OF
advancement within the reach of
the Negroes.
He is a friend of the Negro and
believes that there is hope for him
but frankly admits, his conclusion
that it is unwise to trust him with
the ballot or to permit his temp
tation by corrupt politicians or the
yearning for equality that repose
in every black breast. He thinks
it will be generations before the
Negro can be safely trusted to
participate in the government OF
himself and his white brethren.

live. LII was early morning Wien
[ arrived in the city for the first
time. The. sun which was just
rising over the black mass of Yes
uvius, flooded the whole city and
the surrounding country with the
most enchanting light. In this
soft light the gray and white mass
es of the city buildings, piled
against the projecting hillside to
the right and streaching away
along the curving shores to the
left, made picture which | shall
never forget
Some of the sunshine seemed to
have got into the veins of the peo-
pie, too, for | never saw anywhere
SO much sparkle and color, SO
much life and movement, as did
among the people who throng the
narrow streets of Naples. [ new
er heard before so many curious
human noises or saw such vivid
and expressive gestures. On the
other hand, l never saw anywhere
before so many beggers. SO many
barefooted men, so many people
waiting at the station and around
the streets to pick up casual job.
1t seemed to me that there were
at least six porters to every passen-
ger who got off the train, and these
porters were evidently well organ
lzed, for | had the experience of
seeing myself and my efforts
calmly parceled out among half
dozen of them, every one of whom
demanded, of course, a separate
fee for his services.
Very few persons who go to Ma
Piles merely as sightseers ever get
acquainted, l suspect, with the act
ual conditions of the people. Most
travellers who see Naples are car
ried away by the glamor of the
sunshine, the color, and the vivac-
ity of the Italian temperament.
For that reason, they do not see
the hard struggle for existence
which goes on in the marrow streets
of the city, or, if they do, they
look upon the shifts and devices
to which this light hearted people
are driven in order to live as merely
part of the picturesqueness OF
southern life and people.
| have been more than once
through the slums and poorer
quarters of the colored people OF
New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadel'
phia and New York, and my per
sonal observation convinces me
that the colored population of
these cities is in every way many
ner cent better off than the cores
ponding classes in Naples and the
other Italian cities [ have named.

become city dwellers and live in
the same narrow streets with the
rest of the population. Whatever
may be true of the goat, however,
| am sure that the COW is not nat
urally adapted to city life, and
where as is true in LIauy instances
whole families are forced to crowd
into one or two rooms, the cow
stall is likely to be still more
crowded. Under these conditions
| am sure that the average COW is
going to be neither healthy nor
happy.
