A GLIMPSE OF SOUTHLAND.

Maymie Geraldine williams.
q Tampa is situated on Tampa Bay
which opens into the great Gulf OF
Mexico. 1t is town of about $4,000
Inhabitants of which the Afro-Amer.
leans constitute about 1-3 Of the pop
ulation.
The soil is very sandy, and there is
sand, sand everywhere and hardly a
blade of grass.
The Negro population consists OF
Negroes from all the West India and
Bahama Isles. There are about as
many foreign Negroes here as there
are Americans viz. Cubans, Jamacians
Haytians and Nassaus.
The commercial life of the Negroes
Of Tampa is very active and one can
stop with his colored brother in al
most every avenue of business
Grocery stores, meat markets, ga.
looms, fruit stands and restaurants
are quite numerous and are conducted
successfully.
Members of the race find employ.
ment as brick layers, carpenters,
cigar makers, hack drivers, firemen,
and for almost all manual labor. Sew,
eral are working for the government
as railway clerks, letter carriers, and
internal revenue inspectors.
There are three undertaking estab.
lishments, many livery stables, wood
yards, all operated by Negroes. While
a few are engaged in raising oranges
and lemons.
4 Nearly all the Lodges own their
own buildings. The Odd Fellows
have a three story brick building
worth about $4,000 which is a credit
to the entire state.
Being a seaport town, and the pop,
ulation vastly cosmopolitan, there is
apparently very little race friction.
I hardly think that the race will
lose its identity in this state for
black predominates every where.
While there are not as many young
boys and girls who graduate each
year as there should be, they have
some inspiration to climb to loftier
heights, for II he or she desires, they
can readily find place or make 1t

own people here.

coLoREp MEMS CHANCES IN
THE SOUTH.

There is not a city, town or village
in the South where an industrious
negro cannot obtain employment and
receive fair treatment at the hands Of
his white neighbors. There Is not
the least doubt that the relations OF
the two races in the South are today
vastly better than they were 10 years
ago, and we believe it is due in large
measure to the fact that the negroes
are beginning to understand that
those who have the kindest feeling
and most sympathy for them are the
white people among whom they have
been born and reared.-New Orleans
