The White Widow Kicked Out:
The Negro BIan Kept I'm. why
is This, Senator Smith?

Fl AIRY S. EDWARDS is our most original
literary genius since Edgar A. Poe. Like
Poe In his lifetime, he is not appreciated.
He was holding the Postmaster's place in
Macon and his term was not out In law it
IS doubtful whether he could have been dis
missed, without cause.
But this literary genius, this competent off
cial was summarily discharged when the
Democratic administration came in.
1t was the same way in Atlanta: q 2ch5te

notice that the negro paper in Atlanta,
1'he Indepondent is booming two great ideas,
one OF which is that ne mast treat the 6JacIs
as equals, and the other is, that we must elect
Senator Smith to the U. S. Senate.
Those are the two boom thoughts of the
negro paper.
This fact causes me to remember that 12,-

that was staunch friend of Claud LEngle
and his paper 'Dixie" during all those early
years OF their struggles to get on their feet.
In those days, Dixie found Jordan hard
road to travel. It was fighting the Flagler
crowd, and the Lumber Trust and the Naval
Supplies gang, which were so powerful in
Jacksonville, and in Florida politics.
This greedy gang of buccaneers owned
Senator TaliaferrQ. acquired Bill of Sale to
Senator Fletcher, made an asidious ape out of
Congressman SparEman, debauched at least
one Florida Legislature, and was vehemently
suspected of owning at least a half interest
In several Florida judges.
With the fight which Claud L'Engle made
upon these looters Of his great State, I was
in the heartiest sympathy; and that sympathy
was SO outspoE1en, in public and in private,
that [ incurred the venomous hatred of such
corporation sheets as the Jacksonville Times
Union.
When L'Engle offered for national office, I
gave him all the aid in my power, freely and
without reward.
just as unselfshly as always stood up for
Governor Broward, Congressman Lamar, and
John n. G. Stockton, stood up for L'Engle.
There wasn't friend Of mine in Florida who
was not made more or less friend Of L'Engle
because of my persistent friendship to him.
Soon after his successful race for Congress,
l could not help noticing a change in the
tone of 'Dixie."
It did not read like the same paper. But
that of itself was none of my business nor did
/ seek to make it So
The last time came through jacksonville
on my way home to Georgia, called at the
Dixie office to see L'Engle, just as [ called at
my friend John Stockton's office to pay my
respects to HIM.
The acknowledgement which L'Engle made
to me of the help that my friendship had
been to him in winning his then recent vic
tory was heard by Hon. Geo. G. Matthews,
and several other gentlemen who we're present
in the "Dixie" office.
Among these gentlemen, was Mr.. Charles
3. Jones, then and now an Associate editor on
the "Dixie" paper.
Not long after this friendly interview, [
noticed that Charles E. Jones had gone miles
out of his way to harshly criticise Jackson
vile lecturer Cor preacher, forget which)
who had delivered inside some building, a
lecture showing up the dangers of the SYSTEM
Of p0pe4y.
The general trend of the lecture was the
same as that of Rev. W. L. Pickard, of Savan-
nah-to show the utter contradiction, and
5peV5ta65e conflict between popery, and our
American institutions.
Mr.. Jones properly had no business to be
criticising this lecture at ALL It was not
delivered on "the street corner" and it was
not vulgar, incendiary, or anything else cen
surable.
Mr. Jones' uncalled for criticism Of the lee
ture was so evidently done for some particular
effect, that / wrote him brief note about it,
which he can publish if he wants to.
lie did not reply.
1t now transpires that Claud L'Engle sold
"Dixie" fifteen months ago. That statement
is made in the Feb. %, 1914, issue of the
