PUBLIC OPINION

Not Against Individuals.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
To correct the very mistaken opin-
ion most people have of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, we
would like to say, that our fight for
temperance is not against the saloon
men personally, but against the bust
ness in which they are engaged. Most
Of the saloon keepers have fine per-
sonality and we deem IL great pity
that these otherwise big men, should
use there power in 80 vile manner.
If their energies were put in the
right channels, what vast amount OF
good could be done, instead Of which
5000 men are sent to a drunkard's
grave every year IN our America.
And the families Of God alone
knows how many men are destitute;

by historians that in one village, not
far removed from Jacksonville, he
found 300 scalps of men, women aud
children, many Of them still fresh,
hanging on a war pole. Gen. Jackson
knew that the Spaniards were in SYM
pathy with the Indians in their attacks
on American settlers. After cleaning
up a number of Indian villages he cap
tured the Spanish post Of st. Marks.
For this act he was severely censured
by his government. However, the
naked fact is that "Old Hickory was
more courageous than the men who
were conducting the affairs of state
at Washington.
Early in May, 1918, Gen. Jackson
closed his campaign against the Sem
inoles in East Florida. He had COM
pletely broken their power and run
them out of the territory. They caused
no more serious trouble.
During his campaign in East Florida
Gen. Jackson obtained satisfactory ev-
idence that Spanish officers at Pensa-
cola were in sympathy with the In
dians. He promptly decided to march
against them and teach them lesson.
The Spanish governor Of West Florida,
learning of Gen. Jackson's purpose,
sent him written protest against his
invasion. This protest is now on file
among the Jackson documents in
charge OF the Tennessee Historical
Society at Nashville. The protest was
delivered to Gen. Jackson near Pensa-
cola on May %. but it had no effect on
that determined man. In reply he sent
a peremptory demand for the imme-
diate surrender of Pensacola and Bar.
rancas. Jackson advanced Immediate
ly on Pensacola and possessed it. Two
days later the Barrancas garrison
capitulated, were received as prison
ers of war and sent to Havana.
Having thus snatched both East and
West Florida from the Indians and
Spaniards, Gen. Jackson at once pro-
ceeded to establish provisional gov
ernment under the stars and stripes.
Having accomplished this, he return
ed to Tennessee, then his home.

Jacksonville was named for Gen.
Andrew Jackson as a compliment and
mark Of appreciation for services he
rendered to civilization in the Semi
mole War. There could have been no
progress or civilization in Florida but
for the work Of Andrew Jackson. Con-
ditons in this territory in 1918, nearly
a hundred years ago, demanded the
services OF a brave and resolute man.
Gen Jackson was selected by the gov
ernment as the one man above all
others to head the movement against
the Seminole Indians, who had been
terrorizing the territory for several
years and committing atrocities OF the
most brutal character.
In March, 1918, Gen. Jackson was
ordered to the site Of the Seminole

crushed these Indians. 1t is related
