UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:146166551 AB - The weekly Jacksonville (FL) Sun [LCCN: sn95047216], a self-declared "Democratic" newspaper, began publication on November 18, 1905 and was suspended on September 12, 1908 for unknown reasons. The Sun was a weekly edition of the Tallahassee (FL) Morning Sun. Both titles were edited by Claude L'Engle (1868-1919), a native of Jacksonville and United States Representative for Florida's fourth Congressional district roughly spanning northeast Florida from Jacksonville to Tallahassee from 1913 through 1915. L'Engle also edited the newspaper Dixie [LCCN sn92060426] in Jacksonville from 1910 through approximately 1913 when he retired. Dixie would be criticized for being against free speech. And, it also reflected L'Engle's anti-Catholic feelings. While the Legislature was in session, the Sun covered the Legislature extensively. Of note in 1907 was the disfranchise by both House and Senate bodies of Florida's African-Americans. It also covered naval stores production, an important part of north/northeast Florida's economy at that time.--E. Kesse, University of Florida Digital Library Center. ER -
