THE COLONEL TALKS RIGHT.

The light OF American liberty can
never again be obscured by the dark,
such as European tyranny; "its glori-
Gus sun had nearly set in the gloom OF
an eternal night" when the screams
OF eagles from the sides and peaks OF
the mountains of England's colonies,
responsive to the martial music OF hfe
and drum, awoke the pioneers OF our
freedom to a victorious struggle for
self-government. The magic voice OF
Patrick Henry, the undaunted patriot
and statesman, filled their hearts with
valor and strung their sinews with
strength 10 do hattie for the God
given cause the supremest that ever
glorified a people. Each one, bred In
the belief that he was born upon earth
In His image, took up the cry OF
"Give me liberty or give me DEATH"
Avaunt! you degenerate weakllngs
OF industrious sires: they acquired for
you by honorable competition in trade
with their fell0wmen the fortunes you
inherited, to which you are adding
through every conceivable method OF
unfair dealings and expressions TO-
wards others, to be made colossal that
you may succeed in destroying the
only fabric Of government in existence
in which individuality should have
opportunity to find IA foOthOld and
reap commensurate reward for human
cndeavOr.
The power OF the government is
being stolen by you, through corrup.
tiOn bought-executive, legislative
and judicative-to aid in fostering,
protecting and ultimately carrying
out your audacious schemes OF robbng
US OF the precious boon, freedom and
independence, we are heirs to from
the fathers.
What a proud privilege it is to fight

subservience To soldier as Il mercenary
slave to titled rulers or moneyed

Editor Democrat-Star
"Br'er Sammy" is here. He is at the
old camp ground. He preached last
night. His text was: "As an eagle
stirreth up her nest, fl ntterest over her
young, spreadeth abroad her wings,
taketh them, beareth them on her
wings" Well, Mr.. Editor, he preached
first-class and was getting along all
right until the eagle began to "stirreth,"
then he began to ''futterate" and the
first thing we knew, he-Br'er Sammy
had got on that eagles wings and flew
out among the congregation, and
preached and preached and preached. l
tell you he was so happy he made ev-
erybody happy and me too. Some
white men got so excitedly happy that
they got up on the benches forgetting
that even at negro camp-meeting the
name gentleman is respected) and tried
to get on the eagles wings to soar to
realms above. OF course the good sisters
moaned and groaned while "Br'er Sam
my" and the eagle "fiuttereth" and did
much good in the "stirreth."
"Br'er Sammy" always draws large
crowd, and he is liked by both white
and black, saint and sinner. He will
continue to preach during the meeting,
and if you feel like "futtereth" or a
''stirreth" is needed "to renew your
spiritual strength" why come and hear
him.
There is a new feature at this camp
meeting in the shape OF a deputy-sheriff.
He is kind of missionary-deputy-
sheriff. He goes out among the booths
and suburbs of the camp grounds and
looks up little boys and women. espec-
tally women, and tells the boys with
stern looks and the women with pleas
ant smile to 90 into the camp and hear
the preaching. | wish was a mission
ary deputy-sheriff. Don't you? When
the meeting closes for keeps, III tell
you all about it, and at the same time
