federate veterans. and In his loss we
not only lose our historian. but one
OF the strongest ties that bound Camp
Jackson together. We cannot express
our deep grief at his loss, for his go
ing almost breaks us up. The knowl
etlge that he has gone to join that
great band on the other side Is our
consolation; for we know that he Is
with all those other brave souls and
will await our coming and give glad
welcome to the remnant of Camp
Jackson when our last call shall come,

only faithful friend, but true to all
trusts

the flour market to advance so con-
tinuously and rapidly that the May

ell and cash wheat in ST. Louis has
gone to $270 bushel This con-
dition also will come up at the con-

C!IYS NEGROES
READY To FIGHT
PASTOR MAKES PATRIOTIC AP.
PEAL TO WHICH coNGREGA.
TiON RESPONDS.

Brunswick's unquestioned patrio-
tism even predominatcs its colored
population, according to Rev. Fl. f.
Taylor, pastor of the First A. M. e.
church, colcred. which made test OF
it Sunday night following the sermon
among his congregation.
Z Closing the sermon, he made a pa
triotic appeal to his congregation,
which is, perhaps, the largest col
orod congregation in the city. Among
other things, he told them that this
government has been mistreated and
insulted by the German government
until our government was compelled
90 declare state Of war exists.
Negroes" declared DR.. Taylor,
have ever been loyal to this land
where they have had opportunities
unequaled in the world. We must
now be ready to do whatever service
we can to our country again.
Not only is the United States MAX
ing 8. fight for the freedom of people
throughout the world. They are MAX
ing fight to give millions of negroes
in Africa a chance to be governed
with the same humanity that we are
governed. Under the Kaiser's domin-
ions in German African colonies, the
militarism which has governed those
colonies has caused horrible tortures
and strange acts TO be committed on
the simple. patient negroes there lln-
Til the whole world became shocked
and the outraged public opinion OF
white people throughout the world
forced a change of conditions for 4
while.
Feet of sick men, women and even
tiny children were torn off because
hey could not do all the work their
taskmasters commanded them to do
And when white missionaries pro-
tested to the United States, the gov
ernment there said it was the only
way they could get the negro to work.
1t seems they don't have to do such
things under the God blessed stars
and stripes to make negroes work.
Yet Germany asks that as terms OF
peace for invading Belgium and vio-
lating Belgium's neutrality, the Kai-
ser should have Belgium's African
possessions
Following the patriotic appeal, the
pastor requested everyone who was
ready to serve their country in any
capacity to rise to their feet. Not a
single person. not even a child, kept
their seats.

"Moonshine" was the title of the
lecture delivered in the afternoon he
fore a great Chautauqua audience
yesterday, and the speaker, B. +. Nc
Donald, of Newark, O.. did not hand
ont any of the moonshine he spoke of.
but told the audience some facts
straight from the shoulder regarding
shams and hypocracies of modern life,
to which he attributed many of the
present day social evils.
Honesty, truth and sincerity were
the keynotes of his address as the
cure of problems facing society "Be
just yourselves" he admonished his
hearers THE real people of the
world are the plain, simple, everyday.
unassuming, common, workaday folks
and the problems of society will, many
of them, be solved il the people re-
turn to the simple, natural ways Of
life"
The war crisis touched his address
with hot words of patriotism as he
pointed to numerous examples of his
tory where the ancient autocratic
governments of the world tottered to
their ruin as presage of what is in
store for the rule of the Hohenzol-
.lerns over the German people. He
urged the building Of virile manhood
and womanhood in America, which
through simple life would ensure for
America and the world it's destiny OF
future greatness and future service.
Although not on the afternoon pro-
gram. the Oratorio artists decided not
to disappoint those who had expected
them, and Reed Miller sang, accom-
panied by piano, several selections.
which were enthusiastically encored.
In the evening the artists were en-.
cored time after time by an extra
highly appreciative musical audience
until they had to admit their reper-
toire was too limited to continue re.
sponding to the encores. 1--WE check
cd our trunks in Jacksonville and we
have used all selection that were in
our grips" Mr.. Miller explained after
being repeatedly called back again
In Progress hall the dancing class
was inaugurated, and the children's
work started during the afternoon.
The Chautauqua has been likened 10
a young child, each day unfolding
new wonders. And today's program
shows the truth Of the saving. Both
afternoon and evening the Indian
Princess Watahwaso will sing her In
dian songs and tell her Indian leg
ends and in the evening she will
demonstrate the dances of her tribe
The musical part OF the program
which is never secondary. will this

artists.

ing Indian legends. She is yonng and
beautiful. vivacious and gifted with a
personality one seldom meets on the
