NEGROES AT THE CAMPS.
A Sensible Appeal to All the People
of the South.

Today the negro selectmen will be-
gin reporting at Camp Gordon to
prepare themselves for service in uni
form under the American flag.
They are coming exclusively from
points in the South-they are our
own Southern negroes, born and rear
ed among us, and essentially a part
of the man-power of the South. They
are the contemplating negroes; the
descendants of those faithful slave
folk, who, during the civil war, gave
to the world an unparalleled demon
stration of loyalty by faithfully guard
ind and .ministering to the needs of
the dependent women, children and
old men while the capable manhood
of the Confederacy was away on the
battlefelds.
Actuated by the atrocious riots OF
colored regulars at Brownsville, Tex
as, some years ago, and at Auburn
Texas, only recently, there has been
some expressions of misgivings about
the wisdom of assigning of negro Sc
lected men for training in any Sou
thern cantonment.
However, if differed as the recruits
will be, by men of tact, firmness, rea-
son and executive ability, there need
be no apprehension of trouble at
Camp Gordon, nor in Atlanta, if the
civilian population, in its demeanor
toward the colored men in uniform, is
governed only by the spirit of patriot
ism and common sense.
1t is to be hoped that the colored
people, in the service and out of it,
are fully imbued with the fact that
their race is on trial before the nation
today as never before in it's freedom;
and that it's happiness in the future
hinges in no small measure upon the
record it shall make during the Pc
riod of national stress in the face OF
a foreign enemy. And there is plen-
ty of evidence going to show that the
negroes are fully cognizant of this,
and that there is a deep-seated de-
termination among them to make
hat'record a good and creditable one.
AS to the white civilians on the
street, they will do we'll not to lose
sight of the fact that every colored
man in khaki is filling place that
otherwise white man would have to
fill; that he is prepared to face dan
gers that otherwise a white man
would have to face, and that many
of them, perhaps, will lose their lives
on battlefelds-hves as sweet to
them as the white mans life is to
him.
The negro in the service is, like the
white man in the same service, in 1t
because his country needs and has
called him there; and in entering it
he is under the same honorable obll-
cation to do and to die, if necessary,
for his flag and his country's honor.
And if these things are taken into
full consideration, and the proper
spirit of tolerance and the proper
decorum is manifested by both whites
and negroes, each race deporting it
self according to the principles OF
reason, justice and moderation, Camp
Gordon will turn out a complement
of as fine colored troops as ever stood
in uniform, and of which the South
and the entire nation will be proud.
And it will have been done with
ont a ripple of racial discord.-At-
lanta Constitution.

That was a handsome act of Mr..
S. C. Mayfield at the meeting Tues
day, when he offered motion for a
vote of confidence to Congressman
Byrnes for his course in congress
with reference to the war with Ger
many. The resolution shows to the
world that Bamberg people are
sauarely behind the president and
congress in the present crisis, and is
a further expression of their loyalty
and patriotism.
There is no doubt in our mind that
a majority of the people of the State
not only desire but demand that Sen
ator Tillman return to the United
States senate next year. This is no
time to talk about a change. Even
scores of citizens who have the best
interests of the State at heart, and
who are not old-time followers of
Tillman, realize that during the pres
ent crisis it would not do to put a
new man into harness. The senator
has served the State for "a years,
and has thus gained an influence in
the senate that the State cannot af-
ford to lose at this time. There is
also logic in the statement that an
active man should make the race.
This Senator Tillman may be unable
to do, and if it is fact next year
that the senator is not physically
strong enough to wage an aggressive
campaign, why not some one make
the canvass for him? This has been
done before, when it was considered
necessary. If the States interests
demand the return of Senator Till
man. there are men in the State who
have the ability to do the campaign
ing and who should be patriotic and
public-spirited enough to do it.
Farmers are now receiving war
prices for their cotton. 1t is nothing
less than their duty to invest a por-
tion of their war profits in Liberty
bonds. The farmers are more pros
porous than anybody else in the
South, and their prosperity is a di-
rect result of the war. 1t is to be
borne in mind that they are not Civ
ing the government a cent by buying
bonds; rather they are making an
excellent investment paying four per
cent. interest. 1t is a splendid way to
lay aside some savings, and at the
same time help to win the war. Money
is the great factor in the present
war. The several million Allied troops
fighting in the trenches cannot be sus-
tained except by the expenditure of
millions of dollars in supplying am
munition and equipment. The prob
able reason for the present great Of
fensive, which has been pushed with
so much success, is American money
subscribed during the last Liberty
loan. Heretofore it has not been
possible for the Allies to launch an
offensive and keep it up for the lack
of ammunition. The entrance of
America with her millions has en-
abled the British and French to get
plenty of munitions. We can read
the result in the papers every day.
Every dollar invested in bonds hast
ems the end of the war.

Princeton University Head Speaks
at Services on Ellipse.

Characterizing the two hours Sena-
tor Robert NJ. La Toilette spent on
the floor of Congress yesterday in an
enacavor TO vindicate himself and his
stand in the eyes of the country as
wasted" DR.. John Grier -Hibben,
president of Princeton University,
Speaking at the community open air
service on the Ellipse yesterday after
noon scathingly denounced the spirit
which has governed the Wisconsin
leader since the outbreak of war.
DR.. Hibben brought out the fact that
the men in uniform have a right to
know that every American is in back
OF them.
He told his audience there were
three kinds of pacifists. admitting
that he was one in the b ast meaning
or the word. One type. he declared,
Is pro-Germsn: one would rather re-
main in comfort and ease than fight,
and the third is the conscientious OBJ
jector."
ne emphasized the truth that there
are three self-evident present-day
propositions-the supreme duty of
every country and individual to bring
about permanent peace; the necessity
or breaking Germany, and the neces-
sity of fighting to a finish.
Rabbi Abram Simon opened the ex-
ercises with an appropriate prayer.
Kenneth Clark. who led the COM
munity singing, did not need the tang
in the air to aid him in arousing the
people to sing, for his brisk, happy
manner soon had all the audience
joining.

Church last night declared that when
the casualty lists OF American dead
begin to come in from the front In
France. and the nation 10 then aroused
to Its fighting pitch. Mr.. Bryan's
dream OF "a million men sprtnging
TO arms overnight" will then be real
lied. He said:
"The only thing that will unite our
nation will be the slaughter Of our
soldiers on foreign battlefields. When
the news comes across the ocean that
our boys are being killed. America
will wake up. Then our people will
get together and strike Germany her
death blow.
Won't Need Draft.
when the mothers and wives and
sisters and sweethearts Of the land
weep over the dead bodies of our
heroes. then the nation will become
righteously indignant and with the
spirit of '76 the manhood OF the ma
tion will reach up and take down the
musket and go forth to battle as
only Americans can. When our men
are slaughtered our land will thrill
and vibrate with the spirit of patriot
ism and 1t will not be necessary to
draft unwilling men into the serv-
ice.
Then the manhood of the nation
will rush to the front and Mr.. Bryan's
dream of a million men springing to
arms overnight will be a reality
