lodging bullets over in France an,
helping to bring the Kaiser to hi
knees, we Americans are lodging tn
"fiu bullets" over here, and some o.
US are getting our knees callouset
and so doing, for we are just livinl
on them. People are praying nov
who never prayed before since they
have been in the world and that i:
putting it mildly.
1t is nice to be in Texas just al
this time and l have been down here
trying to keep from being hit by a
"fiu bullet" for am told that if one
of them things hit you, you are not
here for long. l have stayed away
from the Texas "flu" thus far, al
though / have had the New York and
the Philadelphia "fiu," and hope not
to have any more, for if / do l will
not be in the world long.
The man who has never had it
don't know what it is, but l doubt
very much if the man who has had it
knows what it is, but that is not a
matter for discussion, for some of
them have reported to God and others
are thanking God that He did not call
on them to report. If you don't be-
lieve it is in Texas just ask Rev. L. K.
Williams, for he has been down here
and he has been in the swim also.
There are many people who have
started from humble homes in this
country and have made their way
to the top round, and / am constantly
meeting with them and when i do
meet them it makes me feel like
shouting and then it makes me feel
like shedding real tears. But / fear
the food gate has gone dry and it
would be hard for me to shed a tear.
Are you happy? If you are then
want to bring to your attention a
nan who has been boy in Alabama,
ust like other boys. He has strapped !
With the humble bees when he tried to
possess their honey. He has slipped
way from his mother and gone swim
ming in the real river, and then got
tut alive. He has been in the public
chool, and then to other schools,
ust like other boys. He got through
he public school, and took on a little
more education in the state normal
chool right here in Montgomery with
'ther boys, and then he went to
Toward University and took on his
touch, coming out a first
lass doctor without practice, and if
ou will believe me and listen to
that / tell you he has had some real
ractice.
have taken all this time to pre-
emit to you DR.. Richard Hamilton,
tho is just over the draft age, for
e has been knocking around and
cen knocked around in this world {
nee March 81, 1869. He was not
orn in Montgomery, but near Mont ,
emery. {
Now this little ugly boy, who kept {
IS mother busy half-soling the bosom {
{ his trousers, decided that there
as something in this world for him
nd he was going to have it, and he 6
as gotten it too, for he has been a i
.rvant of the people, rendering the 8
est and highest service, keeping 7
me people out of heaven and some q
1t of the place of perpetual sum-
er where the wind was never known I
blow. That's his business to cheat
saven and hell out of souls when i
S hoodo will work. He is one t
the best physicians in this section C
the country, and / say nothing I
'out race or color. He is just what y
e doctor ordered when it comes to a
al racial service. / like to see a
an who knows his business when he h
mes to humping on my chest, look d
g in my mouth and feeling my arm, r
ID cutting a part Of me away. f
