PATRIOTIC MEETING
OF NEGROES
COLORED SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED
AT A M E CHURCH MONDAY
NIGHT
Through arrangements made ny
the pastor, Rev Julius Holman.a literary
and patriotic meeting was held
at 'lethel A M E church here Monday
night. The building was taxed
to iv.s uttermost. Men sat on the altar
rails and steps of the rostrum,
while standing room was at a premium.
Pupils of the Tomlinson high
school, in the rendition of a programme,
acquitted themselves well,
and showed good training on the
part of the principal and teachers.
The main feature of the program
was a detatc. Resolved: That the
United States Government Should
Place an Embargo on Sugar. The
soldier boys who were to leave Tues
day for Carr.p Jackson were present
to be addressed. They sat, some
haggard and worn from having traveled
long distances to reach their
county seat. The grave expression
on their faces seemed to say that
they were looking all the way from
a happy home to the field of blood
in France. Notwithstanding that,
they were cheerful and determined
to go. bational hymns were sung.
Rev Harrington said that "it was
an honor to be an American soldier"
and that "the president of the U S
A would risk his life for the protection
of negro soldiers." RevHolman

Cheer up, and if you never engage
in a battle, the discipline at camp
will make you better men;" also "if
need be, be ready to spill every drop
of blood in you that democracy
might have a world-wide establishment.
If summoned.go on to France
and tell the German Kaiser that if
he has not God with him as he says,
that you have come from America
in the name of the true and living
God, to take his head as a token of
fallen autocracy and to cause democracy
to fill the earth as waters cover
the sea." He emphasized that
they should put their trust in God.
NEW DRYDOCK AT CHARLESTON
Will Make the Navy Yard There Up-toDate
in Every Reaped.
The news from Washington that
the pi ins of the navy department
call for a great new dry dock at
Charleston, which is to cost $4,000,000
and the construction of which ie
to be provided for immediately, is
another grateful surprise to the
people of Charleston. It brings in
sight at last the conversion of the
Charleston Navy Yard into a first
class yard in every respect.
No one has doubted that in time
the action which has now been taken
by Secretary Daniels would come. It
has long been evident that the upbuilding:
of the navy yard facilities
of the United States was of the
largest importance. One of the
main sources of strength of the
British navy, as Admiral Edwards
has pointed out, has been England's
policy of systematically carrying forforward
the work of dry dock augmentation
along with the extension
of her fleet. The progress of the
war has removed the last vestige oi
opposition to the proper development
of the navy yards of this country.
Mr Daniels declared only a
few days ago that the time was not
far distant, he believed, when the
American navy would be the greatest
in the world. We shall need
and must have the shore facilities
for maintaining such a navv.
With this settled, the expansion
of the Charleston Navy Yard into s
first class yard was no longer to be
Questioned. The Helm commision,
in its voluminous report which has
just been submitted to Congress, declared
unequivocally in favor of
Charleston as the one harbor south
of Hatteras at which a development
of the kind contemplated could
be undertaken. Charleston's splendid
harbor, easy of entrance and
with the deepest water along this
coast; landlocked, with anchorage
for all the ships of the navy which
might be assembled here: protected
by Fort Moultrie and its fortifications;
affording a site for the navyyard
sheltered against storms, and

some of the considerations which <
have helped to shape and secure the 1
destiny of the navy yard at Charles- I
ton. 1
All these things have been plain i
and familiar. The only question
was as to when this expansion could
best be undertaken. That was for
the navy department to determine, i
in the light not only of conditions '
here but of the needs of the navy as 1
a whole. The announcement, indicating
that it is to begin at once, is
good tidings, for we are confident
that the moye will be abundantly
justified. The Charleston Navy i

Yard has proved already what it
:an do and we are sure that when
the time comes that its war record
under Capt Bryan can be revealed it
will satisfy the most exacting. The
enlargement that is now at hand has
been earned on merit and is the
best evidence which could be had of
the yard'8 established value to the
navy.?News and Courier.
In reply to inquiries regarding the
possibility of redistilling seized spirits
for alcohol the war department
has announced that the small amount
of alcohol recovered, the cost of
transportation, recopperage, and redistillation
would make the cost to
the government greater than it ia
now paying. The average yield
from confiscated liquor would not
exceed 5 per cent of alcohol.
