DAMN” — 8ACRED AND SECULAR
USE OF THE TERM.
The Macon Nows brings us tho Btory
of a divine of the Church of England,
the vicar of St. Chrysostom's, Brad
ford, who rocently decided to take an
active part In politics by denouncing
the new Education Bill from I ho pul
pit. Ho resolved, moroovor, to make
his intentions known, and to this end
he cast about for some striking means
of advertisement—some violent phrase
or strong term bound to attract atten
tion. Merely to announce "a series of
sermons on the Education Bill’ 1
seemed to him too mild and Insipid.
He thougkt of Inserting a mark of In
terrogation after “education," but tho
device was a little hackneyed, and not
sufficiently startling In effect. What
he wanted was some good, lusty,
swinging word, that would make the
reader open Ills eyes.
He thought of damn. He thought of
It lovingly. Damn was a desirable
word—It had just the right force—It
was sure to strike the eye. But was It
permissible? he asked himself; was It
not a little profane? He reasoned with
himself, and the more he reasoned the
bettor It seemed to his secular under
standing, and tho less profane It
sounded to his sacred understanding.
Accordingly, ho Inserted a card In the
papers announcing a series of sermons
on;
THE
DAMNABLE
EDUCATION (?) BILL.
A few days latfer the Yorkshire Dally
Obesrver published an apology from
the same hand. The church people, it
aeemB, had been mightily offended, and
the Vicar approached them with a con
trite heart—but hot without a plea in
extenuation. Hear his argument:
"The word I used Is, I grant, one of
the most expressive of abhorrence In
the English language. That was how
It appeared to me when -I first thought
of It. By looking more ■ closely Into
the word It seemed less,and less pro
fane, until It appeared to have no oth
er than Its etymological meaning of
'hateful' or 'pernicious.' Consulting
the human side of my disposition, t
have come to the conclusion that there
Is nothing within the range of my own
secular knowledge which says I am
not justified In using It, and thnt, un
der tho circumstances, those who do
not Bee eye to eye with me are falling

Nevertheless, he apologizes for hav
ing made use of an expression "un

Irreverent," but he Is careful to Inform
the objectors that It is only the "In
spired Word" thnt tells him so and
that the secular part of him Is unite
at ease. Thus;

ROUTING FREIGHT.
We note that the Georgia Peach
Growers' Association, which was In
session In .Macon yesterday, resolved
that, owing to the arbitrary methods
adopted by the Pennsylvania railroad
In raising rates, and In Increasing
weights, to ship all peaches for New
York and New England points via the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
The peach growers are clearly with
in their rights In selecting the line or
lineB over which they will ship their
product, but If the railroads treat them
lllte they do other shippers they will
pay very little, If any, attention to
them In the routing of their ship
ments.
It would seem by all rules and prin
clples by which business affairs are
regulated that a shipper ought to con-
trol or direct the route over which his
shipment shall go, he being the patron
and paying the freight, but the rail
roads, as a general thing, route ship
ments to suit themselves and accord
ing to such understandings as con
necting lines may have between them
selves.
The Herald has recently' had some
experience In the routing of freight,
and we have learned thnt shipping di
rections and hills of lading are utterly
Ignored by the railroads. Frequently
shipments are diverted In traqslt from
the route designated by the shipper
and stipulated In the bill of lading is
sued at the shipping point, and delays
are Incurred which are sometimes very
annoying. And when freight has thus
been diverted froiti the route which
the shipper Intended and directed'it
Should take,'It is difficult to trace It
after delay has developed.
Something should be done to guaran
tee to shippers the right to have their
shipments take the routes selected
and designated for them and to break
np the pooling arrangements which
the railroads have for parceling out
shipments from given points.
