“BITTER SWEETS."
There is a saying, so old that it
origin is forgotten, and so true tliot none
will question it. that "behind each cloud
is a silver lining, every sweet has its
bitter.”
With her recognized progressiveness
and with that degree of public spirit
so ' which characterizes Atlanta, and places
100 j her far ahead of would-be competitors,
50 | Georgia's capital city has taken the lead
| in a move which is of utmost importance
i to the entire state, a move which meets
approbation on every hand and the bene
fit of which will be felt long after those
who gave it its inception have made
their last long journey.
Reference is made hero to the normal

The deliberations of the Presbyterian
general assembly, which had under con
sideration the caae of Itev, Dr. Briggs, of
New York, who Is being tried for horesy
at Detroit, wore interrupted Thursday by
the sudden death of Judge S. W. Brock*
enridge, of St. Louis. Judge Breckcn-
rldge had just about closed an address
giving an exposition of the position of
the assembly toward Dr, Briggs, when
he fell to the tloor and expired in a few
seconds.

As old speech of Jefferson Davis is
being recalled, in which he referred to
an Incident In the career of Governor
Hancock, of Massachusetts, President
Washington visited Boston, and the gov
ernor refused to call on him because in
any state the governor was a blggor man
than the president so far as that state
was concerned, and Washington should
have called on him. That was states'
righta and sovereignty with a ven
geance, yet Massachusetts departed far
from the doctrines of her patriarchs and
led the movement to destroy the dignity
of statehood.
before the last days of June or tho be
ginning of July. The result is that the
larger percent of tho teachers of tho
state will find that it is impossible for
them to attend tills school so generously
oponed to them. They will find that
when they arc ready aud anxious to
avil themselves of this normal course
tho only opportunity of doing so is
closed to them.
The opening and closing days of these
schools are fixed by usage as old as the
schools themselves, and they cannot bo
changed.
But provision can be made for these
teachers.
In support of his resolution to estab
lish this school Mr. Moran niado the
point that those who aro to havo charge
of It were employed, and paid, by the
city of Atlanta for the entire year. Xow,
os a rule, no schools In tho state begin
their fall term before September or Oc
tober. Tlioso in Atlanta do not, so the
teachers could devote their attention to
this normal school at any time between
the day fixed for the opening of the
school and tho opening of tho public
schools of Atlanta after tho summer va
cation.
Then-
Let Mr. Moran and those who aro sup
porting him in this matter fix the (lato
for tho normal school for some time in
July or August, when all tho teachers
of tho state can avail thomselvcs of tho
opportunity so generously offered to
them; giving thoso who aro to instruct
in tho normal school say a month's vaca
tion before they take up those duties,
and another vacation beforo they havo
to resume their daily routine.
The results of this would ho mani

The instructors would feel better pre

•■ONLY A FLAGMAN."
A terrible accident happened on the L.
A N. near this place last night. The c..aehea
acre ruined beyond repair and thedaningc
will amount to thousands of dollars. Only
a Itagman was killed.
That is the massage; cruel in Its
brevity, couched In such words as make
a thoughtful person shudder at the
thought of what little space is devotod
to the fate of the dead man; which
Hashed over the wires from Xashville to
tho great papers of tho country a day or
so ago.
"Only a llagman was killed."
Poor fellow! while at Ms post of duty,
without a moment's warning, ho was
hurled Into eternity. The papors spread
his obituary to the world, but how cold
and rolentlcss were the words, how little
tribute was paid to a man who died
away from home at his post of duty, a
man who had started low down to work
to the top.
“Only a llagman was killed."
Yet the accident was a terrible ono
for "tho coaches wero ruined beyond re
pair and tlie damage will amount to
thousands of dollars." While carrying
out his duties the correspondent who
sent that special was thoughtful enou rh
of the owners of those cars, of the stock
holders of that road, to toll them that
their cars wero "ruined beyond repair,”
but lie put himself not to the trouble of
Hading out the name of the pale dead
man, whose faco he saw upturned to a
pale May moon. Xo one would he In
terested in that, he was only a wage
earner, hit living or dying would have
no effect on this stock or on that securi
ty; no funeral cortege of vaat propor
man,” hut still he was near aud dear to
some ono. Some old gray haired wo
man, w ith wasting form aud wrinkled
checks, no doubt, had a light out that
very night as a signal to her boy that she
was well and awaited tho day when lie
would send a portion of tho pittance
which he was earning to keep the wolf
of starvation from feeding on her ema
ciated body. Somebody else, no doubt,
treasured a lock of hair from the brow
of that flagman, who looked forward to
the day when lie would be a conductor
and make her ids bride. But without a
note of warning he met his death, the
dreail monster sealed his lips, perhaps,
as he was uttering a prayer for that
mother and that loved one. Death -took
him while lie was at his post of duty
and Ills young life and his hopes went
out in the twinkling of an eye. Yet his
obituary was:
"Only a Hagman was killed.”
How many flagmen are there around
us? We cannot all occupy high places.
But how much better would bo tho
world if in life we were to speak a kind
word or lend a helping hand to these
flagmen instead of hastening to do hum
ble homage to the stockholders and the
owners. If we wore to do this life would
be more worth the living, and when tho
humblest of us all come to die the wires
would no more Hash the words:
“Only a llagman was killed.”
"OIJAItn WELL THY TONGUE.”
Apropos of the discussion in Atlanta
over Itev. J. B. Culpepper’s language in
the course of a sermon recently preached
by him, to “men only,” it may bo re
called, witii aptness, that a Georgian,
honored of men, who has passed to the
beyond once said that:
“If half of tho people in the world had
half of their tongues cut off there would
not be as much miscldcf by half.”
There is no reckoning the amount of
harm that lias been done by unbridled
and unchaste tongues, and it is more
than well for one and ail to think twice
before speaking. Especially docs this
seem truo of preachers who under divine
inspiration are attempting to save men's
souls for the God who gave them.
Mr. Culpepper should weigbte his
words.
But, whether ho does or not, and that
is not a matter for Tiie Times-Kecoh-
her to decide, no ono can earnestly
argue that sensational preaching docs
good. On the other hand nine tenths of
the people are ready to. admit that it
does moro harm than otherwise.
Than the Times-Becoudeii Mr. Cul
pepper can find no paper on the top side
of this green globe that has more respect
for Ids calling. Than the people of
Amerlcus no peoplo delight more to
honor and respect a Christian man, or
woman, no matter in what walk of life
they may bo found. Suckling babes at
their mother's breast feed on this honor
and respect, it is taught to tho boys and
girls and the grown people are fully im
bued with it. Still but few, if any, of
them have any appreciation of the sen
sational In preaching.
That kind of work attracts crowds; so
docs a circus, but it does not edify.
A few years ago the writer heard a
preacher, who is now attracting wide
attention, declare: “I am as puro and
spotless os Jesus Christ. I am like that
palm to which no dust can cling. Xo
sin permeates me.”
Is to he supposed that that man’s
preaching did any good? Is it to bo
thought that his egotism imbued bis
hearers with any confidence In him?
They left that church disgusted; yes, In
sulted, yet they went back—to soe what
tho man would say next time.
Tiure in ay bo thoso who will read this
man's natno between tho lines. Be that
as it may it cannot bo said that he was a
credit to that earnest band of conscien
tious Christian workors of which he
claimed to be a member.
Be they Methodist, Baptist or what
they will. Be they bishop or circuit
rider, or be they the ablest or the poor
est, most stammering fort of men in
their denomination all honor to the men
who have taken up themselves and aro
devoting their time and talents toward
getting others to take up the burden of
the meek and lowly Xazarene. The
TiuesBecorrer is not disposed to
decry them, hut It bids them God speed.
At the same time It ventures to advise
Mr. Culpepper, and all others of his
stamp, that it would be a splendid Idea
to guard their tongues well, to speak the
truth, and to speak nothing that would
be unmeet for pure woman’s ears.
