Thenemolntion passed by the board
of education in Atlanta that colored
teachers should be employed in flro col
ored public schools in that city, crea
ted a'little ruffle in the minds of the
colored Ipooples’ '.f«'i#nds(?J in the
North. Judging from the sentiment
tittered by the organ of the Northern
Mfetfoodist chnrch, it is evident that
tttnt church believes that the Southern
negro- befongs to it, and it proposes to
manage him 1 religioasiy ae well as
politically.
Some Democratic papers evidently
manifest a hope that the party t will
carry the State of Ohio at its next
gubernatorial campaign* That State
Was such a reputation for corruption
at the polls, that we cannot see that
ii* would be any honor to the Demo
cratic party. The fonlest political
oomiptw»» is associated with the very
name- of that State: A v bureau of em
igration from that State of Republi
oaotr ought to be established’to- at least
partially purify its politics.]
Ik may be well for the people 1 of
Georgia that Dr. Felton is a member
of the legislature. No member of the
General' A3aen»b!jr champions the 3n--
tferests ot the people with «sucb force
»nd decision as Dr. Felton. We find
him in the lead in every movemont,
leaking to the- general interest of the
people,-with equally as much vigilance
and effort in their protection as any
individual ever excises over their pri
vate interests There are certain pol
iticians and political cliques about the
capitbl' that this- sentiment wifi not
ptease, but watch that the masses do
not give it express endorsement.
Any- half-witted mind can |easily
recognize that the whiskey rings are
using every possible effort to manipu
late the Democratic party to serve
their ends- hi the Sontfc.. They ac
cuse 1 the temperance people of running
prohibition into politics, when they
themselves are- using their utmost en
dbavor to secure a plank in the party
platform? preventing legislation ad
verse t» their interests. Judging from
the ioiukiese ok their professions, their
interests ia the party rar exceeds the
common patriotism of the country.
It will be well for the people to watch
this point. No where in the South
do the temperance people desire to en
tangle the prohibition issue with com
mon politics.
As to the sale of the State road, we
are hardly prepared to give a decided
opinion as to whether it would be
best or not. There is too much of a
disposition on the part of the press to
take a position for or against the sale
without reference tothe circumstances.
Thera are a great many things to be
considered. Will the title remaining
in the state better serve the people;
what will be the rental compared with
the interest on the money it would
bring if Sold, etc. But, like many
others, we are inclined to prefer the
road to be owned and leased by the
state. There is something beyond a
mere pecuniary benefit to be consider
ed in the State’s owning aud control
icg such property.
Beginning Again,
When sometimes our feet grow Woafy
On the rugged hills of life,
The path stretches long and dreary
With trials and labor rife,
We pause on the rtpward joafrney,
Glancing backward o'er valley ana gldn
And sigh with an infinite longing
To return and "bogin again."
t'of behind is the dew of the morning
With all its freshness and light,
And before Os doubts and shadows;
And the chill find gloom of the night:'
And wo think of the silftny places
We passed so carlessly then,
And we sigb,“o‘ Father permit ffic
t To returh and begin again."
Wo think of the many dear onus,
Whose lives touched ours, at times,-
Whose loving thoughts and smiles
Float back like vospe? chimes;
And sadly remcttbeT burdens,
We might have lightened them,—
And gfadly Would We ease titan*
Could we “begin again!”
And yet,how vain tfcto seeking!
Life's duties press all of Mor*' *
And who would shrink from' thto burdfenr
Or sigh for the sunshine that’s gonef
And H may be, not far on before ns,
Wait fairer places than then:
Out path may lead by still’ Waters,
Though- we may not “begin agaifr/*.
,2,Yet upward and onward forever
Be our path on ths bfflr of lifef ’
Bat ere long a radiant dawning
Will glorify trial a it’d strife,
And our Father's hand 1 Will lead u's
Tenderly upward then, —
In the joy and praoe of the better world
He’ll lot us “begin again; ”
Some fellow writes to an Atlanta
paper fora recipe to make root beer,
says the ,‘prohis” has got him.
In interrogating members of the
legislature from various sections of
the Srate, ttae tact is reached that the
general crop prospect in the State is
better than at any time bince the wai
Gwinnett and DcKalb counties are
in dispute as to their dividing line.
A still is located uear or on the
line, and the dispute seems to have
arisen from the fact that both coun
>ties waut to tax tlio still.
Joba Rvan, a millionaire merchant
of Atlanta-, made a deed of gift of
property valtted at $325 000 to his
two sons last week. He began busi
ness in Atlanta near forty yeatff ago
with a capital stock oft about $1,200.
The Atlanta Constitution devotee
no little amount of space in advertis
ing the Georgia watermelon. Atlan
ta seems to be- the distributing point

> A' boy in Atlanta has brought suit
against the W, A A. railroad company
by liitr next frieDd, claiming $25,000
damages for being run over by one of
their cars in* the city and getting his
arm crushed. Hoke Smith is his attor
ney, and he is one who- does not rep
resent many such cases that are
worthless.
Will it be written in the history of
our country that President Cleveland
refused to visit the G. A. R. during
its encampment at St. Lonis because
certain members threatened to insult
him if ho did? The truth of the fact
demonstrates the mean and low con
temptible spirit of a large element in
the Republican party.
How much did Bill Arp get for
writing that “puff” on the Mooteagle
summer resort ? Monteagle, no doubt,
is an excellent summer resort/ —pre-
tending nor claiming anything beyond
what it is, yet the or
rather managers, have more “cheek”
in asking for free advertising, than
any patent medicine firm that ever
came to our notice.
Sappose the legislature recommends
that the lessees of the State road be
paid for betterments, will Gov. Gor
don veto the bill? We do not think
the legislature will ever enact such a
recomondateon, but there is some
manifestation ot a disposition te draw
the Governor out on this matter. But
we thiuk it would be improper in the
Governor’s spending his private opin
ion relative to the matter. He may
have to act on it officially.
Other resolutions relative to tba
State road lease have been introduced
in the legislature. One is to appoint
a joint committee from both branches
ot the Assembly to confer with the
lessees as to what their demands are;
the other to appoint a similar com
mittee to Investigate and report to the
General Assembly the characterof the
rolling stock and other improvements
placed on the road by the lessees and
claimed by them as betterments*
Killed in its Mothers ArttlS
A prominent Confederate officer
stated to ns a few days ago that dur
ing the siege of Atlanta In 1864 a lady
came to the confederate army head
quarters aud asked for relief in the
way of provisions* etc. She stated
that the day before, While she was
walking (hrottgb her yard carrying her
baby, a cannon shot from one ot Sher
man’s batteries suddenly struck the
little one and knocked it irora her arms
leaving scarcely a fragment erf its re
mains visible, while she herself was
altogether trubnrt,
This, the gentleman stated to fls,
was the most remarkable occurrence
of the kind he had ever heard of in
the history of warfare. We may add
that it was also as touchingly sad as it
was remarkable. God grant that the
horrors ol war may not again be Visit

Speaking in reference to commuta
tion of Holman’s sentence, the Dalton
A rocs very eotsmendably says:
We charge that sympathy lor Hoi-*
man’s mother has saved his neck. Is
there nothing behind this? There is
but one other proposition. The people
who are opposed to capital punish

Jy a few years since our laws were
modified to allow discretion ot juries in
recommending to mercy. This was
forced upon the statutes because the
point had been readied where it was
almost impossible to eonvict of mnrder
under onr jury system. Does the state
ot affairs now pending demand lartner
action by our laW-makers?
We believe that it does. Between a
farce of a jurv system, the emotional
character of onr people, and the al
most irresolute influences to which a
Governor iff subjected, followed by a
penitentiary system that only rates the
character of its subjects hy the money
they can earn, if the devil lias not
“broke loose in Georgia,” thore is cer
tainly a smooth way paved lot his
coming.
PENCIL POINTS.
Dr. Poitou 1b making a record io the legii*
latare that means something'. n
It has been stated that Mr. Cleveland does
not expend mere than half his salary.
Texas'anti prohibition paper are confident of
success, at least they put on that appearance.
A member of tho General Assembly boasts
that Sle has never introduced- a bill or made a
speech:
People are dying like sheep in the crowded
tenements of New York, during this hot
weather.
The bigest B»akn.<itory oWie season comes
from Bainbridge, Ga. It wasNvlled: measur
ing ten feet long.
President Grevy is receiving congratulations
on all sides, lie is very popular with the
French Republic at present. *
It is eighty days from this morning(includ
ing Sundays) until the gates of the Piedmont
exposition are opened to the public.
In New York there are 2,300 Simth3. It
is a tribute to the honesty of. tho tribe
it is seldom that one of the number is arrest
fed for crime. *
Rich and unscrupulous men are rS *s much
danger of being sent to the penitentiary as
any one, as is illustrated in the case of Jacob
Sharp of New York City.
Tho interstate commission will take a re
cess on August 1. No doubt tho people will
hope that they will continue the recess for
the balance of the year.
In hot weather every man'shoald keep in
mind the word “abstain.” Too much eating
and too much drinking make many corpses
at this time of the year.
The horrid cigarett pictures must go. The
ladies are in earnest, and will figbt the battle
vigorootly* We wish them success, A report
of a second meeting was given in our columns
yesterday. f
Gov. Lee, of Virginia, grants a condemed
murderer sixty days' respite to save his boul.
The time is rather Bhort for a man who has
deliberately and maliciously taken the life
of another. It may be, however, that the
souls cf Virginia murderers are easily saved.
R. B. Hayes served one term in Congress
and made no record. lie served one term in
the office ef President with a like result. His
experience, however, 6eems to have fitted him
for chicken raising, and no doubt be is satis
fied.
Old Ben Davis lived alone in West Virgin
ia wilderness, and some one passed by a few
days ago and told him ho had b«en left a for
tune of $85,000 in England. Next day*some
one went to look for him and found him
hanging to a troe. |
The statement is made that most ef the
members of the General Assembly spond
Sundays at home. Thus the railroad pass
is an aid to religion, for, of course, no mom
ber of the General Assembly would dare to
spend his Sundays at home without going];to
church.
A claim of $3,500 has just been recovered
against the Central railroad company at
Rarnosville, Ga., in favor of a merchant of
that place as damages caused by the great
fire of 1884, which was caused by the loco
motive throwing sparks on seme cotton lying
on the rajfcpad wharf. All the claims made
against the railroad company amount to $126,
000, and they will undoubtedly have* it to
pay.
