The i lenry County Weehiv «- j x' j VOL. XXXIX. JUSTICE TO JUDGE REAGAN. The Macon Telegraph Makes Satisfactory Apology For Its Reference to Him. Under the above head The Ma con Telegraph of the 10th instant, very gracefully makes amends for referring to Judge Reagan as an “unfrocked judge.” The Telegraph reached us after we had gone to press with the ar ticle by Hon. O. M. Duke. We give The Telegraph’s edito rial below: “Several days ago, in making some reference to the recent State convention, The Telegraph refer red to Judge Reagan, the chair man of the convention, as an ‘un frocked judge’ —the teim being used in the sense that he was not now on the bench; that he no longer wears the ermine and is not exercising judicial functions. “Since the impression seems to have gone forth that the word carried with it the intimation that he had been ‘impeached’ or had been ‘unfrocked’ by the people at the polls. The Telegraph takes this occasion to say that no such impression was intended. “We say, moreover, that we re gret the use of that word and opologize to Judge Reagan. We do this, not because of any complaint from him, but because we wish to do him peaceful justice that we would have him do us under the circumstances, and because we did not intend the offense which another interpretation might give to the word.” MR.
