Trenton,[Ga., Fob. 23 1889. Editor News: When I retired from the’newspaper business and you assumed-Jcontrol in my stead, I then remarked that the patrons I of the News would bo benefited by the change, but it never once occur ed to ip? that your coming would be haiied with such delight, or that your magnanimity would b« so high Unappreciated. It Rooms that pome of your pat rons have been lead to believe that you will convert the News into a denominational paper'and run it h. accordance with th»* v'ew- and to suit the wishes of a fewUvho your favors by the oily tongue of flattery. Now Mr. Editor it is not this against which lam kickiu<r--for it matte.* not to me what kind of a paper vou run—but some 0,.e writingUinder the high Founding nonde plumeof “‘A.

Who this worthy in i vict ual limy bcis a question upon which I have waisted very iittlotini'*. and mv defence against his unjust ao cussations shall consume but very little (more. If we translate cor rectly the hidden meaning of some of “A. J. T’s.” remarks we deduce the following:—lst that the former of the editor was lack ng in m.ag nail mi tv, 2d that said Editor has “sieared and abused” his fel low just because hr was a member of ‘‘The Chimb” and'beeause his character is free ■4> from every blur, 3rd was the re ligious disserninatoriof the? town of j Trenton, 4th tluit|saidJeditor“l)ack jed and cut and abused” till pity I cried no'more.’and tbatjsaid editor I called those who dared defend their principles.J“backbiters and slanderers”. i We infer that “A. J. T.” is a lmember^of ; “ThejChurch” and our most famous cronologer ofjthe town assume, the “Christian Church” Church” of -m wfc. X i Christ. M’hile we"are.not a member of w * tho Christ we glory in its goodjwork loolrfng upon its religious bigotry least degree ofallowance. V*V That good men and wo.nenoelong to the Chrisfian church, that we believe,"and that many members of said church will go to heaven that we also believe, but tnat all outside will'be darned is an absur dity beyond all reason. With this as a preface to our defence we will go further and challenge“A, J. T.” or anyone else to point to a single article that ever appeared in the Dade Co. News, where a mem ber of “The Church” was “sieared or abused’where he did not deserve a tornado of abuse beyond our power to express. What ever we made up’ourjmind to say we tried to expn es it in a way that no’doubt would be left as to what we meant. A man should not be blamed for what*ho |honestly believes, but he may render himself despicable by a certain manifestation of what he believes. Now “A. J. T.” demands of us—“of the’pulpit—of the print ing office” why such dissensions in the town of Tronton. Better inquire into your own hearts and learn the feelings that prompted you to acts of open hostility against your brethren of the other churches. Our printing office is dubed the pulpit, well assuming that we have “occupied” “the pulpit—tho print ing office” we honestly pray God that our neck may never get too stiff to bow in a meeting of any religeous denomination. For any church in the face of other churches to assume and bold ly assert that tneir particular church is the only church of “God” and all others a mockery, and then meekly ask “why ’all this dissen sion” is in the language of George Chadwic .‘an abomination in the the Lord.” If A. J. T, know the cause of so much “religeous des sension” in_Trenton let him go be yond our humble actions while in \ contro of “our paper” and from the st.“gt comes the back rooms, and e-. < :i private gatherings he will j find germinated malice as an on* j come bigotry, and hatred as anoff .'pring of pjvdudiiv, those united | make of Ir< ::to i a hell of hat rod j and 4 ; cord and not by any f.-uit | of ours. j Of the moral conduct of persons, j we will IcAve that to those in.*n | «aj able of judging by reasons of ! their tho ough l now ledge of tin i-ib’', hut ,'U to*he social conduit j -iiiat duty, li< h one man ,/wes to. his ii» :gh!»t»r. a .a to society in gen eral, wo will presume lo say, no where on earth ean (her- be found a body of poo lo so “sot to the] opinion”, and s > thoroughly con vinced of the error of others us to blind them to all sense of justice slid deference to what other* may believe.
