Superior Court convened al Ap

C. Roney in his accustomed place,
ably assisted by Solicitor-General
Wright. As usual “Brad'' was on
hand and Frank D. Gray at the
Clerk’s desk. Owing to the indispo
sition of the Judge his charge was
unusually short, though able and cov
ered the necessary ground. There is
good material in the grand jury and
good work in the interest of the
county will be accomplished. They
know their duty and will dare do it.

AN KXPLAIITION-
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 23rd, 1886.
Editors Columbia Sentinel:
The following severe criticism upon
the conduct of one of the Augusta
ministers appeared in the Columbia
Sentinel just after the White Oak
Camp Meeting; but did not catch the
eye of any of the friends of the minu
ter assailed until a day or two ago.
“CUKIHTIAN SPIRIT.
The Sentinel was present on Tues
day afternoon last at. White Oak camp
meeting and heard a cartain minister
of the Gospel from Augusta assail the
Episcopal church in a manner very
unbecoming a Christian, stating that
the religion of the Episcopalian coi -
sista in forms and ceremony, and nil
that is necessary to become a full
fledged member and communicant is
to *L>c able to repent the Apostles
creed, the Lord's prayer and the Com
mandments.
This assault took place at a private
tent during the afternoon sei vices. A
service he should have taken part in,
because it was his duty; but not so,
he remained at the tent and gave vent
to his spleen, ns regards the Episco
pal religion, very freely. We are dis
posed to throw the mantle of charity
aro uni him. and say that his Church
is somewhat to blame for this on
slaught, from the fact that it han 1 o',
permitted him to leave his work and
spend at least the month of August in
some resort in tho mountains of Vir
ginia or North Carolina. Ho has a
malarial appearance, and we would
suggest a vacation.” —Columbia Sen
tinel.
The assailing of tho Episcopal
Church complained of, consisted in a
very animated discussion of the con
ditions of admission to membership in
the Episcopal and the Methodist
(Churches, between the minister and a
lady friend, in a private tent -and
being private should have been deem
ed sacred till the consent of the | ar
ties engaged in the discussion was
given for its publication. Surely the
editor of the Sentinel has been guilty
of a greater offence than the minister
he so caiiHtically criticineH, in that he
not only violates the confidence of a
private converaation, between a lady
and gentleman, but in also guilty of
a breach of hospitality: for if I am
rightly informed, and I think I am,
they were all the guests of a private
gentleman in his private tent.
The assault charged in the indict
ment consist® in a statement on the
part of the minister that the only con
dition of membership the Episcopal
church required is that the applicant
should be able to repeat the cr< ed
the Ten Commandments, the Lord’s
prayer, etc.
In order that the editor of the
Columbia Sentinel may see that the
minister he criticised so severely was
warranted in the statement I quote
the charge given to the sponsers at
the close of the ordinance of baptism
of infants: “Ye are to take care that
this child be brought to the Bishop
to be confirmed by him, so soon as he
can say the creed, the Lord s prayer,
and the Ten Commandments, and is
Terms, $1 A Year In Advance.
| sufficiently instructed iu the other
parts of the church catechism set
| forth for that purpose.”
And the follow i .g taken from the
order of confirmation: “To the end
that continuation may be ministered
to the more edifying of such as shall
receive it, the church hath thought
good Io order, that none hereafter
shall be continued but such as can
say the Creed, tho Lord's prayer and
the ten coniinnndments; and can also
answer to such other questions as in
the short catechism are contained,
etc.”
Surely it was not giving vent to
any spleen to ufate a fact, in a pri
vate conversation, that in so well
known to all who are familiar with
the Book of Common Prayer, or the
regular practice of the Episcopal
Church. The editor of the Sentifm.
must certainly have laborod under a
wrong inqbession as regards the feel
ing and temper of tho minister UD”
der discussion; for knowing him, as
tho writer does, to be full of love nnd
charity to all tho churches, as well as
all mankind, he cannot believe him
to have said anything that was
prompted either by envv, hatred < r
malice In fact I have it from ti e
lips of the minister himself that the
conservation was in the spirit of
badinage.
In regard toyiur charge that the
minister was neglecting his duty by
being absent from the stand, you jg.
norantly d> him an injustice, lie
was wading, with vali e packed, for
the summons of the hacknian who
was to take him back to the train to
return to his duties in Augusta.
1 ni don the length of this com mu
nication, Mr. Editor, but as the win
ister is an entire stranger to your
readers 1 (eel that it is due him that
he should be set. right before then*.
Very respectfully, „■
A. F. Pendleton,
A Notable Complliuerit
The grand jury of McDuffie county,
iu its general presentments on Thurs
day last, paid the following high tri
bute to Judge Roney: “In taking
leave of His Honor, wo tender pur
thanks for his courtesy, and take pride
in commending his administration
since ho has been our Judge. W*
have known him personally foryehrs
ami observe with pleasure and pride
his judicial course, especially the
golden opinions ho has won from
each of tlie’othor counties couiposuig
his circuit. The desire of the people
and bur of this circuit that he be rer
elected to the position which he hes
honored for (he past four years at
tests the esteem in which he is held,
and shows that the integrity, justice
and ability which marked bis private'
ami professional character have aU6 r
illustrated his career on the bench. It
is useless for us to recommend him to
our representatives in the House and:
Senate, but wo would urge them to
use all honorable means to advance
his candidacy with the other repre
sentatives of tho State, and secure for
Judge Roney the unanimity of that
body, which his merit so richly dt’*
serves. W e , the grand jury, therefore
respectfully ask the Legislature to re-' !
turn to the Augusta Judicial Circuit* l ‘
the Hon. H. C. Roney.” i ! tr
The above the Sentinel endorse* r
in its entirety. Georgia has DO
abler or more consciencious judge
upon tho bench than Judge
and we feel confident that he will be
returned to the position he so faith
fully and efficiently fills.
