Superior Court- Superior Court convened al Ap pling on Monday, with his Honor H 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. Mr. S. T. Florence, of Grovetown was chosen foreman and no better selec tion could have been made The following lawyers are in at tendance: Judge H. D. Twiggs, E. T. Verdery, W. D. Tutt, Eb. T. Wil liams, Salem Dutcher, of Augusta; Judge W. M. and Hon. M. P. Reese, of Washington; Hon. T. E. Watson, P. B. Johnson and John T. West, of Thomson; ex-Gov. James M. Smith and Col. B. A.

Gray, administrator Jackson Maddox vs. Leo Henderson et al, Thos. E. Watson for plaintiff, and W. D. Tutt for defendant. The charge to the jury was able and ex haustive and hud a very happy effect upon his many admirers in this county. Owii.gto the indisposition of the Judge and by consent of council, the Penrre- Lamar case was continued to the next term of court. In the case of W S. Whitaker vs. Dr. A. J. Sanders, resulted in verdict for damages, Watson for plaintiff, Williams for defendant. We are unable to give further proceedings of the Court in this week’s issue. A synopsis of the entire doings oi the Court will ap pear next week. 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.
