Columbia* Nov. 2.?Judge J. K. Henry's recent charge to the Spartanburg grand jury, in which he gave at some length the views actuating him in his uniform course in having his court opened with prayer, aud referred to some criticism which he had heard of and received in regard to that course, has led to some investigation which develops that there is a precedent of more than a century arid a half ago for opening court in South Carolina with prayer. That first .court opened with prayer in South Carolina, however, seems to have passed some fearful and pagan sentences. One fellow who was convicted of horse stealing was sentenced to thirty-nine lashes and to have his right ear cut off, and another, convicted of larceny, was burnt in the hand. Dr. Carlisle, addressing a convention of teachers in Spartanburg, in 1901, referred to the fact that Judge Ldngstreet, of Georgia, "though noc a member of the ^tiurchr opened his . coyrt with ? short prayer." and said "there is no recorded instance of a South Carolina court being thus opened;*,."J';UU:D.,\ writing from Darlington, in the News and Courier, in this connection,''in 1901, asked attention'to Bishop Gregg's "History of the Old Cheraws."'There it is recorded:. "On Monday, J6th of, November (1772), henceforth to be a day memot$ble in the history of the Pee Dee, the court waB to open at Long Bluff. Long Bluff is in Darlington county, near Society Hill, on the Pee Dee river. ^Speaking further of this memorable day, when the court was to have its first Bitting among the people of the Pee Dee, says "J. J. D.", the historian, Bishop Gregg, says: "Happily for them' and for their children, the administration of justice in their midst ojq so august an occasion was not to commence without first invoking the blessing of Heaven and recall* ing the sanction of that holy religion established by Him who is the Lord and Judge of all the earth. In attendance, therefore, with the pious custom of the time, a 'sessions sermon' was preached'on the morning of the 16th, before the openig of the court, by the Rev. Nicklas Bidgood, pastor of the Welch Neck churqh," The doctrine must have been stern, and sternly presented, for "the thoughts of all present were directed io a judgment in the end of the world from which there is no appeal J* and, further on in the same book, u couple of the convictions and sentences at "this first court oh the old Pee Dee" are given: "Jacob Tilley, convicted of horsestealing, was sentenced to thirty-nilie lashes and to have his right ear cut off. Randall Johnson, convicted Of larceny, was burnt in the hand." And further on we find Macallistre, found guilty of forgery, and " sentenced to stand in the pillory and to be publickly whipt." "It is of interest' to note, too," J. J. D/ recalls,, "that at Long Bluff a court house, a gaol, a pillory and a whipping post were put up." p It is told of Judge Henry's court that at the opening of one of its sessions the prayer delivered by an earnest and eloquent minister of the gospel, was so touching in its appeal for the forgiveness of sin, that some of the Jurors were in tears, and that when the trial of a murder case whs entered upon, and counsel for the defense were quoting to the jury .the words of the minister, in their appeals for mercy, there were few dry qyes in court rdom. ' At least that prayer was strikingly different from that other delivered 154 years ago?or, ratffer, its effect seems to have beeh.
