SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA- POLITICS
Colonel Charles R. Pendleton, editor of
The Macon Telegraph, is one of Geor
gia s grand old men.
He is the nestor of Georgia journalism,
and he is possessed of the entire respect
of his colleagues of the press. Whether
the> agree with him always is another
Question, and not particularly rpaterial.
anyway. i
T here is no man in Georgia more easy
to understand than Colonel Pendleton.
His methods are direct and to the point,
ilis character speaks in every gesture
and his sincerity is made manifest in ev
ery attribute of his daily life.
During the progress of the state con
vention in Macon Colonel Pendleton’s
sanctum was the Mecca of all sorts and
conditions of politicians and statesmen,
near and far; and to keep track of them
all. give them the glad hand and a “wel
come to our fair city.’’ was something of a
tax both upon physical mental equip
ment.
Nevertheless, those people were Macon's
guests, and. therefore, the obligation not
to quit the ship, no matter how heavy the
bombardment of “Howdy. Colonel’.” was
pressing and insistent.
Colonel I*endleton stood for the invading
army in most chivalric and hospitable
style.
Colonel Pendleton’s work room in The
lelegraph building is eloquent of Pen
dleton. and tells what manner of man he
is, and without Pendleton saying a word.
I pon one side of him hangs a life-size
oil portrait of “Stonewall” Jackson, on
the other side a similar portrait of Rob
ert E. Lee. Needless to add, both Con
federate chieftains are pictured in full
dress uniform. Over; in a corner is a
group photograph of Grover Cleveland and
his last cabinet—Hoke Smith and all.
The gray-haired old veteran of the press
furnishes the engaging exhibit back
grounded by the other things.
And there, without words, is all that is
necessary to tell what manner of man Pen
dleton is.
Colonel Pendleton is. in many ways, a
gerlhman of the old school whatever
that is. lie loves every tradition of the
South, l.iit he is quite well aware that the
war - ; s over, and he long ago accepted the
verdict of the GO’s, but without in any
way surrendering a single conviction of
right.
The editor of The Macon Telegraph
sometimes has been called a "bourbon.”
He is not he is half a “bourbon” only.
A “bourbon” is one who “learns noth
ing, forgets nothing ” Colonel Pendleton
learns much —everj day. But he is half
“bourbon” in that he forgets nothing.
In character and trend of thought, he is
every inch a man —and every inch a news
paperman.
The Savannah News in a recent issue
comments thusly:
The Atlanta Georgian quotes a north
west Georgia politician as expressing
w the opinion that there are gloomy
times ahead for his section, political
ly, unless something is done to stop
the creation of new’ counties in south

It is made in the cup—requires no boiling. Stir a teaspoonful in a cup
of hot water, add sugar and cream to taste, and a delightful beverage,
much resembling high-grade Java, results instantly!

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 4. 1912.
By JAMES B NEVIN.'
Georgia He thinks that through this
means the southern part of the state,
will soon have north Georgia "eating
out of her hand " The time Is ripe
tor a change, because the northern
part of the state has controlled
the state s politics and furnished
nearly all of the officers since At
lanta was made the capital But
south Georgia will not come into her
own by means of new counties but
because of preponderance of popula
tion. wealth and resources The new
counties are only an incident. They
were made necessary by the growth
or this section. It will not be many
.'ears before the great majority of the
population will be in the southern
part of the state, and then will come
its political as well as mdustrial su
premacy. But south Georgia is too
busy expanding and developing to
.worry about the offices for a while at
least, and is letting the northern part
of the state have most of them. If
this section presents men for state of
fices it will be because of merit and
not from sectional feeling

'f’he "result in Vermont.” which was to
tell So much, in reality tells very little.
lhe ancient Republican majority has
vanished—but by a curious sort of politi
cal legerdermain. it seems to have van
ished into nowhere, rather than into
somewhere.
The Democrats didn’t get it. Their vote
is about the same old vote that Vermont
ever gives, forlornly enough, to Demo
cratic endeavor.
Years ago, Henry Grady eulogized the
noble 20,000 that stood always if hope
lessly on the Democratic burning deck in
Vermont. They are still standing there
3 his much alone seems certain with
respect to Vermont. What the regular
Republican ticket lost, the bull moose out
fit gained.
That’s what makes it difficult to say
whither politically the ancient Republican
majority in Vermont went. In the mat
ter of legislative elections, the old time
Republican order of things was more
fortunate in retaining what never yet has
escaped it.
What shall it profit the bull moose party
in Vermont that it defeated the regulars
in a state election, on the surface of
things, and yet permitted the election of
a legislature that will insure a regular
Republican governor regardless?
Vermont bull mooses may have gained
what they straightway would lose again.
A man with plenty of white paper and
a ready pen will be able to make the Ver
mont returns prove any old thing he
wishes to prove.

Motor ear dealers who plan exhibits
in the November automobile show will
meet tonight at the Transportation club
to discuss methods of allotting space
for the exhibitors and framing rules
to govern the show. Nearly every deal
er in cars and accessories in Atlanta

An unusually heavy demand f ex

every inch will be reserved long be
fore the date of the opening. There
are 22,000 square feet of floor space to
be sold at 50 cents a foot, which will
bring a revenue of SII,OOO from this
source alone. All this will be spent
on the expenses of the show.

exhibit is composed of Wylie West, of
