RODDENBERY STRIKES 1T RICH.

New Member From Second Receives
Pay From Judge Griggs' Death.
A Washington dispatch says Con-
gresham Roddenbery, who has just
entered public life in Washington,
counts himself a lucky man-and not
without reason. Besides plucking
one of the most desirable committee
assignments at the disposal of the
speaker he collected from Uncle Sam
$1,159 which he had no thought of
receiving when he left Georgia. He
Griggs' death on January 4th, and
this, at the stipulated salary of ST.
500 per year, amounted to $1,159.
1t must have been just like finding
it. Certainly Judge Roddenbery had
no idea that such luck awaited him.
He was under the general though
erroneous impression that his salary
would date from the time he took
the oath of office, or possibly from
the date of his election. The law
provides for such contingencies, how
ever, and if member dies during
the session of a congress, and his pre-
decessor is elected during the session
the salary of the latter dates from
the death of the former.
The unexpected luck reimburses
Mr.. Roddenbery in part for the ex-
pense to which he was put in his
canvass for the office.
