There have been further developments

A. p. Spence is in Jail at Thorn

RODDENBERY STRIKES
It RICH IN CONGRESS
New Member From Second
District Receives Pay From
Date of GriggS' Death
RY RALPH SMITH.

i
! WASHINGTON. March S.-Judge Rod
denbery. of Thomasville, who has just en-
tered public life in Washington, counts
himself 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 81, 159, which he had no thought
OF receiving when he left Georgia. He
drew salary from the date of Judge
Griggs' death, on January 4, and this, at
the stipulated salary of $500 per year,
lamounted to s1,159.
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 i'm
preston, that his salary would date from
the time he took the oath of office, or pos
sibly from the date of his election. The
law provides for such contingencies,
however, and if a member dies during the
session of a congress, and his prede-
cessor is elected during the session. the
salary of the latter dates from the death
of the former.
The unexpected luck reimburses Rod
denbery, in part, for the expense to which
he was put in his canvass for the Office.
He was assessed s1,C00, as a starter, by
the executive committee of the district.
The unexpected compensation from the
government offsets the primary assess.
ment and leaves him neat sum toward
paying other legitimate expenses.
Few members of congress have been as
lucky as Judge Roddenbery in the mat
ter of committee assignments. He landed
place on the public buildings and
grounds committee, which is. 1t may oe
repeated, one Of the very desirable COM
mittees OF the house.
