County superintendents Meet.

Ahio 10 O sCAs uuoy ouiuiuSI lOi Gu
ucators in Tennessee. The textbook
adoption and the state examinations
have served to keep everybody busy.
but, In spite of that, several new
things are being planned. The thing
most urgent now and most important
is the conference of county superin.
tendents which will be held in each
grand division of the state at the seat
of the state normal schools The first
one Is to be held at Johnson City. The
program for this meeting is being pre-.
pared and sent out by President s. G.
Gilbreath of the East Tennessee State
Normal school. The program covers
the particular phase of rural school
development in East Tennessee and is
attractive from every standpoint.
President Gilbreath states that so far
as he is able to learn, every one of the
thirty-four superintendent for East
Tennessee will be present.
The meeting at Murfreesboro will
be held in the hall of the State Normal
school in that city. This program Gov.
ers statewide issues, such as santa
ton, ventilation and light of school
buildings, the sort of rural school
buildings to be erected, the farmers
place in the community school and
every other phase of school life that
can be taken up at this time in Ten
nessee. President r. l.. Jones is max
ing extensive plans for this work. He
thinks that all of the forty-one super
intendents In Middle Tennessee will
be present and that they will be rep
resentative of large educational ideals.
For the West Tennessee meeting
the State Normal school at Memphis
has been selected. President John w.
Brister is actively engaged in working
out that program and says his re-
sponses from the county superintend-
ents and other educators in that sec.
tion indicate very large attendance.
A special feature Of the Memphis and
Murfreesboro meeting will be an ad.
dress by President John Howe Peyton
of the Nashville, Chattanooga G. st.
Louis railway. President Peyton is
noted as a speaker on educational and
religious subjects. II is great treat
to the teachers of the state to be able
to hear him. Extensive preparations
are being made for his reception at
these two places.
Among the people from the state de-
partment who will be present at all
Of these meetings will be State Super
intendent Thompson and High School
Inspector Bourne. Prof. M. w. Robin.

PHONE COMBINE
PUTS ONE OVER
ON WILSON
Agreement to Dissolve Perfectly
Satisfactory After Swimming
Cream From Western Union.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-That the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company achieved coup detat'
in its agreement with the Government
to dissolve is the opinion of members
of Congress who have studied the
announced plan.
They assert the telephone trust
when 1t took over the Western Union
converted to itself the most profit
able parts of that company's business
and, having SKINNED the cream"
was glad to surrender the Western
Union.
Representative Lewis of Maryland.
said to-day;
1T is not unreasonable to suppose
that the telephone interests have got
preciate the reasonableness of re-
ports that when the telephone COM
pany took over the Western Union
it readjusted affairs so that the tele-
graph company perhaps lost some OF
its choice wire contracts and also
that it fostered the use of the tele-
phone rather than the telegraph.
Nov that the dissolution has been
brought about do not doubt that the
telephone trust has reaped the cream
of the business and that the Western
Union must build up It's business
again
Il do not expect any reduction
either of telephone or telegraph rates
because of the so-called dissolution

spicuous Figure in Georgia

MACON, Jan. 16.--Charles Ritten-
editor and part owner of The Macon
Telegraph, died this morning at 6:45
o'clock after an illness of five weeks.

until week ago, when it was discov-
cred that he had Brights disease. He
was SO years of age.

Democratic National Conventions as a
delegate from Georgia, the last one
being the Baltimore convention, which
he attended as chairman of the Geor-
gia delegation, instructed for Oscar
Underwood. He was a member of a
number of State conventions, and
four years ago was chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
In politics Colonel Pendleton gener-
ally was classed with the conserva-
tives, although he never failed to sup
port the nominee of his party, hearth
ly and enthusiastically. His newspa-
per- The Macon Telegraph, long has
been a power in Georgia politics
largely due to the wide personal pop
ularity and influence of its editor.
Brother Takes His Place.
Just what effect Colonel Pendle-.
toms death will have on the manage
ment of The Telegraph can not be

The bravest and the gentlest the
truest and the most intrepid, of all
the presentday Georgia editors is
dying in Macon, and the press of the
State is about to lose its most imme-
date jewel!
Charles r. Pendleton, editor of The
Macon Telegraph, is crossing over
the river to rest under the shade of
the trees.
A sweeter soul never inhabited ten
ament of clay-may his rest be peace
full and full OF joy. We shall not
look upon his like again-he was
unique unto himself and at all times
a gentleman unafraid.
Upon the pages of Georgia's polit-
zeal history his name is written large
he has done the State some ser
vice, and yet never once would be
consent to hold Office on his own &C
count.
1t is very well known that when
Senator Clay passed away, the then
Governor, JOS NJ. Brown, hesitated
somewhat in determining whether he
should name Charles r. Pendleton or
Joseph M. Terrell to be Mr. Clay's
successor.
The matter was mentioned tenta-
lively to Colonel Pendleton, but he
waved it aside. He Endorsed heartily
the naming of former Governor Ter
rell to the high honor of a seat in
the Senate of the United States, but
as for himself, he fell back upon the
ground he always stood firm upon
Il am a newspaper man. and / have
ha
business with political ambitions"
The keynote Of Colonel Pendleton's
character is sincerity. There is moth
ing false about him-there Is no sham
in his make up, no mental reserva-
tons or evasions of mind in his dec
laration. Because of a most direct
method of expressing himself, he has
been held by some to be gruff and
unsympathetic. Nothing Is. or could
be, further from the truth AS a
matter of fact he is the gentlest of
men-no person grieves more to in
dict pain than he!
In the political world OF Georgia,
no name has carried more weight
than that Of Charles r. Pendleton.
Agree with him or no-that has
been more or less beside the point
respect him one must. By general
consent put at the head of the So
called conservative hosts of Georgia,
he truly has been of that school of
conservatism that does not stand
still" 1t is a remarkable tribute to
his high standing in the hearts of
Georgians than not in quarter of a
century has a Democratic national
convention been held to which he was
not sent as delegate and ever and
always without one word of sugges
ton from Pendleton.
