Mr. Pendleton was born in Effing-
ham county, Georgia, June 20, 1850,
the fifth child of Philip c. Pendleton
His mothers mairen name was Cath
crime Tebeau, of the family when
gave Tebeauville its name. Philip c.
Pendleton was one of the best know1
and most prominent men in the south
ern and eastern portions of Georgia,
both before AMI after the war. He
established the Southern Post in
Macon when still young man, and
afterwards established another pub
LEGATION known as the Southern Ladys
Book. This latter publication he trans
ferred to Savannah, under the name
of The Magnolia. The publication was
later taken to Charleston by Mr.
Pendelton and w. Gilmore Sims, where
it was published with great success
for several years.
Mr. Pendelton, being a lawyer, f.
nally abandoned the publishing bus
mess for a time and set up law Of
flee in Savannah and later at Sanders
vile. In 1850 he established the Cen
trail Georgian at Sandersville, a paper
which has been in continuous exist
ence ever since, and is now published
under the name of the Sandersville
Georgian.
Selling out this enterprise in 1853,
Philip c. Pendelton moved to south
west Georgia to take up farming. He
first settled in Ware county, and the
town of Pendleton was named after
him by James Screven, who was then
building a railroad from Savannah to
Thomasville
About this time Philip C. Pendleton
moved his young and growing family
to Lowndes county, where he lived the
remainder of his life He founded the
Valdosta Times and ran it until his
death in 1869, in the meantime having
given his services to the Confederate
army, as well as those of his sons old

major of the Fiftieth Georgia. He re-

'anced age and breaking health.
Early EduCation.
His fifth child, Charles Rittenhcuse
Pendieton, was south Georgian to the
core and from the start was thrown
into the atmosphere of newspaper
work and responsibility He received
his education in the common schools
with supplementary private instruc-
ton in the classics and like so MANY
other great editors. never knew what
a college was like from the standpoint
of a student.
Immediately upon his fathers death
Mr. Pendleton took charge of the
Valdosta Times for the family, a
heavy responsibility for so young a
man for there were several to support
with the income from this source. In
1879 he married Sallie Patterson Pee
pies of Valdosta, who survives him To
this union was born a comparatively
large family.

adherence of sham and demagoguery ?,

state and finally Major Hanson, then
owner of The Macon Telegraph, and
one of the most commanding figures in
Georgia in many lines, induced him to
leave the Valdosta Times and come to
the editorial desk of the Telegraph,
where he would have a wider field for
the expression of his editorial con-
yictions. This was in 1896.
In the meantime, Mr.. Pendleton re-
tanned the full ownership of the Val
dosta Times, paper always very close
to his heart, but when two or three
years later he learned that Major Han
son might be induced to sell the Tel
egraph, he disposed of the Valdosta
Times to a stock company and purch-
ased the Macon Telegraph, lock, stock
and barrel. He has controlled the Tel
egraph absolutely ever since, although
several years ago he disposed of a
minority portion of his stock to W. T.
Anderson, now general manager of the
Telegraph, and to P. H. Gambrell, now
business manager.
Only once in his life did he consent
to run for public office and that was
when he was very young man. In
1923 he was a member of the Georgia
legislature, claiming the distinction of
being one of the youngest men who
ever sat there In fact, the claim is
made by his friends that he was, up to
the time he took his seat. the youngest
man who ever had been eliminated to
that office. That was from Lowndes
county.
