r EDITOR OF MACON [i TELEGRAPH PASSES I r,Viftrl??v It Poiiill*k#itii ninu Vrliliav bJ* " s Morning After an Illness of i Five Weeks. d Macon, Ga., Jan. 17.?Charles R. v Pendleton, for 15 years editor and ^ part owner of the Macon Telegraph, ? died this morning at 7 o'clock after ^ an illness of five weeks. Death was due primarily to Bright's disesase. Louis Pendleton of Philadelphia, ? who has done the burden of the edi- ^ torial work even since his brother's connection with the paper, is now In d charge of the editorial department, j but it Is not expected that he will 8 occupy the position permanently. t born In Effingham county, June 26, 1850. He was a son of Major Philip C. Pendleton, who also was promi ? nent as a journalist, when little ? more than a youth he took charge of v the Valdosta (Georgia) Times, sue- a ceeding his father as editor. Later e he purchased the Macou Telegraph c and has since controlled practically t Its entire stock. Although active In both national and state politics, Col. Pendleton only onoe has held public office. In 1882 he was elected to the Georgia legis lature, serving one term. In 1896 he ? was a delegate to the national Democratic convention and in 1904 he was i a delegate at large and member of p the notification committee. He head- , ed the Georgia delegation to the national Democratic convention at B<lmoie in 1912. A year ago he suffered an attack similar to that which caused his death. He recovered quickly, however and until recently was apparently in perfect health. TRAPPER IS CAUGHT IN HIS OWN SNARE Mew Mexico Man Meets Death and Skeleton Tells Story of Hopeless Struggle. Santa Fo, N. M.? Literally caught in his own trap was the fate that befell one unknown hunter In the wilds of Socorro county, N. M.?not only caught but devoured by the very ani mala he sought to entrap. This terrible story was brought to Santa Fe by Charles McCarthy, a ranchman, who discovered the chewedat skeleton of the victim, the wrist 1 booes still held In the vise-like grip ? of the trap. The condition of the ground told Its own story of the last 1 deaperate. hopeless struggle of the un- 1 known trapper, fighting against a 1 X" "V 1 (1 1 r^,: gfff o X'*v!

The trapper had driven in his wagon, to which was hitched a team of tittle mules, many miles into what is the heart of the wildest section of the state. It was evident that he was after bear, for he had one of the largest steel traps he ooald secure It is believed the unknown had finished baiting and setting the trap and was in the ant of leaving it when, by a misstep, be stumbled into the great steel Jaws- In falling the bones of both hands were caught between the great steel rims at the wrist. Once caught, there was no escape without the help of another human 1> inf. He was 50 miles from civilization and in a region seldom entered by men The trap had been made stationary and. pinioned {is he was, it v as impossible to disconnect it. On the ground about the trap were evidence of the fearful struggle of the man to escape the fate which he k.iow would be his. Rut night came nnd found him still held fast. With the darkness also came the wild animals he had sought to entrap. He knew their haunts and had selected his site well. Attracted by the human halt in the trap they attacked him. He nought as beet he could, but. with 1.. ads useless, there was but one outcome. Bear, mountain lion, coyote, whatever It vaa, vanquished the trapper, perhaps began feasting on his flesh before he was altogether dead. One week after this tragedy, McCarthy happened across the scene. Not nine was left of the unknown save the skeleton, and even some of the b' new had been crunched.

In addition to that, she occasionally rove the cook out of the kitchen and prepared a meal according to the ^ cbedule of the cooking school she atended in the city. On this particular day, at four 'clock in the afternoon, the ooofc was mt, and tha sister had gone to the lllage. Mise Collne was left all alone, Jid one at the things she contemplated for supper?falsely and deceptively ailed dinner by a share of the poputalon?was an old-fashioned custard. ! First get the eggs. They oould be ound tn the henhouse. Miss Online ralked drrwn tha path to the gate to ret a steer ap and down the highway afore going after the egg*.

"The deuoe!" whispered the young nan, as he Inspected the empty tanks, j "And now you can fetch a tin of i gasoline from the garage to last you i few mllee, though you will probably dart out without the tires next time-" And with that the gtrl started off" "or the hennery and gave him no more lttentlon. Mr. Farnham had Ave miles to go to Ills fnther's home, and he reached It without further adventure. "Mother," he said when he reached home, "why drmt you Are our fat and frowsy old cook and get something dlf rerent "Rut for what reason V "Because she lan't a dandy. Back here a few miles I saw a handsome young lady who was a cook?intelligent. eduonted and classy! I almost permitted myself to admire her." "My smart son," said the mother. "I'll hot a dollar to a shilling that you have been fooled. Is she a rather short girl?" "Yes." "Flue eyes and curly hair?" "Thnt'B It." "Well, my son. that girl was and is Mrs. Mason's sister. Her home was and is In the city, hut. she conies down hero every few weeks. How does it feel to be taken for a hayseed?" "I'll get even with hor for that!" was the vigorous reply, and the subject was dropped. Every day for the next two weeks young Farnham was out on the road learning to run his auto, but he pever went so far as the white house on the hill. It was only when he thought he HqH nYiannKorl oil awa u'Ao a loom Including self-confidence, that ho sped In that direction. When within half a mil? of the house he saw an anto come out. of the drive. It contained two ladles only. "That muat be the widow and her slRter," he mused. "The one who made a fool of me will be at the wheel. Good! Now to shatter her egotism a bit." He put on speed and shot ahead.. Ills coming was not noticed until he was passing. One glance told him that the girl who had posed as the cook was driving the machine. With exaggerated politeness he bowed and smiled, and he saw her straighten up and her eyes flash. The road soon narrowed, and there was no chance to pass him, but as he exalted some- I thing went wrong wtth his machine. It swerved Into the ditch, knocked down three or four rods of rail fence, and then stopped dead still after vainly trying to climb over an old stump. Miss Colino had to turn her head and look. It wasn't the thing to do, but most any driver would have done it. Smash! Crash! Her auto was raking the fence on the opposite side! "Thl9 comes of a hired man driving an auto!" she said. "Or a cook!" ho retorted. "Sir!" "Miss!" "What is all this talk about?" demanded Widow Mason, as she advanced. The other two looked at each other for a few seconds and then began to laugh. "I have learned since the other day,*" ?ald Miss Coline, "that you are not a I hired man. I therefore beg pardon." "Granted; and I have also learned ! since the other day that you are not 1 the family cook. I therefore?" !

J.?It wasn't a baby but dog, and the man on the bench isn't a Solomon but Just a district urt Judge, with human doubts born long experience with human testiony. The dog was a white and brine bull, valued at $500 by the rival aim ants, and the Solomon baby cornnation being broken the adjudication his ownership threw the residents ire Into a fervor, caused a woman to int. made the Judge throw up his uids in despair and divided the town to two opposing factions. "I give It up," Bald Judge W. Carngton Cabell of the district court ter hearing the testimony. ,"It would J ke a Solomon to decide the case. b uhj mucu ior me. On the side of the plaintiff there waa le testimony of two physicians, a dog ncier and a reputable citizen, Joseph omer of Rutherford, N. J.t who said le dog was his. Arraigned against its testimony was the word of Theosre Rergner, general manager of the otany Worsted mills, Pussalc, who Iso claim the dog, his wife, their eighbors, a servant, the family cat, a 3g's kiss and a physician. "As a mere citizen," said Judge abell, "I would feel inclined to accept le testimony of the dog and give it to Irs. Rergner. As a judge, however, I m unconvinced. I will enter the case onsuit." The courtroom was crowded with assaie society, as Mrs. Rergner, who ves at US Lexington avenue, is one f the leaders thero. "The dog is mine," said Mrs. Berg er. "Wo bought the dog last J&nury when It was only two months old. n September 8 the dog was ill and '? sent It to a dog hospital In Passaic, r. John Pakelaar said an operator ras necessary. Then on September 0 Dr. Pakelaar told us the dog had scaped. We advertised for it and a Oh, I Don't Know," Answered Mrs. Bergner. nan told us he found it. We got the log back." "How do you know it was your dog?" Lskod Judge Cabell. "Oh, I know," answered Mrs. Bergisr "Our cat at home is afraid of all logs and Is always fighting them. Well, when Puppy came home the cat [Mirred and aotu&lly went up and kissed Puppy. The cat knew it was Puppy." Then as additional evidence Mrs. Bergner said: "Kiss me, Puppy." Puppy did. Then Mrs. Bergner's neighbors took the witneHB stand and said they were tire that the dog belonged to Mr*. Bergner. Mr. Tomor'i case wu less affectionate and more scientific. He called to the stand I ?r. lUikelanr and his assistant, Dr. Henry Cempfner. Both were certain Jhat the dog In court was not the dog on which they had operated. Also Joseph Walkland of Newark, N. J., took the stund and testified that he had sold the dog to Mr. Tomer. "Besides," Mr. Walkland added, "the dog before you ts two years old. Mr. Bergner's dog was only a year old." Undismayed, Mr. Bergner brought forth an expert, who testified that the dog In the room was not two years old After the case was dismissed Mrs. Tomer met Mrs. Bergner outside the court room.

In expression it doubtless lacks something of the speclalzed de- , nunciat'.on and the muddy current of former addresses by this administration, but in substance and in purpose it is drawn from the same spring as all that has preced. It is unre lieved from the flatness of a low level to which we have become more than accustomed instead of revolting against in South Carolina. The absence of new assaults is hardly surprising. "Pray, my lord," said Sydney Smith to a profane nobleman, in the j course of an argument, "pray, my i lord, consider everybody and every- | thing to he demancd and let us proced to business let us proceed with the discussion." Everybody and every- ' thing has been damned and the only tiling remaining is to say as Ileny ' Watterson said once at the close of a j bitter political campaign If, In the course of the acrimonious contest ho ; had called anyone a son of a gun he | wished now to declare that he had been and was still a son of a gun. Our governor declares that all his recommendations of the past are re- ' pea ted, and then some of them are 1 specifically cited and emphasized. ' They are not helpful nor uplifting nor | l,,.n?.lA<l ka a.wl n/x In I Just where it was and ns it will remain under the present dispensation. That was all known and undertood before and there s nothing to be shocked or surprsed at, nor to be repined of either. What we have we chose once perhaps, inadvertently or abstractedly or mistakenly, but a second time deliberately and with understanding. That is the record that will not fade out. So, the Governor having said his say and repeated everything he had ' said before let us proceed if we may ?or, at least as far as we are able? to business. There is much the General assembly can do nevertheless and notwithstanding and it is to be hoped it will doit in prilislphical spirit. The Governor has done at least one thing in his message, exposed if he lias not reported upon the state of the commonwealth, and such things as may be done despite him to preserve the things that are worth while and to make for a btter future should be done without regarrr to the abnormalities of the times.
