WELL KNOWN GEORGIA NEWSPAPER MAN DIES AT HIS HOME IN MACON

MACON, Ga., Jan. 16 - Charles Rittenhouse 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 disease.
Louis Pendleton of Philadelphia, who has done the burden of the editorial work ever since his brother's connection with the paper, is now in charge of the editorial department but is not expected that he will occupy the position permanently.
Charles Rittenhouse Pendleton was born in Effingham County, Georgia. June 26, 1850.

He was a son of Major Phillip Coleman Pendleton, who was prominent as a journalist. When little more than a youth he took charge of the Valdosta (Ga.) Times, succeeding his father as editor. Later he purchased The Macon Telegraph, and has since controlled practically its entire stock.
Although active in both National and State politics, Colonel Pendleton only once has held public office. In 1882 he was elected to the Georgia Legislature, serving one term. In 1896 he was a delegate to the Democratic National convention and in 1904 he was a delegate at large and member of the notification committee. He headed to the Georgia delegation to the National Democratic convention at Baltimore 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.
