Pendleton * was but a lad when tho war broke out. Philip Pen-diet on served .with distinction, being elected major of the Fiftieth Georgia. Ho resigned after two years, because of advanced age and breaking health.Immediately upon his father’s 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. He made The Valdosta Times on© of the most influential papers in south arid southwest Georgia.and at one time enjoyed the county printing of several counties. ,In 1879 he married Sallfe Patterson Peoples, ■ of Valdosta, who^cbrvives him. To this union was borri a comparatively large family. iMr. Pendleton’s virile writings, his • abhorrence of sham and demagoguery j soon attracted notice all over the state j and finally Major Haneon, then owner | of The Macon Telegraph and one oftho moat 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 could have a wider field for hla editorial convictionb. .This was in 1S96-He Day* Telt^mph. ''In the meantime Ifr. Pendleton retained the full ownership of The Valdosta Times, a paper alv/aya very close to his heart, but .when two or three years later he learned that Major Hanson might be Induced to soil The Telegraph, he disposed of The Valdosta Times to C. C. Brantley and FI. L Turner, tho present owners of the paper, and purchased The Macon Telegraph, lock, stock nnd barrel.He has controlled The Telegraph absolutely ever since, although several years ago he disposed of minority portions or hia stock to IV. T Anderson, now E’en era. 1 manager of The Telegraph, and to P. IL Gambrelt now business manager.To his death, however, Mr. Pendleton retained unencumbered and uninfluenced control of his own papor, more bo, perhaps, than any other owner in the south today. Only once in his life did he consent to run for public office, and that was when a very young man.In 1S82-3 he was' a member of tho Georgia legislature, claiming the distinction of being one of tho youngest men who over sat there. In fact, tho claim is made by his frienda that he was, up to tho time ho took hU aeaL the youngest man who ever had been elected to that office. This was from Lowndes county. However, he has always figured largely in hJs 3tate's politics, both In regard to the state itself at home and its i»art in the national movements.]On Various Delegations.TIIn 1396 he was a delegate to the national democratic convention and in 1904 he was delegate at large to the national convention, member of the notification committee, and in 1912 he headed the Georgia delegation to the democratic national convention in Baltimore, a delegation pledged to tho support of Oscar W. Underwood, who carried the state in the presidential primaries by 19.000 plurality.During the last presidential primary campaign Mr. Pendleton supported Mr. Underwood for the Georgia delegation with enthusiasm, although at no time wan he particularly hostile to Woodrow Wilson After the convention, when Wilson was nominated, no paper in Georgia was more whole-heartedly supporting him or was more active in raising campaign funds.In 1905 Mr. Pendleton was elected a life member of the Bibb county board of education, i‘i which offico he labored with enthusiasm. It was one of the few labors outside of his newspaper and Its affiliated movements in which he took a close personal part. He was vice chairman of the board of education at the time of his death.In 1910 he was chairman of Ibe state democratic executive committee, an office which he held until the Hoke Smith delegates for governor named a new committee at tho consolidation of the vote following the last Hoke Smith-Joe Brown race.To Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton wore bornhitiITU11Vs.a;flt;V T oieleven children, eight of whom are llv-■ .'.e. t:t iiryn . . ....__Hicks, of Brooklyn, N.
