7 Mar 1961: [book review; excerpt] Robert Lewis Taylor has done it again. His "The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters" won him a Pulitzer prize, and he has followed it up with a rolllicking adventure story of another youngster in A JOURNEY TO MATECUMBE (McGraw-Hill).
Adding much to the story is the sensational salesman, Dr. Ewing T. Snodgrass. The chapter on Dr. Snodgrass' sale of medicine for all diseases in Bosky Dell is one of the most entertaining in the novel.

19 Sep 1964: [excerpt] Georgia Negro Vote Shows Large Growth -- Atlanta --
It took a sharp pair of eyes to find a single Negro in the enthusiastic crowds that flocked around Sen. Barry Goldwater here last week.
And yet the Negro vote in Georgia is climbing toward an estimatted 200,000--80,000 more than two years ago, and twice as many as in 1960.
In the infighting that plagued the Republicans last spring during the Goldwater take-over, former national committeeman Robert Snodgrass was the party's keenest disciple of biracialism. Ever since 1952, when he triumphed over the conservative wing of the party in the famous case of the Texas and Georgia "steal," Snodgrass encouraged Negro participation at the party's highest level. He read the registration tealeaves.
But Pickett emerged supreme in the Goldwater Revolution here. And on the day before Sen. Goldwater's visit, Snodgrass delivered himself of one of the bitterest charges yet made by a responsible party figure against fellow Republicans.
