New Magazine To Be Published in Atlanta Is Hailed
by Leading Papers as a Distinct Addition
to American Literature.
Atlanta Georgia: It is a matter of pleasure for the Georgian to be able
hear.ily to join in the general welcome given to Uncle Remus’s Magazine, an
nouncement of which has been made. The names of a dozen of Atlanta's most
prominent figures in the financial world In tho directorate of the publishing
company .and the fact that Joel Chandler Harris is to be active editor would
seem to guarantee it success.
Atlanta News: The News extends its hearty welcome to Uncle Remus’s
Magazine, which is to be published early in 1907. Joel Chandler Harris, the
editor, is Atlanta’s most widely known citizen. And lie is one of the best
beloved. His ability to understand and to comprehend the public’s taste and
(he public’s wants should make him an ideal managing editor. Perhaps the
finest tribute ever paid him was the eulogy of the president when in Atlanta
a year ago, in which Mr. Roosevelt declared that “no citizen could read one
of Mr. Harris’ stories without rising up a better citizen, one determined to do
what was in him for the cause of decency and the causes of righteousness.”
Atlanta in a plant of its own, has already been made in the But none the less sincere have been the personal tribute of Andrew Carnegie,
papers throughout the country, and has created widespread Jerome K. Jerome, James Whitcomb Riley and others who, upon arriving in

for tho best there Is in literature. to T * nc l e Remus and Uncle Remus’s Magazine!
But in this week’s issue of The Sunny South appears the'
first announcement of the details of the new magazine and of| Chicago Record-Herald: Uncle Remus’s Magazine will be unique, just as
the fact that it has bought the Sunny South and will be merged 1 Mr - Harris is unique in American letters. Bearing in its every feature the
NNOUNCEMENT of the appearance next March of Uncle Remus’s

Hero are some of the comments the press of
made on the announcement of the magazine:
New York Times: Joel Chandler Harris is to edit a mag
azine, to be called Uncle Remus’s Magazine. Capital to tho
amount of $200,000 has been subscribed by Atlanta's business men. Mr. Harris,
who will conduct an editorial department, is one of the foremost literary men
of tho south. This seems to be tho most promising effort that has yet been
made to establish a literary monthly magazine in tho south.
hall-mark of his personality, it promises to be a distinct addition to American
literature. As a writer of folk tales Joel Chandler Harris is known in every
civilized country in tho world. His Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit stories have
been translated into every language that is set in type. It would be hard to
tell which class, particlan or plebeian, he has gripped more strongly with his
stories and novels. In tho table of contents of the magazine each month will
be found names that are familiar in art and letters. To print fiction of the
best sort is one of the plans. A serial by Mv. Harris will be begun in the first
It is in a new vein, but has all his charm and delicacy of treatment.
Henry Itatifnon, in The X.ouisviltc Courier-Journal: .Tool Chandler Harris
is about, to start a new monthly periodical known as Uncle Remus’s Magazine.
Mr. Harris is an editor, as well as a man of letters, llis fame is world-wide
and the capital back of the enterprise is ample. There should be, and we
think there will be, no doubt as to the material success of such a venture.
There can be none as to its quality. Though the south has not been a fruitful
field and the country at large is flooded with cheap publications, Uncle Remus
constitutes a hemisphere to himself, flaming his own torch and carrying his
own bloom wherever he goes. Everybody will be curious to see bis initial
number, as everybody will hail its advent and wish it success beyond his hope. !
AVnsliinglon l*ost: Uncle Remus’s Magazine, edited by Joel Chandler Harris,
is being planned on a scope that will rank it immediately with the leading
literary monthlies of the country. When one reads what Mr. Harris writes
be is able to understand more thoroughly what President Roosevelt recntly
said: "Georgia has done many things for tho union, hut she has -never done
more than when she gave Joel Chandler Harris to American literature. Presi
dents may come and presidents may go, but Uncle Remus stays on.”
Springfield, linns., Republican: There should be a cordial welcome, both
in the south and in tho north, for the new magazine to be started in Atlanta,
with the name Uncle Remus's Magazine and edited by Joel Chandler Harris.
Mr. Harris’ connection with it may be taken as a guarantee of a serious pur
pose to give the south a popular magazine of first-rate quality. The country
will look to Uncle- Remus for helpful words on public affairs.
Brooklyn Eagle: Announcement is made of Uncle Remus’s Magazine, edited
by Joel Cliandlor Harris. The announcement states his first editorial will be
called “Knowing Your Neighbors,” and those who have read it say it strikes
a new note in literature, and that it Is comparable in charm of style and
delicacy of exjn-ession only with the best of Stevenson.
Charleston News and Courier: There will be nothing narrow about Uncle
Remus's Magazine, and it will be southern only in the sense that it is Ameri
can. But we do not care what its prospectuses say—it is enough for appre
ciative and intelligent peoplo everywhere to know that Joel Chandler Harris
will manage it; as for the rest, it does not matter who is putting up the money
and running the presses and sweeping out the office.
Norfolk Vlrglninu-Pilol: Prom Atlanta the welcome announcement is made
of completed arrangements to supply adequately a long felt want in southern
literature. It is Uncle Remus’s Magazine, edited by Joel Chandler Harris. Al
together, its promise is of a monthly visitant to southern homes which will
absorb the interest of the old and young alike. Not that the circulation or
appreciation will be'confined to this section or even country. For Uncle Remus
is a household word wherever there are hearts open to the touch of genuine
pathos and genial humor. Whatever subject liis pen deals with is adorned
and Illuminated with mind and soul. The Virginian-Pilot will await with
Impatience so valuable an addition to its tables.
Charlotte (N. C.) Eveniug Chronicle: Uncle Remus’s Magazine will seek the
work of tlie best American authors and will rival tlie lThest magazines in the
country, of which there are now few. This little venture of Joel Chandler
Harris will be hailed with delight not only in tho south but throughout the
entire country. We have the utmost faith that it is to become an established
southern inistitution.
Atlanta Journal: Tlie announcement that Joel Chandler Harris will be
the editor of a new monthly magazine, southern in its sympathy and national
■a its scope, will be sure not only to cause something of a sensation in literary
and critical circles but the the most sincere gratification among the thousands
and thousands of readers who know Uncle Remus through his work. The sol
idity and financial standing of the stockholders named in the preliminary
announcement, and the amount of capital stock mentioned is an assurance
of the stability of the enterprise. »Um le Remus’s Magazine will start with
very bright prospects and at a very promising time, indeed.

HOW THE BATTLE OF CAMDEN

warm August sun found the two armies
when it looked down on the threatening
scene. A death-like calmness rested on
tho landscape, not a breath of air was
stirring, the leaves hung motionless on
their stems, and a thin haze veiled the
sky, and gave to the sun a bloodshot ap-! the
pearance as it slowly mounted into the I posed
heavens. All nature seemed to be hold

sapguniary scenes to come.

Kune.,
I as lie himself hatl ordered It in the hours
1 of darkness, lie decided to change the po-
sition of the left and center columns.
Right in the very tace or me foe, and
within easy striking distance, he opened
his columns and began to execute a dif
ficult maneuver with his undiseplined
militia.
Cornwallis looked on at first with sus-
picous amazement and presently with a
triumphant smile, as he immediately or
dered tho right divison to charge. ' The
bewildered militia were undulating on
the field in their clumsy efforts to get
their broken ranks cioscd up again, when
the Brtisli artillery opened fire on them,
and the swiftly advancing infantry pour
ed a destructive fire into their very faces.
They tried to rally. 'They were not
cowards, but were taken so totally at a
disadvantage, and were so helpless to de
fend themselves at the moment that their
nerves gave way, and their bodies fol
lowed their nerves. Tho Virginia militia
broke and fled.
The next moment the whole field was
in an uproar. The artillery on both sides
began its deadly work, while from swamp
to swamp it was one continuous flash
and near of musketry, as the two armies
rushed upon each other. The smoke of
rattle settled heavily down on the field,
j and rolled over the contending columns.
I The separate detachments of the armies
i thus became hidden from eaelP-other, and
i shouted and fought through the lark
i ; all. ignorant of what was .passing close
by them. The one party knew mot what
the others were doing. The thunder o.
artillery, the rattle of musketry, and the
loud strains of martial music of the signal
(•rum ana fife and bugle, added not a
little to the confusion.
The two columns assailed while trying
to reform, could- not recover their order
r nerve, and at last began to v < -oil in a
broken mass over the field. A rift in the
smoke revealed this fact to the eagle eyes
of Tarleton, and seizing the favorable
moment, he ordered his bugles to sound
the charge. The startling blast of thdse
bugles, and the knowledge of its mean
ing, sent a thrill of teiror through tho
already demoralized ranks, and the next
moment Tarleton’s fierce dragoons were
among them, trampling over the dea-1
and dying, and cutting down the fugi
tives without mercy. All was not lost
beyond recovery. The panic stricken
militia dashed backwards, and uncovered
the reserve of Continental troops stand
ing firm as a wall of rock in thei r ranks
They allowed the demoralized tide of ba f -
tie to flow past them, and then they-
closed sternly on the advancing enemy.
DeKalb. the brave warrior, towered on
foot at their head, with liis drawn sword
i; his hand, while his encouraging shouts
were heard even above the din of bat
tle. Ovgr the piles of dead which lay
iti his path, through the terrible tire that
was plowing through his devoted ranks,
be led his gallant command to the charge
It was a charge so fierce and determined
tnat the enemy gave back inch by inch.
The British charged in tlieir turn, rush-
■ng upon their brave foes with lixeq bay
onets, and tiring volley after volley as
•hey advanced. But tlie resolute conti
nentals never wavered, though their
ranks were rapidly thinning under the
overwhelming fire to which they were
exposed.
Again and again did the calm, stern
voice of their beloved leader carry them
on to the charge with terrible impetuos
ity. and three times in succession did
these heroes -close with their foes, bayo
net? to bayonet. But presently tlie whole
right wing of the British army, recalled
from Its pursuit of the fugitives, turned
its entire force upon the. devoted band of
patriots. Enveloped in tire and smoke
and fast dropping in their ranks, tnat
splendid band rio longer hoped to save
the battle, but they could save the honor
of the revered flag that waved above
them. Turning with tho fury -of despur
t pon the fresh battalions that came rustl
ing upon them, they cleared a terrible
-, ath for themselves, and stood at bay,
like a blazing citadel on the bloody field,
where ail was lost, indeed, save honor.
But now came hurtling upon their
thinned ranks, tho fierce Tarleton. His
legion came on at a swift gallop, and De
Kalb saw that the end had come. Shot
after shot had struck the brave veteran,
j and tlie blood was pouring from his side
Never was a victory more complete.
