Proposed Memorial of
“Unde Remus”
Dear Friends :
We believe you are a friend
to Mr. Joel Chandler Harris,
better,knownas “Uncle Remus,”
the modest benelactorot myriads
of old and young, white and
colored. He passed swaa at
“Wren’s Nest” in his horn*' in
Atlanta, July 3rd, 1908. He
was an official in this “Juvenile
Protective Association,” and our
record preserves the following
words from him in his letter of
acceptance “I shall be delighted
to be indentified with the move
ment you have in hand,”
His son, Julian Harris, is now
his official successor and writes
us, “The compliment you sug
gest is of course a very beautiful
one, JJas it is intimately allied
with young people, nearly all ot
whom may need just the help,
encouragement and teachings
that they can acquire through
your Association. * * We
are happy in the thought that this
sentiment should be centered
about the memory of one who is
near and dear to us.”
This Association proposes to
erect by the large and small sub
scriptions of the admirers of
“Uncle Remus” a beautiful Me
morial Home, bearing his name
having a school, a pioperly
equipped gymnasium, a mechan-
ical workshop and a play ground.
The Association is to have a
number of cottages, buildings,
the largest of which will be the
capitol, and the whole education
al plant to be known as the Ju
venile Stale, being built on ihe
429 acres of land given us, to
redeem and train children of
this and other states.
Will it not give you pleasure
to contribute to the erection of
this home and school combined ?
Every dollar donated will go for
the purpose indicated, and not
to any officer or employee of our
Association.
If you wish to make a sub-
scription please send the same
to W, R, Hammond, Treasurer,
912 Century Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.
Hoping to get an early reply
from yours, we are,
Yours truly,
E. C. Calloway

a ten days stay at the encamp

“hikes” were the warriors, but
their condition was “fit” and
spoke well for the treatment
they received and the rations
provided. Between ten and
twelve thousand men were at
the camp last week and Co. G.
received favorable mention.
Three sham battles were
fought on Monday, Friday and
Saturday respectively, and drills
wtre held each day, and a grand
review on Monday, the final day.
Taps at tea at night, reveille at
five next morning ; water near by
for bathing and drinking pur
poses, battalion drills, dinner and
a rest, skirmishes, rest again,

day passed . The Civil war bat'
ties of that region were re-fought,
Tennessee troops posing as the
enemy; there were rumors of
ptomaine poisoning ; an unskill
ful wounded himself with the
butt end of his bayonet; visitors
were plentiful ; it was au event
ful week. Soldiers went from
Carroll, joining the remaindei of
the company at Cedartown. All
are enthusiastic over their expe
rience, and ready to repeat it.

from Atlanta and other cities of
the state, at an old fashioned
Southern barbecue, Tuesday, at
the little park belonging to Mr.
L. C, Mandeville, situated just
back of his residence. The hour
for dinner was set at two o’clock
for the convenience of the out
of town gueBts, who arrived at
12 130, and spent the remainder
ot the day in the city,. The day
proved an ideal one for such an
affair, being cloudy aud cool,
but with no hint of dampness iu
the atmosphere. A large tent
was set up as a place ot refuge
iu case of a shower, but its shel
ter was not needed. Midway
between the tent and the meat
pit was placed the long table ex
tended at each end by tables of
nearly equal length, placed at
right angles to the main board.
The table cloths were products
of the Mandeville Mills and the
tab’es presented a strikingly at
tractive appearance after their
arrangements by Mr. J. H. Pitts.
Mr. Pitts furnished cider, ap
ples, peaches, grapes, cante.
loupes and watermelons for the
party, both fruits and cider bav
ing been produced on his farm.
Down the entire length of the
table ran rows of beautifully
colored fruit and mammoth to
matoes, while at intervals were
placed vases of wild flowers.
The meat which was barbecued
under the able direction of Mr.
G. H. West, with a number of
negro assistants, consisted ol
three carcasses, two of mutton
and one pork. It was done to a
turn and was only equalled by
the famous Brunswick stew,
without which, no barbecue is
complete. The remainder of
menu consisted of brown and
white bread, pickles, the fruits,
cider and watermelons.
After dinner the company
seated themseles on camp chairs
and benches and enjoyed a num
ber of short speeches. Mr. J. A.
Aycock the manager of the mills, men *
after a lew remarks, presented
Mr. S. J. Boykin, as master ol
ceremonies, a position which he
fills with skill. One after an
other, the cut of town guests
were called on, beginning with
Mr. John Hill of Atlanta, and
each made a few remarks ex
pressing their interest in the
mills and their pleasure in being
present. The directors were
then called on in turn and all
responded. Particularly inter
esting was the talk given by Mr.
Hamilton Hogan on “The Cot
ton Mill Industry in the South.”
Mr. H. O. Lovvorn secretary
and treasurer of the mills, gave
a resume of their history, citing
their growth from a small oil
mill of £30,000 capital, twelve
years ago. to the present large
systems of mills aud gins with
a capital of nearly half a million.
Mr. L C. Mandeville, the presi
dent, closed the after dinner
speeches with a short talk about
the cotton business and then in
vited the guests a tour of inspec
tion of the mills. They were
taken over the oil mill and gin
nery, acid plant and mills 1 and
2. The Atlanta visitors return
ed at dusk for supper, later visit-
iag the mills again, in order to
see them lighted. Their hosts
flagged the 7 *50 train for them
at the mill door, and the guests
departed with many appreciative
