THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN Memories of ‘Uncle Remus’ Revived at Writers’ Club Meet ' Recollections of Joel Chandler Har ris, whom so few of his fellow towns men knew, and of Uncle Remus, with whom all the world s Intimate, were perhaps a bit fresher in the minds of a group of his triends Tuesday, though there was no donger that the shy philosopher and humorist of Gordon street would ever be forgotten by his contemporaries. Hut the observance Monday afternoon of the birthday of Mr. Harris at the Hotel Angley, brought out many old stories of Unele Remus and his ways and several new anecdotes which will take their place ln the annals of the Wren's Nest. It was & meeting of women, prin cipally, though they say a woman has no true appreciation of humor, Be that as it may, admirers of Uncle Re mus and his works have the women to thank for converting his old home into a perpetual memorial, where all the world may come and see the chair in which he rocked and saw visions of Brer Rabbit and the Briar Patch, and Aunt Minervy and Mr. Billy Saunders: the pen which translated the visions Into words; the tiny wood en house he hun_g near the gate for visiting wrens. he men of Atl:n& especially the older men, may heard quoting a quaint bit of Uncle Remus’ humor now and then; but it s the women who concelve and carry out the unutilitarian ideas, which add to the city's life something besides street improvements and the swelling of bank accounts, | Writers' Club Idea. ‘ The observance was under the di. rection of the Writers' Club, and It would appear that most of the writers exclusive of life Insurance writers, are authoresses, as th:‘y used to call them, \ It is true that Colonel Frederic 1., Paxon, In his capacity as chalrman of the advisory board of the Uncle Remus Memorial Assoclation, was A prominent figure, but a department store man is not awed at finding himself a masculine minority in a’ teminine forum. Joel Chandler Har ris, Jr., who contributed an article on his father's home life, was not so lnmgld. He sent his paper to be read by Miss Cobble Vaughn, Mrs. J. O. Parmele, president of the Writers' Club, presided, and storles of Uncle Remus and his oddities were told or tributes to his genius paid by a long list of speakers, which includ ed Mrs. A. McD. Wilson, president of the memorial assoclation; Mrs. T. 2‘ Stevens, grnldent of the Atlanta hapter, U, D. C.; Mrs, Nellle Peters Black, president of the State Federa tion of Women's Clubs; Mrs. Howard McCall, State regent of the D. A, R.; Mrs. John N. McEachern, Mrs. Ed ward Warner, Mrs. W. B, Price-Smith, Mrs. Joseph H. Morgan, Mrs. H. G. Hastings, Mrs, Florence Truax, Dr. Elizabeth Broach and Mliss Aline Simmons, who read the story of “Un cle Remus and the War.” _ Mrs, Joel Chandler Harris was guest of honor of the club. Several songs by Atlanta writers were lung‘ by Richard Bold, with accompaniment by Miss Ml.? Pottle. The program | was Arrang by Mrs. Lollie Bell Wylle. ' (‘olone! Paxon told the story of Car negie's visit to Atlanta and his de termination to see Uncle Remus at all costs, | “Mr, Carnegie was with a party of nationally famous men,” he said. “Phey Mw almost everything of in-/ terest in Atlanta, but Mr. Harris‘ could not be coaxed from his library, nor would he recelve a party of vls-i itors. Mr, Carnegie told me he would be willing to part with a considerable portion of his fortune If an interview could be arranged in no other way, and I became his ambassador. Three Notables Chat. “My. Harris finally agreed to see Mr. Carnegie and one other to be se lected by the Laird, who chose Dr. Lymon Abbott. They called at the Wren's Nest, and the resulting con versation, a blend of Dr. Abbott'u‘ scholarly English, Carnegile's broad Scotch and Uncle Remus’ soft Geor-“ gla accent with an occasional touch of dialect was something never to be | forgotten. “When Theodore Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt came to Atlanta they also greatly desired to see Uncle Remus, and he was coaxed to enter a closed cab and be driven to the Governor's Mansion, where he slipped in through ‘the back door and crept up to a quiet ‘room.” 1 Joel Chandler Harris, Jr,, youngest ‘son of the author and advertising manager of The Georgian, contrib \uted a glimpse of his father's home life distinetly different from the us ‘lual. Here Is a part of it: | “I have been asked to say some thing of my father's home life—some thing of my father as his children knew him. To do this is simply to tell vou—to repeat to you—things that each of you prebably know. His children were his friends—and as such we knew and loved him as you did.

In order to keep the blood in condition, it must be well supplied with fresh nutriment and the products of waste freely eliminated. Many ailments arise from dyspep sia. Imperfect digestion is very often caused by defective elimination—con stipation. Undigested food remains on the stomach until decomposed, causing dyspepsia, rheumatism, constipation, biliousness, or perhaps even to irrita bility and sleeplessness. Much dys pepsia would be avoided by attention to the condition of the stomach, and by obedience to one or two simple rules: (1) To eat slowly; (2) to masticate thoroughly; (3) to take no liquid with meals, excepting break fast, but drink a glass of water, hot preferable, in which two teaspoonfuls of JACOBS' LIVER SALT has been added, on rising in the morning.

There were only two people to whom he would talk over the phone, One is my broth. er Jullan and the other is Clark Howell, eldtor of The Constitution, And t'hcn he absolutely had to be as sured that it was either Julian or Mr. Howell on the other end of the line When he was alone at home, he would let the phone bell ring serenely on, while he rocked in the big sitting room chair. It didn't bother him, He didn’t bother it, He and the telephone had an understanding. “My father's love for wild animals was unbounded.

They were written when 1 was too young to listen. And had I been old enough I would not have heard them, because Uncle Remus never told a story in his life except on paper. Ido not refer to an anecdote or a joke, but a published story. Uncle Remus, as I knew him, seldom talked-—except on rare occa sions—then he was usually reminis cent. Careless of Details. “Details didn't bother him. Not in the slightest. He never looked at a slgn on a street car. When downtown he caught his car by the motorman.

Many's the time I have sat down by him on the car and ridden all the way to West End without his knowing who was seated next to him. “When a man both great and good has gone from our midst, his faults are always forgotten—but I can not be true to the task or pleasure of writing this articie without stating plainly that my father had two faults, His major fault was his unerring gen erosity in paying the fine of one} Charlie Dennis, our butler, who was invariably in the hands of Jedge Briles every Monday morning.
