NOTED AUTHOR DEAD
Joel Chandler Harris Is Called to
the Beyond.
KNOWN AS “UNCLE REMUS’
Pn the Death of Mr. Harris, the South
Has Lost One of Its Most Brilliant
Contributors to Literature—Had a
World-Wide Reputation.
Atlanta, July 4.—Joel Chandler
Harris, journalist and author of the
Uncle Remus stories, died Friday
night at 8 o'clock at his home in West
End.
The noted author was surrounded by
all the members of his family, who
had realized for several days that
death was inevitable. He was total
ly unconscious for twelve hours pre
ceding his death.
Realizing that the end was near,
Uncie Remus was genial and resolute.
He made no attempt to conceal his
belief concerning himself from the

membeis of his family. His irresis
tible humor, his indomitable good
spirits never deserted him. The old
playful, whimsical manner in his in
tercourse with the family was preserv
ed until he sank into final uncon
sciousness .
Friends Were Anxious.
Since the first publication of the
news that Uncle Remus was desper
ately ill, his friends throughout the
city and in all parts of the country
have besieged the house for news of
the patient’s condition. During his
life-time many of the most notable
people of the world have sought
the quiet little home in West
End to see the philosopher
and the gentle humorist whose work
has so enriched American literature.
His house was one of the places of
national interest. To it men of every
profession and degree of prominence
made pilgrimage while In Atlanta.
During the past two days hundreds
of callers have visited “Snap Bean
Farm’' in sadness. Scores of tele
grams from friends and admirers all
throughout the state and nation have
been received containing expressions
of sympathy and affection.
Joel Chandler Harris had his first
taste of newspaper life on the Coun
tryman, a weekly newspaper publish
ed by Joseph Addison Turner, on his
plantation 9 miles from Eaton ton, in

the county of Putnam.
Aftsr leaving the plantation he was
engaged in newspaper work in Savan
nah. Macon and New Orleans. He
practiced law at Forsyth, Ca., at the
same time doing editorial work.
The “Uncle Remus” Series.
He joined the staff of the Atlanta
Constitution in 1876, and it was
through his connection with this pa
per that he entered upon the w-ork
which has made him famous wherever
the English tongue is spoken. In
the files of the Atlanta Constitution
will be found much of his best work,
both serious and humorous. -In addi
tion to his able editorial contribution
there appear the first of the Uncle
Remus stories, which were later col
lected and published in book form.
Before Uncle Remus took up this
w'ork a series of dialect stories by
Sam W. Small, who was writing un
der the sobriquet “Old Si,” had been
a regular and attractive feature of the
paper. When these ceased Captain
Evan P. Howell, then editor of the
paper, urged Mr. Harris to carry on
the feature. The latter demurred,
declaring he had never done any dia
lect writing in his life. Captain
Howell insisted, however, and told Mr
Harris he could easily make a big
success of the work. Racking his
brains. Mr. Harris thought of one of
the old folk-lore stories that had been
told him on the plantation in Put
nam county. This he reduced to
writing, using the negro dialect, and
published It under the name of Un
cle Remus. Other stories followed.
They made an instantaneous hit.
Known Throughout World.
The seriel* began at that time have
since been read throughout the civil
ized world. From them the author
received a generous return in money,
in addition to the income from his reg
ular newspaper and magazine work.
But better than the material rew r ard,
he received the blessings of countless
thousands of little children whom he
has made happy.
