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 Copyright. 190*>. oy Underwood tt Under wood, New York. Joel Chandler Harris. 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.

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.
