How Joel Chandler Harris Happened to Begin Writing Them. Many great works of genius, ns is well known, have been produced by accident; and an author is seldom the best judge of his own work, says Current Literature. When Joel Chandler Harris wrote the first of his Tuple Remus" stories, and presented it for publication, he did so with a hundred misgivings. He not su>*e that his ventures in ir-gro folklore would prove successful. He could not ,<nmv vv,l:" tlu-y would bring him 1 worhl-wide lame. I At the time described, Mr. Harris I was a young man . f 28. employed on I Hie Atlanta Constitution. Sam \Y j Small, afterward a reviva'isl, who I had been writing for the same paper I a popular column of negro story and I dialect, had just resigned from I lie I staff. The managing editor of (lie Constitution, wishing to continue the I feature, said to Harris one dav: ''Joel, it seems to me yon could do that sort of thing In a lee. See if \on can t turn in something tonight." The young writer's memory flitted back to his early day;* on a ofanlatjou. All the quaint sayings of negro) life?the little cabins, the fiddling \ darkies. the wrinkled story-teller, the black "mammies,M the noisy corn shuckings, the bobtailed rabbits disappearing along the road?cniuc hurrying lrom the past. Late that afternoon ho turned in his copy. The next day his reputation was made. To tho Democratic Voters of Newberry County: T am a candidate for the house of representatives. I would say to tho voters and citizens of Newberry town and county that I am !n favor of: local option, and especially a county distillery, located in some convenicnt place, and with a capacity of not loss a hundred gallons per day. I ! on in favor of a distillery because tlic manufacture and sale of liquor i brings in more revenue than any other commodity. The distillery to use only sound fruit and grain in the j manufacture of the liquor; no chemicals to bo used to enlarge the yield. . For example, we will make a mathe-| matical calculation to see what it i will cost to run a distillery full time for twelve months: Corn. 18.250 bush- ! els at 00c. per bushel, will be $10,- i fX'O for one year. Labor, ton men at ' * .00 per month, $.1,000 per year. ' Wood, $2,1 no per year, three cords ; per day at $2.00 per cortf. rTovern- ! "lent tax. $30,500 per year. Yield, j .'{0,500 gallons, which wili sell at $1.00 ! per gallon, makig $140,000. the total , expense hein<r $H.2I0. leaving a ;-"o- ' fit of $02,700. This profit ean be applied to the : building of permanent roads and i other county expenses, which will do I away with levying a special tax on real estate for that purpose. Respectfully. Os. Wells.
