Harris and 1 worked together for
some seven yours on the Savannah
News and our friendship wars 'unbroken
to Ids death.
Joe Harris was tire iiio^t mutvsunt
ing, yea, modest Mian 1 ever knew. This
characteristic made him appear un
social to strangers. but with congen
ial friends he would unlimher himself
and it was indeed 'a rare treat to spend
ait. 'evening in liis company. Harris
was never mueli of a talker, prefer
liny to sit back amLJeave it to the
others ; but occasionally he would put
in a word of witticism, and whatever
he said was always germain to the
point or brimful of humor. And Joe
Harris never penned a line or spoke
a word but it was worth reading or
bearing. He was loyalty 'itself to his
friends and they were "bound to him
with links of steel.
No famous mau ever eared so little
f<m. ltublio applause as Joel Chandler
Harris. He-would hide from admirers
hunting him up and Harris never made
a public speech ia his life. We have
been together at public gatherings and
banquets when I he room would be
ringing with calls for "Harris! Harris f
Harris!" Hut Joe would .snfile and
shake his head and if the calls wer*
too persistent he would slip away and
disappear.

As i lit* yea is rolled by (Jrady em
ployed Harris as editorial writer on
the Atlanta Constitution and 1 be
came owner of the Athens Daily Han

be^an to win fume ^s a literary writer.
I do not think .loo Harris realized his
talent until the world began to ap
plaud for his productions and .clamored
for more.
When Harris started on his "I'ncle
Hem lis" stories he wrote me enclosing
' copies oT several he had prepared, and,
, knowing my family had always been
I sla vo-owners. asked tlmt I refresh my
I memory and send him nil the old ne
? srro folk lore stories that, I could call
