LEFT FORTUNE BY
'" MAN HE HELPED
Bristol, Va., Aug. 24. Joe Harris
for many years an auctioneer in Knox
ville, Tenn., and well knownHo many
of the older residents of Eaa 'Tennes
see, according to correspondence re
recivsd rthrough r J. Dv . Srrtythc, an
English lawyer, has suddenly come
into the possession of an estate valued
at $2,000,000.
In the day when Harris was con-
spicous as a street auctioneer, whfen
was about 1&8, a stranger, without
means, and apparently a tramp, called
on him for money enough for break
fast. Harris was impressed with the
sincerity of the stranger, gave him a
quarter of a' dollar and a breakfast.
The stranger was. .William Robinson,
a Scotchman. He remained' in -Knox-
ville for some time, becoming better
acquainted with Harris. Harris mean
while was elected to the Tennessee
Legislature from -Knosyille. Before
leaving to enter upon his duties,
Robinon struck him for money enough
to pay his expenses on a prospecting
tour in the west. . Harris let him
have $100 and bought him a railroad
ticket, This was the extent of his
material help. After that .Harris re
ceived letters from Robinson from
Butte, Mont., and other points in the
West.-
Finally, in 1893,. Harris received a
letter from Cape Nome which contained
a draft for $500 in his favor; In that
letter - Robinson told Harris .that . he
had struck It rich in the gold-fields of
the north and was profuse in his
thanks for past avors. - Harris consid
ered this draft, full payment, of . any
and all ' debts, whether cash debts or
debts of gratitude. , He told. Harris he
would bear more from him - later.
Nothing was beard, .however, -until a
letter, received by Colonel Cary Spence,
postmaster at Knoxville inquiring for
information about Harris. Colonel
I Spence toon located Harris, '.and the
newsv of his " good fortune, was made
known to. him. -Lawyer Smythe'said In 1
this letter that, he" was sailing from
England, and gave an address where
any communication with reference
Harris would reach him, . The. old auc
tioneer' of a quarter of a century and
more " will get - in tocommumcation
with the lawyer in the case at the ear
liest oossiple moment, in order to ascer
tain -to what extent "the yield Is in his
case of "bread cast upon the waters."
Harris is 'both excited and rejoiced
over the news. He talks interestingly
about his long-ago acquaintance with
the poverty stricken Scotchman, k,.

" To Put It In The Boxes
' On the Sabbath. :
ALREADY 5 IN EFFECT
Law Is . Not .Welcome at
the New Bern Post
. Office.
There is certainly trouble in- the
NewBern postoffice.
Under the recent appropriation act
fof Congress, for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 19LJror tb one already be-
gun,- tne - postmaster , is required to
close the general (delivery and carriers'
windows and!, lock boxes from Satur
day midnight to Sunday midnight.
The new law does -not prevent the de
livery of special delivery letters on
Sunday and it applies only to first and
second class offices.
- Upon inquiry, it is found that the
number of pieces of mail received and
despatched at the New Bern post office
is about 13,000 pieces per day. There
fore the number of pieces received on
Sunday and the number received on
Monday, together with the mail to
be despatched on Monday, plus the
Sunday mail, will" amount to, approxi-J
imately, 26,000 pieces. It is under
stood . that there are only six clerks
in the office and it is very much of a
question as to what time of day the
public will be able to get the mail that
comes to the post office Sunday to be
delivered to the public on Monday.
When the announcement of the new
ruling was made public last night, one
prominent business man, who probably
gets as much mail as any one in town,
said:
"It appears to those who have stopped
to think about it that this law will
work a great . hardship on the office
force and a greater one on the public.
understand that under the present
schedule of the office three clerks are
on duty two or three hours on Sunday.
To inaugurate the new system,, when
this law is put into effect, it will take
as many clerks to handle the mail as
it now does. So it is hard to see where
and how the clerks, will be benefitted
in any way, though that is said to be
the purpose of the new scheme."
It has been suggested that New Bern
can in part obviate the inconvenience of
the new law by having its daily papers
addressed on Sunday to Bridgeton or
ames City which are not first or sec
ond class offices. ,
