HE INDICTED JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Aged Negro, the Only One of His Race on
that Jury. Dead in Newport News

Newport, News. Va, Special-Cor
nelius Harris, the only Negro member
of the jury which indicted President
Jefferson Davis, of the Confederacy,
sitter the civil wsr, died here today, age
nearly seventy years. He was said to
be the only surviving member OF that
jury. Harris was a strong demoerar,
and an admirer of Bryan. After the
Iatter's defeat ID 1896 he wrote Bryan
a letter telling him lot to become dis
couraged: that the battle was only be-
gun. He received in reply a lengthy
letter from the Presidential sspirant.
After the war Harris settled in Rich
mond, and later was elected justice Of
the peace in Richmond's famous Jack
son ward. He RENAME there until ten
years ago, when he came to Newpf rt
News. He opened barber shop here,
and as fast as he earned money he put
it into property, and at his death he
owned cor siderable real estate here, as
well as in Richmond. He was elected
q justice of he peace here four years
ago. An effort was made to oust him
on account of the peculiar manner In
which he wrote his warran g, going by
his own law tustead of that Of the state
He won out court, however, and held
his office until defeated in election. He
was one of the best known Negro
characters in this section OF Virginia.

Speaking Of The controversy between
Editor T. Thomas Fortune and the
Washington Pest, The Colored Ameri-
can a few weeks ago made the follow
ing comment and suggestion:
The Post is an able 'urral. Mr..
Fortune is 8 capable and useful man.
Such potential fore; ought to get to-
gether."
To this olive branch hint Mr.. For
tune replies in the teTse and vigorous
English characteristic of the man, and
those VITO study the words, both on
their face and between the lines will
have no difficulty in comp1ehending
Mr.. Fortunes meaning or in reaching
the conclusion that he is deadly in earn
est. Mr.. Fortune says:
Get togethsI? Not much There
is 10 man or combination OF men who
can construct pla form upon which
editors of The Age and the Post could
stand two minutes without a hand to
hand fight. The two men think from
too absolutely irrec oncilsble points OF
view. We shall fight it out to the bit
ter end, and as We have the justice
and humanity side Of the contention
we are dead sure we shall win in the
end Twenty five years hence the edi
tor OF the Washington Po will ad
that his ideal Negro was a monstrous
impossibility in our Republic"
