idea that Harris has been dissasso-

last post to bring him into state

has lived by no means a hermit's
life, but he has not been found in the
front ranks Of the political battles.
This may work as much to his ad-
vantage as to his disadvantage, some
think, in that he has made no active
enemies by opposing pet candidates
or projects.
He is now member Of the State
textbook commission and OF the
board of trustees of the University
of North Carolina. When Speaker he

His biography, as given in the 1888

attended the Virginia Military In
