I A HERO < REVOLUTi j Interesting Sk ? Previously Unj y Gastonla (N. C.) Gazette. The sketch given below of Robert Kilpatric, a Revolutionary hero, was found among the papers of the late Rev. Robert Ljathan, D. D.. who died a few years ago at Chester, S. C. Dr. Lathan was a brother of Mrs. J. B. Wylie, and an uncle of Mrs. W. M. Wilson, of this city. This sketch has never before been printed and will be of Interest to many Gazette readers. Dr. Lathan, the writer of it, was the author of "A History of the Associate Reformed Church," and "A History of Hopewell Church. Chester County, South Carolina." In the cemetery at the last named place rest the remains of Robert Kilpatric. Sallie, a daugh ter of Klipatrlc. married Robert Patterson. Her daughter. Martha, married Samuel Martin Lathan. father of Dr. Robert Lathan and Mrs. J. B. Wylie, and grandfather of Mrs. Wilson. The family was a long-lived one. James Lathan, father of Samuel Martin Lathan, is burled in County Entrain, Ireland, having lived to be about 100 years old. Samuel Martin Lathan lived to be 93 years old, and is burled in Hopewell cemetery. Martha Patterson Lathan lived to be 81 and is also buried at Hopewell. Robert Patterson, her father, lived to be 85 and is buried in Illinois. Sallie Patterson lived to be 82 and is also buried in Illinois. Another daughter of Robert Kilpatric married James Dunn, who Is buried in the cemetery at Old Plsgah in this county. Following is the sketch of Kilpatric: The names of many of those who sacrificed their all in the struggle for American Independence have never, as yet, been inscribed on the page of history. The family name of many has died out of the country. Not even in many instances a rude stone marks the place where they were buried. They were humble sons of toil. They came to America that they might be free: and having been oppressed by the mother country, they threw off the yoke and fought and suffered that their children might be free. So soon as liberty was gained they returned to their humble homes to engage in the various Dursuits of life. They grew old and died and now the multitudes of those who enjoy the fruits of their tolls and sacrifice do not even know that such men ever lived. Robert Kilpatric, or as he was familiarly called. Bob Kilpatric, belonged to this class. He came to America some years before the breaking out of the Revolutionary war. The precise time is not certainly known, perhaps it was in 17T5 and settled in Fairfield county. South Carolina, near the headwaters of Wateree creek, afterwards moved to Chester county, South Carolina. and settled on the road from ChesterviHe to Winnsboro, within a few yards of the spot on which Hopewell church now stands. He was an Irishman and the tradition is that he was forced to fly from his native country on account of a rebellion into which he and some others had entered against some of the king's officers. He and his party had met one night that they might concert plans for action, when, to their utter surprise, the house In which they were, was surrounded by the king's troops. Kilpatrlc and his party were seated at a table, on which a single candle was burning. One of their number was writing and the rest were making suggestions. Without a moment's warning the door was broken open and the party were in the hands of an armed band of soldiers. The door was guarded. and after an examination of the company by the soldiers, it was decided to hang the whole of them on the spot. Ropes were put around their necks, and death by the halter began to stare the rebels in the face. The house, it seems, was small, and the soldiers having rushed In stood on the side next to the door, whilst Kilpatric saw it was but death anyway, and he determined to escape or die in the attempt. Being a very large man, and also a man of great strength, he first blew out the light and then made a plunge amongst the king's troops, running over some and knocking others down, he opened a i>ath to the door and leaped out into the darkness. The rest of the party followed, and all, in the confusion and darkness escaped. For a considerable time Kiipatnc kept himself concealed. Finally he determined to come to America. What little money he had was put into a belt, and fastened around the person V_ ^ of his wife beneath her clothes. This was done from the fear that he might be captured by the government officers and lose both his money and life. By prudent management. Kilpatric and his family were enabled to get away from Ireland. Still, he was in continual dread during the passage of eight weeks, lest he should be seized, put in irons and sent back to Ireland to be tried, condemned and executed. With a heart full of joy he set his feet upon the shores of America in the city of Charleston. When the Revolutionary w?r broke out, he, without a moment's hesitation espoused with all of his tho .-fiiis.' of the Whigs. The care of the family was committed wholly to his wife. Unfortunately for her their home, both in Fairfield and Chester, was hard by a nest of Tories. These were a class of persons who could not be said to be friends of the British government, but a set of heartless monsters, who banded together to plunder the Whig women in the absence of their husbands. Mrs. Kilpatrlck spent a kind of migratory life. The plantations owned by her husband were, perhaps, less than ten miles apart. Whenever the Tories made it dangerous to be on the plantation in Chester county, she would take her children and go to the one in Fairfield. During the year 1780 after the fall of Charleston and the march of the British through the up-country, these Tories became desperate. The houses of the Whigs were watched almost constantly and it was at the peril of his life that a Whig soldier visited his family. Mothers were forced to keep the whereabouts of their husbands a profound secret from their children. After the rout of Sumter at Fishing Creek many of the Whigs of Chester. York and Fairfield were forced to hide themselves, as best they could, and depend upon supplies carried to them OF THE | JON,... * | etch By Rev. Dr. Lathan ] )ublished J X by their wives during the darkness of 1 the night. Whenever a band of To- 1 ries entered a house the first thing 1 that thev asked, was "where is the man of the house?" whatever his name was. The Whig women were as plucky as the men. When they were present and the Tories would come and threaten to kill them if they did not tell where their husbands were hid. they were told that If they did kill them. Sumter would hang the last one of them. Mrs. Kilpatrick always charged her children, when she left the house, to tell anyone who might visit them during her absence inquiring for their father, that he had gone to mill. The children knew not, but this was the fact, but the Tories understood It. Some time during the disorganized condition of the Whig forces, Robert Kllpatric learned that his children were all down with the smallpox. He left his hiding place and ventured to go to his house that he might look upon the faces of his little ones, perhaps for the last time. Stealthily he enter ed his own numoie dwelling, ana found his three little girls covered with the loathsome disease. In the house there was not a mouthful of bread and the only edible they had was the head of his milch cow the Tories had killed and carried off a short time before, leaving the head to the afflicted family. The heart of the strong man was filled with grief and in awful silence he sat down and rested his head upon his hands. He had not entered his house unseen; nor was he permitted to indulge in the distressing scene which lay before his eyes. The Tories saw him when he entered, and like so many furies rushed upon him.

He was seized by a band of ruffians, dragged from the house and a halter placed around his neck. What could he do? He was overpowered. A few moments and all would be over. He would not beg. Just as the awful moment approached when he was to be hanged because he was a Rebel, a horse neighpj on the opposite side of the house and as all the Tories were a3 lazy as they were cruel, the whole band rushed out, each anxious to secure for himself the horse and Bob Kllpatrlc pulled the rope from his neck and dashed for the woods, leaving both the Tories and his sick children. It was not until Borne time In 1731, about a year after the occurrence Just related, that he flared visit his family. The Tories were made furious by his escape and swore vengeance against him if they ever put their hands upon him again, rhe next time that he came into the neighborhood it became known and 3trict watch was kept for him. By some means or other he was surprised, not in his own home, but some place near Hopewell creek. As before the rope was fastened around his neck and ill kinds of insults were heaped upon him. He was cursed and abused for making his escape on the previous occasion and told that they were determined that they would hang him this time. He seems to have come to the firm conclusion himself, that his days were soon to come to an end. The place, where he was captured, was a kind of glade and no tree being eonve lient It was necessary to go a rew roas to find a limb upon which the unfortunate Whig might be hanged. The party war in earnest, so soon as the (roods were reached they commenced the search for a suitable limb. One nan with a loaded musket was left in fharge of the prisoner, whilst the others scattered about some few steps from him in search for a limb. Whilst the party was hunting for a ^allows, the puppy who stood guard aver him picked up a piece of dry cow I manure that lay near by and placing ] it to the nose of Kilpatrlc, asked him if he did not want to smell old Ireland. This was too great an insult for Robert Kilpatric to bear although being led to the gallows. He drew his heavy arm and with one blow laid the rile rascal senseless upon the ground and again took to the woods.

The Tories never put their hands upon Robert Kllpatric again. He lived to see his country free and the names of the Tories who attempted to hang him covered with lasting disgrace. Three times he had the rope around his neck to be hanged, yet he died in his own bed and we think at the advanced age of 115 years. When the war of 1812 broke out he sent two of his sons to help In driving the British from the country. A plain slab marks his last resting place in Hopewell graveyard. In Chester county, South Carolina. Testing His Love.?A dentist received a call the other morning from a couple whom he soon had reason to believe were lovers. The girl had an aching tooth, and as they entered the operating room the young man said: "Now, dear, the worst is over: just take a seat and it will be out In a minute." "Oh," she gasped; "I can't!" "But it really won't hurt you, you know." "But I am afraid it will." "It can't. I'd have one pulled out In a minute If It ached." "I don't believe it." "Oh, yes, I would." "Has she got a bad tooth?" asked the dentist. "Yes," answered the young man; "it has ached for a week, and I've Just succeeded in getting her down here. Come, dear, have it out." "Oh, I can't!" "But, you must." "I can't stand the pain." "Pain? Now, then. I'll have one pulled out Just to show you that it doesn't hurt." He took a seat, leaned back, opened his mouth, and the dentist seemed to be selecting a tooth to correspond with his forceps, when the girl protested. "Hold on; the test Is sufficient. He has proved his devo | tlon. Get up, Marry, ana 1 u imve n. pulled out." She took the chair, had the tooth drawn without a groan, and as she went out she was saying to the young man: "Now, I can believe you when you declare that you would die for me." And yet every tooth In his head was false. ut-ff* Chicago now claims a population of 2,343,405. ;ttiest and Lowest Priced Xmas G COMPANY'S THOM UC1NG SAL I N U E S ? :-Keducing ana ractory-^c >N CO.'S Customers the Bi he Year to Save Real Cai alra?in buying Ladies' ai ats, Dress Goods, Silks, N Shoes, Men's and Boys' B< , Furnishings, Underwea ks, Suit Cases, Bags, etc., ( is Reduction Sale IT AT THOMSON' SW* SHOES FOR MEN, \A J Our Entire stock of SHOES fc * is Hit by the Reduced Pric Opportunity for Saving R Just at a Time when Sa 5 F.niovments?See Our SI 5 Shoes at Thomson's?Yoi 0 1 W LADIES' SUITS ?

It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postoffice. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year. All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order. In sending the names, Always give correct names or Initials, and present postofflce address, and If possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much trouble and confusion. In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will be allowed for the working off of the tie. After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914, at 0 p. m? the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed. L. M. GRIST'S SONS, Publishers YORKVILLE .... S.
