Jacob Brawler (>av? Himself and 123
Sons For Liberty.
Editor Star:?When in Charleston
last August my attention was called
to a remarkable incident of the revolutionary
war. I have looked up the
facts in Gregg's history of the old
Cheraws, pages 403-404. While the
facts may be known to some of your
readers, I think the publication of
them will prove of much interest.
J. M. HOLLADAY.
"Another name which has no place
in history, and is now unknown in
the region where he lived, deserves,
in one respect, at least, the first place
in the annals of the Pee Dee, if not in
the story of the revolution throughout
the thirteen colonies. Jacob
Brawler gave his own life and the
lives of twenty-three sons to the cause
of liberty in Carolina. He removed
from the Tar river, North Carolina,
to Liberty precinct, and settled on
Catfish, sixteen miles below the present
village of Marion. He was married
twice, and had large families by
both wives, all of whom were sons
except one, a daughter. After the
fall of Charleston, some of the sons
were drafted; but the old man said
there should be no division among
them, that if one went, all should
go, and that he would accompany
them. Twenty-four in all, tney embarked
in the strife, and almost incredible
to relate, but one of the sons
returned to tell the tale of slaughter.
Overwhelmed by the calamity, the
'frantic wife and mother went off, not
knowing whither, in search of her
loved ones, but only to return, after
a fruitless search, a broken hearted
mourner. She was eventually put
upon the parish, and lived to old age.
The surviving son, who was of weak
mind and body, died a few years after
and the name became extinct in
Marion."
A foot note adds:
"This account, which may appear
almost incredible, was related to the
author by the late Hugh Godbold, of
Marion, and confirmed in every par- ticular
by William Shaw, a humble
but worthy and respectable man, who i
was of age at that time, lived in the
same neighborhood and knew the
family of Brawler jvell. Mr. Shaw
was born in March, 1759, and in the
spring of 1859, when the author
spent a night with him at the house
of Mr. Godbold, was possessed of astonishing
vigor of body and mind for
one of his years. Neither his sight
nor hearing was very seriously impaired.
He sat up to a late hour,
listening with unabated interest to
a conversation about the early days
of the Pee Dee, taking part himself,
and was as cheerful as a man in his
prime. He said a red oak was then
living which stood in Brawler's yard. ,
Brawler was poor, but ingenious. He
adopted the following method of i
cathhing bears: Driving sharp nails, 1
pointing downward in a bee-gum, he *
baited it at the bottom, having se- '
cured it well. The bear, putting his
head down, would be caught beyond
the possibility of extraction. William
Shaw had passed his hundredth
year when the author saw him for
the first and last time, and, in considering
his activity, was one of the
mast remarkable cases of longevity
on record.?Marion Star.
* DOUBLE FUNERAL.

s
Anderson, Oct. 9.?There was a
double funeral yesterday for the Rev.
G. M. Rogers and wife at Beaverdam
church, one of the first churches of
which the Rev. Mr. Rogers was pastor.
For many days Mr. Rogers had
been extremely ill, and it was generally
felt that it was his last illness.
Mrs. Rogers was perfectly well last
Sunday when one of the family visit?ed
her, and she then said that she
would go first and be waiting for her
husbancl. While Mr. Rogers said he
had hoped that he and Mrs. Rogers
would go together, as he did not want
to be separated from her. They had
lived together for 63 years. Monday

children, realizing that the father
could live only a few days, decided
to abide by their wishes and not seperate
them in death. Mr. Rogers
died Tuesday night. He was never
conscious after the death of his wife.

The Quinine That Does Not Affect the Head
Because of its tonic and laxative effect, LAXATIVE
BROMO QUININE is better than ordinary
Quinine and does not cause nervousness nor
ringing in head. Remember the full name and
look for the signature of E* W. GROVE* 30c.
You Do More Work,
You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have a very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.

and Enriching the Blood. When you feel
its strengthening, invigorating effect, see
how it brings color to the cheeks and how
it improves the appetite, you will then
appreciate its true tonic value.
GROVE'S TASTELESS Chill TONIC
is not a patent medicine, it is simply
IRON and QUININE suspended in Syrup.
So pleasant even children like it. The
blood needs Quinine to Purify it and IRON
to Enrich it These reliable tonic properties
never fail to drive out impurities in
the blood.
The Strength-Creating Power of GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC has made it
the favorite tonic in thousands of homes.
More tb?n thirty-five years ago, folks
would ride a long distance to get GROVE'S
TASTELESS Chill TONIC when a
member of their family had Malaria or
needed a body-building, strength-giving
tonic. * The formula is just the same today,
and you can get it from any drug
store. 60c per bottle.
