Brief History Of the Life Of Mai. j. Il.
Broyles.
Chattanooga Times.

step forward and offer his services in
support of notification. He did 80
amid great cheering, and Gov. Nc
Dufey made him q major of infantry
on the spot by way Of recognizing and
approaching the fact that Maj. Broy]es
was the first volunteer in the State.
This is how he came by the title of
Major.
Maj. Broyles did not serve in the
Mexican war, this statement having
been an error on the part Of Mr.. Rey-
nard, who had forgotten the facts as
to the foregoing, but he was very
active in politics from hat time on.
In 1874 he served as a member of the
South Carolina Legislature, aud in
l847 moved to Tennessee, where he
purchased and developed a fine farm
on the Noiachuky river, eight miles
from Jonesboro. In 1855 he returned
to Anderson district and was again
elected to the Legislature Of South
Carolina. At the outbreak of the
civil war Mr.. Broyles was not permit
ted to enlist on account of his age,
although his sons served till the sur
render. Ia 1862 he removed to Dalton,
Ca, and in 1864 left with other refu-
gees for Marshallville, Ca, returning
to Chickamauga, Ca, in 1866, where
he lived until 1895. In that year he
moved to Chattanooga, living first at
East End and then on Montgomery
avenue.
Such is the history of Mr.. Broyles'
life. sHe has seen his parents and
brothers die, then his wife and every
n of his sons. He has seen epochs
pass like pictures in a panorama. He
remembers distinctly the war of 1912.
the Indian wars, the Mexican war snd
civil war, and is at present much in
terested in the Cuban situation.
In his younger days he was a great
politician and pamphleteer. He has
always been a man of literary and
musical tastes, being at one time a
superb violinist. He has a special
liking for the Bible, and knows the
New Testament almost by heart. He
is also we'll posted on Jewish history,
having a great liking for Josephus,
Philo and other ancient writer's.
He is q very decided democrat, anu,
having been the first man to secede
from the union in 1892, thereby gain
ing q military title, he still believes
in States rights and the supremacy Of
the South.
Aside from his two daughters he
had five sons, two Of whom died in
infancy. Edward Broyles died four
years ago in this city. Dudley H.
Broyles died during the war and DIR.
Julius j. Broyles last Thursday.
Mai. Broyles is q man of iron con-
sstus;ou. When a young man he.
could lift more and jump higher than
any man in Anderson district. He
drank 6 good deal in early life, and
says that it is his opinion hat every
body should drink whisky in modcra-
ton. He has also chewed tobacco
ever since he was Is yeaas old.
Twenty-Five years ago he experienced
his second sight, although at present
he is nearly blind.

All Doubts Dissipated.

"No woman said the somewhat
acrid lady, "should marry until she is
sure the man who asks her to do SO
really loves her. And she proceed
ed, gloomily, sit is very hard to be
sure of that"
Perhaps So replied the Kentucky
lady. "But l was absolutely sure
before l married"
II don't see how you could be. 1t
SO often happens that people do not
know their own minds"
There was no room for doubt in
this case. We were out sleighriding
the evening the colonel proposed TO
me. / had refused him several times
before, and / told him that I would
always esteem him as a friend. We
heard the Jingle of bells behind us.
The colonel's horse, a thoroughbred of
which he was very proud, 1uickencd
its pace at the sound. The colonel
looked around and exclaimed: Here's
the chance I've been waiting for.
That's Judge Peabody behind US. He
has been Dragging about that new
horse of his for the last six weeks, but
whenever I tried to get him right
down to . race he has dodged out OF it
somehow without acknowledging that
this horse could beat him."
"The colonel slowed up so as to let
the Judge overtake him. The Judge
didn't dare refuse the challenge, be-
cause he had a girl with him. He
would not allow himself to be humili-
ated in her eyes. AS soon as the two
sleighs were even. the colonel gave
u horse a cut with the whip, and
away we went, the animals with necks
eagerly extended and the people lean
ing owe the dashboards trying TO help
them along. For a few eeconds the
horses feet thumped on the road in
perfect rhythm; then we began to
move ahead. The village was about a
mile distant. and the colonel leaned
out, turned and shouted:
"'Judge, I'll see you at the post
Office
The Judge gave his horse a blow
with the whip, but he was already
using all the speed he had. l turned
around, half out Of the sleigh, TO
keep a lookout. The sleigh struck a
boulder and pitched me cut into a
%snowdrift. 1 was not hurt, and I gave
thanks when | saw the sleigh was not
wholly overturned and was speeding
on it's way to the postoficc, still seye-
raj lengths ahead of the Judge. I'm
agine my establishment when 1 saw
the colonel slow up, let the Judge
pass him, and turn round"
"He was coming back after you,"
suggested n of the listeners.
That exactly what he was doing.
And / concluded then and there that
when a Kentucky gentleman was will
ing to lose a horse a for my sake,
there wasn't any excuse for doubling
his affection"
