genius of the sculptor, and II also
serves generation after generation to
lift the heart and animate the purpose
OF every lover OF heroic men and hero
ic deeds. 1t is a silent appeal to the COM
ing generations of Georgians through
all time, to rise to the heights of
heroic. unselfish conduct.
1t seems that before he was grown.
and before he entered the Second Reg
inent, Jasper was married His wife
was a Miss Wheatly Of Philadelphia.
BY her he had two children--a son and
a daughter. The son died early, leav-
ing no child. The daughter, Elizabeth
Martin Jasper, was married three
times and had three children in all,
who died young So that there is now
living no descendant of this illustrious
man.
Jasper In Verse.
Some years ago Hon. Robert M.
Charlton, in a poem on the death of
Jasper, which he calls "A Historical
Ballad" beautifully expresses the ad-
miration he felt for the heroic manner
of Jaspers death:
"But his banner caught his eye,
AS 1t trailed upon the dust,
And he saw his comrade die.
Ere he yielded up his trust.
10 tne rescue, loud ne cfleo,
To the rescue, gallant menl'
And he dashed into the tide.
OF the battle-stream again."
The poem was written long before
the Jasper Monument Association was
organized. and 1t seems to have con-
tanned an appeal for just such a move
ment as that which finally crystalized
into the organization which resulted in
the splendid figure we all know so well
in Ma~son Square. His lines were
these:
1T was thus that Jasper fell,
Meath that bright autumnal sky;
Has a stone been reard to tell
Where he laid him down to dief
To the rescue, spirits boldi
To the rescue, gallant menI
Let the marble page unfold
All his daring deeds againi"
Now to you. Daughters of the Revo-
luton, has been confded the pious
duty of experimenting the work Of the
association by marking this spot so as
to commemorate the daring exploit of
which 1t was the scene. It is appro-
pirate that II should be done by the
Daughters of the Revolution. The he
roic deed was the outcome of the tears
and entreaties of a woman.

negro, We're brought to Savannah yes
terday and lodged in the police station
house.
Bailey is a resident of this city.
Whitmarsh claims New York as his
home, and the negro halls from Fair
fax, S. G. They were all beating their
way on the railroads with Savannah
as their objective point, and bear all
the ear marks of road hustlers. 1t Is
alleged that the negro fired at the
brakeman, but the prisoners claim
that nothing of the sort happened and
tell an altogether probably story.
They had been beating their way
on the train, they relate, and jumped
off at Clio where another car was to
be picked up. They were in the act
Of reboarding the train when a switch
man saw them and ordered them on
the car. The men say they asked if
they would be allowed to work their
way to Savannah and were told to go
TO the conductor. This they would not
do fearing that they would be arrest
ed for stealing a ride.
The prisoners claim that when they
started off the brakeman started for
them. Evans had an unloaded pistol
and he drew it for the purpose of
the brakeman and making
his escape with his white comrades.
If this was his motive he was success
full and all three of the men got away.

1855 in the settlement formed
between Pedee and Santee riv-
ers in South Carolina on Black Mingo
river. His father was born in Ireland
and emigrated to America few years
before the birth of his son William. He
enlisted In the first company raised by
Capt. Francis Marion. This company
was raised by authority of the Council
of Safety, and Jasper served in its
ranks until it was disbanded. He then
enlisted in the Second South Carolina
Infantry as private soldier. This was
at the beginning of the war. On the
2Sth day of June, 1776, he performed
that extraordinary act of heroism at
Fort Moultrie, which is we'll known to
every American school boy. His regi-
ment was the garrison of that fort, and
was under terrific fire from the British
forces, both of artillery and infantry.
An Heroic Deed.
In the very hottest part of the en-
gagement the flag staff of the fort was
shot from it's place on the parapet.
Jasper called out to Col. Moultrie and
Immediately mounted the parapet in
the midst of q terrific storm Of shot and
shell, went down on the outside of the
wall, picked up the colors, nailed them
to a sponge staff and stood there hold
ing them until a staff could be pro-
vided. When this was done, he de-
scended into the fort again unframed.
His escape seems almost a miracle. The
exploit caused the whole army to ring
with his praises, but he himself did
not seem to attach much importance to
it, for when Gov. Rutledge rendered
him commission on account of it, he
declined 1t upon the ground that his
educational advantages did not qualify
him to be an officer, and he preferred to
remain a sergeant which he then was.
He, however, accepted a sword which
Gov. Rutledge presented to him at the
same time.
Jasper's Many Exploits.
It would be a long story to recount
all that tradition has said about the
exploits of Jasper from the time Of the
incident at Fort Moultrie until
his death. The greater part
of the time he was serving first in
Georgia and then in South Carolina,
along the Savannah river between
Augusta and Savannah Many tradi-
tons exist as to his exploits but they
are not authentic in every instance It
is certain that he took many prison.
ers In his scouting parties up and down
the river from the British and Tories
because he delivered them at
Charleston into the hands of the Amer
lean general.
It seems well established that he,
like many men Of desperate daring,
was humane towards his enemies
whenever they were in his power. He
soon acquired a name for gentle treat
ment of captives. II was well known
that he would not only not mistreat
them himself. but that he would not
allow a prisoner in his hands 10 be
harshly dealt with by anybody else.
The Rescue at the spring. u
We come now to the exploit Which

nah, when he encountered Mrs.
Jones who was in the depths of despair
because her husband, who was an
American by birth, and had taken the
oath of allegiance to the King, had de-
serted to the Americans and been cap
tured by the British and would GER
tainly be shot. She was so greatly dis
tressed that 1t appealed strongly to
Jaspers sympathy. He had one COM
panion with him, Sergt, Newton. De-
termined to see what could be done to
rescue the prisoner, he followed along
in their track until he got nearly to
Savannah, and then fianked them
|, through the woods by the side of the
Augusta road at the Spring which now
bears his name, thinking that they
would be sure to stop there for water
and that he might have a
chance to do something. The place
was then a beautiful wooded spot.
The spring was bold and the stream
ran off through the grass into the I'M
dergrowth which furnished an excel
lent opportunity for the concealment
of himself and his comrade Newton.
AS he expected, the British guard,
which consisted of a sergeant, a cor
poral and eight men, halted at the
spring with their two prisoners, whom
they had handcuffed, one of them be-
ing the husband of Mrs. Jones. There
were also some children who were with
the prisoners. Why there should have
been children among the captives has
never been explained.
Under British Guard.
The two soldiers of the guard were
left with the prisoners, and the other
eight men stacked their muskets
around a tree and went down to the
spring to get water. While they were
at the spring, Jasper and Newton
sprang from their conceaiment, shot
down the two guards who were left
with the prisoners. then seized two
more nuskets and levelled them on the
party unarmed at the spring and forced
them to surrender.
The prisoners were unbound and fur
nished with arms, and the whole party
returned to Purysburg except the two
who had been killed by Jasper ana
Newton. They were left there and no
account exists of what disposition was
made OF their bodies. The daring ex-
hibited in this exploit has rarely been
equalled. Two men captured ten, and
the feat was accomplished by a des-
perate audacity which took one chance
in a hundred. We stand to-day within
few. feet OF where this daring decd
was done.
The halo and glory surrounding this
brilliant exploit would have sufficed
to make his name illustrious In history
II he had not done anything else. Every
school boy who reads the story feels
his heart beat faster and a thrill Of
emotion passes over him. So long as
the story q the American Revolution
Is known and told 50 long will this
spot be memorable.

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE
To Physician aud Patient Alike.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist In the study
and treatment of piles and rectal dis
eases, recently stated that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure, the new discovery for
the cure of piles, was the most remark
able remedy he had ever seen or tried
in one respect; and that was the in
slant relief experienced in all cases,
no matter how severe, from the moment
the remedy was applied; this was the
more surprising to him, because he had
carefully analysed the preparation and
no trace of opium, cocaine or similar
poison could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because 1t is
rapidly taking the place of surgical op-
erations and because 1t Is so simple, so
easily applied, and contains no mineral
or other poisons SO commonly used in
pile cures.
DIR. Esterbrook reports that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure not only cures the va
rious forms of piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, no matter how severe the pain
or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the in
slant relief experienced from the first
application. Another important advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use
the remedy without detention from bus
mess or interference with daily occupa-
ton.
Mr.. ]. w. Rollins, of Sweet Springs,
Mo, writes: Il consider the Pyramid
Pile Cure without an equal; II cured
me in less than 30 days. 1 waited Is
DAYS or more 10 be sure was fully cur
ed before writing you; can now say
! am cured and shall recommend the
Pyramid Pile Cure at every possible
opportunity because II deserves H."
The popularity of this remedy Ia such
that all druggists now sell IL at fifty
cents a package and its sales exceed
athose OF all similar remedies combined.

Mich, for their book on cause and cure
OF piles.

Few People Know How Useful IL IL

Few People Know How Useful IL IL
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most eficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is q remedy that the more
you take of il the better; II is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eninently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
I All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antseptics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large. pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use. but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal says: II adj
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat: also believe the liver is great
