DOUBLE FUNERAL.
Minister and Wife Not Parted in
= ~. Death,

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 pas
tor. For many days Mr.. Rogers had
been extremely ill, and it was gener-
ally felt that it was his last illness.
Mrs. Rogers was perfectly we'll last
Sunday when one of the family visit
ed her, and she then said that she
would go first and be waiting for her
husband. 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
Mrs. Rogers died very suddenly. The
children, realizing that the father
could live only a few days, decided
to abide by their wishes and not sep
crate them in death. Mr.. Rogers
died Tuesday night. He was never
conscious after the death of his wife.

|'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 flrst place
in the annals of the Pee Dee, If not IN
the story of the revolution through
out 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 pres
ent village of Marion. He was mar
ried 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 ali, they en-
barked in the strife, and almost in
credible 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 whittier, 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 few years af-
ter 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
was of age at that time, lived in the
same neighborhood and knew the
family of Brawler well. Mr.. Shaw
was born in March, 1859, and in the
spring of 1859, when the author
spent a night with him at the house
of Mr.. Godbold, was possessed of as
tonishing vigor of body and mind for
one of his years. Neither his sight
nor hearing was very seriously i'm
paired. 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 red oak was then
living which stood in Brawler's yard.
BraWler was poor, but ingenious. He
adopted the following method of
cathhing bears: Driving sharp nails,
pointing downward in bee-gum, he
baited it at the bottom, having Sc
cured it well. The bear, putting his
head down, would be caught beyond
the possibility of extraction. Will

year when the author saw him for

MOTHER NATURE.

Tenderly mother nature puts her
children to bed for the long winter,
tucklng them in carefully and patting
the bed clothes down smoothe and neat.
1t is IA long time before the awaken
ing, and her motherly love emphasizes
the need of care at bedtime.
So she gathers up the leaves of field
and yard and sweeps them into place
around the roots of shrubs and vines
and hedges The October and early
November winds help her in the task.
Observe the barberry hedge or clump
and see how nature has prepared il
for the long cold months. Leaves
which have served their purpose dur
ing spring and summer and have fall
len to earth are packed tightly about
the roots Yards have been swept and
the refuse put to practical use.
Needless husbandmen burn the
leaves in the fall. Nature puts them
to better use She uses them for win
ter bed clothes for her children who
need protection and in the spring she
begins the process of returning them
to the soil to repcniSh its richness
Natures plan is better than the hus-
handman's. - Cleayland Plain Dealer.

Teachers are receiving somewhat
better salaries this year than last
but they are still considered to be
too low. The salary of the county
school superintendent is referred as
being too small and suggestion
made that it should be increased
substantially if the best material
is to be kept in the office. A num-
Der of teachers in the county are
now receiving more salary than the

by no means oVerpaid.

No much consolidation has been
possible on account of the size of
the county school districts, but in
some districts more than one school
is maintained. One specially has
