LIFE SKETCH OF
ADAM BROYLES, A
GRAND LANDMARK
V
Passes Away After 87 Years
of Active Life,
A PROMINENT MAN IN SOCIAL,
COMMERCIAL AND RELI
GIOUS LIFE.
The Knoxvllle Journal and Tribune
ct Monday contains the following
ketch of Hon. Adam Broyles, a notice
of whose death was published In yes
terday's Citizen t ,
East Tennessee Is a land of those
very earnest characters, who, by the
seal of their life's work, have ever
been called picturesque. One by one
those grand old landmarks are being
removed, the Hon. Adam Broyles.be-,
inff the latest to join those who have
gone before him. It was only last
Monday that Mr. Broyles answered the
summons, and then came a rest after
87 years of active life. .Many of the
older citizens recall the grand old
Broyles homestead , at. Broylesville,
Tenn., where was accorded that genial
hospitality, that gentle influence for
better things that so marked the
southern home life before the war. His
station in life was one of prominence
socially, commercially and religiously.
Any public or private enterprise In
which good could evidently be accom
plished had as a foremost supporter
Adam Broyles. With such motives as
a stimulus it is little wonder that he
became the sturdy old oak that he did.
Broylesville was the stopping point;
for travelers bound north and south
before railroads and It was one of the
very great pleasures of the trip to
visit the stately mansion and experi
ence the genuine sincerity of the host
with the courtly manners and warm
welcome. It became a spot known
most favorably all over the southern
states. No man was ever turned from
his door without some Impetus to make
more of life, nor without a cordial
"Come again. Farewell."
As a public benefactor. It is well to
note that he was one of the promoters
and original charter members of the
East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia
railroad, now the Southern. The ori
gin of a railroad is always fraught
with financial reverses and this first
one in. East Tennessee was no excep
tion. It was during those trying
times that Adam Broyles showed his
faith in the future of the state by
pledging his entire estate, with two
other directors, to raise $250,000 to save
the road from disaster and to add to
the prospects of an early completion of
It.
As a merchant, Mr. Broyles was the
proprietor of the largest business, un
doubtedly of upper east Tennessee.The
horrors of civil war soon broke upon
the country, and being a warm sup
porter of the cause of the land of his
nativity, he placed all his vast fortune
at the disposal of those in authority
and when the cause was lost, he lost
with It, standing staunch to the very
end.
Mr. Broyles was born at Broylesville,
Washington county, Tenn., May 11
1813. He was married twice; his first
wife was Miss Horton of North Caro
una. bne died in 1880. A few years
ago, he married a sister of Rev. Dr.
R. N. Price, and moved to Virginia on
a grand blue grass farm near Glade
springs. An ideal place it was to rest
aner a long life of unselfish useful
.0. xie aiea mere May 15, 1900. His
remains were brought to Limestone,
ienn., and buried In the old church
yard near where he had worshipped so
Jong. His wife survives him, four chil
dren by his first marriage, Edwin A.
"royies or Knoxvllle; Mrs. Sallle Dll
worth of Dallas, Tex.; Courtney
-oy.es or California, and Mrs. Oseola
- Ul nnsioi, to whom a grate
ful people extend sympathy akin only
to a loss of stronger and moiie lasting
man rriendship alone.

GOVERNMENT REPORT
ON CROP AND WEATHER
FOR THE WEEK ENDING MON
DAY NIGHT.
Raleigh, N. C, May 23. The United
States crop and weather report for
the week ended last night was issued
today. It says the first half of the
week was characterized by continued
temperatures above 90 degrees and the
warm, dry weather, with maximum
dally mean averaging 10 degrees above
the normal; In fact '.he drought was
becoming quite serious; grains, mead
ows and gardens were considerably In
jured; the growth of staple crops was
checked, and the soil In many sections
rendered hard and unfit, to plough. A
moat desirable and satisfactory change
in the weather conditions took place
Thursday evening, when clouds col
lected and showers began which con
tinued until Sunday, accompanied by
a moderate change to lower tempera
lures. In portions of only four coun
ties, r.amely, Randolph, Davidson,
Gaston and Iredell, was the rainfall
f Jtoes'lve and Injurious to lan Is and
i wi n by washing;, elsewhere it came i
In gentle showers and averaged ab itit j

rains broke the drouth Just in time to
prevent serious damage to crops, re
vived vegetation wonderfully, and was
undoubtedly of inestimable benefit to
agricultural Interests. The soil was
softened and fitted for working;
meadows and clover were refreshed;
the moisture was extremely necessary
for wheat and oats, which are heading
and plump grains are now assured;
late planted corn and cotton have ger
minated and come up nicely, and all
small plants have started into vigor
ous growth. Crop prospects have
greatly Improved during the past few
days and farmers are much encour
aged. Tansplantlng tobacco advanced
more actively In north central and
western counties during the favorable
seasons latter part of the week. There
Is still some corn to be planted, chiefly
on lowlands In the western portion of
the state; the stand of corn is' some
what irregular, but most of the crop
has received its first cultivation and
the plants look well. Irish potatoes
are excellent, but the damage by bugs
is increasing. Large numbers of sweet
potato sprouts were set and are grow
ing vigorously. Wheat continues the
best of the small grains. Gardens and
truck crops are doing well. Grapes are
coming Into bloom.
