A special from Brandon under the date of August 22 says:
Sylvester McLaurin died at his home in this little city tonight about nine o'clock, aged about 49 years.
Mr. McLaurin had been confined to his home some time with what the attending physicians termed rheumatism of the heart, and it was known for the past few days that the end was near.
R.S. McLaurin, as is known, was the brother of United States Senator McLaurin, and for many years had occupied a prominent position and taken an active part in the affairs of this section of the State. He had been district attorney for nearly twenty years, but in the primary of August 1st was defeated for renomination.
Mr. McLaurin leaves a wife, but no children, six brothers and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death.
