RRIS FASS DEI ^ REACHES RIPE OLD AGE. Late Charles Haaelden, & .-ail and Delicate in Childhood, Dies at Age of 88 Years. Charles Haselden, the oldest man in all this section, died at his home near here Tuesday, July 16th. He was born November 23rd, 1829, being 88 years, 7 months, and 1a days old at the time of his death. Considering the fact that he was frail and delicate from childhood, his long life was remarkable. It is a tradition of the family ond the communi4 1 -? " * " yj wufii h cnna, ne was so Trail and delicate that his parents had no hope of ever rearing him, and when he was a school boy at Old Pine Hill the boys and girls of that time thought he would never reach manhood, yet although the oldest of a large family, he survived the youngj est of the family by 19 years, and of the 75 boys and girls who attend[ ed Pine Hill school with him in the 40's only two survive?Mrs. Mary Watson LeGotjte of Latta, now in her 91st year and the venerable John C. Bass of Latta, who is 84 years of age. The secret of Mr. Haselden's life was that all his life knowing his weakness and frailty, he scrupulously conformed to the laws of health. Remarkably neat in person, he was abstenious and temperate in eating and drinking. Knowing his limitations, he avoided everything that would impair his health and only partook of those things that agreed with bis frail constitution. He lived and died on the plantation on which he was born, rarely leaving his I home and mixing with his fellownion and could always be found at home seven days in every week. ThougT such a homebody, he loved for his friends and neighbors to visit him and always dispensed a wholesoulet! and generous hospitality, and was kind and considerate to all?rich anc poor, white and black. Early in lif< he united with the Methodist churcl and held his membership first at Olc Union, then at Ebenozer and then a Union, and in his last years, at th< Methodist church% here. Though no [active in church work, he always pais I cheerfully and promptly all demand! the church made on him. The funeral services were conduct ed on Wednesday afternoon by hi: pastor, Rev, J. R. Sojourner, at th< Haselden cemetery near his home where generations of Godbolds, El lerbes, Haseldens and many other lie buried. Mr. Haselden reared a large fami ly of 9 children all of whom reaches man's and woman's estate. His wife Mrs. Julia Ellerbe Haselden, and hi: daughter, Mrs. E. M. Fore, and son I Thos. E. Haselden, preceded him t< [the grave.

Jnder these strict regulations reding the use ol gasoline, one of perpetual mysteries is how the n Feiners ore able to get apparly as much as they like without ve or license from the petrol comisioners.
