CENTENARIA N.
StomP Interesting Data Concerning
'the Oldest Person Possibly
In the State.
If, willl*> 1 erne inhered that hust
riiK Timks mentioned that there lived
in Union county an old colored woman
nearly 110 y?ais of age. A paity who h
in position to Know furnishes us with
:he data regarding this eld colored
iveman who has leached the remarkable
ige ab >ve i amed.
lli says her age was ascertained in
.his manner: She remembered that her
not her told her that she was just seven
ears old when a Mrs. McKissick died
Hie tombstone of Mis. McKissick was
'xamrned and the date of death.there
ecorded was taken and Zdpha'3 seven
rears added. He gave a bit of her hisory
that will no doubt be read .with in- :
rerest by tne Times readers. It is as
'ollows:
Zilpha Cook belonged to Mrs. Polly
Jook at the time of the emancipation of
.he slaves. She was born and reared on <
the plantation of Mrs. Stribiing who
ived four miles northeast ol Union. ]
Mrs. Nancv Stribiing was a daughter of
Pattern Birdstrong, at that time Sheriff ,
>f Union county. Upon the site where
low stands the jail there stood at that
ime a prison built of brick. While a
i'oung girl she was given to her young
nistress, Nancy Stribiing, daughter of
Mrs. Nancy Stribiing. Miss Nancy marled
a Mr. Wix iu York county, S. C.
\t that time Zilpha Cook was 12 or 13
.ears of age. This was before the town
>f Union was built. Some time later
Ctlpha was-liired- out by her mistiess to
:ook for one Charley Garner who was
linniinr un inn nn lii?? rnaH^iilo lntoi
(elected for the town of Union. This
on was a regular stopping point for the
itage coaches of the day. There were a
ew houses in the neighborhood. Her
lextcmployer was Capt. Humphries, a
lortherner, who with a force of forty
lauds built the present jiil which was
milt of stone and cement, the cement
jeing dissolved with beef blood. The
negroes being naturally supersticious,
ref lsed to work after sundown fraring
lome evil would overtake them on acrtuntof
the blood used in the work.
At this time Zilpha was the mother
of two children. Her next employer
wsis Mr. John Cage, grandfather of our
fellow townsman, Jno. P. Gage.
She is now living with her grandson,
Ed Smith who is about 40 years of age.
She is still hale, strong and active considering
her age, aud helps considerably
ibout the house work and bids fair to be
with us several jears more. Iler next
or 110th birthday will bs next May, the
Jay of the mouth is not known. She
was the flrst mulatto baby born in the ;
;ounty of CJnion and she says that people
came from miles around to see her.
She.has a good mcmoiy and can recall 1
incidents and happenings 73 years ago, !
and remembers names of the people of <
neighborhood of that distant past.

Heeded the Warning.
One of our lady flienis an I a subscriber
read a short editorial in Tiik
riMBS a few weeks ago in which we
warned all who lud stock erposed to
prepare shelter for then] and get them
ip aud housed to be in readiness for the
itoim that was likely to come about the
L8th of February and gave Ilicks as our
ruthority. She wondered '"what they
(new about storms" but finally concluded
o "heed tlie advice," as she had a con- '
liderable number of cattle out. So she ,
iad good comfortable stalls fixed for the
;attle, new straw put in for beds and orlertd
them driven up aud housed at ^
light. The second night was the night (
>f the storm that did so much damage
throughout the upper section of the
state Feb. 17th. The occupants of this
food lady's house were almost sure their '
muse was going to bo wrecked and all
lathered in one room and waited with
Mted breath the expected collapse of j
.ho building. But a kind providence ,
willed otherwise and the home was saved
md so were the cattle that were safely ^
mused. After it was ovei the lady said:
'It certainly does look like they knew
lomethiug about the storm, and I am so 1
glad I had the good sense to hoed the
warning and have the cattle brought ^
uir." There were many homes in Union }
;hat night in which the members of the ,
lamlly gathered in what they considered <
:fie safest part of the house fearing their <
homes would be blown down.

'Twonld Spoil This Story to Tell

To use an eighteenth century phrase, L
this is an "o'er true tale." Having hap- f
(tened in a small Virginia town in the Jj
winter of liHl'2, it is a story very much Ij
of the present. Up to a short time ago h
Mrs. John K. Harmon, of Melfa Station,
Va., had no personal knowledge of the I
rare curative properties of Chamber- M,
Iain's Cough Remedy. "Last January," w
she says, " my baby took a dreadful iv
cold and at one time I feared she would u
have pneumonia, but one of my neigh- I
bors told me how this remedy had II
cured her little boy and I began giving 11
it to my baby at ence and it soon cured jj
her. I heartily thank the manufac- It
turers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ||
for placing so great a cure within my |

high! y or say too much in its favor. I jj
hope all who read this will try it and ft

Her little biother had been sick and :he |

good and kind sister contracted the fatal g
naiady which claimed her an its victim. I
Die corpse was sent to Fhelton on the ^

connected with this death "
is that she left a 10 months old baby to

could haidly suppress a tear of sj mpithy i
alien looking at the innocent little child '
playing while in the tender care of friends
ind realized that if it grew up it would
