C. fcr • ' NEGRO DIES AT AGE OF 117 YEARS Caroline Green, Ante-Bellum Slave, Dies at Ripe Age in Rutherfordton Rutherfordton, Sept. 10. —Caro- line Green, colored, age 117 years, . died here Saturday afternoon, Sep ; tember 1, after a brief illness and was buried at New Hope cemetery for colored Sunday afternoon, Sep tember 2. She was the oldest person in Rutherford county and has been for many years. She was a most re markable character. She took sick on Monday night and gradually grew worse until the end. Prior to that time she was up and going about on sticks, or small crutches. There are several proofs of her age. She had a son, Anderson Green, who died in 1915 at the age of 83 years, of old age. His mother was 21 years old when he was born. Had he lived until now he would have been 96 years old. Anderson was 13 years old when the big flood of Aug- | ust 1845 came. Caroline Green was born in Ruth erford county, near Rutherfordton, April 1811. She has made her home here in New Hope with her niece, Sallie Liles'for the past 17 years. Her husband, Jack Eaves, was sold as a slave before the War Between the States to a large cotton planter of Mississippi for $llOO and was never seen again in this part of the country. During the days of slavery, Caro line was a slave and was freed by the Greens, hence taking their names. Caroline often talked of the days of slavery. About two weeks before her illness she talked with the writer of the days of slavery and well remembered seeing negroes auctioned off at public sales. She says that often a man and his wife were sold and went in different parts of the country, never to see each other again, or children sold from their parents, or sons from their mothers. Caroline's mistress was Miss Bettie Young, who later married Ab raham Green. Caroline was given to her mistress after her marriage and remained with her until she was freed. Abraham Green freed Caro line at the close of the War Between the States.

WEEVILS FOUND IN RUTHERFORD COUNTY A number of boll weevils have been reported found in several sec tions of the county, but due to the late arrival of the weevil it is not thought that any great damage will be done. The damage will largely depend on the kind of weather prevalent until harvesting time. In the opinion of the county agent the weevils will not do any great damage unless the cool, rainy weather continues. In the event the bad cotton weather should hold! out and the weevils increase in large numbers they could do a great deal of damage. Cotton in this section needs a dry September more than any other fav orable month. The cotton has not been fruiting satisfactorily, and it is not near so good as it seemed early in the season.
