MAKE A RECORD j
FOR LONGEVITY
Relatives of Mr*. Cam VS.]
Melick Pass the Century
Mark With Untlimmed Eyes
and Excellent Health.
A remarkable record of the lon
gevity of a family has been estab
lished by relatives of Mrs. Cam W.
Melick of this city.
Mrs. Melick received recently a
letter from her father. J. (J. Bra
graw of Washington, N. C., who is
In his 86th year, enclosing a letter
from his brother. W. K. Bragaw, of
Florida, who is 93 years old. In
this letter the writer asked If his
brother, John, had had any news
recently from their brother, E. T.
Bragaw of New London. Connecticut,
who is 88. nr from thFir sister Sar
ah of Syracuse, New Tork, who is
In her 90th year. He wrote that he
heard goodt-news from sister Janet
of Jamica. Xong Island, who was
then approaching her 100th birthday
| on February 5. and that Cousin Tom
I West was very well and looking for
j ward to celebrating his 102nd birth
r day in April, in New York City.
| The New York World in Wednes
day's issue carried an interesting ac
count of the birthday of Mrs. Rich
(ard Bragaw when she passed the
century mark on February 5, at her
i home In Jamica. Long Island. The
article stated that Mrs. Bragaw wore
| a silk dress that she had made a few
! years ago. She Is in excellent health
jand her eyesight Is so good that she
does not wear glasses.
One hundred years ago, when La

j hands with the noted Frenchman.
With eyes that, have seen the rav
ages of three wars, the coming of
[electricity, steam boats, wireless and
.all the inventions of modern science,
this gentleman of old school
looks forward with undlmmed vision
to his 102nd birthday in April.

forts are under way in lJeaufort
County to start development of an
oil field here. Theodore Hamer,

gations for oil and minerals in Reau
fort County. Several thousand dol
lars has been expended by thes"
jmen. They have had geologists an l J
I practical oil men h<*re from different
parts of the country. The general I
! opinion of these geologists and oil
| m#*n is that there is a possibility of
oil here. j
A proposition has been made to]
Mr. Hamer and his associates that if ;
they will secure leases on land ag
gregating 100,000 acres, a reliable,
oil drilling company will come hero
ami at its own expense, drill tile n?c
i essary wells to determine whether j
oil exists here or not. Mr. Hamer
is now making efforts to secure these,
leases. H<? says that the holdings of
J. & W. Land Company, amounting |
to.. over 40,000 acn s have been j
leased by authority of the board of.
I
directors.
Mr. Hamor asks that the land own
ers of Beaufort County join his com
pany. in KivinK these leases, which
run for IS months without compen
sation. after which they provide for
an annual rental of Ave cents per
acre payable in advance; they also
provide for a one-eighth royalty of
oil produced, as well as specified
amounts per ton for coal and differ
ent minerals, . The entire life of the
leases is five years unless production
of oil or minerals takes place in the
meantime. If the company fails to
j pay the rental provided for the I eft so
expires on July 1. Ill 2 5.
