been to war. Only two years old
when the War Between the States
broke out and was a "trifle too
young" for that one. By 1898 when
the Spanish-American War broke
out he smiled and cracked that he
was "too old or too ugly can't re
member which." '.
He clerked in a general store
inrina World War I and of course,
during the most recent unpleasant- ,
ness had to be content with sitting
back and contributing a small army
of descendents.
Mr, Register lives about a mile
sunt of here with a daughter, Mrs.
Mattie B. Knowles. Despite his be
ing almost 90 years of age the dis
tinguished appearing six-footer still
has normal hearing and can see
pretty well out of his one good eye.
He has been blind in the other eye
sidce boyhood when he got a piece
of pine bark lodged In it. He re
members very well the day when he
found out the sight was gone from
that eye. He was out squirrel hunt
ing and couldn't see down the gun
barrell to aim.
The well known local man was
born hi Sampson County near In
gold. His family moved to Duplin
permanently in 1901 and settled
here on the homesteaa now owneu
by Mrs. Knowles, one of his ten
children, with whom he lives.
Perhaps another distinction the
nonogenarian might be credited
with his large number of direct
descendents. His lineal descendents
number 171. This number includes
10 children, four grandchildren and
87 great- grandchildren. His oldest
child, James, Is 66, and the young
est, Preston, 43.
Mr. Register is still very active.
He says he feels kind of persecuted
because he isn't allowed to do much
fM k around the house.
Tie still manafies to get out and
Sweep the porch, feed the pigs,
and occasionally Dring up waiei.
Out shelling corn whe. the inter
viewer drove ui he insisted on con
tinuing with his wrn, a tasK per
formed with remarkable dexerity.
The spry old gentlemen says ne
has done a little bit of everything
in his days "except preaching and
pleading law."
, In his earlier days he used to
raft timber on the Cape Fear. He
claims he has mad?' 51 trips down
the rive and "never fell overboard
once,1 either."
Later he drifted through success
ive stages of being a lumberjack,
fisherman, and general store clerk.
His main occupation has been farm
ing, though:
His pet hobby always has been
fishing and like all fishermen he
has his choice "fish story." His is
about a trout (bass) he once caught
in Long Creek that weighed "five
pounds 13 ounces." -
Mr. Register, who. uses a vari
ation of the old Indian system of
keeping time by association of hap
penings with events, recalls very
well the day when his sister was
born. He climbed an apple tree
that was partly blown down and a
hornet stung him. Must nave maae
quite an impression because he in
sists that was the 2nd of July, 1868.
: Loving to be 90 and still In good
health doesn't surprise Mr. Regis
ter at all. As a matter of fact, he
rather expected it and when one

His father lived to be 77 and
spent the last forty years of his
life paralyzed from an injury in
curred in the War Between the
States. His mother lived to a ripe
old 88. His sister in Baltimore- is
now pushing 83 and still going
strong.
He attributes his living so long
to the commandment which says
"honor thy father and thy mother
that thy days may be long in the
land which the Lord thy God, hath
given thee."
Mr. Register was only two yeirs
old when . the War Between the
States broke out and remembers
very little about it .He does recall
the day when his paralyzed father
was brought home on a Utter short
ly before the war ended. He remain
ed an invalid until death in 1906.
He also recollects the day when
the Yankees came through. They
stopped at his house but an old
Negro, Charles Blackburn, insisted,
"Ain't nobody but an old sick man
in there," and directed them on by.

Yes, You May
Get Social Security
Each week the Social Security
Administration receives telephone
calls and letters asking who may
be entitled to benefits under the
Old-Age and Survivors Insurance
Provisions of the Social Security
Act. A letter recently read: "My
husband retired from his regular
job because he was 65, and since
that time has been getting a small
pension from his employer. We are
finding it hard to live on this pen
sion and I wonder if we could
drav his Social Security benefits
now." The reply was that his pen
sion would have nothing to do with
any benefits payable under the
Old-age insurance program. In the
case cited, the man and his wife
lost money because they delayed in
notifying their field office. The
Social Security Act provides for
only 3 months back payments from
the month the claim is filed.
As the letter was from a wife,
let's see what s wife must do to get
her benefits started .First, her hus
band must be at least 65 and re
ceived benefits himself. The wife
must also be 65 and must file an
application for her benefits just as
her husband. No one can do this for

her and her payments cannot be
gin until an application has been
tiled. She must furn-sh proof of
her age, but no: necessarily a birth
re t.ficate. Th?n are several types
of ncceptabli pro fs such as an eld
rv.crd in a Family Bible, insurance
policies and others. Many times
persons have acceptable proof of
age and do not know it. They will
be assisted in getting proof, if nec
essary. A wife's benefit is one-half the
amount of her husband's benefit.
For example, if her husband la re
ceiving $32 a month she will re
ceive one-half of that amount or $16
and the two will receive a total of
$48 each month. The wife will con
tinue to receive her check as long
as her husband receives his.
