CHARLES S. RIGGAN
HENDERSON VISITOR
94-Year-Old Citizen of Vaughan Much
More Active Than Many
People Younger

A viitor to Henderson today was
Charles S. Riggan, 94-year-old citizen
of Vaughan, in Warren county, a
gentleman of many years on this
earth, but whose activity and interest
in things and people are more be-
coming to those forty years his junior
Mr.. Riggan is Confederate vetean'
one of the last survivors of the Civil
War. He has recently been written
about generously in State publications
and his remarkable pep and vim, de-
spite his years, have been a marvel
to his acquaintance. He was a guest
here today of w. r. Vaughan, Sea
board agent here, who is a native OF
the Vaughan community, and has
known Mr.. Riggan for the last half a
century and more.
Mr.. R;ggan attended the June ger
man at Rocky Mount last year, and
danced with the others most of the
night, and got back home after sun
rise next morning, seemingly none the
worse for his experience.
Mr.. Riggan was putting away at
his cigar when seen today and has
never lost his taste for good smoke,
nor his great interest in people and
n things going on ABOUT him. He is
known and loved by all those who en-
Joy his acquaintance.

MATERNITY CLINIC
LARGELY ATTENDED
Held at Jubilee Hospital for ColOred
Expectant Mothers; DIR. Beck
| ford in Charge

A maternity clinic for colored wo-
men has just been closed at Jubilee
hospital, and was attended by nearly
twenty expectant mothers, DR.. A. D.
Gregg, county health officer, said to-
day. The clinic was in charge of DR..
S. M. Beckford, colored physician of
the city.
The clinic was under auspices of the
Vance County Health Department,
and was one of the periodic clinics
being conducted in the county, in
which free examinations and advice
are given by those in charge.
DR.. Gregg said the same service had
been attempted for white women, but
very few had ever attended these. Eff
forts are being made to have the
clinics for white women monthly, the
same as for the colored, but with
nothing like so large an attendance.
When held, they are conducted at
Maria Parham hospital, with some
local physician in charge. No fee is
asked for any examination or advice
given at the clinics, but where special
attention is necessary by a physician
the women are so informed and given
the opportunity to obtain that atten-
ton.
