THE NEW ARMY BILL.

Washington, March 24.-The army re-
organization bill has been adopted by
the house committee on military affairs
and reported to the house.
In passing upon the measure the COM
mittee has disposed of a significant
point as to the presidents functions in
war time There was long discussion
over a proposition to insert in the bill
an express provision which would per-
NIT the president to increase the army
forces Immediately in case of a sudden
grave emergency. 1t was pointed out
that no president ever would take ad-
vantage of such a provision and that
President Lincoln had set the example
and his action has been justified sub
sequently. 1t was felt by some that
where the necessity for hasty action
was great subsequent approval of con-
gress would be sufficient and the presi-
dent should be given some warrant for
such a step with a requirement to Sc
cure the approval of congress at the
earliest moment practicable. The dis
cuSsion was not on party lines. but the
Republican mem berS OF the committee
dlnered among themselves as to the
wisdom of charging the presidents
functions in this respect or to have
them remain in status quo.
It was, however, concluded to be best

And in parting with the majestic

NOSES ARGENTIFERoUS FIRE
WOOD.

The section between Triton and Way
cross is determined to develop it's own
resources during these war times. Only
last week man near Waresboro found
$3.50 in a hollow stump, and now Villa
coochee, Coffee county's prosperous city,
comes forward with an instance unex-
the silver discoveries of the age.
Nose Sheppard, a negro merchant of
that place. a night or so ago was sit
ting near his hearth, in which was a
blazing log, when he was surprised to
see a stream of what appeared to be
molten metal running from a crevice
in the burning log, which was about
three feet long. The metal was allowed
to remain on the hearth until it cooled,
which it quickly did, when it, together
with what could be got from the char
red log, was carried to a jeweller, who
pronounced it coin silver enough to
| make about $25 in silver coin. The log
was taken from the right-of-war of the
Brunswick and Western Railroad, on
the western boundary Of the town, and
had been cut for several years. 1t was
full of knot holes, with shell around
the heart. 1t was from this shell the
molten silver ran.
About six years ago store in Villa
| coochee was burglarized and $s5 in sill
yer taken therefrom. A gun carried
by one of the burglars was found near
this log, and it is thought he might
have hidden his share of the silver in
the log and has been unable to go back
after it. A citizen of the town, a few
months ago, while intoxicated, lost a
considerable amount in silver, which he
has never found. 1t is thought, per-
haps, he, while in a drunken state,
might have hidden the money in the log
and forgotten it.-From the Atlantic

MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Held at the Church of the Messiah Last
Night.

Held at the Church of the Messiah Last
Night.
Quite large delegation of members
of the General A. H. Terry command
of the Union Veterans union and of
the Mrs. General Terry command, U.
v. r, u, attended memorial service
in the Church of the Messiah, on Or
ange street, last night. The pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Dickerman, conducted the
service.
The pulpit and choir loft to the rear
of the pulpit We're almost hidden with
both large and small American flags
which hung in graceful folds. Tie SER
vice was wholly Of patriotic nature.
The Rev. Mr. Dickerman preached a
which undoubtedly stirred up all the
latent patriotism in the hearts of his
hearers, who comfortably filled the
church auditorium.
He said that in former times man
was considered almost nothing and
that parents always reared their chill
dren with the intention Of turning
them over to the state. Now man is
the all powerful factor in the govern
ment, our free institutions are for his
benefit and for the individual The
civil war was a struggle for the indi-
vidual and for the most lowly COM
ponent of civilization. The time is fast
approaching when war will be consid-
cred barbarous and disputes between
nation will be settled by weight of ar
gument rather than weight of SHE'LL
not at the point of the bayonet but
at the point of the finer Of admonition.
There is no doubt now that all Ameri-
cans want peace. The American citi-
zen is not a soldier by cultivation but
by nature and his patriotism rises at
the call for arms We are not called
for marshal purposes, not for war, but
for peace to devote the sinews of war
into bands Of eternity.
All are now to unite in the new
struggle for freedom for the cause of
universal freedom.
The Stars and Stripes will be the
symbol of the new and united people
and their power will be greater than
ever before.
In closing, the speaker paid a glow
ing tribute to the men who sacrificed
themselves for the cause of freedom
and those who still survived.

CURIOSITY OF LONGEVITY.

If Mafrens, the historian of the In
dies, can be believed, one Niemas de
Cugna, a native of Bengal, lived to the
astonishing age of three hundred and
seventy years. Although this story is
confirmed by Lopez Castegueds, who
at the time of Cugnas death, in 1856,
was historiographer royal of Portugal,
and although it is altogether the best
proved instance of so great longevity,
it's correctness has been somewhat
doubted. But whether or not Cugna
or his friends mistook the time of his
denying him the distinction of having
reached the greatest age of which we
have anything like reliable data. He is
described as a man of great simplicity
of habit and of very easy and quiet
manners; though wholly illiterate, he
was possessed of a memory so remark
able that he could recite the minutest
details relating to most of even the
daily events of two and a half centur-
les. He is said to have had many
wives during his long life, and it is re-
lated that the color of his hair and
beard changed several times from
black to gray and from gray to black
The next greatest instance of longev-
ity known to us is that of Peter Zoe
tron. French peasant, whose death is
recorded on January 5, 1924, at the re-
markable age of one hundred and
eighty-three years. Immediately sue
