Capt. George P. Walker.

Capt. George P. Walker, who has just
been retired from the Chatham Ar
tillery, had served longer with one COM
pany than any other member of the
National Guard in the country, it is
believed. He-and Lieut. Harry S.
Dreese, of the same command, are be-
lieved to have been at the time of their
designations the two oldest active mem
bers in point of service in the United
States, Capt. Walker joined the
company a few months before Lieut.
Dreese. Both had been in other COM
panies before enlisting with the Chat
hams.
Captain Walker enlisted Nov.
10, 1868, while Lieut. Dreese
enlisted, Aug Is, 1864. From the day
of his enlistment, through the remand
er of the war. and up to the time of
his recent resignation. Capt. Walker
had been an active member of the bat
terry.
Both Capt. Walker and Lieut.. Dreese.
though young, made splendid
war records and their interest in mill
tary affairs from that time until now
has never Jagged. Capt. Walker was
Yates. They very much re-
GREETED to see them resign. After forty
three years of active service, however,
he felt that he was entitled to be re-
tired.
In 1861, at the beginning of the Civil
War, Capt. Walker joined the Blues.
He served with them until '6S, when
he enlisted in the Chathams. He has
successfully held the positions of third
lieutenant, second lieutenant, first lieu
tenant and captain.

Lieut. Harry S. Dreese of the Chat
ham Artillery has been retired by or
der of the Governor, his resignation
having just been accepted
For forty years Lieut.. Dreese had
served continuously as an active men,
Der of this command.
Both he and Capt. Walker held their
membership in the same company with
which they served during the war I'M
til their recent retirement. It, of
course, can not be positively stated
that at the time of their retirement
they were the oldest active members
in point of service in the National
Guard, but such is believed to be the
men here know of any such record
elsewhere.
Lieut.. Dreese was one of the organ
izers of the Savannah Cadets on May
II, 1861. He went into the state serv-
ice with the Cadets during July or
August of the same year and served
about two and a half years. He enlist
ed in the Chatham Artillery Aug Is,
1864, and from that time until the date
of his resignation, Oct. 8, 1904, he was
an active member.
He held all the ranks from fourth
corporal to first lieutenant, the Office
he held when he retired. He was first
sergeant for six years. Lieut.. Dreese
is proud of his long service with the
command. Sincere regret by the men,
bers is expressed at his retirement.

NAVAL STORES EXHIBIT
WANTED IN ATLANTA,
Was Sent by Savannah Board of
Trade to st. Louis Exposition.

Was Sent by Savannah Board of
Trade to st. Louis Exposition.
The very attractive and creditable
naval stores display that was sent TO
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition by
the Savannah Board of Trade, not on
ly attracted such favorable notice there
as to receive the award of the grand
, prize, but is now eagerly sought after
in many quarters to be used either as
a permanent memorial of one of the
great Industries of Georgia, or as an
attraction at other expositions.
In a letter to Mr.. John R. Young.
Mr.. Glascock Barrett, executive COM
missioner from Georgia to the st. Louis
Exposition, after notifying Mr.. Young
of the award of the prize for the ex-
hibit, asks Mr.. Young to arrange mat
tiers so that the exhibit can be taken
to Atlanta and placed in the museum
of the State Capitol.
Mr.. Young has made no decision in
this matter as he wishes to bring it
first before those of the Board of
Trade who were interested in prepar-
ing the exhibit. Personally, Mr.. Young
is in favor of allowing the exhibit to
be placed in the State Capitol
In case this is done it is probable
that the services of either Mr.. G. w.
Saussy, superintendent of the Board of
Trade of Savannah, or Mr.. r. P. Reg
lister, state inspector of naval stores,
will be secured to replace the rosin
samples and thus restore the exhibit
to the condition that made 1t so at
tractive at the exposition.

WAS NOT RECEIVED.

Pending It's Receipt the Governor
Would Not Discuss 1t.
Atlanta. Oct. 29.-Up to tonight Gov
Terrell had not received the much
talked-of letter from Capt Robert NJ
Hitch, though the fact that such a let
ter had been written was all the talk
at the Capitol this morning. Pending
receipt of the letter, which it is said
criticises the Governor for approving
the verdict and sentence of the court
martial without having read the evil
dence, Gov. Terrell will, of course, say
nothing about it.
The Governor was much improved in
health to-day and spent some time at
the Capitol. He says he does not an
ticipate anything to interfere with his
visit to Savannah on Monday. He will
leave Atlanta tomorrow night.
