DISCOVERED 0LD'FOUNDATION
Believed to be That of Revolutionary
Army's Storehouse.

Army'S Storenouse.
In excavating for an addition to the
First National bank building on Park
place workmen have uncovered what
are believed to be the foundation
walls of the old store house used by
the Revolutionary army. On the cor
ner of South street opposite the pres
ent bank building Quartermaster-
General Greene occupied small
building as his office.
This storehouse or Continental
House." as it was called, was erected
on what was then land of the First
Freeman, deputy quartermaster-gen
eral of New Jersey. For a few years
after its erection the building was
used as a storehouse for army sup
plies. To this building Col. Benoni
Hathaway brought much of the pow
der manufactured at Ford's powder
mill on the Whippany river. Several
cannon captured from British
sloop that grounded in Elizabethtown
creek were brought to the building
by the American troops that captured
them.
During Washington's second so
journ in Morristown during the wintel
of 1779-S0 the upper part of the Con,
tinental house was used for several
assembly balls. In later years it was
used as a tavern, known asO'Hara's s
1t was burned in 1876 when the New
Jersey hotel, which it adjoined, was
destroyed by fire.
Tradition has it that many barrels
filled with sand and labeled pow
der" were brought to the storehouse
during the winter of 1777. This was
done, tbs said, because of the activ
tiles of British spies in this section
they reporting to General Howe the
immense amount of powder the army
of Washington had in reserve.

in this section win be cut down by cold
this season. This Is especially true Of
plums, peaches and pears. The peach
trees are pink with blossom and the
plum trees are white.
Not only is fear entertained for the
fruit crop, but much uneasiness Is felt
for the country meat Many farmers
are now sending to Savannah for ice to
keep their meat on
Some farmers have already lost much
Of tn cir pork, and unless it turns cold
Bulloch county will suffer a great loss
IN this product. Many OF the farmers
have not killed their larger hogs,
waiting until after Christmas when they
thought they would have better weather.
Since then they have not dared to make
the venture. and 1t is feared that the
remaining cold spells will not be suffi-
GENTLY long for them to kill their choice
meat.
Another thing worrying them is the
fact that feed is running low. and the
pork will become poor before they can
kill. if they can kill them at all.

REGISTRATION LAND LAW
IS FAVORED BY BARRETT
President of Farmers Union
Says Such Legislation Will
Aid Members

UNION CITY, Ca, Feb. President
Charles 8. Barrett, OF the Farmers
National union is heartily in accord with
the plans for legislation in Georgia for a
land title and registration law, along
lines OF. the Torrsnss statutes
Speaking OF the proposed legislation,
President Barrett said:
II have made a study Of the operation
OF the law in several states" he con-
tinued, land my observation has unis
formIy been of favorable nature.
THE state Of North Carolina employs
the system, and would not exchange
1t for any other. At the recent Farm
ers union national convention, held at
Charlotte, there was much discussion of
the Torrens idea, and members generally
expressed themselves in unqualified ap-
prevail Of it.
Sentiment for the law is growing in
Virginia and South Carolina, while in
south Georgia 1t is especially strong.
There is no valid reason why the
state should not, as under the Torrens
plan, guarantee titles to land. 1t is
called upon, often enough, TO thresh out
differences, Of opinion regarding titles
in its superior courts, to mako IL to the
states interest to minimize litigation.
That is, in fact, one of the most ap-
pealing features of the Torrens system.
1t minimizes both litigation, which is
expensive to the state and to the indi-
vidual., and IL saves antagonisms. And
oneIof the most fruitful sources of quar-
rel IN the country districts Is found in
disagreements over land titles"
President Bafrett has gone TO Rich
mond and Warrington.
IN the first <iky-he will attend an i'm
portant stats meeting of the Virginia
organization.
In the national capital he VIII press up
on congress the matter of a national
parcels post.
We are sure to get it." he said, "as
soon as congress finds out the whole couri-
try really wants this right, now given
the majority Of European nations"
