Big Trades Pending—Monthly
Luncheon—Alterations $15,000.
A third sale in the $150,000 total
of the Smith & Ewing Real Estate
Agency was announced Friday con
cerning the conveyance of a three-
story and basement building at 12,
14 and 16 Trinity avenue to J. R.
Smith & Co. from the Georgia Realty
Trust Company for $60,000.
This lot is 64 1-2 by 105 feet, and
the front foot price was, accordingly,
$911. The building cost $36,000 and
was formerly occupied by the South
ern Book Concern, and is now under
lease to Sterchl Bros. & Barnes, a
furniture concern. It is known as the
Hillyer property. The location is on
the north side of Trinity avenue, be
tween Whitehall and Forsyth streets.
The deal was handled by Roe Price,
of the Trust company, and Dr. J. T.
Daves and John H. Maddox, of Smith
& Ewing.
Big Projects Brewing.
Pople who think the local real es
tate market is quiet will be interested
to learn that some of the biggest deals
In the city’s history are under way
and are expected to be announced
soon. These will come within a month
or 60 days, according to the real es
tate men who are Interested in them.
Big improvements go with some.
A dealer who trades a go«d part of
the time in private properties has a
trade on which will make past cash
transactions look small in comparison.
There are other arrangements which
are being kept exceedingly quiet.
Many Heating Plants.
The Moncrief Furnace Company has
applied to Building Inspector Ed R.
Hays for permits to install nine fur
naces at an aggregate of $1,445.
Demand for Healey Space.
Demand for office building space
seems never to cease in Atlanta. The
Third National Bank Building was
filled, it will be recalled, before the
sixth elevator had been installed, and
so with many other structures. The
Hurt Building is all practically under
lease and the Healey Building has had
applications from nearly 100 business
concerns.
The Healey applications are about
sufficient to fill the structure, al
though the leases have not yet been
signed. A. F. and Milton I.iebman art
the agents for the building.
Realty Board Dinner.
Members of the Atlanta Real Estate
Board gathered early Friday after
noon in the Georgia Pine Room of the
Hotel Ansley for their regular
monthly luncheon. Delegates to the
convention at Winnipeg were present
and told interesting stories of experi
ences in the Canadian Northwest.
The question of the convention for
1916 was discussed informally, and
the opinibn seemed to be that Atlanta
would win out.
It now develops that Memphis did
not carry a formal invitation to
Winnipeg, although the intention to
do this was expressed two weeks be
fore the meeting opened. Local deal
ers take this to mean that Atlanta
w ill have no opposition from the Ten
nessee city, although no chances are
being taken. President White, ex-
I’resident Glover, Fitzhugh Knox and
S. B. Turman are confident that At
lanta will win.
"Atlanta will get the convention if
she wants it," declared Mr. White.
Alterations to Cost $15,000.
Luther Z. Rosser and J. H. Porter
have filed an application with Build
ing Inspector Ed R. Hays for a permit
to make additions and alterations to
their building at 63 and 66 North
Pryor street, the same to cost $15,000.
Gude & Co. have the contract.
This structure was formerly occu
pied by the Dougherty-Little-Redwlne
Company, wholesale dry goods mer
chants, and was bought in February
for $184,550. There are six stories
and about 70,000 square feet of floor
space, practically all of which has been
leased by the Forest & George Adair
Real Estate Agency. The lot is on
the east side of the street, between
Auburn avenue and Edgewood ave-
nU The building will be converted into
offices, with elevators and other mod
ern conveniences. The dry Foods
merchants arc now at 90 and 9- South
Pryor street.

Aid of State Chamber.
Immigrants coming into Georgia
and settling on farms are expected to
find a great deal of help through the
n”wlv created State Chamber of Com
merce, which will supply them with
Accurate and detailed Information.
Heretofore the facilities for this serv
ice have been very limited, the State
Department of Agriculture and the
various local chambers of commerce
and real estate men attempting to
"Thousands“of thrifty immigrants
from the Middle West are seeking
Georgia farms for trucking and s ^ e
era] farm purposes, and the Sta
Chamber will attempt to locate them
profitably. This class of immigrants
fs educated and desirable. Many of
them have attended the State lnstttu-
ZZ of the Northwest and learned
scientific farming methods. The Im
possibility of getting land where lnd -
oiduals own so much acreage drives
tiiem southward, and the comparative
sparse settling: of South Georgia pre
sents unusually good opportunities.

PARENTS IGNORE USE OF RUNS
SENDS COTTON IIP
Girl Marries Man Father Dis
charged From His Employ Be
cause He Courted Her.
A romance which began more than
a year ago when Lear Galanter, of
I.iolisville, was employed by the fa
ther of Miss Hannah Wolfe, of Capitol
avenue, and which reached its climax
Friday, when the couple ran away
and were married, was given a Jolt a
few hours after the wedding when
the bride’s parents located them at
the Aragon Hotel.
After a conference with their
daughter and new son-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Wolfe left the hotel, de
claring their daughter had married
against their wishes, and that the
young people ‘‘could go where they
pleased.”
It is said by friends of the bride
that Galanter was discharged from
Mr. Wolfe's employ a year ago be
cause he persisted in paying atten
tions to Miss Wolfe. He went to
Louisville to work, *but the spark
kindled while he was in Atlanta de
veloped into the flame of love. A few
days ago he returned to claim his
b^ide.
After the wedding the couple told
some of their friends, it is said, who
told her parents of the wedding.
Giles Report and Unfavorable

Girl in Diggs Case
Withstands Grill
SAN F’RANCISCO, Aug. 15.—The
trial of former State Architect Maury
I. Diggs on a charge of violating the
white slave law was resumed to-day
with Lola Norris, one of the princi
pals In the flight to Reno, on the
stand.
The self-possessed, confident bear
ing that marked Miss Norris’ first
appearance on the witness stand yes
terday had not deserted her and she
answered the questions flung at her
by the defense in a frank, Arm man
ner.
Miss Norris testified that she was
a good girl until she arrived in Reno,
and the defense made unavailing ef
forts to discredit this statement.
NEW YORK, Aus:. 15.—Conditions re
flecting the cotton market at the open
ing to-day were a little more bullish
than yesterday and first prices were 5
to 10 points higher than the closing quo
tations of Thursday. The Giles report
was regarded as moderately bullish, but
weather conditions In the Southwest
proved another factor, which encouraged
an active buying, which was attributed
chiefly to local short covering Brokers,

The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat
says: “Limited forward demand on one
hand and trade belief the crop is rapid
ly deteriorating in the West on the
other, were the conflicting features in
yesterday’s cotton market, around
which were grouped several smaller is
sues of more or less moment. The
trade as a whole can see no logic in
bulling a market that is not accumu
lating forward demand, even though the
pause in buying be known to be caused
by something other than lack of gen
eral requirement. Manchester has been
such a busy buyer during the past two
months that indifference there, even for
a short while, looms large In trade
eyes. V
“Meanwhile, there is much contro
ls pending a little belcw the market,
which would begin to figure should gen
eral rains not come to the West in
the near future, should Washington,
some fine morning announce that the
'Clarke rider’ had been kicked ofT the
tariff bill. *
“Mean while, there Is much contro
versy over the weather in the West
and feeling among the talent runs
rather high. One school of thought
contends that drouth has done very
serious and irreparable damage in
Oklahoma and is causing severe dete
rioration in Texas every day. These
people contend that drouth is acute In
all save a few of the more favored sec
tions. Another school of thought as
serts that moderate but slightly bene
ficial rains have fallen over most of
the dry area, that the deficit In moisture
is not so great as It was last year, that
the damage done Is more imaginary
than real, and that general rains are
now on the way.”
The market steadied after the call on
the forecast, which pointed for dry
weather In the western belt. Riordan,
Lee. Cone and Cardoza w r ere the leading
buyers. Hicks, Shearson and Schley
wore the leading sellers.
Early advices by telegraph companies
-how extensive showers overnight In
oarts of east, central, north and west

HAYWARD A. ClARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 15. —Liverpool
continues the same. Futures firmer
than spots, which are quoted 1 point
lower to-day; sales of only 4,000 bales,
while futures are 2 to 3 better than due,
probably on reports of crop deteriora
tion from the Western States.
The map shows fair weather in Okla
homa; partly cloudy in the rest of the
belt, the only precipitation at Abilene
and Brownsville, whereas private re
ports show scattered showers overnight
over a large area in Texas. Good show
ers In Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee
and the Atlantic* Indications are for
unsettled and showery weather over
practically the entire belt
Our market opened about 6 higher and
advanced further to 11.12 for October.
Trade quiet, and in spite of attempts
toward a short scare (on reports of
drouth damage), the market showed a
lack of confidence.
The fact is that Texas has had show
ery weather for the past four days and
indications continue favorable to more
extensive rains over Oklahoma also.
The Central and Eastern States are
doing very we’l and interest In forward
shipments by the trade is disappointing
ly slow. There is. however, a short in
terest of minor strength In the market,
and. as sentiment has been so much
worked up by the dry spell in the West,
attempts at a reaction might become
more successful should rains fall to ap
pear over Sunday.
