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-

14 and 16 Trinity avenue to J. R.
I Smith & Co. from the Georeia Realty
Trust Company for $00,000.
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 Sterchi 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'll. 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 w'll 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 good 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 All the structure, al
though the leases have not yet been
signed. A. F. and Milton Liebman 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 th e convention for
1916 was discussed informally, and
the opinion 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. Bocal deal
ers take this to mean that Atlanta
will have no opposition from the Ten
nessee city, although no chances are
being taken. President White, ex-
.1 ‘resident Glover, Fitzhugh Knox and
;. 13. 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 65 North
Pryor street, the same to cost $15,000.
Gud e & Co. have the contract.
This structure was formerly occu
pied by the Dougherty-Little-Redwine
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
nue.
The building will be converted Into
offices, with elevators and other mod
ern conveniences. The dry goods
merchants are now at 90 and 92 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
newly created State Chamber of Com
merce. wh ch 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
supply the want.
Thousands of thrifty immigrants
from the Middle West are seeking
Georgia farms for trucking and gen
eral farm purpose*, and the State
Chamber will attempt to locate them
profitably. This class of immigrants
is educated and desirable. Many of
them have attended the State institu
tions of the Northwest and learned
scientific farming methods. The im
possibility of getting land where indi
viduals own so much acreage drives
them southward, and the comparative

A romance which began more than
a year ago when Lear Galanter, of
Lolisville, 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
(laughter 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.” I
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
bride.
After the wedding the couple told
some of their friends, it is said, who
told her parents of the wedding.

SAN FRANCISCO, 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

answered th<? questions flung at her
by the defense in a frank, Arm man

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, Aug. 15.—Conditions re
flecting the cotton market at the open
ing to-day were a little more bullish
than yesterday 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 Routhwest
proved another factor, which encouraged
an active buying, which was attributed
chiefly to local short covering. Brokers,
representing spot Interests, also bought.
While there was no rains t wwn on
the map for Texas and ( >k'ahoma, si ill
reports from Dallas state that there
were scattered showers in several local
ities. and New Orleans wires that Indi
cations point for further rains over Sun
day. However, the market failed to
bulge from the initial high point, ex
cept the , most remote p< sitions were
lowered about 2 points, but soon re
trleved the decline.
During the forenoon offerings became
etlff and considerably scattered, result
ing In the entire list rallying 5 to 7
points from the beginning range except
August, which held steady at 12 points
advance over the previous c’ose.
Thera was a decided change In sen-
timer t late yesterday and there was
cor.slderab’e late buying which was re
flected Liverpool markets this morn
ing. While Kofler, of New Orleans, Is
predicting rain over Surday for the
West, the Government forecast says
ho* and dry.
Miss Giles gives county returns from
the cotton belt as of August 10, mak

"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.”

more: “Has anybody seen Castro—
General Cipriano?” ,
If anybody has yet located that

Secretary Bryan, because he is look

He doesn’t want Castor, but he is
anxious to .know where the General

If Castro isn’t found pretty soon,
he will be not only the flea of South
