S1O5,oO0 OF GALATIANS
DIRT PASSED HANDS.
Realty Transfers for Month of June
Were Somewhat Larger Than Usual.

Realty Transfers for Month of June
Were Somewhat Larger Than Usual.
During the month just passed there
was more than $105,OO0 worth of Chat
ham county dirt which changed hands.
This amount represents the pecuni-
airy considerations which figured in
the sales, but it is a poor index to the
amount of property which did pass
hands in the county during the month
of June; for, in addition to this, there
was a vast amount of realty trans
ferred for considerations of love and
affection while many other deeds which
were executed have never been brought
to the recording clerk for record.
Then, too, there were many who
gained possession of realty by writs
of possession, quit claim deeds, parti-
ton and by inheritance. The amount
of money, however, which figured in
the deals, according to the record of
deeds, was sos. 649.07. This amount is
unusually large for June, the month
not being one of great activity in the
real estate market.
There were very few transfers of
large holdings. there being but one
sale where the purchase price was
over $500 Most of the property was
country property, and a great deal of
it represented investments in summer
homes.
The offerings for the July sales are
numerous, and if half of the property
offered is sold the month will be some
what ahead of June for the first week.

To REVIEW TROOPS
CAVALRY WILL PASS BEFORE THE
GOVERNOR AND HIS STAFF.
INVITATION TO BE EXTENDED
COAST ARTILLERY AND IL LOCAL
COMMANDS TO PARTICIPATE.

Review to Be Held in Park Extern
sion Friday, July "a, While Troops
Are in Camp REORGANIZATION
Will BE Sent TO-day-FOur Hun
dred Mounted Men and Twice as
Many InfantryInen in Line-Tilting
Matches and Horse Races VIII Be
Part of Exercises of the Camp.
Gov. Terrell and his colonies will
probably be in Savannah on Friday,
July "a, to review the First Regiment
of Cavalry. An invitation in behalf of
the regiment has been extended
through Capt. A. Gordon Cassels. act
ing for Col Peter w. Meldrinl, who
is out of the city.
The exercises contemplated for this
day are more extensive than those for
any other day of the encampment, and
will compare most favorably with
those for any one day with any of the
other Georgia regiments which will
camp this year In addition to the pres
ence of the twelve troops of the First
Cavalry, the thirteen other local COM
mands and the four companies of coast
artillery from Fort Screven will be
asked to participate in a grand review
in the Park Extension.
To Issue Invitations.
Capt. Cassels will send invitations to
these commands, and it is likely that
they will accept the invitation. Sew
eral bands will be engaged for the
occasion, and the officers believe that
with the MILITARY Sfr hot h.
represented the occasion will be one to
be remembered. Besides nearly 400
horse from the First Regiment, the
Governors staff, probably fifty strong
and all mounted and arrayed in their
snowy uniforms, will augment the
mounted strength of the review; and
cavalry, infantry. light and heavy
artillery and the naval militia will add
to the attractiveness of the exhibition.
The Governors Presence.
OF course all depends upon the ac-
ton of the Governor Since he has
been to Griffin, and has signified his
intention of going to Augusta when
the First and Third Regiments camps
at that place, the officers are certain
that unless important engagements
prevent he will accept the invitation
of the First Regiment of Cavalry. A
reply from the other commands will
probably be contingent on the Gov
ernors decision, and as. soon as it is
known invitations will be extended to
them.
The officers are also engaged in pre-
pairing exercises for the troopers which
will doubtless prove beneficial and
amusing to them as we'll as the spec
tators. Among other things there will
be fitting matches and horse races.
The race track affords an excellent
place for such sport, and the grand
stand gives an excellent view of it all.
The officers will endeavor to procure
prizes for the contests from the local
merchants. If this can be done no adj
mission will be charged to these con-
tests. Otherwise an admission fee will
be exacted and the troopers will con-
test for purses.

FOURTH OF July
AT BETHESDA.
MIR. Larner viii Hand Over the
baseball Outfits to the Orphans.

MIR. Larner Will Hand Over the
Baseball Outfits to the Orphans.
The boys at Bethesda will have a
happy day tomorrow. for the base
ball outfit fund, started by Mr.. R. NJ.
Larner of Washington has already
reached the amount of $3.50 and sub
scriptions. are still coming in. The
uniforms, bats, balls and other para
phernalia for the proper pulling off
of a fine game of ball on the Glorious
Fourth were bargained for at the fig
ure of $50, but there can be a little
MOTE mbney well expended in the
matter, and Mr.. Larner will see to 1t
that there is not a nickel wasted.
The presentation of the baseball
stuff is to be made tomorrow morn
ing at Bethesda, and already the boys
are agog over the prospect. The
Fourth has long been a holiday at
this~excellent, institution and to-mor-
row promises to be unusually happy
for the youngsters. 1t will be quite
right and appropriate that the indie
pendence Day of the greatest of all
the nations be celebrated with con-
tests in the great national game.
Subscriptions to the Bethesda boys
fund can still be sent to the office of
the Morning News and the money will
be. put. to good use While the peo-
pie of means are figuring upon what
they will do to pass the holiday II
would not hurt them much to send
in a dollar, or even half to help
the orphan boys celebrate.

BURGLAR BROKE
INTO HELMKEN'S STORE.
CrnwIed Through Broken Glass md
Secnred 400 CiRnrs.

secured 400 cigars.
The store OF ]. H. HeImken, at Lib
erty and Whitaker streets was burg
larized early yesterday morning.
The thief made his entrance through
the front door by breaking the glass
out and crawling in. He was on the
inside for some time, to all appear
ances. before he decided to take his
departure for the cash drawers had
been visited. and things torn topsy
turvy. as if in an endeavor to locate
plumber.
When Mr.. Helmken opened his store
he discovered the broken glass. A hur-
ried survey disclosed the fact that the
thief had gotten away with 400 cigars.
The cash drawers had been opened but
nothing was taken from them, since
Mr.. Helmken. acting on a warning
given him several years ago in a sue
cessful burglary, has made it a custom
to take all money out at night and
place ii in safe.
Mr.. Helmken was congratulating
himself upon the fact that the thief
had taken comparatively so little, and
was preparing to go to market wnen
he discovered that his hat had been
stolen. Another hat was secured and
he went to the place where he always
kept his market basket. but it, too,
was not to be found.
The door through which an entrance
was effected is brightly lighted by an
electric light from the corner and the
Union Transfer Company, which is
open all night, is just across the
street. Mr.. Helmken is of the opinion
that the burglar was an old hand at
the business. The police have been
notified, and are working on the case.

KING MAY STAY IN
AUTHORITATIVELY STATED HE
MAY NOT RESIGN HIS OFFICE.
AS CLERK OF U. S. COURTS.
ANNOUNCEMENT PUTS DAMPER ON
ASPIRATIONS OF APPLICANTS.

Reported That Deputy Clerk Erwin
Has written Mr.. King, Urging
Him to Retain His Omce-ImProv-
ed Health of the Incumbent Urged
As "A Reason for the Request-Mr.
King Has Written That He will
BE Here Within Fortnight.
Will Go to See Judge Speer At
MT. Airy.
Just at a time when the race for the
clerkships of the United States Circuit
and District Courts is waxing warm
est. the announcement that Clerk II.
H. King may not, after all, decide to
resign from the two positions which
he now occupies, comes as a chill to
the aspirations Of the candidates for
office.
1t is authoritatively stated that Mr..
King has been urged to retain his dual
position with the government. A com
munication from Deputy Clerk L. NJ.
Erwin, who is at present discharging
the duties of the office, to Mr.. King, is
said to contain this request 1t is also
stated that the request was induced by
reports that Mr.. Kings health has
mended much since he has been in
Florida.
In letter received from him a few
days ago in Savannah Mr.. King wrote
that his stay in Florida had been vast
ly beneficial to him. and that he felt
that he had regained his health He
stated that he would probably return
about the middle of the present month.
The annual reports of the office, in
Guiding the digest of insolVent costs
and the moneys now in the registry of
the court are now being prepared.
These accounts will have to be sworn
to by him before Judge Speer at Mount
Airy.
The position in which the applicants
for the clerkships find themselves, if
the report be true, and Mr.. King de-
cides to retain his position, is similar
to that which others higher in authori-
ty were placed by the sudden deter
mination of Judge Mccormick of the
Circuit Court of Appeals to recon-
slider the question of his resignation
from the judiciary.
1t is said that the circuit judge had
decided to resign, but that when he
heard it was rumored that he was
only waiting for the bill which pro-
vided for an increase in his salary to
pass Congress before taking the step,
in order that he might receive an en-
HANGED amount as a retired jurist, he
became indignant and determined to
remain in office for some time to come.

Work on the Germania Bank build

two causes contributing to the delay
the discharge of the masons employed
in putting the stone in place and lay

of Grant Wilkins. the Atlanta con-
tractor for the building, went on a

ed movement Mr.. Bell, the superin-
tendent in charge of the work here,
did not give the men time to strike,
but let them go an hour before the
time appointed to leave work. Seven
men were laid off, which delayed the
work of putting in the terra Gotta
flooring and laying brick. The lack
of material has made it necessary to
suspend work on other parts of the
building.
Six masons have been employed by
Mr.. Bell and the work of putting in

be continued to-day. 1t is not known
when the steel framing needed will be
