able Properties in City.

Slackening of activity was noticeable
in the annual transactions IN farm
lands during the week ending Monday
evening. The value of the property
that changed hands was less and the
number of the farms that were bought
and sold was smaller than either the
week before or the last week Of
February.
The value Of the properly sold and
transferred during the three weeks
mas climbed TO the enormous total OF
$l,590,669. The total for the week
ending Monday was SGS5, $50; the week
before the transactions amounted TO
E97S,267, and the week before that

will continue to keep the weekly bust
ness above the normal for the remain
ing two weeks of March.
More Large Deals.

large transactions. the second largest

of the weeks market was that prac-
tically all Of the transactions were for

county Only four were from town.
ships in the northern half
Most prominent in the deals of any
of the townships Of the southern half
was Jefferson. which produced FIVE
large transactions for property worth
$4,000.
Two Of the largest Of these in the
week were the Kopel and Neuroth
deals In the first Mrs. Clara kopel
and husband sold to Bernard H. kopel,
o40 acres for s23,40O. Mrs. Kopel and
husband then bought of Frank Neu-
roth his splendid 160-acre farm for
$4,000 The latter is undoubtedly
record for land in the southern tier
Of townships.
GiIdner Buys Farm.
Not among the largest buys Of the
week. but interesting locally because
the purchaser was a city man. was the
sale by E. A. Thurber to {. E. Glldner,
of Gildner Bros. Of a Quarrer-section
farm in Timber Creek township, Gid
ner paid $40, 900 for it. Of which $4,000
was cash He assumed $1,000

purchase price. The farm is five
miles south of the city and quarter
of a mile west Of the Center street

The dealings in city and small town

Idle Negroes Thought
Responsible for Recent
Thefts Of Automobiles

The police do not think that the auto
-thefts which have been occurring re-
Gently are the work Of an organized
gang, but they consider that most OF
the thefts may be traced to negroes
who have worked around garages and
who are out of a job. Three thefts
were reported on Tuesday night and
two on Monday OF this number two
have been found.
The cars reported stolen Tuesday are
owned by the following persons:
Ivan z. Allen. license No. z477. Ga
taken from in front OF the Capital City
club; DR.. j. Il. Fits, Georgian Terrace,

CHEROKEE VOTERS HEAR
DR.. HARDMAN SPEAK
Declares He Has Met More
Voters Than Any Other
Candidate Can Meet
especial Dispatch to The JOurnalj

Especial Dispatch to The Journal
CANTON, Ga, Aug. 23.-Cherokee
county voters heard DR.. L. G.. Hard
man yesterday at noon in the interest of
his candidacy for governor. He reached
Canton at o'clock, coming from Car
tersville, where an address was deliv'
cred Monday. Before speaking he met
the voters here and discussed mis- candl
dacy in person with as many people
as it was practicable to see. Clerk
elect ]. w. Chamlee presented DR.. Hard
man to his hearers, referring to him as
"Georgia's next governor"
The audience gave DR.. Hartman an at
tentive hearing. Cherokee county Is in
his congressional district and for many
years the people of this section have
known DIR. Hardman. His Legislative
record is also a matter of familiarity II
the people of the district and the sup
porters of DIR. Hardman proudly point to
the fact that he is responsible for some
of the best laws on the statute books,
His visit and speaking engagement,
therefore, had been anticipated with
more than ordinary interest.
REVIEWS CAREER.
DR.. Hardman's address consumed near
ly an hour and half's time. He gave
a complete review of his career as a leg
islator and senator, covering period OF
ten years; discussed each plank in his
platform fully and interestingly; touch
ed upon every important issue associat.
ed with the governors race of two years
ago and reviewed his present campaign
up-to-date, stating that he had visited
more than las counties and had seen,
talked face to face with and met more
voters in Georgia than any of the op-
posing candidates will be able to do.
Georgia is a big state" he said, "ani
it Is herculean task to cover every
county during a campaign. However,
have practically done this and a won
derful fund of knowledge has been OBJ
tanned concerning the resources of the
state am acquainted with Georgia
and her people. When you place me in
the governors chair, you will have a
man there who knows Georgia and is in
close touch with her needs and the ac.-
ual conditions which exist in every Sec
ton"
Law enforcement was a subject that
received attention at DIR. Hardman' S
hands. "In 1914" he said, 81 stood for
strict law enforcement. This plank is in
my platform today. Two of the opposing
candidates are stressing this plank in
their speeches. 1 am glad to have them
join me in making a plea for observance
of Georgia's laws They have been
guardians Of the law; they were good
prosecutors. When am elected COVER
nor of Georgia, would like to see them
still acting as guardian and prosecutors
and help me enforce the laws on ou-
statute books.
