NEW OFFICE BUILDING TO GO
UP ON H STREET, NEAR 18TH
Structure to Be Known as Wilkins Building
Will Be Financed by John F.
and Robert C.. Wilkins.

tho artificial "tan-stone The elevator
doors and cars. the ornamental fret
work over the main entrance, and al
doors and window frames on the first
floor will be OF bronze, as will the rail-
ines of the marble stairways. All of the
first floor, excepting the space required
for the main entrance, will be devoted to
two large store rooms.
Ninety-six Offices in Structure.
Each of the remaining eight floors will
contain twelve office rooms. so that the
structure will have total of ninetysix
Offices The building will be of steel con-
struction and will be fireproof throughout.
Two electric elevators will be installed
The floor plan for each story is such that
practically any number of rooms may
be arranged en- suite, and Ii is stated that
the plans already have proved so attrac-
tive that one local firm of lawyers has
taken lease on a suite Of eight offices,
so that 1t may have its own corridor
with each OF the offices opening from it.
The detailed plan of the building shows
that 1t is to be constructed around three
sides of hollow square, with an open
court. twenty-five by thirty-two feet in
the center, opening toward the west
and overlooking the gardens of the Cos
mos Club. Thus only the first floor and
basement will cover the entire lot. and the
store in the west half of the building will
be especially well lighted. since 1t will
have as part of its ceiling the large
skylight which also Will serve as the
base of the areaway. BY this arrange
ment every office in the structure will
be an outside room. Each store will
have the use of a basement room almost
as large as the store floor. space being
reserved in the rear of the basement,
however. for the engine room and the
mechanical department Of the building.
Randall II. Hagner will have the renting
Of the wilkins building. and the struc-
ture will have a total rental income of
about $4,000 a year.

they told such a straight story aboL

money here, four months that in Ala

see. l have collected for them from
banks, over $4,000.
After having DR.. Cheatham re-
other affairs well in hand, We began
to fight to have the contract with
Druscilla June set aside. Early in
July we decided to get Mr.. Toney to
go to Brunswick, Ga, to get certain
evidence regarding the character OF
in finding dozens of people willing
to testify about the way she lived in
your city. Druscilla soon learned he
had gone to Georgia. and, of course,
she was anxious to know what for.
Unon his return he told a number of
influential colored people what he
found out about her.
Instead of fighting the case through
the courts for a number of years and
at great cost, we decided the best
thing to do was to compromise the
matter if she would settle for a rea-
sonable amount. After Mr.. Toney
told her attorney what he knew about
her character, and the class of people
who would testify against her and in
favor of Nancy and Ethel, he agreed
to settlement. We paid her $4,000
in full settlement of all claims and
she decided back to Nancy and Ethel
all the real estate they had given her
and returned notes amounting to over
$4,000, and released all claims on the
5000 deposited in banks at the time
of DR.. Miller's death, which Nancy
and Ethel agreed to give her. They
recovered over $4,000 in money notes
and property. The settlement was
the best l ever heard of. 1t will ia

and keep them from worrying over 1t.

While aunt Nancy was in Georgia,
some one reported to the police that
Ethel was conducting an immoral
house and had her house raided. The

A Pertinent Communication
Regarding Late Steve Miller

The following letter was recently
received in this city from The Bank
of Pine Bluff, of Pine Bluff, Ark,
regarding Steve Nj. Miller, than whom
10 more respected negro ever lived
ip Brunswick. The letter is printed
in entirety and should prove of in
terest 10 those friends of Miller who
knew him while he lived in this city
II is as follows:
Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. 7, 1911.
L. P. Pinkney,
1909 Stonewall Street.
Brunswick, Ga. -
Dear Sir:-I beg 10 ackno Wedge re-
&C. t of your letter of recent date
as-lng dis to give you certain infor-
m-,.om ana Iacts regarding the estate
OF the late DR.. S. Nj. Miller. Owing
to absence from the city and rush OF
business | have delayed answering
yer letter for several days. l pre-
SIZE you want to know something
at Jut the value of the estate and the
tr .tment his wife, Nancy and her
ds. .shter, Ethel, have received since
IT, = came here.
DR.. Miller located in Pine Bluff
about ten years before he died and
accumulated an estate worth from
$4,000, to $4,000 He came here
with some money and invested most
of it in real estate and was build
ing a three story office building and
theatre for colored people when he
died. He had the respect and conf
dence of both races and was regard
ed as a very progressive and enter
prising man. Nothing was known
about his antecedents. The women
he lived with here was spoken of as
his wife and she continued to occupy
his home until Nancy Miller and ner
daughter came here from Georgia to
claim the estate. They came here as
strangers and naturally took up with
the first people of their race who ap
peared friendly and offered their SER
vices in the settlement of the es-
tate. They had DR.. Cheatham, a COL
ored doctor, appointed as administra-
tor and appointed a colored lawyer 10
represent them. The two induced
Nancy and her daughter to make a
settlement with Duscilla June. They
in banks amounting to over $4,000
and kept for themselves a brick
house and an unfinished opera house
and agreed to pay all the debts DR..
Miller owed when he died. They soon
realized that they had been forced
into a settlement they did not under
stand, and DR.. Cheatham' S conduct was
such that they soon grew suspicious
of him. They took up their resi-
dence in their own house, and DR..
Cheatham began to collect $500 per
month from them for living in their
own building. He collected one month
and when he tried to collect the seo-
ond months rent they baked. They
could not understand why they should
pay rent to live in their own home,
They decided to consult Mr.. H. X
Toney, white attorney, who inves
tigated the case and they appointed
him to have DR.. Cheathamm removed
and bring suit to have the settlement
of Druscilla June set aside on the
grounds of fraud and collision. He
soon made DR.. Cheatham resign and
had Ethel appointed administrator
but she could not serve, on account
of not being resident of this state
The matter was first brought to
my attention when Mr. Toney called
at the bank and told me about the
case. Later, the same day, he re-
