New England's railroad system, and the people who condemned 1t threo years ago condemn it now and will be con- demning it three years hence.
 1t seems to be oue of the laws Of Providence that the mon who have large work to do have to be annoyed, pricked, slandered, and publicly har- assed while their great work is in prog ress. The Ameses of New England who built the Union Pacific, and Harri- man who rebuilt, were no exception to the rule. and the railroad builders of New England need not expect to escape. But the people of New England should understand that the Brandeis remedy, "To go backward" is just as fallacious as his remedy of scientific manage ment." The people of New England should also remember that If the rail road is pushed into the going back. ward" policy the states of New Eng land will in time have to come forward and supply the capital that Mir.

urged on to it, he explained, because
a bit of rare good fortune, as he ex-

know, he and his assistant at his

the wealthy Jared Jones of Pittston.

spoke John Andrews to his daughter.
Nellie did not reply in words, but
her face flushed and her head droop'

law within his family circle and even
his wife rarely dared to gainsay him.
Mrs. Andrews looked very solemn.

"That is news, indeed" murmured
the marveling Mrs. Andrews.

there must be no more of this fool
ishness with Rolfe Wilson. The heir
to a million is not to be picked up
every day. Benton is already a young
business man of standing, while Will
son is simply his clerk. Between the
two there is no question as to the
right choice"

to the side of Mrs. Andrews and bury

The lady gently stroked the head
of her darling and only child. She
tried to speak soothing words and
finally Nellie became calmer.
There is indeed no question of
choice between Rolfe and Mr.. Ben

Poor Rolfe gave up every dollar of

Mrs. Andrews sighed in her patient,
helpless way. She realized that her
husband was a masterful man whose

Seveneenoy Structure 7O0OOO To Be Supplemental
With Additional SectOn-Rounda Is Feature, With Columns
of Georgia MarbIe-Year Required to Build.

Tenants who contemplate moving
into the Hurt Building will have the
first opportunity of doing so this
week. That is, there will be a num-
Der to take quarters whose leases
were signed as of October /. Then
there are others who will move No
vember 1, still others who will go
December l and some who will wait
for the first Of the year
This arrangement of leases makes
it possible for the management of
the Hurt Building to complete por-
lions of the building with a mini
mum of inconvenience to tenants,
While the date for completion was
early set for October /, it is probable
that several additional weeks will be
required before the structure will be
ready for broom cleaning"
II. F. Martin Is Manager.
According to announcement made
Saturday, II. F. Martin, one of the
best known office building authorities
in the South, will be manager of the
Hurt Building. Mr. Martin has charge
& H. F. West Real Estate Agency
and was recently chosen to manage
the Avalon apartments, at the south
east corner of West Peachtree street
and West North avenue.
The Hurt Building is the property
of the Atlanta Realty Corporation,
Joel Hurt, president, and is located
in the triangle bounded by Edgewood
avenue, Exchange place and Ivy
street. II is seventeen stories high
and the cost 100000. The building
is located in the apex of the triangle,
the base on Ivy street to be filled out
as soon as the present section is ten
anted. Allowance has been made for
this extension in the arrangement OF
elevators, Railways and walls.
The section has been constructed
so that the work on the other part
can go on without interference to
tenants who are located to the west.
Arcade a Decided Feature.
One of the distinctive features of
the Hurt Building is its circular ar
cade, which is located at the inter-
section of Edgewood avenue and Ex-
change place and which constitutes
the main entrance to the building.
This is two stories in height and is
calculated to make a most pleasing
impression on people entering the
structure.
The arcade is made up of exterior
and interior ornamental stone, which
has been pronounced highly artistic
Interior steps mount in semi circular
fashion to the main floor of the build
ing.

HURT BUILDING.
FREE FROM FIRE.
THROUGH DOORS.
Special Pyrons Process in Opera
ton and Officials Feel Safe.
Asbestos For Safety.

A distinct feature of the Hurt Build
ing will be its fireproof qualities. Fires
that may occur can be stopped in the
room where they originate, without
passing to adjoining compartments.
This has been accomplished In the
installation of fireproof doors. which.
are made up in a unique way. The
heart Of the door is of ordinary wood
and on this is placed a strip of thick
asbestos, and on top of the asbestos
goes a strip Of wooden veneer. In
caoe Of fire, the outer coating Of wool
burns and the IRE stops at the ashes
tos. literally burning itself out, but
with minimum OF danger and loss.
Experiments on this door have
demonstrated the usefulness Of the
device, and the Hurt Building officials
were satisfied with a test made be-
fore the contract for the doors was
let The secret of success In the de-
vice lies largely in the fact that oxy-
gen is excluded.
The concern which owns the patent
rights on this process Of making
doors is the Pyrono Process Company,
Of Columbus, Ohio, and the manufac-
turer is the Alfred Struck Company,
Of Louisville, Ky.
The Pyrono Process Company's
doors are also airproof. but are made
in such a way as to allow the escape
of gases which are due to chemical
action in the ageing of wood. The
basic principle of fireproofng," say
the patentees, lis isolation, division,
separation; the protection of things
beyond the immediate fire zone, and
this principle finds its best expression
in the Pyrono products"
Other Pyrono products are parti
tons, frames, elevators, ceilings, plain
and panel wainscots and stairways.

man. The Realty Construction Com
pany, of Birmingham o. and Atlanta
had the contract.
There are $4,000 square feet of in
terror marble. This material is also
used extensively on the outside of
the building proper, with one story of
terra Gotta and twelve stories of light
gray porcelain, with gaily decorated
brick and terra Gotta panels fur
nishing pleasing effect in color.
Structure Defies Elements.
The steel in the Hurt Building is
designed to withstand high wind and
earthquake disturbances. A solid base
and good connections make it prac-
tically impossible for cyclones and
seismic shocks ever to hurt the Hurt
Building, even though such disasters
should visit Atlanta.
There are 1900 to 2,400 tons of steel
in the building, and some 5000 rivets
in each floor.
The foundation consists Of I'll piles
of reinforced concrete, averaging %
feet in depth below the ground. These
piles are covered with concrete caps
and the steel columns placed on the
top of the caps.
Retaining walls and cellar are alb
solutely weatherproof. The National
Governments specifications of OIL
mixed concrete was followed in this
work and pronounced Q. K.
Elevator and staircase Enclosures
are fitted with f1reproof doors. Fire
may burn out one room, but never
reach the next.
Georgia Marble Used.
The arcade or rotunda is construct
ed of Georgia marble on the exterior
and Breche Violette and Alabama
marble on the interior, AZ feet high,
Is feet interior diameter. This will be
the main entrance to the building,
giving access to the concourse on the
main floor and to a large banking
room. This rotunda is connected with

$4,000 SUIT
BEFORE COURT
Action to Recover Two Acres or
Peachtree Street From Well
Known People.

OF more than ordinary interest in
the calendar Of the Superior Court Is
the suit brought to recover the old
Adams property on Peachtree street,
north of Pine. Attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS have filed a demurrer, adj
hitting certain facts, but denying
there is ground for action. Should
the demurrer be overruled, the suit
will be tried on its merits, and a
warm legal battle is promised. If
the demurrer is sustained. the de-
PENDANTS have won victory, but the
plaintiffs will undoubtedly continue
the fight.
The property in question consists
Of two acres and Ia worth probably
s25o.oOo. There IL a frontage Of 1855
feet on Peaohtree. ending at the
southeast corner Of Merritts avenue.
The corner lot at this point is so feet
on Peachtree and 14O feet on Merritts
avenue, with a substantial two-sto-y
frame dwelling.
Prominent People Involved.
South of this are shops used Cor
automobile purposes on a lot 81 by 40
feet, and south of this is the 50 by
S0S foot lot of Mrs. Sarah d. Har-
ris, where the j. o. Harris home
stood. South Of the Harris property
is the Peck home, "a by 100 feet.
and on CORTLAND street is the place
of Mrs. Martha Mitchell.

ments and the, 100 by 1853 foot lot at
the southwest corner of CORTLAND

.'leted. The main concourse is wholly
l4ne4 with ornamental iron, marble
and decorative ceilings.
Much Room in Concourse.
A trust company room opens into
the main cOncourse, having an area
of about 1900 square feet. There
will also be a vault room in the eel
lar, two large rooms for restaurant
and grill room, and a barber shop.
A large banking room will be on the
first floor seven feet above the side
walk and entered by two giant circu-
laI stairs in the rotunda. This room
is of about 5000 square feet, two
stories high and VIII be one Of the
'prettiest in the country.
Perfectly Lighted Rooms.
Another important feature is the
large number of various sized rooms,
all perfectly lighted Some of the
sizes in square feet of these offices
are 227 27O $40, 1856, 40, 435, 49,
500, $40, $50 635, 2,155, 900, 1000,
2,025, 1,422 and suits of three rooms
area of which are 1872, 165 and 1873
square feet, and floors Of $50 and
4,242 square feet. Some Of the sizes
of the stores are 300 $50, 400, $50,
$50, 40, 635, 265, 480. 355 and ESQ
square feet.
The custom of owners in design
ing a building is to sacrifice art and
very often comfort for the sake of
space and employment Of every foot
of ground. Mr. Hurt had the new
building laid out on precisely the con-
trary principle
The point formed by Edgewood
avenue and Exchange place will be
sacrificed by the owners for 80 feet
back from the apex In order that a
great open court and wide roadway
may remain in front of the building
and in order that q magnificent per-
spective may be offered by the front
of the structure.
Figures on Building.
The building is triangular; west
front, As feet; north front, 145 feet
II 11-16 inches; south front, las feet
II 11-16 inches; east front, 121 feet
II 3-8 inches. The height Is ESQ feet
from cellar to roof The floor area
is 1S5,172 square feet. The number
of rooms, 404, and the cubical con-
tents, 2,492, 694..
The chief architect, ]. f. r Car
penter, planned such buildings in the
South as the Hermitage Hotel, in
Nashville the Srallman Building, in
Nashville; the Empire Building, in
Birmingham. and the Ridgely Apart
ments, in Birmingham. He is now
