DEATH or Or. {. c. PAsLAY

Il is with profound sorrow that We
announce the death of DR.. E. c. Pas
lay. who had been a resident of the
county for very nearly three score
years His name has been on the sub
scription books of the Banner continu-
Ously since il was founded in 1866. At
that tine DR. Paslay made frequent
visits 10 Ocala and was one of the
most popular and widely known men
In the county. Mrs. Paslay was a
woman OF superior culture and attain
ments and was very fond of literature,
and had a large circle of friends.
She died many years ago. The doctor
had not visited our city in a number
OF years. but we understand that he
continued in vigorous and robust
health. although he had exceeded the
Biblical limit of the tenure of life by
almost a score of years. He was
thrown from a horse on Thursday
morning and died that night. He
leaves a daughter who resided with
him on the old homestead near Will
llston. and Mr.. Malcolm Williams of
this city is a nephew.
The remains of our deceased friend
were laid to rest Friday afternoon in
the Remington Wacahoota family
burial ground.
Between him and the editor of this
paper there was an uninterrupted
friendship for nearly fifty years, and
we can truly say that
The fragrance of this friendship,
Though still. is with us yet,
As the rays of lingering twilight
After the sun is set"

distinct feature of the Hurt RuiId-
ing VIII be its fireproof qualities. Fires
that may occur can be stopped in the

This has been accomplished in tho

are made up in a unique wav The

with a 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-
tore the contract for the doors was
iet. The secret of success in the de-
vice lies largely in the fact that oxy-
gen is excluded.
Inc concern which owns the patent
rights on this process of making
doors is the Pyrono Process Company,
o. 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 way as to allow the escape
of gases which are due to chemical
action in the ageing of wood. "The
basic principle of tireproofng," 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.

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
great open court and wide roadway
may remain in front of the building
and in order that a magnificent per-
spective may be offered by the front
of the structure.
Figures on Building.
The building is triangular; west
front, IS feet, north front, 145 feet
II 11-16 inches; south front, 145 feet
II 11-16 inches; east front, 121 feet
II 3-S inches. The height is $50 feet

The chief architect, ]. f. r. Car

Nashville; the Empire Building, in

ments, in Birmingham. He is now
planning the tallest and best equipped
apartment house in the world.

CENTRAL STATION
POWER INSTALLED
Local Corporation Furnishes New
Skyscraper With Current and
Carter Electric Co. Fixtures.

Among Atlanta sub contrac tOrs
who landed contracts for furnishing
things for the Hurt Building were
the Georgia Railway and Power Com
pany and the Carter Electric Com
pany.
The Georgia Railway and Power
Company is to furnish all the cleo
trio power used in the structure. This
is central station current which has
been installed in such public build
ings as the Georgian Terrace, the
Ponce DeLeon Apartments, the Hotel
Ansley and the Winecoff Hotel, and
which will likewise be put into the
Healey Building when it is completed
about January /. Heat will be gen.
Grated through part of the power.
The Carter Electric Company had
the contract to furnish all the cleo
trical fixtures for the Hurt Building
and to make the necessary connec-
tions. The fixtures are among the
handsomest seen in this section, and
add greatly to the general effect of
marble walls artistic doors, ceilings
and such things that go to make
beauty in an Office building.

penter, with offices in the Metropoli
tan Tower, New York city, and the
architect in charge is NJ. H Sugar
man. The Realty Construction Com
pany, of Birmingham 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 III 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 o. K.
Elevator and staircase Enclosures
are fitted with ffreproof 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,
q 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
the main building at the apex portion
of the property formed by Edgewood
avenue and Exchange place. TIE in
terror dome will be lighted by indirect
light, giving a beautiful effect to both
exterior and interior
the main cuncourse is a long and
wide passage going clear through the
longitudinal axis of the building on
the ground floor and flanked on each
side by stores opening into this con-
course on one side and either on EX-
change place or Edgewood avenue on
the other. 1t is also hanked with
two banks of elevators on each side,
six in all. Allow ance has been made
for twelve elevators, the extra six TO

Tenants who contemplate moving
into the Hurt Building will have the
first opportunity of doing so this
week. That is, there will be num-
Der to take quarters whose leases
were signed as of October l. Then
there are others who will move No
vember /, still others who will go
December 1 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-
tions of the building with a mini
mum of inconvenience to tenants.
While the date for completion was
early set for October 1, it is probable
that several additional weeks will be
required before the structure will be
ready for a broom cleaning"
II. F. Martin Is Manager.
According to announcement made
Saturday. H. F. Martin, one of the
best known office building authorities
in the South, will be manager of the
Hurt Building. Mr.. Martin has charge
Of the loan department of the A. j.
& H. f. West Real Estate Agency
and was recently chosen to manage
the Avalon apartments, at the south
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 filed 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
IA shion to the main floor of the build
ing

from that story upward. For a ten
story building It is cents; for a fif-
teen-story building, % cents, and for
a twenty story building, 70 cents, says
writer in The New York Times.
A heavy surtax is imposed on the
buildins in addition to these charges
in the case of those buildings where
merchandise is stored on or above the
seventh floor. Only sample stocks
exempt the buildings from this charge.
The less hazardous stocks subject 1t
to a half-rate surtax. The stock sur
tax on the building is 10 cents for a
