the two supposed burglars, aided them
in getting the mule out of the lot and

Hurt and Healy Off to Good Start
SKYSCRAPERRACE IS ON
They’re off in the skyscraper steeple
1‘ chase.
William Healy announced this week
he\ was ready to start work on his
office building in Forsyth street.
Joel Hurt announced his long-project
ed Edgewood avenue structure a week
ago.
Betting is even on the finish. In
fact, several bunches of. loose money
have been placed in the future books
for several years, ever since the
negro stuck the first pick in the Healy
property and the eighteenth reporter
published the ninety-seventh story that
Joel Hurt was about to put up that
building.
Always in “a Short Time."
For these many years the principal
occupation of city editors on dull days
was to send the cub reporter to learn
from Joel Hurt just when that office
building would be started. The cub in
> variably came back with the facts,
which were these: That the plans were
being drawn, the property was about to
be cleared and within a “short time”
Atlanta’ would have a hew member in
! the skyscraper clhb. Then next year
; about the same time a new cub would
go get the same story.* He see
‘ Mr. Hurt, who wasn’t in, but he got the
1 information from “the office.”
But Mr. Healy’s building operations
were carried on with no more conceal
, ment that that offered by a high MSard
fence. True, .Mr. Healy was reticent
i almost to a fault; true, he preferred to
I abide by his works and not by his
Words; certainly, he was never guilty
of deceiving trusting reporters by fill
ing their brains with fantasies. But he

Company, the last of Georgia’s servic
corporations to report satisfactory tax
returns for 1912. has info: med the

turns of 1911. bringing the railroad's
taxable valuations for 1912 up to $14.-

FUGITIVE HIDES IN SWAMP.
MACON, GA Aug 14.—Hiding in
the swamp a few miles pelow Macon.
Jack Cleveland, a negro, wanted in
Houston county for burglary, is defy
ing arrest. Tracked to the Ocmulgee
swamp by bloodhounds, he was,almost
overtaken, and only succeeded in es
caping by twice emptying his pistol and
firing his gun several times at the offi
cers.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, WEDNESDAY. AVGUST 14. 1912
assuredly was going to build something,
and there was the hole to prove it.
It began when the old structures were
cleared from the lot and one negro and
a mule began delving in the top sur
face of tomato cans and paving stones.
After a while the_ negro struck soft
earth and worked faster. Soon the hole
was big enough to bury a dog in. After
a while you couldn’t see the mule's
back without leaning over the fence.
Hole One of City’s Sights.
The hole became one of the sights
of the city. Visitors came from far
countries to look into its yawning
depths and place bets on whether the
miners would strike coal or oil. The
pile of rock which occupied one corner
was moved again and again that the
earth beneath might be torn out and
hauled to the surface. The”city grant
ed Mr. Healy an extension of time for
laying a sidewalk there, on the plea
that a towering structure would soon
go up. But instead of going up, the
workmen kept going down. Mr. Healy
undoubtedly has the finest basement in
Atlanta, even if he never builds any
thing over it.
Mr. Hurt beat Mr. Healy in the first
'.ap. for the Hurt theater actually was
built. It wasn’t the>ta!l building At
lanta expected, but It proved that Mr.
Hurt really did plan the rejuvenation
of Edgewood avenue. Mr. Hurt has
always felt a deep interest in this sec
tion and its upbuilding, even discarding
the sordid reason that he owns most of
it. He has labored to bring business
that way, even as Asa G. Candler has
striven for the upbuilding of the north
side. And he is going to have a big
building there if he has to build it him
self.
SUES RAILWAY WHICH
DIDN’T RECOMMEND HIM
W. M. Savage, formerly a brakeman
of the Seaboard Air Line, says the
company is indebted to him in the sum
of SIO,OOO for refusing him a letter of
recommendation when he quit its serv
ice.
Savage asserts, in a suit filed in the
city court today, that he was later em
ployed by the Atlanta. Birmingham and
Atlantic Company for a few days, then
discharged because he had no letter
frpm bis former employers. He charges
that failure to obtain the letter caused
him .to he blacklisted in railroad cir
cles.

TRUST RIME MO
CURIOUS MISHAPS
Crowbars in Wheels and Mo
lasses in Boilers Hindered
Independent Refiner.
DENVER. COLO., Aug 14. Leiters
and telegrams indicating that H. O.
Havemeyer, head of the American Su
gar Refining Company, had been tin
controlling factor in the beet sugar in
dustry in Colorado, were introduced to
day 1n the government's inquiry to dis
solve the Sugar trust. To relieve the
monotony of the documentary evidence
C. H. Keyes, of Denver, who operated a
small Independent factory, told of the
strange mishaps that had befallen his
machinery during the time the trust
was seeking control in the Western
states. Molasses, ire said, had been
poured into his boilers, and crowbars
had been placed in the machinery.
'I he first of tfte telegrams was one
from Havemeyer, addressed to Chester
S. Morey, head of the Great Western
Sugar Company, which said:
“Can not pay more than $4,511 for
beets.” It was dated February 16. 1903.
An answer in a letter written by Mo- |
rey assured Havemeyer that he agreed :
heartily regarding this price limit In
other letter, written in 1903 by Morey,
says:
“You will never get the interests of I
northern Colorad" in proper shape to
handle acreage and l:il»<>r until all hands
are in one company.” Another letter
told Havemeyer that if he wished to
suggest any new names for the directo
rate of the Great Western Sugar Com
pany certain directors would willingly
step aside to allow the Havemeyer can
didates to be elect, d. It had been tes
tified In New York that Havemeyer had
nothing to do with the Great Western!

EVERGLADE PROBERS
ABSOLVE WILSON, BUT
RAP ASSISTANT HAYS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. —The opera
tions of Assistant Secretary Hays, of the
department of agriculture. In North Caro
lina. with J. O. Wright, a former depart
ment employee, are criticised in a report
of the Moss committee which investigated
the Florida Everglades and other affairs
The report just made public hints that
impeachment proceedings were narrowly
escaped.
I Secretary Wilson is not condemned for
the Florida Everglades affair, in which it
was charged that land agents had useo
their influence at the department to pre
vent publication of official reports unfa
vorable to the land project.
Loose management is charged against
the department, however, in that connec
tion.
Llliott and Morehouse, tw T o employees
of the department who were discharged
on technical grounds after publication of
the Everglades charges and who have
since been indicted, are left to the courts.
Representative Sloan is preparing a
supplemental report in which he expects
to defend the administration of the de
partment. Both reports will be submitted
to the house this week.

Mothers’-
No young woman, In the joy of
coming motherhood, should neglect
i to prepare her system for the physl-
I cal ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
I child depends largely upon the care
■ she bestows upon herself during the
i waiting months. Mother's Friend
prepares the expectant mother’s sys
tem for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all tis
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con
j ditlon, brings the woman to the crisis
lin splendid physical condition. The
baby, too, is more apt to be perfect and
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for nature’s supreme
function. No better advice could be
given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mother’s Friend; it is a
medicine that has proven its value
in thousands of
: cases. Mother’s
Friend is sold at Li,lfl iULIO
