derricks, hoisting apparatus and
other rigging that we used on the
lead works job, and will bring other
apparatus to Atlanta as the need for
it develops. When our Atlanta branch
is opened we probably will employ
between 50 and 60 men to handle
■ind care for our apparatus, and that
number will be increased as we ex
pand our territory and more appa
ratus is brought here. We will be
prepared to handle and move and
*rect any kind of machinery, no mat
ter what its size, for our equipment
is the most powerful made. In the
work on the Georgia Lead Company’s
mill, we installed 150 tons of ma
chinery in 18 days, and one of our
derricks lifted easily one load that
weighed 42 tons.”
Mr. Rice expects to go to Chicago
within a few days to make the final
arrangements for the opening of his
Atlanta office, and probably will re
turn within a few weeks. During his
absence T. S. Van Stone, one of his
assistants, will be in charge of the
apparatus that is here, and will look
after the local interests of the com
pany.
The lead mill which Mr. Rice has
just completed the installation of the
machinery is expected to be in full
o peration on February 1, to supply
’he Georgia Lead Company’s South-
p rn trade with sheet lead, pig lead,
lead sewer pipe, etc. The plant will
employ between 50 and 100 men.
D. W, Brown Calls His
$166,000 Gift 'Trifle 1
DENVER, Dec. 29.—A check for
* 150,000 and a $16,000 necklace was
’he gift of D. W. Brown, Denver
multi-millionaire, to his daughter Ha-
*el Bird Brown, who was married in
•New York on December 6 to Captain
J W. Flanagan.
Mr. Brown admitted he had made
The present and called it 'a mere
Clubhouse Engaged to Accommo
date Hundreds of Guests at
“Tin” Anniversary.
Ten years ago when David W.
Webb and pretty Miss Annie Elder
secretly planned and gleefully carried
out a runaway marriage—to the
amazement of their own parents, as
well as to the general surprise of
their friends and acquaintances—the
young bride exacted a promise that
they would celebrate the tenth anni
versary of their wedding in a manner
that would make up for the trick they
had played on people by their elope
ment.
So it comes that there will be a
‘‘tin wedding” Tuesday evening in the
Women’s Clubhouse out at Clarkston.
Each of the elopers was 20 years old
when, without saying a word to any
one, they met by appointment and
went to the hoem of the Rev. Julian
S. Rogers, then the assistant of the
Rev. Len G. Brouerhton, and made de
mand that he then and there make
them husband and wife.
With the lapse of years Mr. Webb,
now a sedate and well-established
Atlanta business man, had begun to
imagine that Mrs. Webb .had forgot
ten the promise he had made her in
the excitement of their elopement.
And, with the ordinary man’s not
overly enthusiastic liking for social
functions, he was not in any haste to
remind her.
But she remembered. Their home
in Clarkston, to which they moved
several years ago, would be too small
for the concourse of friends and rela
tives. she thought. The Women’s
I Clubhouse was just the place. Be-
I tween three and four hundred invlta-
i tions have been issued to the celebra
tion.
The Rev. and Mrs. Julian S. Rogers
will be among the guests of honor.
And then there will be three of the
vounger generation of Webbs—How
ard, aged 8; Mary Lee, aged 6, and
David, Jr., aged 4. But this is not the
entire family of Mr. and Mrs. Webb,
by any means. There still are Rob
ert, aged 2, and William, who was
ushered into the world only four
months ago. They have been prom
ised that they shall attend the next
decennial celebration of the Webb
elopement, but they are too young
just now to go out to parties and cel
ebrations.
Mr. Webb is a member of the Webb
& Vary Printing and Publishing firm
at No. 38 1-2 West Alabama street.

That all the Chicago morning newspapers open up their circulation books and
records to the Association of American Advertisers and to such other represent
ative bodies as may be selected.
The Chicago Examiner herewith agrees to have this investigation made and it
herewith invites the Association of American Advertisers to take the first step
to bring this about.
The investigation, under these auspices, would be fair and square, comprehen
sive and comparative. It would remove all doubt in the minds of national ad
vertisers and Chicago merchants as to the circulation, particularly the city
circulation, of each of the four Chicago morning newspapers.
The period for this investigation shall be the six months beginning July 1,1913,
and ending December 31,1913.
If any one of the other morning newspapers of Chicago refuses to open up its
books and records, then the Chicago Examiner agrees herewith to have a joint
investigation made with the remaining Chicago morning newspapers.
If all of the other morning newspapers refuse to open their books and
records, then the Chicago Examiner herewith agrees to submit to this
investigation alone because the Chicago Examiner insists on proving
its own circulation.
rT’MTF CHICAGO KXAMIXF.R honestly believes that this investigation will prove that its
city circulation is tar in excess of any other Chicago morning newspaper, both Daily and
Sunday.
The Chicago Examiner honestly believes that this investigation will further show' that the net
paid Sunday circulation of the C hicago Examiner is almost double that of its nearest combeiiton.

Another Eruption of
Vesuvius Imminent'
Installation of Heavy Machinery in
Factories Throughout South
To Be Handled From Here.
Clay P. Rice, head of the Rice Con
tracting Company, came to Atlanta
for the first time a few weeks ago
to install the heavy machinery in a
lead mill at East and Bishop streets—
the only plant of the kind south of
Cincinnati—for the. Georgia Lead
Works. The work virtually was com
pleted Saturday afternoon, when the
last of the 150 tons of machinery was
put in Its place.
So impressed was Mr. Rice with the
Industrial activity and possibilities of
Atlanta that he is now making prep
arations to establish a branch office
of his company in this city, and make
Atlanta the headquarters for the in
stallation of heavy machinery
throughout the entire South.
‘‘Atlanta, being the industrial (‘en
ter of the South,” said Mr. Rice Mon
day morning, "is the logical location
for the Southern branch of a busi
ness such as purs. There appears to
he a lack of facilities for the moving.
;installation and erection of heavy
machinery in this section of the
•ountry. I understand that frequent
ly it is necessary to send to the
N’orth and East for apparatus when
ever it is necessary to move some
kinds of machinery. We expect the
Atlanta office to become one of our
largest branches and furnish us a
goodly share of our business.

Blaze in Hay and Feedstuff Build
ing Burns All Day Sunday—Ad
joining Factory Damaged.
A pile of smoking ruins Monday
morning marked the site of the
building of the National Warehouse
Company, at No. 319 Decatur street,
which was razed in a fire that started
at 3 o’clock Sunday morning and
burned stubbornly throughout x the
day. Considerable damage was done
also to the annex plant of the Na
tional Pencil Company, which adjoins
the Warehouse Company’s building.
Two hosemen of the fire depart
ment, McConnell and Smith, of en
gine company No. 4, narrowly escaped
serious injury when the walls of the
warehouse fell, and both were se
verely cut and bruised by the falling
timbers. Smith was pinned to the
ground by a heavy section of iron
plate, oil top of which were several
burning bales of hay. He was res
cued by his mates before the fire
dould reach him.
The blaze was one of the most
stubborn the firemen have fought for
several years. Falling walls and tel
egraph wires imperiled their lives
half a dozen different times, and at
several stages in the fight it seemed
the fire had conquered and would
sweep ihe entire block. The entire
downtown fire-lighting apparatus an
swered the first call, and several ad
ditional companies were brought in
from the outlying districts before the
blai& was subdued. In spite of the
early hour, large crowds gathered to
watch the spectacular blaze, and a
detachment of police was necessary
to prevent the crowds hindering the
firemen in their work.
The loss to the National Warehouse
Company is between $30,000 and $40,-
000. according to the statement of Jo
seph Gregg, president of. the compa
ny, and it is estimated that the plant
of the Pencil Company was damaged
about $10,000, The losses are under
stood to be covered by insurance.
Firemen have yet been unable to
determine tile cause of tile fire, but it
is thought it caught from sparks from
switch engines.
The burned building was construct
ed of sheet iron and wood, and was
filled with grain, hay and feedstuff3.

Prognosis -Hopeless, not only because
physicians consider it so, but the condi

death was believed to be not far away.

Hatch that live years ago he was In

Fulton's Diabetic Compound, and it re
stored him to business. He stated that j
he kept some of it on hand and would
loan Hatch some till more could be had

To the surprise of Hatch's friends,
he was soon able to leave the hospital.
Instead of being in his grave, four
months later found him on a visit to
his old home in Portland, Maine.
Passing througli San Francisco he
called and gave us this Item in person.
If you have diabetes and are of mid

N a statement, in which it substitutes fiction for fact, the Chicago Tribune asserts that it has a
