struction of the Kennesaw Marble
Works seems impossible.
There is nothing about the place ex
cept iron, steel, brick and marble, the
only exception being the office build
ing, which is 200 feet from the main
building.
The plant will be one of the show
places of Marietta. It is interesting to
see how the great blocks of marble,
direct from the quarries, are unloaded
from the cars, sawn into the required
sizes, cut into shapes, polished and
shipppd with the least possible waste
of muscle. :
To a man without equipment the
problem of handling a block of marble
;weighing twenty-five tons would be a
-difficult one, yet at the Kennesaw Mar
l ble Works four men could take it from
i a flat car and carry it to the saws.
. The sawing-room is 216 feet long
| and fifty-one feet wide. Alongside this
building, on the outside, is a twenty
'five-ton traveling crane, which is an
overhead railway 70 feet wide and 350
feet long. The machinery with which
it is equipped will pick up a great
block of marble from a fiat car as
easily as an engine moves off with a
| train when the engineer pulls the
throttle, and the marble is taken to
the point at which it is to be sawn.
‘ The sawing-room is a mass of ma
! chinery. In one row, extending for 216
|feet, are fifteen steel sawing frames,
'each as large as an ordinary room
and altogether containing enough steel
to load an entire freight train.
Each frame, or gang, as it is called,
is fitted with steel saws, that swing
back and forth, driven by a machine
with a crank like that of the driving
frod of a locomotive. The saws have
‘ no teeth and the marble is cut by sand
upon which water is always flowing to
ikeep the marble cool and to carry the
sand into the crevice made by the
l saw.
When the marble is sawn, like lume
! ber.in a saw-mill, it is carried, on little
flat cars, into the main mill, which ad
| joins the sawing department. That
part of the building is 94 feet wide
}and 215 feet long, and is equipped
| with the various kinds of machinery
! for turning out the finished product.
| A five-ton electric crane disposes of
lthe question of lifting the heavy pieces
)of marble. There are rubbing-beds,

great revolving dises, 12 feet across,
on which the marble is polished. There
are planers, turning lathes, polishing
lathes, drills and pneumatic tools for
the marble-cutters, so that everything
that machinery can do is done by ma
chinery.
The boiler-room contains four boil
ers, with a combined capacity of 350-
horse power, and the engine-room is
equipped with a 350-horse power Ham
ilton Corliss engine. Electricity is
supplied by a 2¢o-horse power dynamo,
and there is a smaller dynamo for the
lights. The boxing and shipping de
partment is alongside the Waestern
and Atlantic railroad, and fhe thou
sands of passengers who travel that
road will catch a glimpse of the great
marble plant and read this sign:
“Kennesaw Marble Co.,
~Martétta, Ga.
Built 1885. Burned Jan. 1, 1910.
Rebuilt 1910
The office of the company is a sub
stantial two-story building, 30 by 40 in
size. The upper story is given over to
the draughting department, in which
the designs are prepared. On the low
er floor is the office of President Cor
telyou and the general business ofl‘ice,'§
fitted out with a vault and everything
necessary for the business. These OM
fices are very elegant and beautitully“
furnished. ‘
The people of Marietta may take|
pardonable pride in the fact that this
important industry has been re-estab-l
lished by the old company, which, de
spite the heavy loss by fire, was able
to handle its affairs without the sale
of new stock.
The officers of the company are: A.
V. Cortelyou, president; John H. Ken
dall, vice-president; J. E. Massey, sec
retary and treasurer. The other di
rectors are John P. Cheney and S. W.
Jones.
President Cortelyou says that he
hopes to have with him all the old
men who were scattered when the fire
destroyed the plant, and that he will
pave places for practically all of the:mn.
The value of this industry to Ma
rietta may be in a measure estimated
when it is stated that the company op
erates no store, and practically the
entire pay roll finds ils way across
the counters of the Marietia mer
chants.

Death of Mr. David W. Hyde.
After an illness of several weeks,
Mr. David D. Hyde passed away at
six o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
of last week, and was buried at Shiloh
church Friday morning, after funeral
services at the residence Thursday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. M. B.
Dillard.
Nearly every resident of Marietta
‘knew Mr. Hyde, and he possessed
many friends here and elsewhere. He
had been connected with the Western
& Atlantic Railroad twenty-six years.
For a long time he was conductor of
the Marietta accommodation, during
the time it was used altogether by
the Marietta colony of Atlanta work
ers, and he was very popular with
‘them. Always cheerful and accom
modating, a loyal friend and a man of
’honesty and integrity, he was held in
high esteem by those who knew him.
Besides a widow, Mr. Hyde is sur
vived by four sons and three daugh
ters, Messrs. F. 1., Hyde, Mr. H. L.
Hyde, Mr. A. C. Hyde, and E. E.
Hyde; Miss Nora Hyde, Buna Hyde,
'and Alma Hyde.

To the Public:
No one should be deceived by the
wail of the Kennesaw Paper Company
to its “Patrons and_the Citizens of
Marietta.” There is nothing new about
this Company except its name. For
' the last four, five or six years, the
;Trust Company of Georgia has con
trolled these properties and is still
’domg 0. The Paper Company is
‘nothing but a product of the Trust
‘(Jmnpany. It had its birth in Atlanta,!
where it was incorporated and is said]
to have its principal office. It is not |
even chartered by the courts of this!
County. Its president is the president |
of the Trust Company of Georgia. To
those who have resided in this (7ity§
during these years, this would be{
i enough said.
| The complaint of unfair treatment
| against the officials of this City is
unfounded. These officials have done
nothing excepi carry out the demands
(of a long suffering public. This com
;pluim against these officials is a com
lplaint against the people of the City
who have authorized what has been
done, For this City has needed sew
ers, wholesome water, and protection
against fire, It has had neithev. Time
and again demands wer2z made for
pure water and fire protection, without
‘avail. It was evident that if these

were to be secured the City must fuf
nish them. Bonds were voted for sew
ers and water works, and the City
officials have expended this money for
these purposes and, as they believe,
to the best advantage possible.
We quote the following statement
from the letter of the Paper Com
pany:
“First: When the City of Marietta
determined to build its own water
works, we exhausted every possible
effort to have them purchase on a
reasonable basis the water works
plant owned by us, which has been
serving the people of Marietta with
out profit for the past fifteen years,
proposing to leave the price to be
paid for the property to arbitration,.
which was declined.”
The best reply that can be made to
this statement is that it is untrue.
As early as September 14, 1909, the
Water’ Wo:;ks qurd opened negotia
tions with ‘referenee to the purchase
of -fiafimfl%g, water works sys
tem situated in the City of Marietta
by writing the President of the Trust
Company to have his engineer to meet
with the.engineer of the Water Works
Beard for the purpose of making a
detailed statement of the mains and
pipe-lines situated in the City, show
ing the mileage and size, together
with an estimate of the value of the
mains, pipe-lines, plugs and other
property connected with said water
works system in said City. The pres
ident of the Company was at that time
advised that this request was with a
view to opening negotiations for the
purchase or these properties, and this
method was suggested as a fair one
for ascertaining what the properties
were and their value. This proposi
tion in behalf of the City was declined,
and the president of the Trust Com
pany, now the president of the Paper
Company, submitted a proposition to
sell the water works system to the
City for $100,000.00, coupled with the
condition that the City should furnish
water to operate the paver mill at
Jc¢ per thousand gallons. The citizens
of Marietta were then and are no
paying 20c per thousand gallons to
this Company for water, but it. de
manded that the City should furnish
it water to operate its paper _milis
at 3e per thousand gallons, m
