AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. Buy Real Estate and Have a Safe and Sure Profit Investment (By C. V. McAULIFFE.) The stimulus to Augusta real estate caused “by the Inception of the levee protection work has Increased and will continue to advance values all over the whole city as the work pro gresses and we are assured of freedom from futre inundations. Broad street values are not only in creasing rapidly, but there is compara tively little property on the market at all. This is quite a change from former conditions when it was more or less difficult to secure buyers. Indeed several parcels on the 1200 block of Broad have changed hands three or four times in the past year. This is a very healthy condition and is a positive indication of the fact that the investing public is gradually but surely transferring their activities to realty. The erection of the two sky-scrapers has created quite a feeling of optimism and there are undoubted Indications that these structures will be followed by others. The cross streets are now beginning parts are so heavy that, the derrick has to be employed to lift them. There are now 150 people at work on the Empire, and work has been started by the steel workers on the tower, which will be four stories above the top of the 13th story. Tile derrick In the northern half of the building lias been taken down and only one derrick will be required to pue up the tower since it is much smaller than the main building. Superintendent Yopp, with his fire proofing work, lias started on the fifth floor and is progressing very rapidly. He lias a considerable force of men and is carrying on this work so last that it will be only a matter of a few weeks before all of the fire proof flooring will have been laid. The brick work is now proceeling rapidly between the fourth and fifth floors and General Foreman Frank X. Pieters says that he expects to go up two floors a week witti tne brick. The swinging scaffolds by which the brick layers pull them selves up to the top of the building gradually as they go on with the work, are great conveniences and also a great safeguard against acci dents. The old fashioned way is to build the scaffolds cut of tlie win lows and many persons have been killed through Tailing scaffolds. Concrete is being poured into the cellar of the building and it will re quire 500 >ards to finisli the cellar floor. It has been made absolutely waterproof. Foreman Bergman expects to have his 35 ste-d workers away from Au gusta within the next two or three weeks as the steel on the tower will he finished by that time, and all of the riveting done. Supt. Albert Crane, Architect G. Lloyd Preacher and Supervising Ar chitect Spivey are all immensely pleased with the progress of work on the Empire The building Is to be one of the most magnificent in this entire section of the South and Au gustan* view the work on it with tre mendous pride. Indeed, they look »on the Empire as the most cherish ed possession Augusta has. The i eo ple of this city will be glad when the headquarters of the company are moved here in October and the Em pire becomes really an Augusta in stitution. The general offices of the company will occupy an entire floor. Real Estate Transfers $183: W. K. Miller to Anna W. Barksdale, lot. $200: Anna W.

It would serv to ,s j our city a more metropolitan appearance. The southern section of the city has developed greatly In an industrial way, and the recent purchase of twenty five acres on the Savannah road by one of the largest manufacturing fer tilizer plants in the country, means that very shortly we will have a huge factory added to our industries. Of course, the great development In Summerville and Monte Sano is known to all and it is also a remarkable fact that sub-divisions recently placed on the market are all practically sold out If our investors generally could be induced to operate exclusively in Au gusta real estate where the invest ment is safe and sure, our city would grow by leaps and bounds.
