The Atlanta Constitution has the
following, which will interest the
friends Of Capt. w. II. Green, who has
been promoted to the position of gene
raj manager of the Richmond and
Danville system:
'The new general manager is one of
the most thoroughly equipped railroad
men in the country, and is regarded by
the officials Of the road and everybody
else conversant with the facts as with
out superior in ability. He began his
railroad career as a machinist in the
shops of the Columbia and Greenville
Road. After learning all that was to
be learned there be was made passenger
conductor on that road. From that
position he was made master of trains
of the North Carolina Railroad-from
Goldsboro to Charlotte-and later was
promoted to the position of superin-
tendent of the Richmond and Danville
division OF the Richmond and Danville
system. That is the division from
Richmond to Charlotte. His next step
was to the general superintendency Of
the Richmond and Danville system, a
position be held until his appointment
as assistant general manager of the
system. His elevation to the general
managership was considered a question
of only short time, as it ives under
stood Major Randolph had expressed a
desire to be relieved Of the active work
of the position"
