SOUTHERN CHANGES.
The General Shake Upon That System About CompIeted-Mr. Lincoln Green Comes
 to Birmingham.

Mir Haiden- Miller's successor as divis- ion freight agent of the Southern rail- way in this city has been appointed and will assume. charge of the office about the 1st of November.
 The man who succeeds him is MT. Lin coin Green, formerly chief clerk to Gen eral Traffic Manager J. M. Culp. Prior to that he was in the general offices of the Louisville and Nashville at Louis- vile.
 MT. Green arrived in the city yesterday and will spend the remainder of the month familiarizing himself with his new duties. tsf

 MT Harry s. Jackson, who has been soliciting agent of the Southern at At lanta, has been transferred to Chatta- nooga and promoted to the general agency of all the Southern lines includ- ling the Alabama Great Southern.
 A successor to Maj.-W A. Moody. so- liciting freight agent who resigned last week to go with the Howard Harrison Iron company, has not been appointed yet.
 In speaking of the changes being made on the Southern the Atlanta Journal of Wednesday says:
 "The Southern railways many lines are now one compact system, though radical changes in the freight traffic de- partment are announced today
 "The final changes and adjustments have been made. On October the great est organization Of railways the south has ever known began its existence under one central management.
 "The new arrangement involves many important changes Some of the oldest employees of the lines forming the South ern system are reduced in rank: others are promoted.
 For an indefinite period in the past the Southern has shifted offices and officers hither and thither with the swiftness and mystery of a kaleidoscope. But today the purposes that were beneath these movements stand revealed.
 Every change has tended toward the consolidation of the various interests into one closely united system. operated from the fountain head. Where heretofore there have been separate offices controll- ing the affairs of the different lines there will be only an assistant to the general office at Washington.
 No movement of greater importance has occurred in the railroad world since the first formation of the Southern sys- tenn. u IS the 11ndl accOInpllSnTe1h UT the policy of concentration to which the Southern has bent its efforts since its or ganizaton. After the 1st or November there will be few more changes of any i'm portance The system has been perfected and completed" 4 -4-..
