circular WIN be forthcoming short
! ly. The Plant system VIII
/ take charge of its presidents new
| purchase, the Florida Southern railroad
on April ], and the Sanford and st. Peters
/ burg railroad has already been brought
| into the system. The Florida Southern
! runs between Palatka and Gainesville
/ Gainesville and Barlow, and practically
| from Barlow to Punta Gorda, Florida.
| These two Lines are to be placed under one
| superintendent, who will probably be Mr..
| w. b. Denham, the present superintend-
| emit of the Florida Southern. There is no
! doubt now that the Florida Southern is
going into the system on the date mem
| toned and i'm fact this has been practi-
| caily stated by officials of the system.
This addition will give Mr.. Plant full con-
troll of the railroad traffic in the southern
part of that state, covering almost the
| entire phophate section of Florida
/ A peculiar thing about the appoint
| ments will be noticed, and that is the fact
| that there are no division superintend-
ents. The appointees are superintendent
/ of lines that are in one sense, separate
from one another in their operations, but
| all forming parts of the same system.
Mr. w. J. Haydow, previous to Septem-
| Der, 1899, was train master of the Louis
| VILE and Nashville railroad at Montgom-
| cry, after which ne was for a short time
| master of transportation of the Alabama
Midland, and then went with the Central
| as division superintendent of the Columbus
and Western railroad. In 1890 he was
made master of transportation of the
| Alabama Midland, which position he has
/ since held He is well known in the rail
road world and is regarded as an able
| railroad man.
Mr.. George w. Haines has been given
vannah, Florida and Western railway
| lines between Sava~nah and Jacksonville,

that was filed by Capt. r. G. Fleming,
but his headquarters have been put at
