HAGEN WILL HAVE CHANGES
Some of the Alleged Causes of McCarty's
 Changes-A Pretty Typewriter the Proverbial Cause of Trouble.

The aatlroads. with feeders from the l northwest. expect a larger amoun5 of business i'm the immigration line this | fall than ever before. notwithstanding the hacu that fever prevails i'm the cx- treme southern portion of this state.
 Captt. P. SEd Jones, in charge Of the 1 immigration dspartmena of the Louisville 1 and Na shvflle, has returned from Nash l vilae, where he has been during the past week. In conversation with an Age
 Herald reporter he stated that he had a
 number of 1dluers recently from pnospec- l tive Immigrants. and that lthe indications l were favorable towards an enormous
 movement south. Some of his ccrre- l spondents stated thals they were coming 1 sotith as soon as the yellow fever scare
 subsided. He 1las locatsd recently col
 tp1y In Baldwin county, and only a few days ago some of those who had pur- 1 chased Land came through hern for theiir 1 new loca tion. He said also tdhat tiler,
 was a big deal on foot to locate allotlIar
 colony near the ore in Baldwin county. l John M. Eagan, the new president of 1 the Central of Georgia, will show his l hand in local change on the Central 1 railway about Oct. 15 for private nfor- l nation has been received in the city l that the present connection with the 1 Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham | as far as freight depot and yards are 1 concerned, will be severed. At present | the Central uses the Kansas City, Mem l phis and Birmingham freight house and l yards for terminal use. On Oct 15 the l freight office will be transferred to the l Southern and the yards at Woodlawu l of the latter road will be used. The | present traffic arrangement, as far as l an interchange is concerned, will, it is l understood, remain unchanged.
 l There was a recent "scrap" over the hauling of the "1492" company out of l Birmingham. When the agent was 1 ahead of his show he made verbal ar ! engagements with the Alabama Great l Southern to handle them from here to l New Orleans. They were quarantined | two days in Georgia and forced to play I here last night instead of Thursday | night. They open In New Orleans to- l night and were compelled to arrive in | New Orleans by 12 o'clock today. The manager telegraphed to Superintendent l Wiekersham to know if he would hold | No 1 which leaves here at 12:3O until 1:30 a. m. In the meantime R. F. Beas- 1 ley went to work with his telegraph frank and made contract to furnish | them special train which left here at l 1:30 this morning. Yesterday morning 1 Passenger Agent Biflheimer, he having l finally arranged to hold his train, was l apprsed. of the fact that they were going over the Louisville and Nashville.
 Thene are about twenty-five passenger agents of various lines in Nashville after l business which will be caused by the 1 clc,sing of the Centennial. There will be l a big fight on hand for this business an1 I something in the shape of rate cutting I is on the calendar.
 There was somewhat of a sensation l crated here among weId-informed passer- | ger men when o. P. McCarty was made l general passenger agent of the Ba1ti- l more and Ohio Southwestern to succeed J. N. Chesbrough. MT. McCarty was as- sistamt general passenger agent of the l Southern Pacific with headquarters in l New Orleans. The story that is being circulated is to the effect that the South | ern Pacific wanted to unload McCarty and not have the painful necessity of flr- | ing him. Consequently when the Balti- l more & Ohio Southwestern opening made l it's appearance, it is said he was pushed into MT. Chesbrough's shoss. Anyway ] he got the general passenger agency of 1 the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern. | One part of the cause. so the story goes. | was on account of a pretty little type writer which dae employed in his private office and padd magnificent salary.
