The last issue of the Railway Age con-
tains picture of President H. b. Plant
of the Plant system, and more than a
works. A bit of the history of the South
ern Express Company, as given in the ar
ticle, will be interesting The auditor
says: THE Adams Express Company,
having already covered the north Nand
west, was anxious to push down into the
southern field. MIR. Plant, who had from
his youth been connected with the express
business in the east was sent down TO
Augusta, Ga, as the headquarters from
which to operate the southern branch of
the new business 1t was but a few
months until the success of his labors
was apparent, and his interest in all man
ner of transportation was such as TO make
him a man to be sought after by those who
were interested in business When the
clash between the states came it threat
ened the wreckage of the business built
up by Mr.. Plant and it was at this point
that, with rare frankness, he made his
way to President Jefferson Davis To him
he told the story of his struggling venture
of the interests involved, of the necessity
of the business of which he was the head
to the people of the south, and while bold
ly declaring that he in no manner approx
ed of the political movement which sought
to rend the states, yet he sympathized
with the people, and 1t was his desire to
remain and conduct the business ventures
of which he was the head, without preju-
dice to political or military movements
President Davis admired the frankness of
the man, and gave him a pass which en-
titled him to move hither and thither at
will, through army headquarters or where
ever else he pleased. 1t is but seldom that
any man can carry such a mark of per-
sonal confidence, but the integrity of Mr.
Plant fully justified the trust President
Davis placed in him.
