HERALD WANTS MR. EGAN.
Augusta Paper Believes He should
he the CentrnI's President.

BE the CentraI's President
The Augusta Herald wants Vice Presi-
dent John M. Egan of the Central to be
the next president of the road The Her
aid, as do a great many others, believes
Mr.. Egan to be good Georgian by adop-
ton, and he has certainly shown himself
keenly alive to the interests of the state,
and, therefore, as greatly entitled to the
honor as anyone else. The demand that
the next president be Georgian, the Her
aid thinks, will be acceded to if the direc-
tors decide upon MIR. Egan. Following is
what the paper has to say editorially on
the question:
Under his active and energetic man.
agement the company's affairs have pros
pered as never before. In addition to the
actual physical management of the prop
erty Mr.. Egan has made the Central one
OF the most popular roads in the state and
has shown the greatest interest in the
farming and manufacturing interests that
are building up Georgia
THE stockholders and directors will
make no mistake in continuing in the Of
nee of president Mr.. Egan, who has prac-
ically been president of the road during
all of Mr.. Corners long illness.
unfortunately under the voting trust
and syndicate that controls most of the
Southern Railways the reelection of the
CentraPs president will be left to interests
outside of Georgia rather than to the
people who constitute the CentraPs pa
irons in Georgia There is no doubt but
that the people of Georgia would like to
see Mr.. Egan the Centrars new presi-
dent
