The directors of the louisville &
Nashville railroad at their meeting
last week in New York elected the
following officers: Chairman, Aug
ust Belmont; President, Milton H.
Smith; First Vice President, Walker
d. Hines; Second Vice President,
Samuel H. Edgar; Third Vice Presi-
dent, William j. Dickinson; Secre-
tary, Joseph H. Ellis; Treasurer, w.
w. Thompson.
The officers were all reelected
with the exception of the First Vice
President and Third Vice President.
The latter is a newly created office,
and Mr.. Dickinson, who fills it, was
Controller of the road. The election
of Walker ID. Hines to succeed the
late A. w. Graham, is another indi-
cation of what Kentuckians are
worth in the railway world. Mr..
Hines was born in Russelville, KY,
thirty-one years ago, and at the age
of twenty-eight was made assistant
chief attorney of the Louisville &
Nashville. He received his educa-
ton at Ogden College, Bowling
Green, and after graduation became
a court stenographer, afterward be-
coming secretary to Judge H. w.
Bruce, then assistant chief attorney
for the l.. Il N. railroad. His record
is remarkable one. Mr.. Hines is
considered a valuable man in rail-
road circles, and has abilities which
are commended by prominent off,
cials wherever known. His duties,
1t is said, will consist largely in
handling questions of interstate and
state commerce.
In his speech on railroad day at
the Buffalo Exposition, Senator De-

has been illustrated in a very
marked way in the recent history of
the Louisville & Nashville railroad.
Further, Mr.. Depew said: "Among
the millien of railroad men who are
voters. there are no Socialists, and,
thank God, no anarchists Louis
