and those south of Charleston will
constitute the Second Division.
All communications relating to
freight traffic of the First division will
be addressed to the general freight
agent at Wilmington. All communica-
tons relating to freight traffic of the
Second division will be addressed to the
general freight agent at Savannah.
Passenger Headquarters Go.
All communications relating to pas
senger traffic will be addressed to the
general passenger agent at Whining
ton, which means that there will be no
passenger headquarters for the Second
division at Savannah, as will be the
case with the freight department. Mr..
James Menzies, the present general
freight agent of the Plant System, will
be general freight agent of the Second
division, and his Office will be here.
All communications relating to
freight claims, loss and damage, over
charge, etc, will be addressed to the
freight claim agent at Wilmington, ex-
cept that, until July Is, all communica-
tons upon these matters will be adj
dressed to the general freight agent at
Savannah. This means the removal of
an important department from Savan-
nah, that of Freight Claim
Agent Wilbur Mccoy. In this
department there are sixteen or
eighteen employees, most of whom will
lose their positions. The circulars
make no provision for their retention
nor for that of Mr.. Mccoy.
All rates and divisions, both freight
and passenger, will continue in force
until superseded or changed by
proper authority.
Mr.. Craie's appointment.
Much disappointment was caused by
the announcement that there will be
no general passenger agent at Savan-
nah. 1t was expected that one for
this division would be located here.
Instead, passenger agent is appoint
ed for the entire system. Mr. j. w.
Craig, at present general freight and
passenger agent of the Charleston and
Western Carolina, division of the
Coast Line. A forecast of Mr. Craig's
appointment was first made by the
Morning News, which stated that Col
b. w. Wrenn, passenger traffic mana
ger of the Plant System, would not
continue in the service.
Mr.. Craig's headquarters will be in
Wilmington. 1t is expected that he
will soon visit Savannah, when he will
decide upon the passenger organiza-
ton of the Second division, now the
Plant System. There will be much for
his consideration in this. 1t is quite
possible that Mr.. w. H. Leahy who
has long served efficiently as chief
clerk in the passenger department of
the Plant System, will be NAMED as as
sistant general passenger agent, to
maintain headquarters at Savannah. In
any event, II a passenger Office Is kept
al Savannah. Mr.. Leahy will doubtless
be in charge of IL. II would be a die
appointment TO his friends and the
well-wishers Of the Coast Line II such
should not be the case. II IS claimed
too. that 50 great a division as the
present Plant System will re-
quire separate passenger Official.
