Southern Railway Change.

1t has been announced officially that
the general freight department of the
Southern railway, including the offices
of f. A. Mel, general freight agent, and
of Lincoln Green, assistant general
freight agent, and Retrospective clerical
forces. will be transferred from Wash
ington to Atlanta, Ga. The department
will be moved during September, and
will be open for business at Atlanta by
October 1st. Mr.. Green has just re-
turned to Washington from Atlanta,
where he engaged quarters for the freight
department Of the Southern system, and
made all arrangements for the change.
The transfer, Mr. Green explained, was
deemed advisable by the officials OF the
Southern for the reason that Atlanta Is
the most central point Of the freight sys-
TEN. and the location of the freight de-
partment in that city will facilitate great
ly the work Of the office.
The removal of the Offices will affect
several Alexandrians. Among them are
Messrs. Albert Henderson, Henry u.
Waring, Charles NJ. Shepperson, anC
Milton Carlin. Whether or not they
will 90 to Atlanta is not known. Mr.
Henderson, it is understood, has beer
offered a position in the office of the
traffic manager of the Southern, which
will remain in Washington.
