Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. One day John
NJ Garrett, president Of the road. ant party
Of friends were on Davis train, making an in
spection Of what is known as the second divi-
sion' that is. from Martinsburg to Cumber-
land. Garrett asked the conductor some ques-
tions about the Villages and the country througli
which the train passed. The answers surprised
the great railroad man. Davis not only told all
about the villages, but also made suggestions as
to how the traffic OF the road could be in
creased by reaching into the timber and mining
lands near. and how expenses could be cut down
by changes in the freight schedules. lie grew
eloquent on the subject and showed that he had
given 1t thorough study
Finally Garrett said: is there anything you
done know about the road and the country
through which it passes?"
7 don't think there IS" Davis modestly
replied Garrett laughed, but week later
Davis got his first promotion. and within
few years he was an officer Of the road His
knowledge Of West Virgfnia's resources made
him a millionaire late--success
