HARDWICK PROMOTED
HE SUCCEEDS THE LATE W. A:
 TURK.
Former Montgomerian Called to Head of Passenger Department of of the Great Southern
 Railway System.

Montgomery Is peculiarly interested in the promotion which has come to Mir. Samuel H. Hardwick, who has just been appointed Passenger Traffic Manager of the Southern Railway to succeed the late MT. W. A Turk.
 A large number of Montgomeriars will never cease to regard Mir. Hardwick other than as a citizen of Montgomery This was his home many years He was born and reared In Montgomery. He was. educatel here and began his career as a railroad man here. Success first came to him in Montgomery and when he was called away to higher positions he continued to regard Montgomery as his home Indeed, Mir. Hardwick still votes in Montgomery and Is a member of St. Johns Episcopal Church.
 His record as a railroad official has been one continuous round of successes until he fps reached the highest ofice in his chosen department of one of the greatest railroad companies of the Uni- ted States.
 At one time Mir. Hardwick was con- nected with a great railroad system in Texas going there with the late Colonel Gabriel Jordan. For a great many years he has been an offic.al of the Southern Railway. He was a Travelling Passen- ger Agent then he was promoted to be Assistant General Passenger Agent with headquarters in Atlanta.
 Some time ago MT. Hardwick was an- pointed General Passenger Agent of the great system and his headquarters was removed to Washington. Now he is call ed to a still higher position-the head of the passenger department of a companv operating thousands of miles of tracks.
 All of these promotions have come to Mir. Harwick through sheer merit and ability. He not only possesses superior ability and energy with which to pro- mote the interest of his company but he Is a man of lovable personality to whom his friends are loyal in their devotion.
 MT. Hardwick is a brother of Mrs. c l.. Ruth of Montgomery. He has other relatives in Montgomery and Alabama and a wide circle of friends throughout the country.
 Mir. ". A. Tayloe, who has been ap. pointed to succeed MT. Hardwick as Gen eral Passenger Agent, succeeded him in Atlanta as Assistant General Passenger Agent when he was removed to Wash. inEton.
 Mir. Tayloe will be succeeded as Assist. ant General Passenger Agent In Atlanta by Mir. Brooks Morgan.

An Efephant Problem.


When All Chung, a Chinaman, died
It was found that he had left prop
erty by will to his three SONS, as fol-
lows: One-half to the eldest, one-thirl
to the next, and one-ninth to the
youngest son. When the property
was inyentoried it was found to con-
sist Of seventeen elephants. Here
was a dilemma, for it was impossible
to divide the property according to
the terms of the will without chop
ping up the seventeenth elephant. FL
nally the heirs applied to a wise law
yer, Sam Punk, for advice, which they
promised to act upon. Sam Punk had
an elephant OF his own. He drove it
into the yard with the seventeen, and
said:
T. NOW, we will suppose that your
father left these eighteen elephants.
Fun Hum, take your half and de-
part" .--..
So Fum Hum took nine elephants
and went his way.
Now, Nu Pin said the wise man,
stake your third and depart also.".
So M Pin took six elephants and
went. .-....
Nov, Ding Bat" said the wise
man, "take your ninth and begone."
So Ding Bat took two elephants and
disappeared.
Then the lawyer took his own ele-
phant and went home again, feeling
very veil satisfied with himself.-Cas'

That any policeman can sleep after
