Vacant by JOhnsOn's Promotion,
Soon to he Made.
Mr.. T. S. Noise was yesterday ap-
pointed general superintendent of the
Central of Georgia Railway, and Mr..
]. 7. Johnson was appointed superin-
tendent of transportation. The ap-
pointments We're made by Mai. J. F.

Maj. Hanson reached the city in the

law departments have been notified to
report to the general superintendent

time that the late Capt. T. D. Kline
was made general manager, and other
offices were created, that of general
SUPERINTENDENT of transportation,
which until yesterday was held by
Mr. Noise and assistant to the gen
eral manager, which was filled by Mr..
f. S. Jette.
Offices Revived.
Upon the death of the general
manager the Office of assistant lapsed
and now that of general superinten-
dent of transportation is abolished in
the revival of the old offices of
general superintendent and superin-
tendent of transportation. Despite the
fact that the office that has been
held by Mr.. Jette has been abolished
that gentleman will be taken care of
by the management and will remain
in Savannah.
Mr.. Noise has been connected with
the Central road for some eighteen
years. He came to Savannah some
five years ago as superintendent of
the First division, having been trans
ferred from a similar position on the
Fourth division, with headquarters at
Columbus. He remained division SUI
perintendent until some two months
ago, when in the various changes that
followed the resignation of Mr.. John
M. Egan as president, he was made
general superintendent of transporta-
ton. Mr.. Noise is a thorough rail-
road man, is familiar with every di-
vision on the Central, and his friends
are satisfied that he will conduct the
affairs of the new office with the same
success that he has displayed in his
former positions.
Follows Noise.
Mr.. ]. 7. Johnson, in his railroad
experience, has almost followed in the
footsteps of Mr.. Noise, in that he was
superintendent of the Fourth division,
then of the First division, of which he
took charge a month or two ago, and
is now in a position very similar,
though of lesser importance. to that
formerly held by Mr.. Noise.
This now leaves the place of superin-
tendent of the First division open. 1t
will be filled shortly, and by the trans
fer of the superintendent of some other
division. Formerly such transfers have
been made from the Fourth division,
but it is hardly probable that such
precedence will be followed in this case,
because of the fact that the superin-
tendent of the Fourth division has but
recently been placed in that position.
