SAY CHANGE MAY BE BENEFICIAL

Down In Savannah they are still
'protesting" and chewing the rag over
the removal of the headquarters of the
Fifth division of the Seaboard from
that city, whittier it was spirited one
dark night, back to Americas, where il
was originally established.
How the general offices were spirited
away from Americas and set up in
Savannah by the Georgia and Alabama
officials, before that road was absorbed
by the Seaboard System, is recalled by
many citizens.
Americas is only getting back por-
ton of that which is rightfully hers,
but is thankful for this much in the
return of the superintendent office
and that of trainmaster.
OF the feeling there regarding the
removal ofthe officers the Savannah
Press has the following to say:
1.-The board of directors of the Board
of Trade will have meeting tomor-
row, at which time it is expected that
they will protest against the action o.
the Seaboard Air Line railway in re-
moving the office of the superintendent
of the Fifth division, as proposed.
Savannah is the most important
port reached by the Seaboard, and its
tonnage is greater from here than from
any other city on its lines, and 1 see nc
good reason why the office of superin-
tendent should be removed said w.
B. Stillwell, president of the Board OF
Trade,
What Savannah needs and demands
is the best service possible. A termi-

"Of course am sorry for Savannah
to losethe Uffice of superintendent and
the salary roll of a thousand dollars a
month paid in the office, but with a
competent man IN charge here as sup

ought to be improved"
Other members of the Cotton Elk
