While no official announcement has been received in Birmingham, it is con sidered certain that the Chattanooga and Mooresville (N. CD divisions of the Southern railroad are abolished today October l.
 These two divisions were established considered the second step in the policy of retrenchment which it is understood the Southern has adopted.
 The Chattanooga division is merged into the Knoxville and Atlanta divs- ion, and the Mooresville division is merged into the Winston Salem divis- ion. H. P. Pelter. superintendent of the Chattanooga division, is transferred to the Nashville division, succeeding c. c. Hodges, who will be transferred to some other point, not yet decided upon. F. M. Newell of the Mooresville divis- ion, Is transferred to the Rockhill division, succeeding w. W. Duell. MT. Duell goes to Atlanta, where he will be the new superintendent of termi- nals. The Chattanooga office force will be transferred to Atlanta and Knox vile.
 General Superintendent Fl. F. Hutch ems of the western division, whose headquarters are in Birmingham, is at present absent from the city, this fact accounting for the unofficial form of the announcements contained above. According to the information here, the western district, that presided over by Superintendent Hutchens, will be ex- tended so as to embrace the line from Atlanta to Knoxville. MT. Hutchens is expected to return to Birmingham today, when positive information in this connection can be obtained
 Other changes are predicted by Southern officials in Birmingham, and something of general "shake-up" is anticipated.
 As is rememb bered. MT. Hutchens' ap- pointment as general superintendent of the western division, with local head quarters, was made September 1. MT. Mutchens will bring his family to Bir-
