From the depths of the darkness of

to conquer and govern the physical

Almighty master mind, all things
were made for his study and use.

creation he has turned the search

mankind was born.
He has reached out into the temp

bade it carry his message to the re :
motest ends of the earth He touches
button and the lightness of day
iliuminates the darkest night.
He has braved the storms of oceans
and serenely rides the crest of the
highest wave in vessel Of his handi
work. He has built his path through
the unknown wilderness; lad down
his rails and hauls his product to the
marts of commerce. He builds his
aeroplane and like the flight of
meteor, sails the vaulted skies above.
He has conquered the dreary waste of
desert and brings forth verdure

Wood C. Campbell of Phenix City, Ala,

in civil case tried in Muscogee super

claimed that Campbell owed him $1O61

Campbell would not settle with him
when the partnership dissolved. There
was no defense to the case and judg-
ment was given Hartnett by default. At
the time of the recent tragedy Camp
bell was popularity supposed to be
worth some $4,000 or more. The ex-

heavy. however, Is he was defended

BONNYMAN MADE
GENERAL MANAGER
Chief Engineer Is Promoted BY
A. B, & 4.
ROAD TO USE |. & N. DEPOT
viii Probably Use L. & N. Tracks
From About Twelfth Street, Where
New Freight Terminals
Will Be Located.

An official circular received in Birming-
ham yesterday morning announced the
fact that Alex Bonnyman, chief engineer
in charge of the construction Of the At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail-
road, will, February 10, become general
manager of the road.
Mr.. Bonnyman is well known in Bir-
mingham, having visited this city on an
average of once a month for the last
several years. He is a brother of James
Bonnyman, who is treasurer and general
manager of the Birmingham Coal and
Iron company. Harry NJ. Atkinson, pres
ident of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railroad, is also president of the
Birmingham Coal and Iron company.
When Alex Bonnyman assumes the po-
sition of general manager of the At
lanta Birmingham and Atlantic Mr.. At
kinson will resign the duties of that Of
fee, which he has discharged with those
of the presidency. since the resignation
of George Dole Wadley several months
ago.
Mr. Bonnyman is familiar with every
mile of track between Brunswick, Ga
and Birmingham, having originally made
the trip on horseback. He afterwards
covered the same ground when the sur
vey was made.
The announcement of the promotion
will be learned with delight in Brmng-
ham, where Mr.. Bonnyman is connected
and where he is we'll known.
Accompanying the announcement Of the
appointment of Mr.. Bonnyman to the
position of general manager was another
calling attention to an agreement be-
tween the Louisville and Nashville and
the Atlanta Birmingham and Atlantic
whereby the latter road will enter the
Louisville and Nashville terminals in
Birmingham.
1t is thought that this agreement is
temporary, however for the general i'm
preston has been that the road would
enter the new Terminal station. 1t is
thought that the road, according to this
agreement will enter the station over
the tracks of the Louisville and Nash
vile from about Twelfth street. where
it is presumed the freight terminals of
the road will be established. The station
will be still known as the Louisville
and Nashville station, it being the UNI
Outstanding that the Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic will begin the opera
ton of passenger trains into Birmingham
by July l of this year. The road is
already running passenger trains as far
as Talladega direct from Brunswick.
Passenger trains are also being oper-
ated into Atlanta. The road will run
into Birmingham by the way of Besse-
mer, which city granted the franchise pc
titioned for yesterday. 1t is understood
that the line will penetrate the present
West End baseball park.
So far, the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic has not established freight or
passenger offices in Birmingham, but it
is expected that this will be done in
the Immediate future.
