 MT. Warfield did not grant a formal interview yesterday. although there is much interest in his coming. He states that he is simply inspecting the prop erty.
 In view of the recent inspection of John Slkelton Williams. and of the more recent reports that there is a quiet though determined effort on the l part of F. II. Hartman to acquire the road, the Seaboard is at the present moment in the limelight.

 D. F. Mcdonald, immediately after his departure, moved up from the posi- ton of commercial agent to that of division freight agent, and B. R. Starnes. formerly travelling freight agent, became commercial agent.
 Before his departure to Chicago Mir. Lacoste was presented with a magnifi- cent cut glass bowl by the employees of the passenger and freight depart ments of the Frisco here. He was one of the most popular railroad men in Birmingham, and there was regret at his departure.
 The handsome general waiting room of the new Terminal station was opened yesterday. and the splendid station is now occupied in it's entirety.
 As was stated some time ago, there was no formal presentation to the pub lie of the big building, but 1t is now in general use. Within very short time, the building will be completed. The work remaining to be done is chiefly in the way of finishing touches"
