SOUTHERN ID USE
 PHONE SYSTEM Telephone Will Displace Tele-
 graph Instrument A TEST LINE INSTALLED TeIephone Service Is Quicker Than Telegraph and Anyone Can Send or Receive Message Which
 Is Important
A TEST LINE INSTALLED

Atlanta, March 13.-(Special)- )-The tele-
 phone is to take the place of the telegraph
 on one of the most important sections of
 the line of the Southern railway between
 Washington and Atlanta according to an- nouncement made by the company Satur-
 day On the 123 miles between Monroe, Va, and Greensboro, N. C., the company fig preparing to put into operation sys- | tenn of dispatching trains by telephone.
 Two complete metallic circuits are being installed, one for train orders and one
 for messages, with instruments at each
 station on the line The installation of these circuits is nearly complete, and the
 service will be put into operation within
 the next few weeks. 1t is expected that
 the substitution of the telephone for
 the telegraph in the work of moving trains will ultimately be extended over other parts of the Southern railway sys- | tenn.
 | That part of the line on which the tele- | phone is being installed will when work
 under construction is completed have 54
 miles of double track. The traffic over 1t is very heavy, and an excellent oppor-
 tunity will be afforded for the demon-
 stration of the merits of the new sys- tenn.
 In substituting the telephone for the old telegraph system of train orders the Southern railway is following its policy of bringing it's lines to the highest pos sible state of efficiency. The telephone system has several advantages over the tata1raph The seryice is uuicker in ODer- ation and errors can be better guarded against.
 The dispatcher writes the order as he sends it, spelling out all figures such as train numbers, engine numbers and time. The receiver writes the message as he re- ceiyes it, and then repeats 1t to the dis patcher, spelling out all figures in the same way The service Is not only quick CT and more accurate than the telegraph, but it also brings the sender and receiver Into closer personal touch. As the use of the telephone does not require any ex- perience. the dispatcher, when occasion requires, can talk personally to the con- ductor or engineer of any train on his d. vision.
 Telephone instruments can be installed at switches and sidings, where it would be iinpracticable to maintain telegraph of- fees and operators. and the crow of a train using the switch or siding can com municate with the train dispatcher. mo- tifying him when they have cleared the main line and asking for orders when they are ready to leave the switch or sid- ing.
 This improvement, like all others on the main stem of the Southern, means bene- | fit not only for the territory immediately | touched but better service for every city and town on ths lines of the system.
