HUNDRED THAT H|X
 MAY HEAD SEABOARD President Meldrum May Then Head Executive Committee JOB WAS TEMPORARY
Present Official Assumed Position After Reorganization for Short Time Only and Permanent Appointment
 Is Looked For

Charles H. Hix, vice president and gen. eral manager of the Seaboard Air Line railroad, is tos be made president of that line in absolute control of the properties and President Meldrum is to be made chairman of the executive committee, ir charge of the finances, according to the gossip that is being carried from city to city by employees of that line and others connected closely with it's work It was stated here that Mir Medrum now president, assumed thes presidency immediately after the reorganization fol temporary period only, so that the work would be started off smoothly It is said to have been tacitly understood at that time that another man would take his place in short time.
 Immediately following the reorganiza- ton MT. Hix was made vice president of the line, in addition to his title of general manager, and c. R. Cappe was placed in as vice president having the traffic work in hand.
 Since that time it is said that no more harmonious organization was ever gotten together on the Seaboard Air Line rail-
 
 of sufficient importance to attract out side attention, and those on the inside state that all the officers are well pleased with their work and the other members of the official family
 When MT. Medrum went in as pres- dent he said very frankly that he knew little of railroad work but would be glad to help them out in a financial way. He was placed at the helm. He immediately txno in, ol,o f,f ft-aa portation operations and tariffc, since which time no trouble has come up. It is said now to be the desire of Mir Mel drum to step out and allow the railroad men to carry on the work. It Is also stated that Blair & Co.,, who have financed the Seaboard Air Line largely, have set tied on MT. Hix to be president.
 In Birmingham there are no officials who are sufficiently versed with the ex- ecutive work to be informed of contem- plated changes and for that matter no confirmation of the gossip could be se- cured here. However, it is expected that there are to be some changes at Ports mouth and they are of wide importance.
 MT. Hix is one of the strongest rail- road men in the south. He has risen from a place as dispatcher to vice president and general manager on this line in less than five years. He is marvellous oper- ating man and the northern territory is wonderfully protected as far as train operations are concerned.
 There are a great many friends of MT. Hixl in Birmingham who would be very much pleased to see him recognized fur ther and placed in complete charge of one of the most important lines entering Bir- mingham.
 He Is expected to make a trip to Bir- mingham in the next few weeks, at which time he may make some announcement about the promotion. However, it is gen. orally believed among the Seaboard Air Line folks that If the changes which are widely talked of in the family occur they will be announced from New York by Blair & Co.,, In less time than severa weeks.

HEAD SOLID MASS or HUMoR

"I think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but t.
did no good. In a few days the head
was solid mass; a running sore. 1t
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Rene
dies. We got a dollar bottle Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and.a bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed.
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura oint.

There is always a yelled meaning.
Woman makes use of letter just
as she employs a glance or q smile,
in a way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And. after
