Resignation Followed by Promo
ton Of Employees Of Southern
Railway in Mississippi

Mr.. Harry Simmons, who for
several years past has been
trainmaster of the Southern Rail.
way in Mississippi, with head
quarters in this city, has tender
ed his resignation, and has been
succeeded by Mr.. N. s. Brooks,
formerly local freight agent for
the company.
The promotion of Mr.. Brooks
to the position of trainmaster
necessitates several changes in
the local freight Office. MIR. K.
j. Haggerty. who was formerly
chief clerk. has been made agent
and Mr.. j. N. Greer, formerly
cashier. has been promoted to
the position of chief clerk. 1t
has not yet been decided who
will succeed Mr.. Greer as cashier.
The fact that local men were
promoted to all the positions
made vacant by the resignation
of Mr.. Simmons shows that the
force is most efficient one and
the company appreciates faithful
service on the part of its EN-
ployes.

its own committee and reversing
its action of March /. 1911. the

tor from Illinois by a vote of 55
to 28.
The closing moments of the
trial were intensely dramatic.

ing a last defense of his seat, de-
clared that he did not appeal fol
the vote of any senator. but sim
ply ask for justice.
