dent of the Southern Railway company
to succeed the late William Wilson Fin
ley, a special meeting of the board of
directors being held for the purpose of
filling the vacancy caused by Mr., Fin
ley's death. Mr.. Harrison is Virginian,
his home being at Belvoir, Va. He is
peculiarly identified with the south, as
his father was private secretary to JEFF

perience has been wthathe Southern and

to the president and In 1905 became vice
president. which position he held until
1910, when he resigned on being elected
president of the Chicago, Indianapolis
and Louisville. He. however, continued
as director Of the Southern railway, so
that his service with the parent company
has been uninterrupted.

'Mr. Harrison was one of Mr. Finleys
closest and most trusted advisers, and Is
thoroughly In sympathy with the policies
which made Mr.. Finley's administration
so successful both for the Southern Rail
way company and the territory served by
it's lines. Though Mr.. Harrison entered
the service of the Southern In the legal
department. his experience has not been
confined to that branch Of the service
He has given much study to financial
traffic and operating problems, and is in
timately acquainted with conditions Of
the Southern railway and throughout the
section which 1t traverses. AS president
of the Chicago. Indianapolis and Louis
Vile railway, he was actively In charge
of the operation of the railway, so that
he comes to the Southern railway pra-
pared by practical experience as well as
the most detailed knowledge of the de-
tails of its affairs to take up the duties
of chief executive.
Mr. Harrison today was also elected
president of the Alabama Great Southern
