And notwithstanding the glad uhine and the rippling streams melody that poured from the ful throats of joyous birds that ined each twig with a wreath mg, a dark cloud of sadness ed o'er the sunlight, and left iuos of melancholy.for death a Sunday morning passed over the Iom, and under its shadow, the soul of E.

The Board of Dlrtctora of Southern Railway Company having assembled In apeclal meeting thla firat day of De cember, 1913, and being advlaed of the death, at hla home In Waahlngton on November 25, 1913, of William Wilson Flnley, for the past aeven yeara President of Southern Railway Company, adopta the following minute to be apread on the records of the Company and to be published In the newapapers of the South. WILLIAM WILSON FINLEY was born at Pass Christian, Mississippi, on September 2, 1868, and en tered railway service in New Orleans in 1878. During the succeeding twenty-two years he had a varied expe rience, earning steady promotion and a growing repu tation, in the traffic departments of several railroads and In charge of traffic associations, in the west and southwest. In 1893, soon after the organisation of Southern Railway Company, he began, as Third Vice President in charge of traffic, his service for this Com pany in which, with an interval of a few months in 1896, he continued until his death eighteen years later. He became President of this Company in December, 1906, at a moment when the work of gathering in and welding together its lines into a consolidated system had been 'done. The map had been made. There are no more miles of railroad included in the system today than there were when he became President His task was, therefore, complementary to the work already done and the history of the development of the property during the past seven years is the history of how he conceived and accomplished that task of conservation and progressive development During his administra tion the revehues of the Company increased 20.95 per cent (comparing 1918 with 1907), but what is even more his achievement, the balance of income available for dividend (but largely put back Into the property) increased 209.07 tt cent This record of material success is in nmall meas ure the result of Mr. Flnleys policy and practice of bniiding and strengthening a working organisation of the Company so far as concerns personnel. He inaug urated and steadfastly enforced a rule of promotion to fill vacancies within the organization, by recognition of demonstrated merit, with the result that he secured and conserved that loyal Identification with the inter est of the South and of the Company, and that sense of personal responsibility In all ranks of the service, which is one of the most valuable assets the Company has today. On the public side ef his responsibility Mr. Flnley developed largely during the past seven years. Con vinced ef the duty ef accepting the changed conditions In respect of the administration of industry incident to the governmental policy of regulation of the rail ways by public authority, he was nevertheless keenly Im pressed with . the apparent lack of -understanding en the part of the public ef the problems of railway man agement. He, therefore, devoted much ef his time te the discussion of such questions before representative audiences In all parts of the country, but chiefly hi the South, and the effect open publis opinion of Ms frank, straightforward and manly utterances and pa tiently iterated doctrine has been long recognised, but was remarkably demonstrated by the expressions which have been received since his death from public bodies throughout the South. He did much in this way to correct a sentiment from which all railway property has suffered In recent years a sentiment which has found its expression in an erroneous belief, that a rail way takes from the public, more than it gives, and his effort in word and deed was to restore a just balance of understanding of the economic necessity, to every citizen in his daily life, of a well maintained, honestly administered and prosperous transportation system. In other ways also he gave expression to a broad view of the indentity of Interest between the welfare of the railways and that of the public. He lent active co-operation to the chief educational, Industrial and commercial interests of the South, and a moral support to every movement which is making for the welfare of the South, but perhaps Ms greatest service of this na ture was his successful campaign for the promotion of better agriculture. Gently born and gently bred. It was Mr. Finley's fortune to be thrown upon his own resources at an early age and without the advantages of a university training and experience usually enjoyed by his asso ciates i It was, therefore, a peculiar satisfaction to him and to his friends that In 1910 he received, with the assurance that it was so mere decoration, a degree of Doctor ef Laws from Tulane University at New Or leans, the principal seat of learning in the community where he had spent bis youth. On the personal side, Mr. Flnley was essentially a gentleman: be demonstrated on many occasions the combination In his character of those qualities which may be expressed by the words modesty and courage. He was fair and just in all his dealings, courteous to all men, slow to anger, but fierce In his resentment of injustice in others. Partisan in his love for and belief in the South and its future and in the Southern Rail way as an important factor in that community, he con vinced his associates that he never allowed partisan feeling to colour his judgment to such an extent that he could not always see the other sidei but a policy once ' determined be set about its accomplishment with a characteristic belief in the potency of persistence and sa unhesitating use ef all the power at his command. He had at all times the confidence, the respect and the good will of this Board and of every member of it, and la his death the Board and every member of It feels the leas sf a friend ef charming personal qualities as well as sa eSdal associate sf commanding ability. Tee secretary la directed te express te the aurvfvlng members ef Mr. Flnley family the respectful ympattiy ef this Seara and to transmit te them a suitably en- -grasses' and attested transcript ef this minute.
