J,. ;.twcll, who has Loi-n superhiti-ndent of tlie Moorosville 'di vision of the Southern Railway, will formally take vhargo of t',- Kock lll'l diviiiion. For a number or years this line has been lucky In 'having good superintendents, but this man, Newell, is an Innovation in railroad circles. He Is an, original fellow, is different In every particular and has cen.iucted his operations oh an entlre lyvlifferent line from that of the old style railway superintendent. , The' life of . a raUroad, of its em ployes, its patrons and its stockhold ers centres more In the division sup erintendents than in any other "offi cials connected therewith. On them falls the brunt and to , them, Is giv en the task of enforcing the regula tions and red tape. Time was when they could Bit up In their offices or drag around on the rearn their, spe cial and manage . to draw their pay, but Jn this day of rustling railroad ing it takes the eye of the master, the hand of the master and. the brain and brawn of the master to rec oncile the three' great conflicting factions, namely, ' the stockholders clamoring for dividends, the ' opera Uvea clamoring , for ' Increase In sal ary and the ever-restive public clam oring foil cheaper rates. That s w.iat this man Newell wfourifl h:mseif.; up against when the new division was made and he put in charge to create prder out of chaos.., -1 .' . ... unuer tne old regime tne train op eratives were wont to squlnft one eye ana jera. tneir mumDS oacawara ov r their left shoulder in- a suggest ive . manner, which was saying to the operatives along the line "Look to your . Ps - and Qs. , The old man is hitched on the rear." ' Newell broke this up, : Fact . is you never knew when or where to expect him. Instead of .being hitched on the rear and des ignated as the old man, you a una hjm on the engine. In Kit ab, in the baggage car, la a box car, in tne round house, ' freight sheds, stations, anywhere, everywhere, always, al ways with those eyes wide open look ing to his own Ps and Qs and to those of the company,' stopping a leak here, smoothing over a rough place there, righting a wrong and creating stronger fellow feeling between those a special heavy movement of pas sengers? .Tou'd find him there In per son. Would freight rget "balled up and' congested ' at the important sta tlons? There , he'd . be and. with his consummate . SKiii aisentangie ' tne threads and start things rolling. He had a personality and originality all his own. : - He laugned at precedent dui maae a preceoem oi nis own., 'lis strange now, this man could crawl up into an engine with all Its smut and grime-and emerge i therefrom 100 miles away as natty and 4s bath-tubby as when he entered. I have ' seen this man walk around .. a , station, glance casually at the grounds, turn page in the cash book, notice t.ie fire equipment, - Inquire - about r the posting of the tariffs, investigate the demand and supply of cars; and when 'he'd leave he'd know, just where to hit to make an improvement. . Td- sue the railroad company. said a certain large shipper, "if weren't on Mr. Newell's line. He is a good friend of mine and I don't want to lose his friendship' Ye he gets out in the thick of the fight and where there's ' trouble a - brewing he talks to that trouble face to race and the consequence Is that the . face . to face talk is so much more beneficial than the formal letters from the sup erintendent's office tham he has saved thousands of dollars' worth of fool ish litigation and has turned much of the tide of public sentiment into a different channel. The last tnove was a promotion. His men over here presented htm with an elegant, sliver service as a slight token of esteem. Keep. your eye on this man who wears Kensington cloth like a lord and Tides in an engine, He 11 make some rail road history and. pull things his way one of these days, out of these trou blesome times. . , ,? . v.
