Some predicted a year ago when Mr. Hlx became presi dent that he would sever hia connec ttoa'wtth the Norfolk Southern at the ead -of ate-drat year, unless method! In keeping with his career and that of other successful Souther mana rvra were followed. - .As 4o n possible or probable suc cessor there is a rumor that a Mr. Toung, formerly an official of on of the great Western railroad systems, la being considered, and that If he Is selected Western methods will be put Into effect on the' system, provided H la kept intact.

Mr. Hlx begsn his career as a check rlerk In the Saltvtll. Vs.. station on the Norfolk and Western. There he learned telegraphy. From Saltvllle he went to Buford aa agent for the Norfolk Western. From agent he was soon promoted to dispatcher and from dispatcher to chief dispatcher, hie fidelity to his duties and hia adap tability to the railroad work being the causes of hia rapid promotion, letter ho became yard master for the Norfolk and - Weal era at Roanoks, soon winning a promotion f'o the po sition of train master. His connection with tne Seaboard commenced In 1100. coming tu that system as a train master. One year later, la ItOl, he came to italelgh a division superintendent and spent a year or more. la -4 Mi he became seneral suuerlntendent of the Sea board with, headquarters at Ports mouth.

When elected to the presidency of the Norfolk Southern. Mr. Hix waa warmly praised in an interview given out by Mr. John Skelton Williams, of Richmond, now Comptroller of the Currency. Mr. Williams was at on tlms president of -the Seaboard Air Ltne and for many years- a member of Its board of directors, and had ample opportunity to observe th work of Mr. Hlx aa a railroad man He said of Mr. Hlx; "In securing the services of Charles H.

It was also largely du to Mr. Hlx a ability, skill and thorough knowledge of the Ses board system, and of the territory through which It operates, that tne receiver of tbla property, in log and, 1101, were able to lift ths road out of the condition of ruin and demoralisation Into which It had drifted under th management of men who had been Imported Into the property from the outside, and place It on a sound and paving basis. "Recognising th exceedingly valu able services which Mr. Hix had ren dered to the system at the time of th selection of ths Seaboard presi dent a few weeks ago, there was a strong desire on the part of the Sou thern director or the Seaboard sys tem especially, that Mr. Hlx should be elected to the presidency, and 1 urged this view-with my asaoclstes, but ths nominating committee select ed a Mr. Meldrum's successor en the Sesboard the vice-president of the Krle Railroad, who however excel' lent his qualifications t as a Yallrnad man. must necessarily tana some time to acquaint himself with the Sea board property and Its territory."
