John A. Dodson, superintendent of
the Ulchmond & Danville, was to be
transferred from Colombia to an
other point, yesterday was the day
for the transfer to be made. The
State nays: "Yesterday when It was
seen that Mr. Oabbett did not arrive
In Columbia it was ascertained that
be was not coming. It was pretty
well understood by the railroad au
thorities in a position to known that
Superintendent Dodson would not
leave Columbia for the present, but
would remain in the same position
here. After diligent inquiry it was
positively ascertained that Superin
tendent Dodson, had received orders
to hold over.
Superintendent Dodson himself
was approached on the snblect and
stated that he bad no desire to leave
Columbia and was very glad that htf
had received sueh an order from
headquarters. He was closely ques
tioned but refused to say anything
further en the subject.
It is not thought that be himself
even knows what the meaning of this
Indefinite order Is.
The true "situation" of affair- can
not be ascertained here, but there is
a general belief that Mr. Cecil Oab
bett may be made general manager
of the Richmond and Danville. A
few evening? ago he passed through
the city en route to Atlanta and has
been there ever since. .
