J. B. Heyward, one of the veteran
and best known railroad men In At
lanta and for the past fifteen months
the baggage master at the Terminal
Rtutlon, has resigned bis position and
on fleptember 1 will enter the life In
surance business. The appointment of
hi* successor will b* deferred until the
return of Mr. Wlrkershnm, of the board
of control of the Atlanta Terminal
Company, who lenves on Monday morn
Ing for a week's trip to New York.
Mr. Heyward has had a wide expe
rtenee In the railroad world and Ids de
termination to enter a new field hns
caused genuine regret among Ills rail
road friends and all with whom he has
eome In contact In his duties nt the
stntlon. Traveling men especially have
found him to be alwny* obliging nnd
courteous nnd Ills -treament of women
nnd children has been such hs to cause
many expressions of tluinks from the
public of both Atlanta arid other cities.
J. B. Heyward began his railroad
career In 1882, when he became a mem
her of the engineering corps of the old
Carolina, Cumberland nnd Chicago
railroad, now a portion of the South
ern system. This old railroad was the
culmination of a scheme of John
Calhoun to connect the-tidewater of
South Carolina with the groin growing
and proaperou* sections of the west. It
had Its origin In the Blue Ridge rail
way, now also a part of the Southern
By the completion of the Tallulah Falla
railway and Ita connections through to
Knoxville, Tenn., the consummation of
the original Idea will be completed.
The Cumberland road went under
during the trying years following Its
birth and after that event Mr. Hey-
ward went with the Atlantic Coast
Line ns city papsenger nnd ticket
agent al Charleston, S. C, 'his native
city. After years of service with the
Coast Line he went with the Rlchnutul
and Danvlll rullruad, tinder S. H. Hard
wick, now pasengrr traffic' manager of
the Southern railway. He remnlned
continually In the service of the South
ern ns traveling passenger agent nnd
city passenger and ticket agent until
December, 1803.
In that year Mr. Heyward went with
the Atlanta and West Point road as
district pasenger ngent, remaining In
that rapartty until the opening of the
new terminal station, when he was ap-
polntsd baggage master.
All baggage master Mr. Heyward has
probably accomplished more than any
other official in that capacity In the
history of railroads In Atlanta. Ti
him has been Inrgely due the orgnnlin
tlon of the present excellent force on
duty at the station and the excellent
service which the public Is receiving,
excelled In no city of the slxe of At
lanta In the country. Mr. Heyward Is
eiiuully ns popular with the employees
at the station as he li with Ills em
ployer* and not n person from I'resl
dent Wlckershem to the humblest por
ter but ha* expressed genuine regret
nt his determination to give up the
Hoke Smith Drummers to Meet.

Club will meet Saturday night at 7:20
o'clock In the assembly room In the

FEAR REGARDING CANAL
REGARDED GROUNDLESS.
By Private Lcmanl Wire.
Washington, Aug. 18.—Both the state
department and the Chilean legation
are still without news regarding the
earthquake at Valparaiso. Because of
the total absence of cable communica
tion and the apparent cutting off of the
land lines, the opinion Is growing that
the disaster has been greater and more
expended than at first reported. Sev
eral cables land at Valparaiso, bur no
one of them seeins to be working.
The recent disaster at San Francisco
followed
aroused some apprehension In the
minds of some people as to the possi
bllitay of another outbreak of subter
ranean forces at a central point be
tween these two place* that might pos
sibly work Injury to the Panama canal.
Professor Hayes, chief of the divi
sion of geology of the geological sur
vey, however, says there is no such
danger. He points out that the so-
called backbone of the North Ameri
can continent ends in Central America
before reaching the canal xone, while
In South America It extends north
ward as far as Ecuador and then
branches off toward the West Indies.
For this reason, he thinks that If
there were connection between the ills,
turbance at Han Francisco and Val-
