Description. The following description tolls all i.boiu thi duties of Mi Ferguson and his css.'stanta: This Institution in our midst, t f which cur citizens know very little, and or.e which the public genera'.y and railroad people In particular, are veiy greatly benefited, was started one year ago today, August 10, 1897. When the Augusta and SummercUie f;.:iti| lo get Its charter renewed, it l.e came necessary that Ihc railroads in Aligns'a should have some one to look after the transfer business —that is, err leads of freight to and from the va rious roads to the various private side tracks, which was formerly handled by (be Augusta and Summerville railroad. It was decided that they would es tablish what was known as a transfer office and to anpoint a transfer agent whose business was to look after the business above referred to and it was also, of the same time, decided to work the transfer office In such a manner that the transfer agent, in ad dition to the freight business to pri vato siding !, should handle ail trains of the different roads through the Plrrots by "block system." the transfer agent having absolute control of all trains on tile s'.rec-tfi b°Uv.‘ :i the fol lowing points: On Washington street, between soutb'jside of Savauanh river and Hall street: both sides of “Y” to west side of Hfclntosb street; Fenwick street track leading from south side of "Y” to cast s&fe of elevator, and the 79 CENT* - nm i k>b AtwvW TMt* tnr atJFFfiM VttH H)pet*i* “JH* tflfMiT *# •* w FAR ‘ <TV4 MI PH444l* It ** L"44 *9 CENT* imu iifiggs Th* onxt AM** Kt.xr« rip amp aurmtfi mum n tkr ajkivk raw » ATi-rk **r HH«r TttK I«*a«tm AMR **»«TW TMKT AMI VWkf W»KM» ft. 49 . *«'«*• WaTVT IT* *4VM TrIFN MnNKT * TUT A F-AtK OF r*4*K IMTfif **** ******" *AMr Il( ~, *i|,,»« ITIKT ARK i>oo# fkRARKIIR AMt* VRRf ffTTLMRI *ll aA, 1*p 1 •- • 1.00 cvt'R MtTP MjnW AT TMR MtnVR nnt'Mß ARM A* •"•LJt* AM A R»W AMf* <*»JrT Ml NW.

Tha lh-nrflt of the "block system" j will be ae-n from one feature alone and I bat Is that before the system was !n --ang irated there was not a week pass ! i tl that there was not one or l«vo of the ; roads before th- recorder for blocking the streets and for which the fine of one hundred dollars In each ease was imposed. Splendid Record. Since August loth. 1897, (the day the "block system" waa Inaugurated) there has not been a single case made against a single road for blocking streets. It is Interesting to know how the system is worked. When a train or engine desires to come on the streets, thr mnn In charge mils up the trans fer cffice over the 'phone, gives num her of the rnglne. where they want to go find where from anil number of ears in his trnin and If the track is clear :r given permission to start and when neceaenry, the regular meeting points are made at various points on the streets, same ns is done on a rail* road under order system and by this means (here is no such thing as hav ing n block unless something breaks down and In which case the transfer agent or his assistants have full au thority to move the trains In which ever direction they sec fit In order lo open any block that might from a muse of this kind occur. All togeth er the block system lias been n big help to the railroads, railroad men and the public and It Is a mystery how tV roada got along without it aB long aa they did.
