IIEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, A1
PILOTS I,
HEM THUDS
Jim Suttles, Southern Con
ductor, Easily Dean of
Switchmen in South.
TRAVELS 420,000 MILES
Accomplishes This Within Five-
Mile Limit of Peters St.
and Terminal Station.
•Tim Suttles continued to scribble
figures on his litle record card for
several minutes after the whistles
told him it was 6 o’clock, last night.
Then .he glanced leisurely about, and
caw that he was pretty nearly alone
in the yards. He strolled over to the
freight shed, peeled off a pair of over
alls. faded from much washing
stretched and yawned contentedly.
Being well versed in the newest
fhing in slang. Mr. Suttles also re
marked to the atmosphere that he
“should worrv.”
This has been his custom now for
nearly 28 years,, during wfiich time he
has been in the service of the South
ern Railway as freight conductor,
working almost all the while in that
part of the yard about Peters Street
and the Terminal Station.
Out of an existence which might
seem humdrum at the first glance, a
number of Interesting things have
come. For instance:
In the 28 years Mr. Suttles* has
missed a day or two, maybe—not
more.
During that time he has guided
freight cars in aud out sidings,
through switches, from yard to yard;
he has cut out cars and moved therr
from train to train; he has handled
generally about 200 cars a day, on the
conservative average.
Has Piloted 1,680.000 Cars.
That would mean an almost con
tinuous service of 8,500 days, barring
Sundays. And many the Sunday ir
• the old days that he worked. he says.
It would mean that he has handled
60,000 cars a year—a rather low es
timate.
Also, that in the 28 years at this
rate, he has piloted 1,680,000 freight
cars through the maze of tracks* that
has grown year by year as the traf
fic increased, and become more and
more complicated.
And—here is the best part of the
story—he doesn’t want anything said
alfvut it. Through a weatherbeaten
tan, his face flushed modesfly when
it was suggested that there might be
something of a~?'tory in his achieve
ment.
Jim Suttles has lived his life for
28 years within the narrow confines
of the Southern Railway yards. Some
times he goes, with his cars to the
north yards, sometimes to the south
yards, but never beyond the range
of about five miles. Which is a rath
er circumscribed world to work in it
would seem.
Yet the figures are there to show
that within the narrow sphere of his
working existence. Jim Suttles has
traveled sufficiently far in the aggre
gate to take him around the world
ten. maybe fifteen, times. Fifty miles
a day, say, switching and checking
cars; in a year. 15,000 miles; in 28
years, 420,000 miles. .
Dean of Freight Condutcors.
Maybe 50 miles a day is high, as
an estimate. But not likely. Even
the standing length of all ( the cars
which he has handled in the 28 *years
would reach around the globe half
way. more than 11,000 miles.
Mr. Suttles in his work has dealt
almost altogether with freight cars.
So closely is he identified with the
movement of freight cars in the yards
about Atlanta, and fgr so long time,
that he easily is the dean of freight
conductors in the service of the road
—probably in the South. Jim Suttles
and switch engine 1648 stand for
something in local railroading.
All of which is an achievement per
formed by James L. Suttles, freight
conductor, in 28 years of unspectacu
lar, faithful, contented yvork, of work
accomplished within narrow r limits so
far as space is concerned, but which
reveals a staggering total of results
that lifts it out of the humdrum Into
greatness.
Mr Suttles resides at 137 Chapel
Street, but he actually lives among
the multiplicity of rails and cars
around about the Terminal Station
and the Peters Street bridge, because
his life is bound up in the work which
has been his for 28 years 12 hours a
day.

Bride Commanding.
Continued from Pan* One, Thie Sec
tion.
Misses Lillian and Prances Smith, who went out to swim
before summer arrived, and say bathing is very best beauty aid.
Aquatic Exercises Lend Attractive Curves to
Figure, Declare Vivacious Mermaids.
Would you be beautiful?
Would you have a complexion that
will consume your sisters with envy?
Then hearken to the advice of these
two Atlanta maidens, Lillian and
Frances Smith, of 47 Piedmont Ave
nue.
“Banish your drug store and beauty
shop complexions and go swimming!
Give Nature a chance,” is what they
say.
. The Misses Lillian and Frances
sought to follow their own advice
yesterday and went to Piedmont Park
for a dip. As a result, they beat the
park authorities as the season, and
found the lake dry.
They waited and waited on the
bank, but the water would not rise.
Said the sister Frances, pensively
twirling one daintily shod foot In the
ripples:
“Water Best Cosmetic.”
"Atlanta girls would And no occa
sion to go to Madame This and Mad
ame That in order to acquire beau
tiful complexions if they only would
take a plunge every day and would
swim about for an hour or more.
"The modern man, anyway, hasn’t
any use for the pallid, hothouse com
plexions of other days.
“The girl of to-day, if she wants
to make a hit with a man—I'm not
saying she does, you understand—
should betake herself to the nearest
lake and wash off all the paint and
powder. Then, she should swim and
swim some more. If she will take a
swim every day she will find in a sur
prisingly short time that she feels
better, sleep., better and—dearest to
her heart—she will discover that the
complexion, once pale and anemic, is
glowing with health.
“Let the Freckles Come.”
"If the freckles answer the call of
the sunlight and the breezes and in
sist on peeking out, why, I say, let
’em come. I would rather have so
many freckles that you couldn't set
any 'more on my face without stand
ing them on edge than to possess |
some of the pasty complexions I have
seen." ,,
The beauteous Atlanta Keuermans
also Insist that their "water cure" is
just as effective for the young Wom
an who is annoyed by her severe
Gothic style of architecture,
fewim daily for a month or two,
they say, and the angularities will be
subdued, the sharp corners will be
rounded and the form will become a
symphony of curves. It is all very
wonderful, ,
Whether they couldn't help them
selves or whether they acquired it In
the way they say other girls can, the
sisters Frances and Lillian give great
weight to their advice by possessing
m a delightful degree the pulchritude
all women are said to desire.
Miss Frances is pretty and viva
cious.
Miss Lillian is vivacious and pretty.
That’s the only difference.
Confederate Generals, Especial floral
memorials will be placed on them,
marking the resting places of General
John B. Gordon, General Clement A.
Evans. and General Iverson.
Tremendous streams of Carolina
moss and cedar, the dark green
brightened here and there by flowers
have beep fashioned by the women to
adorn the monument at Oakland. The
moss w.i.-. sent *o Atlanta by Mrs
Dunbar, a former member of the
Memorial Association. Great wreaths
are being made, also, to be placed
Ion the marble statue "The Lion of
-Atlanta," which was erected as ft
'memorial to the unknown Confeder-
■ ate dead.
1 The women have been working fot
1 days on the memorial wreaths and
flags, and will he busy nil this week.

roes
"Would you know how we feel?”
asked Ml*. Ellis yesterday. “Would

A POEM OF THE CONFEDERACY
Will you hear the band play “Dixit”
At tht Boy* in dray march by?
Will yeu htarf
Will you aot old memories rr-a-m'
Through tht dryness in their tyeT

Will you hoar?
Will you sea “The On#" ahe's mist

The One she sent away?

Will vou see the smile a-creepin’
through the sadness of her
tsars
As Her viet’ry comes a-stealin*
through a woman's countless
fears?
Would yeu like to hear old “Dixie”
at auoh a woman hears?
Could you hear?
Will you hear th# wind a-aobbin'
Thro’tha tattarad flags and furled?
Will you hear?
Will you see a mist of mourning
Where ones smoke of battle curied?
Will you too?
Will you ass that mist a-riein’, like
a fog sun-swept away,
Will you know the world is better
for the part played by the
Gray?
And there never was such union at
this Union of to-day?
Will you know?
In the pat-ndc to Oakland Cemetery
