LEAVES • IINAL Popular Railroad Man Re signs to Enter Bus- 1. 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 Station, has resigned his position and on September 1 will enter the life In surance business. The appointment of his successor will be deferred until the return of Mr. Wlckershnm, of the board control of the Atlanta Terminal ’ompany, who leaves on Sunday morn Ing for a week's trip to New York. Mr. Heyward has had a wide expe lence In the railroad world nnd his de termination to enter a new field has caused genuine regret among his rail road friends and all with whom he has come In contact In his duties ut the station. Traveling men especially have found him to be always obliging and courteous and his trearnent of women and children has been such us to cause many expressions of thanks from the public of both Atlanta and other cities. J. B. Heyward began his railroad career In 1882, when he becam« a mtm her of the engineering corps of the old Carolina, Cumberland and 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 grain growing and prosperous 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 Falls railway and Its connections through to Knoxville, Tenn., the consummation of the original Idea will be completed. The Cumberland road went under during the trying year# following Its birth and after that event Mr. Hey ard went with the Atlantic Coast Line an city passenger nnd ticket agent at Charleston, S. C„ his native city. After years of sen-ice with the ’oast Line he went with the Richm<|id nnd Danvlll railroad, under 8. H. Hard wick, now iiasenger traffic manager of the Southern railway. He remained continually In the service of the South ern as traveling passenger agent and city passenger and ticket ugent until December, 1903. In that year Mr. Heyward went with the Atlanta and West Point road us district pasenger agent, remaining In that capacity until the opening of the new terminal station, when he was ap pointed baggage master. As baggage master Mr. Heyward has probably accomplished more than any other official In that capacity In the history of railroads In Atlanta. T< him has been largely due the orgnnlxn 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 equally as popular with the employees at the station us he Is with his em ployers and not a person from Presi dent Wlckershani to the huipblest por ter hut has expressed genuine regret at his determination to give up the strenuous railroad work, and the best wishes of all will follow- him In his new line of endeavor.
