COAST LINE IS NOW IN CONTROL — *— HAS TAKEN CHARGE OF EVERY THING CONNECTED WITH PLANT SYSTEM. Some of the Officers are Afraid of Great Changes Before August 1. Tuesday was the last day of the existence of the Plant System of rail ways. Today there isn't a Plant sys tem depot, a Plant system rail or tie ui a Plant system employe in the world. The absorption of the Plant system a system whicii has been closely connected with the upbuilding of the south by llio Atlantic Coast line, went into full force and effect last night at midnight. In the News this morn ing the familiar heading of the adver tisements and schedules of the Plant system disappears and is succeeded by the less familiar title of the consoli dated system. Gradually, the old name will vanish from sight ever the ntire system, and the Plant system of railways will he but a memory. The official circulars announcing trio appointment ol ifflchils in the traffic department ol the Atlantic Coast line effective yesterday, wore received in this city Sunday. , The most omportant item in the circular is the appointment of W. J. Craig as general passenger agent, with headquarters 'at, Wilmington, N. C. This removes Mr.' It. W. Wrenn, who uas been passenger traffic manager of the Plant system for a long term of years. It also removes the headquar ters of the passenger department ol the former Plant system from fi.ivan : ih lu Wilmington. Mr. Wrenn’s office has been ififol- Uhcd and it is probable that all the passenger .jtisliiess of tiie consolidated systems will lie conducted from Mr. Craig's office at Wilmington. The Havaimfcih News learns that there is a probability that Mr. W. H. Leahy, who has been chief clerk to Mi. Wrenn for many years, will be appointed assistant general passenger agent, with headquarters at Savannah and willi jurisdiction over the por tion of tne system which was for merly the Plant system. Tills ar rangement would he much more satis factory to the people of this section than the one announced in the circu. lai’s received. General regret is ex pressed that Mr. Wrenn is not to be further identified with the system; but it is understood that he has several fine offers boh in railroad and mer cantile spheres. No change is announced in the Plant system agents here. These will probably bo covered in an addi tional circular. The. appointments mentioned are as follows: Ernest Williams, general freight and passenger agent, Augusta. Ga.; W. G. Pulliam, division freight and passen ger agent, Wilmington; H. M. Emer son, assistant traffic manager, Wil mington; R. A. Brand, general freight agent, second division; A. G. Kenly, freight claim agent; W. J.
