PASSENGER TRAFFIC MANAGER
ACQUIRES INTEREST IN
ALA. COAL MINES
Atlanta, Ga„ May 7.—W. W. Crox
ton, passenger traffic manager of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
Railway, with headquarters in Atlan¬
ta, has tendered his resignation, ef¬
fective May 15th.
This announcement, made officially
in Atlanta Monday, will be received
with unusual interest in railroad cir¬
cles throughout Georgia and the
South, where Mr. Croxton is so well
i and favorably known.
Mr. Croxton has been engaged in
railroad work for nearly a quartei
of a century and for the last ten years
has been in charge of the passenger
traffic of the A., B. & A.
He leaves his present position,
much to the regret of the A., B. &
A. officials and the railroad colony in
Atlanta, to accept more lucrative em¬
ployment with the Garnsey Coal
Company, of Alabama. He will make
his home in Birmingham where he !
| becomes sales agent ncront „f of the tho company,
■ in which he has acquired an interest.
1 The mines of the company, which are
located at Garnsey, Ala., are now
! | turning out more than a thousand
I tons a day, with plans on foot for in*
creasing its output. It is stated that
i Mr. Croxton has also formed connec¬
tions with other large coal compan¬
ies.
Few, if any, railroad men are bet¬
ter known in Georgia and the South
than Mr. Croxton. Prior to his con
I neetion with the A., B. & A. railroad,
| he served as chairman of the standing
| committee for the South of the ag
j ricultural section of the Railroad Ad-!
ministration, during the greater part
of federal control. ;
Mr. Croxton was born in King Wil- :
liarn county, Va., on August 25, 1880.
He was educated in the public schools i
of Richmond, Va., and began railroad
work in 1900 as stenographer in the ,
local freight office of the Southern at
'Richmond. i
In 1901 he was promoted to division i
freight agent at Columbia, S. C., ■
but he returned to Richmond in 1902 ■
as chief clerk in tihe office of the di- !
vision passenger agent and a few I
months later he became secretary to |
the general passenger agent at Wash¬ |
ington, D. C.
On February 1, 1904, he was ap- ; i
pointed passenger agent of the
Southern and Chesapeake Steamship ■
Company at Norfolk, Va. He was I
promoted to traveling passenger
agent of the Southern iat New York j
on October 1, 1905, and on April 1,!
1907, was transferred to Norfolk,!
Va., in the same capacity, again serv
ing in addition the
Steamship Company. Later he occu
pied that position at Baltimore, M'd.
He went to the Norfolk Southern
in 1909 as assistant general passen -1
ger agent at Norfolk, Va. On Octo-1
her 1, 1910, ihe was promoted to gen¬
eral passenger agent in charge of
passenger traffic and agricultural de- 1
velopment service. - j
He accepted the same duties with
PILOTAGE BOARD
REDUCES RATES
AT LOCAL PORT
VESSELS COMING HERE WILL
PAY NO MORE THAN IS AS¬
SESSED IN SAVANNAH
The board of pilot commissioners,
after thoroughly going into the mat¬
ter of rates, announced a cut which
will place the port of Brunswick on
an equal footing with those of Sa¬
vannah, this port’s fresh water com¬
petition, and it is thought that the
superior facilities offered by this har¬
bor will mean additional commerce.
While the rate on vessels of light
draft will be about the same as here¬
tofore, the larger craft will be let
down a considerable amount. The
ship drawing about twenty-eight feet
will pay about $185, while heretofore
this draft vessel has been assessed
$264. It may be stated that the com¬
missioners gave serious thought to
action taken and it is the opinion that
all interests concerned will he bet¬
tered. While the rate at Brunswick
and Savannah is practically the same,
Jacksonville and Charleston are low¬
er, but it was thought inadvisable to
' ut meet ** Florida and South
Carolina ports. The new rate be¬
comes effective on June 1.
Following is the old and new rate:

CITY COURT MEETS
IN REGULAR MAY
TERM YESTERDAY
SEVERAL PLEAS OF GUILTY
WERE ENTERED BY LIGHT
OPERATORS
There were a number of pleas of
guilty entered in the city court yes¬
terday when Judge Butts called the
May term of the court at 10 o’clock.
It was but a few minutes after the
court had been organized that four
or five of the principals in one of the
most interesting cases on the docket,
through their attorney, entered pleas
of guilty. They were Grant Allen,
well known colored barber; Essie
Simmons, S. T. Smith and Minnie De¬
laney, charged with tampering with
the wires of the Mutual Light & Wa¬
ter Company, in order to defraud that
corporation out of the actual amount
of electricity consumed.
Judge Butts, after severely of ad-J the
monishing the defendants
gravity of the offense to which they
iiad entered a plea of guilty, the court
assessed a fine of $50.00 and costs.
The accused declared they would not
he guilty of the same offense again.
The case of Louis Simmons, in con¬
nection with the same case, was nol I
prossed. S
Hezekiah Green, colored, was con
victed of the charge of larceny, in j
which the possession of -a watch was j
concerned. Hezekiah was given a j
straight sentence on the gang of |
twelve months.
In the case of the State vs. H. F. i
Owens, charged with violating the
prohibition law, the jury returned a'
sealed verdict late yesterday after-1
noon. The case was Judge taken Butts up yester- j
day afternoon and con- j
eluded that it would take up the time
of the court for the remainder of the
afternoon. The criminal docket will
be resumed this morning.
A WORTH WHILE evangelist UTTERANCE said to j
The famous is
have uttered this declaration:
“I don’t believe that a ny man does j
right to himself, his wife, or his i
children if he doesn’t provide for I
them with life insurance, so when
he is gone they will not be thrown i
on the charity of the world. And next
to my faith in God, if 1 should die
tonight, that which would give me
the most comfort would be the
knowledge that I have in a safe de¬
posit vault in Chicago life insurance
papers, paid for uP to date, and my j
wife could cash them in and she and !
the babies could listen to the wolves
howl for a good many years. I don’t
expect to die soon. I may die, and on
that “may”, I carry thousands and
thousands of dollars in life insur¬
ance.”
I would not attempt to add any¬
thing to such a forceful utterance, nor
re-inforce such a well defined state¬
ment. Necessity for life insurance
cannot be disputed.
