BASOX'S RETIREMENTTbe following notice of the retirement of Capt. Bason from the railroad service, which we clip from the State, will be of interest to many of onr readers a? Capt.

Bason, who has for nearly a quarter of a century been conductor on the Charlotte, Colombia and Augusta road, has signinea nis intention to leave the service. His resignation will go into effect on May 1st, and another will take thi ticket punch. Capt. Bason is known in every little town and in every city along the line over which he has traveled dailv for 22 years. Such conductors as CapL Bason make traveling on the cars more endurable. Always with a pleasant word, always with a smile, always with some little courtesy to the ladies under his charge, he has made himself indispensable to the road. Tbe Charlotte News, in speaking of his retirement, says: "Capt. Ba^on be?:au railroading in tbe olden days when improved machinery and the palace cars of to-day wert not even thought of. He contin oei in the service because he was attached to it, and, even n#fv, reluctantly gives np the position which he has held with honor to himself and credit t? the road.
