IN LOVING KINDMNESS.
He Carries His Father and Mothel
Away.-Remarkable Careers of
Father and Son.
Capt. S. Newton Williams has re
sisned his position as conductor oy
the Abuville branch railroad, whicl
position he has held for 23 years.
Capt. William's son, Superintenden
Henry Williams, came to Abbevilli
last Suaday in his private car to mov(
his father and mother to Anderson
They left on the 4 o'clock train Mon
day afternoon, April 10, 1911.
Advancing years and the 'nfirmitie,
of age made it necessary for Captaii
Williams to resign, and thus it wat
that the last chapter in the work o
a ing an-d useful career has beei
o- fifshed. He can no longer work, bu
he has satisfaction in the though
that few men have ever done mor
work or rendered a more faithful ser
vice.
For fifty years he has been continu
ously in the service of the railroad
and of that time he and his good wif'
have spent 23 years in AbbevillE
where he has true and loyal friends.
While Capt. Williams has reason t
be proud of his own career, the lif
and character of his son, Superintend
ent Henry Williams, verifies the scrip
tural statement that a wise son mak
eth a glad father.
Beautiful Incident.
A beautiful incident connected wit]
Gaptain Williams' breaking up house
keeping and thus moving froi
-amongst us, was in the contention be
tween his children as to which shoul
have the pleasure of caring for thei
physically aged and almost helples
parents. Finally it was agreed t
leave the decision to the parents. BE
eause of her children Captain Wil
liams decided to go with his daughtei
Mrs. Anderson, of Anderson, and thu
we are again Impressed with anotht
Biblical statement that children
children are an old man's crown. St
perintendent Henry Williams has n
children in his household, and therf
fore consented for his father and motl
er to go with his sister on conditio
that they spend at least a part of thei
time at his home. It is beautiful 1
see children not only willing, but any
ious, to contribute to the pleasure an
eomfort of their parents. They obe
'the command: "Honor thy father an
thy mother, that thy days may 1
long in the land which the Lord til
God giveth thee."
From Humblest Position to Highe:
Office.
Beginning at the age of 14 yea:
and taking the humblest position C
the road some 37 years ago, Hena
Williams's merit has been reward<
by various promotions until now I
has reached the superintendency, ti
highest office in this civision of ti
great Southern railway. In his pr
motion we have the best evidence th
his merit. his sincerity, his fixed d
termination and his unswerving fide
ity have been appreciated by one
the greatest roads on earth. His pr
motion and his distinguished servic
are not only proof of his ability, b
they furnish the best evidence of t
sagacity of those who are responm
ble for his -elevation to tne hIgh offi
which he holds today.
Right Man in Right Place.
Mr. M. B. Syfan, who has succeed
to the office made vacant ny tne resi
nation of .Capt. S. N. Williams, is t
right man for the right place. A bi
ter man could not be found for t
place,,and no man could be found 'w
would ibe more acceptable to the pi
ple of Abbeville. Always genial,
ways competent always accommod
. ng, he stands a prince among gc
fellows.
Evidence of High Regard.
While we know nothing of
names or the number of friends v
called at their home to express
spect and good wishes for our
parting nighbors, it is certain t:
many c \at their car to say go
bye to C- and Mrs. Williams, b
of whom, because of age and fee
health, were confined to their couch
Mrs. R. E. Eill, Mrs. M. B. Syl
-president of the U. D. C.'s in At

Long Careers.
Employees on the A St xille Bra
*are notable for their high charac
their faithfulness, their long ser
and their acceptability to the tra
ing public.
Engineer George W. Syfan, ser
hauled the rails and the cross tie
finish this part of the track in
st:mer of 1851. He continued in
,.service as locomnotive engineer f
that time until 1891, when, from e
esand the infirmities of age,
could no longer serve the road.
Careful Engineer.
Mr. Syfan was well known for hi
care in running trains. In his lonc
career he never had a serious acci
dent to engine, train or person. A
far as we can now recall he nevei
killed anybody except a boy. Thal
boy hid under a bridge or trestle, and
on the approach of the engine he rais
ed his head between the ties in tim(
for the cow catcher to cut his bead off
The court and everybody else exhon
orated Mr. Syfan from all blame fol
sending that boy prematurely to heav
en.
A distinguished, or exceptional hon
or was paid to Mr. George W. Syfan ir
the act of the company in placing hi
name on the pension roll for years
i Hd lived to the age four score years.
In his day he was not only a goo
railroad man, but he was a good cit
izen, and a zealous churchman. H(
reared a large family of children wh<
are an honor to him. One son, - Johi
Syfan, has been an engineer for near
ly fifty years. Another son, M. B. Sy
fan, has been baggage master on th,
Abbevile branch for 25 years. In rec
ognition of his worth and efficiency
he has just been promoted to the con
ductor's office, which was made va
cant by the resignation of Capt. Wil
liams, who had been on this part 0
the service for 23 years.
