For four months Mrs. Jennings had been in 111 health and had re cently been suffering greatly from melancholia, but it was not feared that she would do herself Injury. On Thursday morning she sent her youngest daughter out of her room, saying she desired to be left alone to sleep, and the act was evidently then meditated. Within a few minutes two shots’ were heard. Mrs. Jennings secured an old pistol that had been left in the bedroom. The pistol was placed against hei left temple and the head wag practically torn completely off.

That boy was William ll. Green, who was general manager of the lines now controlled by the Southern Railway system for a number of years.' This statement was made to the \Yashington correspondent of the Spartanburg Herald recently by Mr. S. H. Hardwick, who, as passenger trafic manager, is at the head of the entire passenger business of the Southern. The story of Capt. Green's remarkable success was mentioned by Mr. Hardwick in an accidental way. On the desk of the busy rail way man’s office lies a stack of rath er heavy volumes, whose appear ance indicates that they are the work of printers and binders of many years ago. Closer examina tion revealed the fact that the books were bound volumes of a weekly magazine, printed in London, during Jhe years from 1810 to 1 852. Across the first, page of each weekly issue were ths words, "The Railway Times," a d directly beneath this captain was ■> crude picture of a railway train of that date. Trailing along behind a de.*cate looking lit tle locomotive a trail of cars was repaeneed, the singR passenger ■oach being very much ILs the old- time "carry-all" drawn by horses. Next to this in the train wa a car toaded wRh cattle, while at t • ex treme rear was a flat-car, leaded vith boxes of goods, trunks and nth- t kind of traffic. "The issues appearing during the >eriod mentioned has been bound nto a dozen sturdy volumes, bear ing the mark of an enterprising i>ooks<ffIer of Southhampton, Eng land Mr. Hardwick was asked vhere he ran across these books, vhich were apparantly of much alue and to reply he told the fol- owing story: "Why, about five or six years age —in 1905, T believe it was--l made i talk down at Glenn Springs, S. C.. >n the subject •vhich was all-absorb- ng at that time, not only in South ,'arqltra, but all over the country— he railroad-rate question. After my ddresa was finished, Dr. James H Carlisle, president emertius of Wof- ord College, Spartanburg, who was ipending a while at Glenn's, and vho had heard the talk, oame to me and spoke most kindly of my feeble effort. He declared that lie had been nterested in what I said, and seem- ad deeply impressed with the im jortance of the problem of railroad- ate adjustment. As well as 1 can ecall his words—and they were im- • ressive, 1 can assure you—he said: I feel that it is a great question, and t regret that I * have not given il nore careful study.’ "Dr. Carlisle t v -n told me .that he tad in his librar; *n the Wofford College campus sever-' bound \oi- tmes of an English latlway mag» me appearirj about the middle ol he last centry, which might be of merest to me. as they had been t- tim so far as he, had had time to ead them, and aske 1 me if I would iccept them. Of course I told him 1 ihouid be glad indeed to get them, nd I arranged for him to send hem to me here. Those are thi olumes he gave me. Most people vould have destroyed them as vorthless years ago. but I have no loubt that Dr. Carlisle has preserv 'd them all these years, waiting for <ome such opportunity to give* them o someone to whom they would be f interest and value. I have found hem of great interest, as contrast ing the railway business of sixty rears ago with that of today: and now that. Dr. Carlisle has passed tway, the value of, those books to ne has passed ortt of the realm of lollars and cents.’ Continuing Mr. Hardwick said: "l suppose you 'knew of the close Triendship that existed for so many years between Dr. Carlisle and Capt. Green, our late general manager? Well, it is not so generally known, but they were great friends until the death of Capt. Green, several years ago. ^Dr. Carlisle began his career as a teacher, after graduation from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, and going to and from his school each day, he passed by a Iftle fruit-stand, kept by an old iqdy "from the sand-hills/’ Mrs. Green, in the suburbs of Columbia. Occa sionally, wheffi she was not at the front of the little store, or when Yhe was otherwise engaged, her little son. Willie, would wait on the youug teacher, selling him such wares as he wished to purchase. The teacher soon discovered that the boy was unusually alert and intelligent, and became much interested in him. He persuaded the boy to attend the school he was teaching. The two became great friends, and the boy ^confided to his teacher bis desire to get Into a larger world.. His mechan- ahops of the railroad at Newberry. Hla wages were 50 cents a week. Of course that was aot enough to pay hla erpenws, but both he and bis taa^foar ware lookln; Into the fu ture and atiae means were provided by which he could remain in the shops. Hla duties, at first, consisted In carrying water for the men em ployed in the shops. Continuing in j the shops, he became apprentice, then fireman, then locomotive engi neer. then supervisor and division superintendent, general superintend-, ent, and finally general manager of the great system he had served as a boy carryig water in the shops. His service covered a preiod of forty- two years. Every step of his upward climb was marked by great dilligence and efficiency. He was pointed to as a strong man, a kindly man, and indeed a great man. He was (afth- ful to his work, as well as to his benefactor and always attributed his success largely to Dr. Carlisle's in terest and assistance. “We hear the boys these days talking about the honor,of 'discov ering' a great baseball player. Dr. Carlisle discovered' a great man in the little boy attending the fruit- stand,^and was always proud of Capt. Green's auccesa. And Capt. Green, whenever he found It convenient, would atop off in Spartanburg and go over to the college campus to call on his friend. After he had achiev ed such a position in the railroad world that he always traveled in his own private car, Capt. Green fre quently invited Dr. Carlisle to be his guest on the car, and to travel with him; but he was never successful. He aaid the doctor seemed to th-uk that it was not exactly right for him to ride on a railroad free, while oth- era were required to pay their fares. That is just the idea that has now been enacted into law: but Dr. Car lisle was several decadea ahead of his generation In holding those views. "Yea, those books are valuable, and would probably sell for a good sum; but you may be sure I am uof going to sellthem." TRIED TO SELL GIRL REBl LT, MAN IN JAIL ON ‘‘WHITE SLAVE” CHARGE.
