C, he early in life came to Florence and became clerk in the old Gamble hotel, kept by his uncle. Upon the discharge of a passenger conductor at Florence he was asked to take the train to Charleston. This he did, and did it so well that he was asked to con? tinue the run. From that time on, and for 31 1-2 years, he was one of the Atlantic Coast Line's conductors, and was the first conductor to run a train over the Cheraw & Darlington railroad. On the outbreak of the Wat Between the Sections he enlisted in Col. Cash's regiment, but was at once detailed for railroad duty and spent the four years in carrying supplies and messages over the Coast Line system to the army in the held. His thrilling experiences in this service would fill a volume. He entered Atlanta with supplies for Hood's army, only to find Hood gone and the enemy enter? ing Atlanta. He did not stand on the order of his own going. He was many times shot at by detachmenis of Union soldiers. Twenty-six years ago he left the railroad and entered into partnership with his father-in-law, the late MaJ. Horton, and until a few years ago was one of Cheraw's leading mer? chants, failing health compelling him lo withdraw. He was a Mason of long standing, in lodge, chapter and coun? cil. I Capt. Hendrix was aged 78 years. He was twice married and is survived by his wife and two daughters, Mrs. It. Mi I. Watts and Mrs. John H. Wells, all of Cheraw. The funeral services wil be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow. Capt. Hendrix for many years had a run through this city and will be well remembered by the older in? habitants of the city. allfgic HOLD-VP SATURDAY. Two Negroes Say White Men Robbed Thciu of Small Sum.
