CAPT. "BILLY" SMITH RETIRES
| Quits Railroading After Fifty-three
Years of Service.
Greenville, Jan. 19.?C&pt.
"Billy" Smith, the veteran conductor
of the Southern Railway,
who for so many years has run on
the Columbia and Greenville division
of the road, announced today that
he had retired from service. It was
rumored in Greenville Thursday
that the aged conductor had handed
in his resignation, but this statement
Superintendent A. H. Williams,
of the Colombia and Greenville
division, denied. However,
Mr. Williams did state that Capt.
"Billy" had not been on his run
since earlv in December and that, he
did not believe the veteran conductor
would return to work.
CONFIRMS STORY.
In The Greenville News of this
morning a story was printed stating
what Superintendent Williams had
said concerning the probability of
Cspt. "Billy" resigning. Today
the veteran conductor was shown a
copy of the paper and he stated
positively that he had made hia last
run. The old gentleman will formally
tender his resignation at an
early date.
Capt. "Billy" has been with the
Southern Railway for 53 years and
for a greater part of that time has
been on the Greenville-Columbia
line. He is one of the best known
railway conductors in the South. I
OREATLY MISSED.
The gallant old gentleman will be
missed greatly for he is known and
revered faaand near; especially will
tho traveling public regret to learn
that he has furled his colors. It is
understood that Capt. "Bill?" will
make his home at Anderson.
Spanks His Wife, Jailed.
Hammond, Ind., Jan. 23.?Chas.
Buluois, 23, spanked his 16-year-old
wife with a strap and she caused his
arrest.
Judge Frank Green, in the West
Hammond court, told Buluois that
he had no right to heat his wife and
sentenced him to 100 days in jail.
"You got what was coming to
you," his wife told Charles as she
left the court room, and after he had
told the judge he thought this was a
free country and that he had a right
to spank his wife. \
