Capt. Billy Smith Returns.

Capt. "Billie' Smith, the we'll known
veteran conductor of the Greenville
branch of the Southern Railway, will
soon return to active railroading. He
has been living in quiet at his home in
Anderson for about three years, but his
fingers have begun to tingle to feel the
clip of the punch again and he has asked
to be given run.
Capt. Smith was given leave of alb
sence for one year by p. 1. Welles while
superintendent of the Savannah division,
with the privilege of retaining his rela-
tive rank. This was extended for ano-
ther year when it expired. The extern
sion was made by Superintendent II. A..
Williams, who had succeeded Mr.. Welles
when the latter resigned State, 9th.
Capt. Smith will resume his old run on
the Columbia and Greenville division of
the Southern this week. Since his resig-
nation about three years ago Capt. John
Lawson has had charge of this run, but
will give way for the return of "Old Re-
liable' to his first love.
