PENSION FOB CAPT. "BILLY."
Veteran Conductor Appreciates Ac
ton of Southern Railway.

Anderson, Jan. 25.-Capt. "Billy'
Smith, the veteran conductor, who has
given ffty-four years of his life to
the service of the Southern railway,
has been retired on a pension Of $40 a
month. Capt. Smith said this after
noon that he appreciated what the Of
fcials have provided for him, but his
many friends are a little surprised
over the smallness Of the pension.
A month or two ago petition sign
ed by several hundred travelling men,
asking for the retirement of Capt.
Smith on full pay, was sent to the
head officials of the road, and in view
OF this fact, and the fact that Capt.
Smith has been a most faithful SER
want of the road for so long, the pub"
lie generally is a little surprised at
the small allowance made for him. A
notice of the pension was received by
Capt. Smith here today.

stating in connection with one of
them that he had been cut off from
his source of information by the termi-

Fielder, Rountree & Wilson, and that
he could not proceed any further in
the case referred to unless the COM
mission furnished him with the evl-
dence and facts upon which to pro-
ceed.

concluded that all of the above men

with the exception of that OF the
Richland Distilling company, which
is now in process OF adjustment and
which we had hoped would be closed
up before this report to you.

several petitions were filed with the

with view to securing either a
modification of the Secretary's de-

the matter was gone into at con-
siderable length.
The Committee authorized Sen

of the decision. and in the event
| of failure in this regard, he was
