We regret to learn that the general health of Capt. Jno. E. LEGGETT has become so seriously impaired as to render necessary his retirement from his position as conductor on the Carolina Central Railroad. Capt. LEGGETT was, for some time, connected with the W. & W. R.R. at which time he became well known in this vicinity. He was a model conductor, and while always courteous, kind and obliging to his passengers he never lost sight of the interests of his company.
