SpectlatitB as to What Increase o
Congressman There Will
BE GIVEN THIS STATE
By the New Census, Which Is Now
Itaing Figured Up.?The Increase
in Our Population May (iive I's
as Many as Three New Members
of Congress.
One of the interesting and Important
results of the census of 1910
will be the reapportionment of representation
in the national house
of representatives. It will be one
of the duties of the Sixty-second congress,
to be elected next November,
to pass a law making a new basis
of representation in the lower house,
the figures of the ceneus of 1910 being
used in the apportionment. Unless
the record of 100 years is broken.
the number of representatives in
congress will be increased. lhe
Washington correspondent of The
State says:
(?)f course the population of the
United States will be shown to have
Increased by several millions in the
oast ten years. Likewise the nonu
laiion of practically every State will
show increases, although it is expected
that in some of the New England
Slates there will he only very
Blight increases, if not actual decreases.
The present number of representatives
in congress is 30 1,
the basis of representation being, as
nearly as possible, one to every 190,000
inhabitants. The allotment of
representatives to each State is llxed
by federal law, and the Sta?< s
themselves lay out their districts,
endeavoring to arrange the districts
so that each will include the required
autuher of inhabitants.
The congressional districts of this
state, under act of the legislature
approved February 20, 1902 (with
one or two amendments to take care
of new counties formed since that
date), are as follows:
First: Charleston, Clarendpn, ColJef.011
and Dorchester; ' population,
1900, 196.390.
Second: Aiken, Bamberg, Barnwell,
Beaufort, Edgefield, Hampton
and Saluda; population, 1900, 195,509.
Third: Abbeville, Anderson, Newberry,
Greenwood, Oconee and Pickens;
population 1900, 190,662.
Fourth. Greenville, Laureus, Union
and Spartanburg population,
1900. 181.933.
Fifth: Cherokee, Chester, Chesterfleld,
Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster,
and York; population, 190C,
190,4(0.
Sixth: Darlington, Florence, Horry,
(JoorgHtown, Marion, Marlboro
and Williamsburg; population, 1900,
?U I ,U ( (.
Seventh: Lee, Lexington. Orangeburg,
Richland and Sumter; population,
1900, 183,753.
Total popuutlou of South Carolina,
1,340,2 1 6.
It has been estimated in Washington
by a South Carolinian who pays
close atleution to such things that
the population of the State will be
showu 1)/ the present census to be
between 1,800,000 and 1,900,000. At
the lower of these figures, if the
present basis of representation prevailied,
the State would be entitled
to two additional representatives,
while if the population of the^state
should be 1,900,000 or over, the
State would be entitled to three
additional members of congress.
An idea has gained currency in
Washington that the basis of representation
to be adopted in the a(v
portionment of members of congress
for the next ten year is one to every
2 20,000. Of course, nobody knows
just what basis will he adopted, and
will aot know until the matter is
decided by congress itself. Rut if
this gue?s proves to be correct, a
population of 1,700,000, or a gain
of 4 20,900 in the past tei years,
would entitle South Carolina to ne
additiaal representative in congioes.
Oklahoma, the new state, whicn
was entitled to five members of congress
the very day she was admitted
to the Union, is expectea to show
np in the census of 1910 with such
gains max sne will be entitled to five
more members. The growth of the
State has been marvelous. Most "*f
theso members will bo Democrats.
! New York, the population of
New York city has so increased M.nt
it is probably that several new congressmen
will represent the city in
the Sixty-third house. As New Yoi k
city is nearly always Democratic,
the new members from that town
will probably add to tho number of
Democrats in the house in the next
congress but one, although the Increase
la the electoral college, whicti
will be commensurate with the increase
In representatives, will probably
l>e n gain for the Republicans,
as the entire electoral vote is cast in
accordance with the result in the
whole State, and New York is no.aially
Republican.
On the 220,000 basis, the number
of representatives In congress
for the next ten years would l>o
about 41#. There has been some
talk ot mining the basis so large that

TRIED TO SELL GIRL

Atlantic City Police Relieve They I
Have Agent of Gang Which Deals
in Immigrant Girls.
After a chase lasting over two
weeks the police of Atlantic City. N. ^
J., believe they have captured a 1
"whito slave" operator for whose \
arrest the Federal authorities have 1
been looking for some time, and al- )
so gotten on the trail of traftie tn <
immigrant girls which may cause j
an even greater scandal than the ]
one which came before the Rockefeller
Grand Jury in New York city
recently.
As the result of the work of Detective
Herbert, a man who gives h<s
name as Geo. E. Nelson, is locked
up in jail without bail, while a Slav
girl, unable co give her name, is being
held as a witness. The charge
made by the police is that Nelson
openly took the g'~l to a tenderloin
resort in Atlantic City with a price
for her possesson.
The charge is made that Nelson
went to Atlantic Citv several wv>eks
ago and osfered to sell the gin,
whom he said had just arrived it;
this country and would be "perfectly
tractable." A day or two afteiward
the girl escaped from her captor
and went to New oYrk city. Nelson
followed her and reappeared in
about a week with .his charge widen
he attempted to sell again.
Nelson now in a cell, denies that
he ever attempted to sell girls, but
the police are working on the theory
that he is an agent for a "while
slave" gang dealing in iturnigran
girls, and whom the Federal author:
ties ha.e been attempting to catch

This is the report made to the Department

Most of the visitors recollected '
this region as a vast tract of marshland,

is being extensively farmed and is '
beginning to support what eventual- a

The Italian government has used a
the German method of systematic e

READ THIS, BOYS
l LEAF FROM THE LIVES OF
TWO (iKEAT CAROLINIANS.
How I)r. James H. Carlisle Discovere<l
in a Little Hoy a Great Man
and Ilailroad Muna^r.
"From water-carrier at 50 cents a
seek to general manager of a great
railway system, at a salary of many
:housands of dollars a year, is a career
one doesn't hear of every day,
but that was the achievement of a
South Carolina boy. who grew up
in Columbia, and who became well
known all over the South, i That
lioy was William H. Green, who was
general manager of the lines now
controlled by the Southern Railway
system for a number of years,
rhis statement was made to the
Washington correspondent of the
Spartanburg Herald recently by Mr.
5. H. Hardwick. who, as passenger
raflc manager, is at the head of the
entire passenger business of the
Southern. The story of Capt. Green's
-emarkable success was mentioned
jy Mr. Hardwick in an accidental
way. On the desk of the busy railway
man's otllce lies a stack of rat.li r
heavy volumes. whose appeurmce
indicates that they are the
work of printers and binders of
nany years ago. Closer examinaion
revealed the fact that the books
were bound volumes of a weekly
nagazine, printed in London, during
he years from 1 840 to 1852. Across
be lirst page of each weekly Issue
vere th words, "The Railway
rimes." a i directly beneath this
aptuin was h crude picture of a
allway train of hat date. Trailing
Jong behind a do. cnte looking litle
locomotive a tra? ? of cars was
epaeneed, the single passenger
oach being very much Hks tlie oldinie
"carry-all" drawn by horses.
Cext to this in the train w;u? a cat
oaded with cattle, while at tie e.\renie
rear w as a llat-car, it lulcd
kith boxes of goods, trunks and othr
kind of tratHc.
"The issues appearing during the
leriod mentioned has been bound
nto a doien sturdy volumes, bearng
the mark of an enterprising
>ookseller of Southhampton, Engand.
Mr. Hurdwlck was nskeu
khere he ran across these books,
vhich were apparantly of much
alue and to reply he told the folowing
story:
"Why, about five or six years ago
?In 1905, I believe it was?I made
talk down at Glenn Springs, S. C..
>n the subject rvhich was all-absorbng
at that time, not only in South
'nrolLna, but all over the countryhe
railroad-rate question. After m>
ddress was finished, Dr. James li.
Carlisle, president emertius of Woford
College, Spartanburg, who was
pending a while at Glenn's, and
vho had heard the talk, came to nu
ind spoke most kindly of my feeble
fi'ort. He declared that he had been
terested in what I said, and seemd
deeply impressed with the im
tortance of the problem of railroadate
adjustment. As well as 1 can
ecall his words?and they were imiressive,
1 can assure you- he said:
I feel that it is a great question, an
regret that 1 have not given i'
uore careful study.'
"Dr. Carlisle tb?*n told me that he
lad in his librarj <?n the Woffo; d
Jollege campus sever-l bound voiirnes
of an English railway
ine appearing about the middle ol
he last centry, which might be o:
nterest to me. as they had been t
dm so far as he. had had time tr
oad them, and asked me if I would
crept them. Of course 1 told him 1
hould be glad indeed to get then,
nd I arranged for -him to so ri
hem to me here. Those are llu
olumes he gave me. Most poop!
could have destroyed them a.worthless
years ago. but I have tu
loubt that Dr. Carlisle has preserved
them all these years, waiting foi
ome such opportunity to give then)
o someone to whom they would he
if interest and value. I have fount
hem of great interest, as contrastng
the railway business of sixtj
'ears ago with that of today; and
low that Dr. Carlisle has passer
iway, the value of those books tr
ne has passed out of the realm 01
lollars and cents.'
Continuing Mr. Hard wick said:
"I supiiose you knew of the ciosr
'r lend ship that existed for so m?n>
rears l>etween Dr. Carlisle and Capt
Ireen, our late general manager?
A'ell, it is not so (generally known,
jut they were great friends until the
icmu i?i i api itreen. several year:;
igo. I)r. Carlisle began his ca eer
is a teacher, after graduation froiu
lie University of South Curolina in
Columbia, and going to and from
tils school each day. he passed by a
litle fruit stand, kept by an old lady
'from the sand-hills," Mrs. Green,
n the suburbs of Columbia. OtCKilonally,
when she was not at th<
"rent of the little store, or when s.'u
vas otherwise engaged, her little
ion, Willie, would wait on the young
eacher, selling him suc.h wares as
le wished to purchase. The teacher
ioon discovered that the boy was
inusually alert and intelligent, and
>ecame much interested in him.
io persuaded the hoy to attend uhe
ichool he was teaching. The two
?6<-ame great friends, and the boy
y
confided to his teacher hiB desire to I
get into a larger world. HiB nierhi n- I
ical taste and tendency had been discovered
by the teacher, and a position
was secured for the boy in the
shops of the railroad at Newberry.
His wages were 50 cents a week. Of
course that v.aa not eaougJi to pay
his evpen&'B. but both he and his
'.aaofjjr were tookin? into the future
and means were provided
by which he could remain in the
shops. His duties, at tirst, consisted
in carrying water for the men employed
in the shops. Continuing in
the shops, he became apprentice,
then fireman, then locomotive engineer.
then supervisor and division
superintendent, general superintendent,
and finally general manager of
the great system he had served as a
boy carrvig water in the shops. His
service covered a preiod of fortytwo
years. Every step of his upward
climb was marked by great dilligence
and efficiency. He was pointed to as
a strong man, a kindly man, and
indeed a great mai. He was faithful
to his work, as well as to his
benefactor and always attributed his
success largely to Dr. Carlisle's interest
and assistance.
"We hear the boys these da.\s,
talking about the honor of 'discovering'
a great baseball player. Dr.
Carlisle 'discovered' a great man in
the little boy attending the fruitstand.
and was always proud of Capt.
Green's success. And Capt. Green, i
whenever he found it convenient, t
would stop off in Spartanburg and |
go over to the college campus to call 1
on his friend. After lie had achieved
such a position in the railroad j
world that he always traveled in his;
own private car, Capt. Green fie-,
lueutly invited Dr. Carlisle to lie his'
guest on tlie car, and to travel with*
him; but he was never successful.
He said the doctor seemed to think
that it was not exactly right for him 1
to ride on a railroad free, while oth-I
ers were required to pay their fares.
That is just the idea that has now
been enacted into law: hut Dr. Carlisle
was several decades ahead of
his generation in holding thoi.e
VlOW8.
"Yes, those books are valuable,
and would probably sell for a goo.l
sum; but you may be sure I am nut
going to sellthem."
