A GREAT NATION Orer Oje Hundred and One Million Under the S:ars and Stripes. WHAT EACH STATE HAS llMra Are Nearly Ninety-Two MMHon People in the United States Pro^v and Over Ten Million People in t!ie Philippine*. Porto Rico and Other Island*. In the United States and all Its po?esslons the Stars and Stripes protect 101.100.000 souls. This enormous number is the official estimate of the United States bureau of cencus, announced today in connection with tho population statistics of the country as enumerated in the thirteenth decennial census. It includes the Philippines, \5amoa. Guam, Hawaii. Alaska and the Panama Canal Zone. Within its borders on tho North American continent, exc'usive of Alaska, the United States has a population of 91,972,266 Inhabitants. During the last ten years the States of the Union had an aggregate Increase In population of 15,177,691, which amounts to 21 per cent over the 1900 figures. Rin Oft fhd fl rat rononc x%r oo folran I r* 1790, the country has grown twentyIre times as large, the population then having been 3,929,214 slightly larger than the present population of the Btate of Texas. The growth of the country was greater than haR heea expected by the expert statisticians who have closely watched the progress of the country's population. Census Director Durand says: "The States showing the lowest rates of Increase, falling below 10 g>er cent, are Qve In the great Central section of the country, namely. Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana and Tennessee; the three Northern Krw England States and Maryland and Delaware. "The States showing the next higher increase between 10 and 20 pecent lie adjacent to those showing the lowest rate and include, in the Middle West, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois. Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas, and on the other hand a great belt of Southern States, namely, Virginia, North Carolina. Sorth Carolina. Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. "States which show an increase trom 20 to 3 0 per cent are, for the most, the great manufacturing States, Including Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Connecticut, New Torh, Pennsylvania and West Virt guile, the only other States Increasing between 20 and 30 per cent are A-kar.sas and Texas. "The States which show an Increase exceeding 30 per cent are, kT T j me c*v.c|>iiuu ui i>?:w jersey anu Florida, all located In the West and make up a solid belt comprising fully one-third of the area of the ~Y United States. South Dakota, Colorado and Utah had rates of Increase between 30 and 50 per cent, while North Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon, California, New Mexico and Arizona Increased between 50 and 100 per cent, and Oklahoma, Idaho and Washington more than 100 per cent. The greatest change in rate of growth is found In the three Pacific coast states, and Nevada and New Mexico, all of which grew far faster during the last ton years than during the precedtug period. "The population of the Middle Atlantic State* Is 19,315,892 and the South Atlantic States I2.194.89f>. The percentage of Increases of the South Atlantic States Is 11.84. "The fact that the rate of increase* for the country as a whole was greater from 1900 to 1910 than . during the preceding decade wag due entirely to the added rate of growth Is the Middle Atlantic, Mountatu and Pacific divisions. In all bIx of the Other divisions tho increase during the last decade wns less than during (the previous one."

PATHOS WITH TRAGEDY onditlons Surrounding the Harris Girl is Moat Heartrending and the Coroner'? Jury Verdict Has the Approval of All Familiar With the Evidence Adduced at Hearing. A correspondent of The State, writing from Brunson, says distasteul us is the task it Is best that the tory of the killing of J. R. Laniford e told and necessarily in the telling >f it there must be related the too ragic story of Mary Harris, the oung white girl who is in the penlentiarv at Columbia, an eye-witness >f the killing and the occasion of it. There is no charge against her. t is possible there may be one rought?for by her own admission he was accessory after the fact to he murder of Mr. Langford. After hearing of the life and cnIroninent of this poor child, one can >r.t recall what was traced In the lust by the fingers of Him who came o save sinners: "He that Is wlthiut sin among ye, lot him cast the irst stone." With hardly an exception the peo>le of this place and, indeed, all kho have heard the details of the ase, think the coroner's jury which i\ed the killing of Mr Langford upon tichard Williams, the negro now in he penitentiary, were right In their >nding. Two other negroes have >een urrested and released under .ond to appear as witnesses when ho trial Is held. They are Ed Roubo nd Jake Urov/n. The evidence adduced at the Inluest In brief Is: On Tuesday jnorung Mr. Langford, who ran a hotel at Irunson and also operated a sawmill, eft his home in a buggy, about 8 'clock. He drove by the telegraph fllce and Bent a message which was .led at S:10. This Axes the time ssenttnlly. From there he drove toward his sawmill at Hopeep, but topped a short way from the cororate limits and the house of Bob larris. where ho talked to Mary Hurls, who was cutting wood in the ard. He drove off a short distance, urned out of the road, tied his home nd cot out of the buggy. The girl aviug made a flro. crossed the field nd met Mr. Langford In the woods. >n her way she^saw a buggy coming p the road and recognized the ocupants as Kd. Rouso and Richard Vllllams, nerroea, both of whom she new. She did not know she was ollowod by Williams, and did not ee him again until he was standing ver Mr. Langford with a stick or lub upraised. The blow fell and .angford's head dropped. He groaned ut did not speak, though she called o him. The negro upbraided her vith being unfaithful. She was Tightened and ran home. The ne;ro did not follow. She wanted to eP of the crome but was afraid. The girl talked freely when ?he lid tell. Her story was straightforvard and despite traps that were laivl ler evidence was never shaken in the east. The story of the search for Mr. .angford and the finding of his body >n a t)tig?y road in the woods has IOIQ. Suspicion fell on Williams before dary Harris told of the par' she had >)ayed In the tragedy. While the ;earch was being made for Mr. I^angord, Williams volunteered the inormatlon that he had seen him on he new Fairfax road nt an hour vhen. It wns shown by the evidence >f the other negro, eorrolmrating hat of Mary Harris, that he could tot have tn?en In Bight of the road, lo did cross the road later in the lay. Fid. lion He testified that he was lrlvlnv* to Tlrunson and overtook rVllllams, taking him in his buggy vlth him. When they got within light of the Harris home, Wlliams, vho Is a turpentine scraper, got out, laving he had left some of hie tools n the wools and had to pet them, louse did not see Mr. Langford's torse and hnggy nor did he see the ;lrl. It is supposed that Williams aw both. He described accurately dr. Lang ford's dress. On this evidence the negro was barged by the coroner's jury with he crime. There is pathos Immeasurable in he story of Mary Harris and though he mind revolts from degradation ?u*h as she has confessed to yet It r.ust be said that she is not all had nd is the result of an environment hiob Is deplorable, and a poverty of Ine should "Impoto the fault ft. a soul 1' the fud. to starved by Stinted of warmth, It will not blow this yonr v?or r cottniz the orb which sprtngflowers know." Dwelling in a honse so open that, ts It was described by a resident hero, tho birds can fly through It, Mary Harris, herself only 18 or 20 pears old now, the eldest of a family c?f four girls, has had to work like, a Logro and with negroes Fler moth or died two years ago, and her father, a simple hatf-witted unfortunate, feave eloquent testimony that there Is a great deal of good In the girl. "Don't keep Mary long," said the nftnr man -'"k* ? ? , ?.uu v>v uigui DUO was laaeu f'ora home. "She has been daddy and mammy bnth to these girls. ? >' venteen years 1 ha* worked for Poy Tuten for wages and I are worn oat. Mary's & good daughter." That this is true there is abundant testimony In Branson. Bob Harris is described not as half-witted but as less than that. His wife is said to have been not much above her husband in intelligence. The children are intelligent, even bright. They are small. In Brunson it is said that Mary ! arris. in all probability, gav ? bert*lf from li e poverty and not fr-M waywardness. 8ho had ionr echo i ! ing, can read and write and a<.""e years back the children came ty Sinduy school in Brunson.

Jake Brown's wife has been good to her. she said pathetically when aBked whv she went to the negro's house. With the care of her young slBters forced upon her without tho association of ary white woman, is It any wonder this wretched and forsaken chil-t .irned to this negro woman who had known her from her infancy? "She was tho only one 1 could go to for advice; when she told me not to do things I followed her directions," said the girl. "Bhe was good to me." Battling agaloBt such odds, no mother, no friends, a partly helpleess father who nevor was of full Intelligence and who had been whipped In lie battle with poverty, herself Had fcur others to feed and clothe, can ono greatly wonder that this child strayed from the right path? And v hen Hhe had strayed where wasl there one to direct her to Him who eald to another erring woman: "Go and sin no more. Thy sins are forciven thee?"

I Career of Colonel Andrews as Related by Colonel August Kobn, SERVED WITH HAMPTON I Railroad Service of the Southern Railway's Famous First Vice President Interrupted by the War J During Which He Rendered Conspicuous Military Service to the Confederacy. (Seated in an arm-chair at the Metropolitan Club In Columbia Wed- j nesday night was Col. A. B. An- j drew*. first vice president of tho Southern railway system. Mr. Sam | H. Hardwick and I hud a little argument about Col. Andrews' first railroad experience and we went over to Col. Andrevs to have him settle the Issue. The point was decided in favor of the newspaper inan aud, by : way of explanation. Col. Andrews took from his trouser pocket two well rubbed and shin- I Ing Mexican silver dollars. There ! were two of them and they had I rubbed against each other for a long time, for there were perhaps no companion pieces. These two Mexican dolars represented the worldly pos- j sessions of Col. Andrews when he left j tho Confederate army, at the close! of tho struggle, except two mules, j The mules and two unspent Mexican ! dollars represented the beginnings j of his present accumulations. nut tne point Is: When did Col. Andrews begin his railroad service? It was before the war, before 18G0, when aa a lad of seventeen he was j given charge of the trains that hauled j the atone used in the construction of the masonry on the present Mine Ridge railroad, running from Helton to Walhalla, via Anderson. Col. Andrews' uncle had the contract to construct the Blue Ridge railroad?the plneer road that was to have pierced the mountains and provided a through line from the coast to the West. The original contract was for company to haul the stone to he used j In the construction work, but the, deliveries were so unsatisfactory that Col. Andrews, then a mero lad. was put In charge of the train that hauled the rock. That was his first service us a superintendent of a railroad. loiter he was a real superintendent and he has gone the entire gamut of railroad service?active and actual service. | Then came the war and Col. Andrews, as he Is now called?and ho Is a real colonel, and not one by post-war service?entered tho 1st North Carolina cavalry as a lieutenant He served In tho Hampton Cavalry. and with distinction and courage. He was in the stress of many of the serious engagements with Wade Hampton, and the laRt time he saw Hampton that distinguished I chieftain remarked to him: "Andrews. I am going to wlte something that I hope will give full credit to your North Carolina men In my com j iiuma. lor i do not think you have [over gotten full justice in recorded I history." Unfortunately that promise was unfulfilled, for G?*n. Hampton died ar?out two weeka later. With his two dollars and mulea Col. Andrews went to work. He saw the destruction that had been wrought and It occurred to him thai there would be money and service in rebuilding bridges?railroad bridges. Ho borrowed money and got the job of reconstructing the bridges on the old Raleigh and Gaston railroad. He | remained with the Raleigh and Gaston road for ten years, during which time he was its superintendent. Then he went with what was formerly the Richmond and Danville road; perhaps his devotion to this system is accentuated by the fact that Col. Andrews' wife is the daughter of Col. Johnson, who was the first president of the Charlotte and Augusta railroad Thirty-five years ago Col. Andrews entered the service of the nucleus of the present great Southern railway system.
