Greer ef Coloael Andrews as Rtlated by Colsad Aogast Kobe, SERVED WITH HAMPTON Railroad Service of the Southern Railway** Famous First Vice ProsMeat Interrupted by the War, Daring Which He Rendered Conspicuous Military Service to the . Confederacy. Seated In an arm-chair at the Metropolitan Club In Columbia Wednecday nlgrht was Col. A. B. Andrews, first vice president of the Southern railway system. Mr. Sam H. Hard wick and I had a little arnuxnent about Col. Andrews' first mil road experience and we went over to Col. Andrews to have him settle the tame. The point was decided in fa or of the newspaper man and, b) < Way of explanation. V Col. Andrews took from hie troufc* #r jacket two well rubbed and shining Mexican silver dollars. There were two of them and they bad rubbed against each other for a long time, for there were perhaps no companion pieces. These two Mexican dolars represented the worldly possessions of Col. Andrews when he left the Confederate army, at the close J of the struggle, except two mules. The mules and two unspent Mexican dollars represented the beginnings of Ms present accumulations. <But the point is: When did Co'. Andrews begin his railroad service? " It was before the war, before 1800, , when as a lad of seventeen he was ( giver? charge of the trains that hauled 1 the stone used in the construction of ' the masonry on the present Blue * Ridge railroad, running from Helton 1 to Walhalla, via Anderson. Col. An- * drcws' uncle had the contract to con- 1 struct tho Blue Rldgo railroad?th* n pirteor road that, wan to have pierced ^ the mountains and provided a * through line from tho coast to the T* West The original contract was for cornf>n\y to haul tho stone to be used h jn tho construction work, but the a deliveries were so unsatisfactory y that Col. Andrews, then a mere lad, 1: was put In charge of the train that li hauled tho rock. That was his first <> tervme as a superintendent of a rail- A road. Later bo was a real superfn- h ten dent and he has gone tho entire! ft gamut of railroad service?active'a and actual service. I w Th??n came the war and Col. An-jfi drews as ho is now called?and he j Is a real colonel, and not one by j post-war service---entered tho 1st; North Carolina cavalry as a lieuton- a int. He served in the Hampton C tv-; d airy, and with distinction and cour-IJ< age. He was in the stress of inanyjs of the serious engagements with I m Wade Hampton, and the last time he j I) taw Hampton that distinguished! g< thief tain remarked to him: "An-1 hi drcws, I am going to write something chat 1 hope will give full credit to your North Carolina men In my command, for I do not think you have aver gotten full justice in recorded history." Unfortunately that promise was unfulfilled, for Qen. Hampton died about two weeks later. With his two dollars and mulee Col. Andrews went to work. He saw the destruction that had been wrought and |t occurred to him that there would he money and service in rebuilding bridges?railroad bridges. He borrowed mone? and got the job of reconstructing the bridges on. the old Raleigh and Qaston,railroad. He remained with the Raleigh and Gaston rosd for ten years, during which time he was its superintendent. Then >he went with what wae form??t? * K? BUKnuinit and fUnvillf road; perhaps hit devotion to this system it accentuated by the fact that Col. Andrews' wife it the daughter of Col. JohnBon, who vraa the first president of the Charlotte and Augusta railroad. Thirty-live years ago Co). Andrews entered the service of the nucleus of the preeent great Southern railway system. It has been largely due to his constructive genius, his capacity for work and his knowledge of men that the weakling roads here and there have been brought together until today the system aggregates over 8,000 miles. When 8amuel 8pencer and his predecessors were gathering In weak roads, pulling them out of bankrupt courts and whipping the lines into shape Col. Andrews was his righthand and his safety check. Col. Andrews then as now was first vice president of the system. He kept unceasingly at work to make the Southern railway a great system and he as persistently kept In the back ground. When Mr. Spencer wan killed he showed the same keen spirit of co-operation towards a younger man, President W. W. Flnley, recognizing in him a man of abundant ability and energy. Col. Andrews was severely wounl! "d !n the war. Several yesrs ago the | physicians told him his "boilers would not stand full pressure," but It is even now difficult to keep him from doing too much work. Of course he is Interested In the pending "merger' litigation, for it was he and Col. B. L. Abney who handled the transaction by which the Southern railway took the properties "out of the wet" and undertook to develop them, and thereby the State. At that time Col. Andrews went over the entire system and saw what was ahead, and is abundantly satisfied with his prophecy that South Carolina had not then seen the dawn of the great industrial future that was \hsad.

When he heard thai a baby had arrived his longing to see the child made his exile misery. He , sent $600 to his wife, which she turned over to the bank.

It. includes the Philippines, Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, Alaska and the Panama Canal Zone.

During the last ten yeara the States of the Union had an aggregate increase in population of 15,* 977,691, which amounts to 21 per cent over the 1900 figures. Since the first census was taken in 1790, the country has grown twentyfive times as large, the population then having been 3,929,214 slightly larger than the present population of 'he State of Texas. The growth of the country was greater than has >een expected by the expert statisticians who have cloeely watched the progress of the country's popula'ion. ( Census Director Durand says: "The States showing the lowest rates of Increase, falling below 10 per cent, are five in the great Central section of the country, namely, "owa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana nd Tennessee; the three Northern!' Ww England States and Maryland *.nd Delaware. "The StateB showing the next higher increase between 10 and 20 per i ent lie adjacent to those showing the lowest rate and include, in the ' I Middle West, Ohio, Michigan, Wis-! consin, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska : ] and Kansas, and on the other hand | a Kreat belt of Southern States, i namely, Virginia, North Carolina, i doeth-Carolina, , Georgia, ? Alabama,ji ind Mississippi. { "States which show an increase (1 from 20 to 3 0 per cent are, for the; most, the great manufacturing , I states, including Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New \ York. Pennsylvania and West Vlr-|< 4inia, the only other States increas- < 4'ig between 20 and 30 per cent are trkar.sas and Teias. ' "The States which show an in- t urease exceeding 30 per cent the exception of New Jersey and \ i Florida, all located in the West anJh nake up a solid belt comprising |i rully one-third of the area of the 1 United States. South i)akota, Colo- i rado and Utah had rates of increase between 30 and 50 per cent, while JJ North Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon, ! I California, New Mexico and Arizona i t Increased between 50 and 100 peril ienl, and Oklahoma, Idaho and !'r Washington more than 100 per cent. 1 ' The greatest change In rate of > growth Is found In the three Pacific t 'oast Qtate?, and Nevada and Mexico, all of which grew far faster 1 luring the last, ten years than during he preceding period. ? "The population of the Middle Atantic 8tatee Jfl IP,315,892 and the louth Atlantic States 12}194,895. The percentage of increa?es of the South Atlantic' States is 16.84. ^ "The fact that the rate of inireapea for the country as a whole \ * greater from 1900 to 1910 than u luring the preceding decade wan due ' * ntiroly to the added rate of growth ^ n tho Middle Atlantic, Mountain and ' * hiclflc divisions.

Corrected figures issued by the census office today give the State of New York population as 9,113,614, increase 1,844,720, or 25.4 per cent; Florida 752,619, increase 224,077, or 42.4 per cent, and Maryland 1,295,346, increase 107,302, or 9 per cent. Unquestionably it will be necessary to alter the bAsis of representation In Ongrese. At the present ratio of 194,000 people to each member of the House of Representatives, the House would contain about 4 74 members as agaist 392 at present. It ia the general belief that this number would be unwieldly. Even at the rate of 220,000 as a basis the public assembly would contain 418 members, an Increase of 27. RESCUED BY THE POLICE.
