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

WANTED TO 8KK HIS BABY.
I/osging For Little One Brings Kr
rant Father flack Home.
It was a longing to bold in his
arms his baby which he never bad
seen that brought Walter A. Hall, a
defaulting bank teller, back to New
York and prison. He surrendered
himself Friday, confessed a theft of
$44,600 from tho Herald Square
branch of the Greenwich bank, and
was remanded for sontence.
:Hall, who Is 24 years old, fled (
from New York last July and wan- j
dered about Canada, he said, letting
on horse races. 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.
Later, he said, he sent $1,000 to ,
her, but she told the pollee today ,
that she never received the money.
When he could resist no longer the |
Impulse to return to see his baby, he .
came back to New York. HaM sur- i

habitants. 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. ?

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 ^

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.

that Giupaeppl was a prisoner In an

At the door of a rear room they
