Ye?k THE OLD C. & C. K. It. How Sherman Destroyed th Kail road and How it was llcbuilt. After thfl burning of Columbia by Sherman's army in February 1865, the march to the north wn< commenced and thejdestruciiou of the Charlotte and Columbia rail r?>:\d, now the C. C. and A. divis ion of tho Southern, was pushed "with vigor. The army struck camp six miles above Columbia. The army remained in camp a couple of days, or until tho road was torn up from this city to the camp. After this work ct do struction was completed t he army took up their march Northward. The mode of operation was to tear up the track, build fires with tho crossties and stringers, 1 \y the iron rails across the fire until the railB became redhot and then twist them in all manner of shapes with tools gotten up for the pi.pose. Another method was to heat the rails in the middle and bend them around trees and tcl egraph poles, thus rendering them useless ns they thought., but not so, as will be shown later. It must bo remembered that thorn were no" steel rails in use at that time. On the Charlotte and Columbia railroad was what was known as "chub," or flange rails, a llat bar of iron with boles in the ll uige for the purpose of fasten nig the rail to the stringer. i'iie stringer was held in place by ihe notches cut in the tie, a large tie. called a "gain" tie or umai:i" tie by some. Between each "gain" ti* tin ve was a small tie placed on which the stringer rested. The svviili wa9 of the construction of most of the railroads in this pection ? f the country at that time. The process of tearing up the road was continued with the advance of the army to a point a few miles south of Chester At this point the army left the road and marched across the countr t-owarda tho North Carolina line, thus leaving the road intact bet woen Chester and Charlotte. The surrender came on and the clfioers lound themselves with no road from Blackstock, some 50 milei north of this city. After things had settled down tho work of reI lilding tire road was commenced Thero were no rails to be bought, i ? the question of straightens g out the bent and twisted rails was t .ken up and it was decided te undertake tho job. Brick furnaces v, re built something like an old It No Right to Ugliness.

Those which were twisted would be untwisted by. means of tools devised for tho work, then laid on a Hat slab of iron and hammered out straight. In this way the old rails were brought into use once more, and continued in uro for some years j afterward, until tho more .noderu rails were brought into use. While a squad of men were teaming up tl e road and twisting n rails i;u old section master was looking on. The officer in charge of the men remarked to ! section man ; "Say, old man, you are out of a job: you will a' ver be able to work theso rails ain." I ho section master re, Iiod : "111 see about it after you ar<* p;one. I will then go to work an 1 straighten out those rails and bo reads for trains to run over tliom in a very short time." For I'lis speech of tho section man the orticors cnmo near putting him under arrest, but did not, and the section man lived to make good his assertion. In these times Mr. William Johnson was president of the road and Mr. James Anderson superintendent. While the work of rebuilding tho road from Go lumhia to Hlackstock was under vny tho ro id north of Blackstock wm b.dntr operated. A small shop '.as built at Chester and sueh tools and material as could ho scraped up from tho burned mi ps in litiu c?\y were transport cd to Citistcj by dirt road and used in the shops at that place.
