mered out straight. Those which
we're twisted would be untwisted
by means Of tools devised for the
work, then laid on a flat slab of
iron and hammered out straight.
In this way the old rails were
brought into use once more, and
continued in use for some years
ofterward, until the more modern
rails were brought into use.
While a squad of men were
learning up the road and twisting
tho rails an old section master
was looking on. The officer in
charge OF the men remarked to
the section man Say, old man,
you are ont Of a Job: you will
never be able to work these rails
again" The section master re-
piled: "Ill see about it after you
are gone. | will then go TO work
and straighten out those rails and
be ready for trains to run over
them in a very short time" For
this speech of the section man
the officers came near putting him

section man lived to make good
his assertion.

How Sherman Destroyed the
Railroad and How it was Re
built.

built.
After the burning of Columbia.
by Sherman's army in February,
1865, the march to the north was
commenced and the, obstruction of
the Charlotte and Columbia rail
road, now the @. @. and A. divis
ion of the Southern, was pushed
with vigor. The army struck
camp six miles above Columbia.
The army remained in camp a
couple of days, or until the road
was torn up from this city to the
camp. After this work of Do
struction was completed the army
took up their march Northward.
The mode of operation was to
tear up the track, build fires with
the crossties and stringers, lay
the iron rails across the fire until
the rails became redhot and then
twist them in all manner ofshqpcs
with tools gotten up for the pu~-
pose. Another method was to
heat the rails in the middle and
bend them around trees and tel.
egraph poles, thus rendering them
useless as they thought. but not
so, as will be shown later. Ii
must be remembered that there
were no steel rails in use at that
tine. On the Charlotte and Co.
lumbia railroad was what was
known as Schulz" or flange rails.

tlange for the purpose Of fasten.
ing the rail to the strirger. The
stringer was held in place by the
notches cut in the tie, large tie,
called a "gain" tie or "maiu" tic
by some.
Between each "gain" tie there
was small tie placed on which
the stringer rested. The swith
was of the construction or most
of the railroads in this section Of
the country at that time.
The process of tearing up the
road was continued with the
advance of the army to a point
few miles south of Chester. At
this point the army left the road
and MARCHED across the country
towards the North Carolina line.
thus leaving the road intact be-
tween Chester and Gharl0tto. The
surrender came on and the officers
found themselves with no road
from Blackstock, some 80 miles
HOrth-of this city. After things
had settled down the work Of re.
building the road was commenced
There were no rails to be bought,

The rebate of the senate on the army bill has brought out several interest ing points, The administration sen ators have been compelled to acknowl- edge that the situation in the Philip pines is to-day worse than it was when AIr Mckinley wrote his message to congress. and that it is more likely to grow worse than better ill the near future; that in any event large num- ber of troops, quite as many. II not more than are there now. must be kept on the islands for an indefinite pc riod Senator Hoar resumed his old position of antagonism to the Mcl>in- ley Philippine policy, and urged that the Filipino leaders be given hearing at Washington. and that the policy of extermnation be abondoned. senator Caffery denounced the army bill be- cause it's real purpose, the eNtefmlha- ton of the Fuipinos, was masked, and declared that although this sort of thing might be called ''benevolent as similation it was no less tyranny and simply superimposed yoke of lm- nerialism. SenatSr Teller began his speech by predicting that 2OO,0oo, ln- stead of 100000 men provided by the bill would be needed to carry out the
 present policy, and that for century
 to. come the islands would have to be heavily garrisoned. He referred 10 Un il, q Snppcn
 laughed at the idea of anything lm-
 Derialistic being seen under the Amer

 acterized the actions of the present
 Philippine commission as gross lm-
 rsrialism unequaled anywhere on the
 face of the earth, and said: Under
 the law they have right to be there, but under Gods law. which is higher,
 they have no place there at all. Ihelr actions are the worst form of imperial ism In reply to a question from Senator Caffrey. MT Teller said:y As
 SEr Lincoln announced in regard to the Mexican war; war that he did not be- ,ieve i'll. he would vote for such force ,s the government needed, so have no doubt that as long as our flag floats from the Philippine archipelago l will reluctant as I may be) vote to main .ain the army and the flag there.

In closing Mir Teller fired this broadside at AIr Mckinley: "The president hasas- i sured us that there is no danger of i'm l perialism. but if imperialism can be , mada worse than if is now in the Phil

It remained for two republicans to break the harmony which has charac- terized the proceedings Of this session of congress, by calling each other such pet names as "criminal' and ''petti- logger" The men were Hopkins of Illinois, author of the committee reap portionment bill, which takes away one of Maine's representative and one electoral vote, and Littlefield of Maine, who has made q speciality of throwing tirebrands among republican combusti- bles ever since he entered congress, who is supporting the Burleigh reap portionment bill which reduces the representation of no state, and which is being strongly supported in the house and may knock out the commit tee bill. Acting Speaker Dalzell had hard time getting Hopkins and Lit tlefeld to order. while the house seemed really to enjoy the Wrangling, the first of the session. -.

PADDED LIKE A FOOTBALL HERO.
 When the revenue cutter pulls up alongside of the big steamship, which, by the way, is generally entering the Narrows, the inspectors soon chamber aboard. Sometimes there are IS of them, sometimes 20, some times less. It all depends on the work to be done The chief inspect or and his assistants go into the big salon and take possession. They seat themselves at the tables and take out pens and ink and paper and are ready for business. Then the heads of fam- flies are summoned before them. The fathers and the uncles and the guardians and the chaperons, and the other responsible ones, sign long pa- Pers called declarations, detailing all tine articles contained in their trunks and satchels and handbags. Some- times they forget just what they
 have, and other members of the fam- fly have to be called. In a general way they get the lists pretty nearly correct. If they willfully misrepresent
 things, so much the worse for them. Those inspectors somehow have .
 way of finding it out nine times out
 of ten. This takes quite Q time, as there are often 500 or 900 passengers to consider. And all the t:me the
