The Story OF q EIoodoo Hat.

Mr. John Cooper. one OF Dooly coun-
tvs most prominent citizens, is in the
city on his way to Augusta to attend
the old veterans reunion. When he
got off the train. he looked up Captain
Warren Moseley, enc Of the bravest Of
the boys who went oct in the sixties,
and they Immediately began swapping
"reminiscences about their army life in
Virginia. Finally Mr.. Cooper asked
CAPTAIN NoSeley if he remembered the
Yankee hat. y reporter who was stand

which both men vouch for as being ab-
solutely true:

A Century of Great Progress.

The century now ending has been
full Of sad events, but it has also pro
duced more than all preceding centu-
ries to make human life easier and hap
pier. Discovery, invention, education
and culture have at the same time null
tiplied the food supply and the COM
forts Of life for the masses Of the peo-
pie and have developed philantnroplc
sentiment to such an extent that the
hard conditions Of former times are
largely obsolete. Ignorance, poverty.
suffering and Imprisonment are no"
mitigated greatly by the Increased ma
terial prosperity Of most civilized races
and by the increased disposition OF In
diyiduals and states to share with the
unfortunate the proceeds CT the IN
creased productiveness Of labor helped
by machinery.
The luxuries Of the rich in 1900 are
the necessities Of life for the poor in
1000. There has been in this regard a
large amount Of progress in the Gen.
tury now ending. So far rs the happi-
ness of life depends upon material con-
ditions, it has been greatly promoted

The century opened with the great
Napoleonic wars. AS leader Of armies
the great Corsican never found his
match. Wellington won renown in that
era by reason Of his victories over the
French in the peninsular war and the
defeat Of Napoleon at Waterloo.

Moltke. the German leader in the
Franco Prussian war, stands out as
master in the latter half of the century.
General Grant placed his name be-
side that of the great leaders Of mod
ern times. Scott and Zachary Taylor
we're the heroes Of the Mexican war.
Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas. Robert E.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson are names
forever to be associated with the brill
liant campaigns Of the civil war.
Nelson opened the century as naval
commander. and at its close Farragut's
record stands unrivaled.
In the last half of the century meth
DDS of warfare were revolutionized.
Steam succeeded sails. and iron armor
replaced modern hulls. Revolving tur-
rets aud rapid fire guns were severely
tested at the close Of the century. For
land troops the percussion rifles and
the breechloading magazine rifle. the
machine gun and smokeless powder
gradually changed methods Of fight
ing. The great cavalry charges of Ma
poleon's time were never repeated, but
the importance Of mounted troops has
been established by the experience Of
the later wars Of the century.

The Century IN History.


The story Of that century which Is
now drawing to a close will, l venture
to think, prove to be one Of the most
important volumes in the whole his
tory Of civilization. do not say that
Il will be one Of the most brilliant,
for there may have been centuries
which flashed a broader and a brighter
light over the worlds fields Of intel
lectual and moral darkness; centuries
Of more startling conquest, Of more
sudden change; centuries even OF
greater triumphs In literature and IN
art. But the nineteenth century has
been a time Of growth and Of develop
ment in all the paths Of civilization
such as the worlds history has hardly
ever seen rivaled and, in the applica-
ton Of science to the everyday needs
of humanity, has never been equaled.
When the century opened, there seem
ed to be q vast, impossible, impene-
trable region Of darkness, a cloud COW
cred "No Mans Land" dividing the
old civilization from the new. Asia
and Africa appeared to have nothing
to do with modern civilization except
as a subject for the reader Of history
or as an exploring ground for the tray
eler. Egypt was the land whittier Eu-
ropeans with q taste for antiquities
went to study the pyramids and the
sphinx. India was even still looked
upon as the country to which enter
prising Englishmen went to make for
tunes. China was thought of as
mysterious. old fashioned region, peo-
pied by countless millions Of persons
who wore pgtails and were shutof bya
great wall from the visits Of intrusive
foreigners. The real living world was
commonly regarded by Europeans as
only to be found in Europe itself, for
the new world. as it was called, had
not yet begun to count for much as an
influence Of civilization, and the still
newer world Of Australasia counted
for nothing at all 1t would hardly be
too much to say that the whole work
Of modern science which has to do
with the practical affairs Of everyday
life has, so far as it has got been ac-
complished in the nineteenth century.
OF course, there were great scientific
discoveries made In the definition and
the application Of natural laws to hu-
man life at various periods, early and
late, in the history Of the world. which
each succeeding generation has only
confirmed and extended, but what l
wish to point out is that the practical
science Of the nineteenth century has
made more change In the ordinary con-
ditions Of human life than was made
by any century or all the centuries
which went before it--Justin McCar-
thy in st. Louis Globe-Democrat

less than an hour he, too. was killed,
the bullet striking him in the head near
the place where the other two bullets
had entered.
The next day another soldier Of the
name Of Fitzpatrick Of Company n,
Fourth Georgia, was wearing the hat
when he, too. was struck in the head
and killed.
Although the hat was fine one, II
was left living on the field, as there
was no one who would wear It. as four
men who had worn it were then cold
and stiff. and each one had been shol

Growth of the lated statee.

Growth Of the Lifted States.
The twelfth census Of the United
States shows the population Of the
states and territories to be 76,295,2 ,220.
In 1900, when the second census was
taken, the country had 5,30S,4S3 inhab-
itants. The growth in each decade Of
the century is shown by the following
results of census computations from
1910 to 1890, Inclusive: 1910, 1925, $751;;
1920, 1888, $50; 1880, 12,S66,020; 1910,

The history Of the United States in
the nineteenth century IS one Of active
growth and development unparalleled
in the record Of any other country in
the world. From line Of states along
the Atlantic coast the area has been
extended across the continent and this
