TO NOW DOWN YANKEES.
The Chain shot Cannon That Was

y double barrclcd cannon designed to

soldiers Is one of the relics of the civil
war and is perhaps the only shooting
iron of the kind in the world.
Immediately after war was declared
an iron worker named John Gilleland.
then employed in one of the Athens

n cannon with two barrels which should
be more effective than dozen OF the
usual kind. The death dealing invcn-
ton was to be charged with iron balls
of noneSplosive nature. TO which was
TO be attached n long stout chain, so
that when the two barrels were fired
simultaneously the balls and chain
would NOW down men by companies.
The cannon was cast. When 1t was
entirely finished the inventor invited q
number OF his friends to pine thicket
on a hill on the outskirts OF the city to
see IL work. The double barrelcd thing
was placed In position on the hillside
and heavy charge Of powder rammcd
home in each barrel and the chained
ors friends kept at safe distance, and
he applied the fuse. One charge OF pow

didn't. AS the heavy ball shot out II

length, ripping and cayorting around.
over and under the pine saplings, rocks
and mud, tearing mp small trees and
earth, and finally came circling back to
the cannon which held the other bali
with chain attached. The inventor was
struck on one arm by the ball, now
nearly spent. and knocked senseless,
While friends feared to go near, sup
posing that the other barrel might take
a notion to discharge. 1t was some time

The analysts OF statistics concerning
the increase Of population in the Unit
- States. just issued by the census
bureau at Washington. shows that we
are stH. growing more rapidly than
aDy other country in the world, with
The exception of Argentina. The period
under consideration is that covered
by the census OF 1900 the decade from
1890 TO 1900. Our increase In popula-
ton. not including Alaska and the In
sulGr possessions, was 20.T per cent, or
n fraction more than ? per cent an
nually. We are growing at double the
average rate of Europe and nearly
double that of Canada. AS compared
with Canada, however. Ii would be
more accurate to say have been" than
'are," for the opening up of the Cana
dian northwest must have made an
enormous difference I'm favor OF the
Dominion. and much of the growth
there Is directly at our expense.
The facts relating to the relative
growth of the five divisions OF the con-

lantic. south Atlantic. north central
south central and western-are signifi-
cant. 1t was to be expected that the
rate of increase would be greatest In
the western divisions. comprising the
Rocky mountain and Pacific slope
states and territories. But it seems
remarkable that the lowest rate should
be that Of the north central states. ol'
the middle west. The southern states.
for the first time in our history, have
grown faster than the northern. This,
however, IL due to the development Of
the southwest. The two divisions,
south Atlantic and south central, are
together classed as southern, and this
brings In both the Indian Territory and
Oklahoma. together with Texas. All
three OF these are developing rapidly,
IN the manner Of the far west. which
they resemble more than the older
