WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.
British Refused to Adopt Successful
Breech-LOading Gun.

British Refused to Adopt Successful
Breech-Loading Gun.
Representative Webb Of North Caro-
lima entertained the house the other
day with a historical account Of the
battle of Kings Mountain, one OF the
decisive conflicts of the revolution, says
the Boston Transcript 1t was fought
Oct. Z, 1850, little more than year be-
fore Yorktown, and proved one Of the
events that contributed to the ultimate
defeat and surrender Of CORVALLIS. II
was achieved at a time when success
was greatly needed to raise the droop-
ing spirits Of the patriots.
Mr.. Webb thinks the United States
should rear a monument on the battle
field. To the military student Kings
Mountain will ever have an interest
from the circumstance that the British
commander. Major Patrick Ferguson.
who was slain, seemed far in advance
Of the time in his efforts to improve
firearms He had invented a breech-
loading musket, which fired seven shots
q minute. This somewhat crude, but
effective weapon, was tried before a
British military board in Great Brit
ain, and its performance was all that
its inventor claimed. But the board
reported against it on the ground that
1t would be productive of wastefulness
of ammunition. Ferguson was power.
less to procure a reversal Of the yer.
dict. He is said to have armed some
of the Tory corps he commanded With
the weapon at his own expense, the gov
eminent steadily refusing to adopt II
for the army.
1t is interesting to put down the his.
tory book as Thackeray says, and spec.
ulate on what might have happened,
but for what did happen. Such an In
teresting speculation is: What would
have been the course of American his
tory had the British army entered the
revolution srmtd with breech-loaders
triot sires? Such speculation leads one
to think OF the many inventions OF pre-
sumably conquering value that men and
nations have missed In crises Of their
fate. We know that the inventor of
the needle gun was working In Paris
when Napoleon was striving to carry
his military equipment to the pitch Of
perfection. and we know that Fulton
was unable to get through the hedge of
officialdom to have direct speech with
Napoleon. But Is that really any
stranger than that five years after the
Clermont walked the waters like a
thing of life" the United States should
not have had a steamer In its navy
when it threw down the gage Of battle
before Great Britain? In 1861 we be-
gan a great war that was fought with
niuzzle-loaders, eighty years after Maj.
Ferguson was buried wrapped In
raw beef's hide" at the foot Of Kings
Mountain, where the grave may be seen
to this day.

This jaunty gown shows a pleasing
combination of some of the most at
tractive features of the season. The
blouse. which pulls on over the head,
has an artistlcally shaped yoke after
the manner Of the Peter Thompson, and
the deep sailor collar terminates in a
point IN the front; 1t may be worn
either with or without shield. The
skirt also has fitted yoke extending
to the front gore, which is finished for
a placket opening. A lacing at the
back OK the skirt and the front of the
blouse adds an attractive touch. There
is nevec anything devised more satisfy
ing for q girls costume than d pretty
sailor suit. and none more generally
becoming and comfortable. Serge, fian-
mel ana linen are the stand-bys for
these costumes, but all sorts of wash
goods may be used, as preferred. This
model has decided individuality In style
and is quite distinctive.

The argument Is advanced in New
