Our Hinton correspondent aBks the Patriot to explain why the twentieth century does not begin January 1st, 1900. For the sim ple reason that as it requires one hundred years to make a century, the twentieth century will not begin until January 1st, 1901. The first year was the year 1 and not the year 0, hence the first century was not completed until the end of the year 100 ; and as we have neither lost nor gained a year since, it will require the year 1900 to round out the nineteenth century.
