(2) Notwithstanding this declaration
OF Colonel Ferguson, 1t Is probable that
Kings Mountain was so called from a
man by the name Of King, who lived In
the neighborhood. From the same in
dividual, It is probable that Kings
creek derived its name.
(3) 1t is not very easy to determine,
with any degree Of certainty, the exact
number Of Americans actually engag-
ed at the battle Of Kings Mountain
The western army, that is, that portion
Of the forces, commanded by Camp
bell, Shelby, Sewer and Cleveland
numbered, on the 5th Of October
about three thousand. OF this number
nine hundred and ten, both Campbell
and Shelby say, were selected to pur-
sue Ferguson. The South Carolinians
which according to Col. Hill amounted
to near two thousand, were made up OF
individuals who had joined the army
in it's march from Biggers Ferry In
York county, to the Cowpens in Spar
tanburg. Before Kings Mountain was
reached, a very large number OF the
men had fallen behind. Some of the
companies had lost their way, and 1t Is
almost certain that not more than one
thousand men were In the fight. In
fact, one account puts the number al
about seven hundred. This, we think
too small. 1t Is a fact that the men
were coming in during the whole OF
the fight. Countrymen having learned
what was going on, mounted their
horses, bare-baclsed, and some Of them
took their horses from the plow, and
without taking time tc lay off the har-
ness, mounted and rushed to the scene
Of action, having no arms, but theil
squirrel guns. The number Of men Sc
lected for the enterprise was much
greater than the number engaged In
the battle, and many were in 1t, who
had not been selected. They had come
Of their own accord and fought In true
partisan style.

AIR AS AN EXPLOSIVE.
Liquid Variety Possesses Properties
Akin to Dynamite.

TSooSooGo
Akin to Dynamite.
Those who have seen liquid air,
transparent kissing liquid, steaming
from its intense cold, have difficulty in
conceiving It as an explosive as pow
erful as dynamite, says Public Opin-
ion. Yet according to the report Of
the Societe encouragement, this re-
suit is obtained by mixing liquid air
and powdered charcoal, and the explo-
sion is caused in the same manner as
is that Of dynamite, by detonation. The
power Of charge Of liquid air may
be increased by adding sulphur, petro-
leum and cotton. AS an explosive for
industrial purposes 1t is Of particular
value, si2ce the property Of explo-
siveness only lasts for some minutes.
A charge Of liquid air need, therefore,
only be prepared. when It Is about to
be put In use, and II 1t should fail no
danger is to be apprehended, since 1t
Is no longer capable Of exploding:
From experiments made the charge
Of simplest composition is shown to
be the best, namely, that composed Of
powdered charcoal, a piece Of wadding
and liquid air, the last two being pour
ed upon the first component when
the blast is about to be fired. The ex-
plosive power lasts from five to fifteen
minutes, and 1t will have entirely dis
appeared after half an hour, owing to
the complete evaporation Of the liquid
air. Since charge of this composition
costs only one-tenth as much as dyna-
mite and possesses equal explosive
power, a brilliant future for industrial
purposes seems assured to 1t.
THAT It cannot, however, as yet take
the place Of other explosives In all cir
cumstances is true. The liquid air
cartridge liberates certain quantity
or carbon dioxide, serious danger
In an inclosed space. It was In con-
sequence OF this found impossible to
employ 1t in piercing the Simplon tun-
nell Experiments are being conducted,
however to obviate this drawback.
Had the engineers of the Simplon
known a way in which to overcome
the danger of carbonic gas, the expen-
diture Of cutting their way through
the rock would have amounted to only
So meter, instead of $50, the cost Of
dynamite explosives"

Cd In it's day, the Deckhard rifle was
as famous as is the Enfield rifle Of the
present time. 1t was made in Lancas-
ter county Pa, and bore the name of
its maker. The barrel was three feet
and six inches long, and carried ball
which weighed about e-fourth Of an
ounce. The gun usually weighed about
seven pounds, was trained with great
care, and in the hand Of frontierman,
was a deadly weapon.

the night after the fight. The next
morning the dead were hurriedly bur
led, the wounded Wings cared for, the
enemy's wagons burned and the pa
triots departed. Lacy and Hill
marched down into York county and
encamped on Bullock's Creek. Camp
bell and the North Carolinians took
the prisoners and hastened to get be-
yond the mountains. AS they had
more prisoners than men, and as 1t
was important to save the captured
guns, the flints were all removed and
the prisoners made to carry them.
At Bickerstaff's old field, court
martial was held In order to decide
what should be done with the Tories.
Thirty were condemned to be hanged;
but all but nine Of the most notorious
were pardoned.
No victory ever was more complete
than that Of Kings Mountain, and
none was more timely for the interest
of America The British, Tories and
loyalists, in every section Of the coun-
try, were panic stricken, and the
wings encouraged. Cornwallis took
fright and left Charlotte. abandoning
his contemplated march into Virginia.
/ AS a revolutionary relic worthy Of
preservation, we append the following
rather rough piece Of poetry, which
was called THE Rattle Of King s
Mountain" We suppose the authors
name Is unknown to any one. Rough
as 1t is, it is still worthy Of being
preserved.
Old Williams from Hillsborough came;
To him the South Carolinians fiocked
amain.
We marched to Cowpens; Campbell
was there,
Shelby, Cleveland and Colonel Sewer;
Men Of renown, sir, like lions so bold,
Like lions undaunted ne'er to be con-
trolled,
We set out on our march that very
same night;
Sometimes we were wrong, sometimes
we were right;
Our hearts being run in true liberty's
mold,
We valued not hunger, wet, weary nor
cold.
On the top of Kings Mountain, the
old rogue we found,
And like brave heroes his camp did
surround;
Like lightning the flashes, like thunder
the noise,
Our rifles struck the poor Tories with
sudden surprise.
Old williams and twenty-five more,
When the battle was over, lay rolled
in their gore,
With sorrow their bodies were en-
TERED in the clay,
Hoping to heaven their souls took
their way.
This being ended. we shouted amain,
Our voices were heard seven miles on
the plain;
Liberty shall stand-the Tories shall
fall;
Here is the end Of my song, so God
bless you all.

REVIVAL IN PHILADELPHIA
Evangslists TOrTey and Alexander Begin a
Three Months Campaign.
TWO MONSTER MEETINGS ARE HELLO
Great Crowds, Unable 10 Get Into
Armory, Attend Overflow
Meetings In Nearby
Churches

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. AFTER an
evangelistic campaign of four years which
took them through Australasia. India, Eng
land, ireland, Scotland Wales and Canada,
Rev. Reuben A. Torrey and Charles NJ.
Alexander, the revivalists. today began In
this city three months mission which
is expected to eclipse any similar move
mcnt ever undertaken here. Two large
meetings were held In the armory of the
Second regiment the first in the afternoon
and the second tonight. So great was the
interest that there was an overflow OF
several thousand persons who were unable
to gain admttance to the big building
and hundreds attended services in nearby
churches.
The crowd that vainly attempted to get
into the night meeting greater than
the one that was unable TO participate in
the afternoon services.
Handblls and small cards announcing
the meetings have been distributed by
thousands and throughout the city on
dead walls and fences, side by side with
theatrical advertisements, large posters
bearing a picture of the cross and APP
proprate Bible verses may be seen. The
religious awakening is expected to cost
close to $4,000.
Those engaged in the work of evangelism
hope that the revival begun here today
will spread throughout the country an
interest such as that witnessed in Great
Britain After their three months work
in this city Messrs. Torrey and Alexander
will go to Atlanta for the month of May.

in a few minutes said that before going
with the officer he would have to step out
for minute or two. He was in his shirt
sleeves and had no hat on, so the officer
thought Of no danger I'm his not returning.
But he took advantage of 1t and fled He
got to Farragut, seven miles away, hired

FIGHT WITH MOUNTAIN LION
Al ketchum of Meeteetse, Wyo., Kills
Gigantic Beast After Nearly
Losing His Life.

MEETEETSE, Wyo., Feb. 4.-(Special.)-
AL Ketchum now known as "Catch'em,"
of this place had most terrific fight with
a mountain lion a few days ago, by which
he nearly lost his life. Ketchum had been
hurting cats and lynx, when he struck
the trail of this mountain lion and decided
to capture It. He followed the trail nearly
twenty-four hours, when one of his dogs
came upon the lion and was killed by the
huge beast. Ketchum, after this was all
the more determined to kill the lion, and
after about four more miles trailing again
overhauled him and the dogs freed him.
Ketchum came UP to within about 200
yards and at the crack of the gun the
lion dropped. Kechum, thinking him dead
or nearly So made n run for the tree. but
the beast had only been shot in the mouth
and his teeth torn away Without these
he was unable to bite, but he began fight
ing furiousy, and there is little doubt but
that Ketchum would have been fatally in
jured had it not been for the help of his
dogs. who hung onto the lions back and
finally succeeded in getting him away from
the man. The lion again took TO the tree
and two more shots put an end to his
career The skin OF the lion, after being
nine feet four inches from tip to tip, one
of the largest of its kind ever killed In the
state. The same beast had been giving
the stockmen OF the whole country much
trouble by his continued depredations and
no one heretofore had been able to capture
him.
