Old Man Of the Mountain.

The title "Old Man Of the Mountain"
was first applied to Hassan Ben Sab
bal. who founded formidable dynas-
ty In Syria A. ID. 1890. He was the
prince or chief Of the sect of the Mo
hammedans. Having been banished
from his country. he took up his abode
In Mount Lebanon and gathered round
him band Of followers, who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians.
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that if they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys OF
paradise. For 200 years these "assaS-
sins" as they called themselves, con-
tinued to be the terror of the country.
Whenever their chief. the "Old Man
Of the Mountain" considered himself
injured he dispatched some Of his as
sassins secretly TO murder the aggres
Sor. This is the origin of our use Of the
word assassin for secret murderer

DYNAMITE EXPERIMENT.
Large Number of Farmers From This
and Other Counties Witness the
Demonstration

Thursday afternoon a large num-
Der OF farmers went out to Mr.. Henry
McLaurin's place on the Plowden
mill road several miles out from
town to witness the demonstration of
blasting stumps by dynamite which
took place there.
The place was an out of the way
one or perhaps the crowd would have
been larger than it was, although a
good attendance was present from
Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties.
The blasting began about o'clock
and lasted for some time, the spec
tators going into the field between
the blasting Of each stump to see
what had been done. Mr.. J. H. Con-
nell, who was the expert dynamiter
who was here to conduct the expert
ment, showed them how the dyna-
mite was used and how well it did

was done so we'll that after the ex-
plosion the stump could be
handled almost without any other
cutting or splitting of it. The dyna-
hitting was a success from every
point of view as it did the work well
and did it a great deal cheaper than

The dynamite used was the Dupont

The expert dynamiter, Mr.. ConneIl.
has been and is being sent to all of
the larger towns in the country to.
show the farmers how the dyna-
mite, which is especially recommend
ed for the blasting of stumps, is used
and to give the experiment to get
them to use the dynamite. Mr.. Des-
Champs, of the Sumter Hardware
company, sent out invitations TO all
of the prominent farmers in the
county and in nearby counties to be
present at the experiment. Many of
them were we'll pleased with the new
method Of digging stumps and said

THE PALM TO PHILADELPHIA.
More of Its Money Gone for Foreign Titles in Ten Years Than Any
 Other City.

New York, Chicago, Washington and perhaps half dozen other great Amer ican municipalities within the past ten years have all handed over number of their fairest and wealthiest young women to become the mates of foreign noblemen, but. if the distinction may be regarded as an honor, the banner for the greatest number of titles cap tured and the largest amount of gold sent away. should beyond doubt, be delivered to Philadelphia.
 In about five years the Quaker City has witnessed the sailing away of five of the most charming members of her social family, and has found her for eign connections augmented by two French counts, Spanish count, a French baron. an English viscOunt and a British minister. The aggregate sum of the doweries of these young women and the vast fortunes they will each inherit reaches well into the billions. Their beauty in every case was the cause of much comment in the social world for months before the marriages The grace and ease with which they have adapted themselves to their unac- customed surroundings has been much talked of since-Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE HORSE IN HOT WEATHER
Care Must Be Taken in Feeding and
 Watering Him.

Extreme hot weather brings more or less suffering to horse, and If the animal does not receive proper care and attention at this trying pe- riod disastrous results are sure to follow Above all things else. says Country Life in America, do not over work the farm horse or force the driv- CT for too much speed or make long drives without frequent rests.
 At this season, when water is usu- ally more or less scarce and horses apparently have an unsuitable thirst, the matter of watering deserves con- siderable attention. Do not give the horse too much at a time, and 1t is safest to give none at all while he is very warm.
 A bran mash twice a week will as- sist in keeping the system cool, and in case of overfat a dram of pulver- ized saltpeter added to the mash will be beneficial.
 On very hot days allow work horses two hours for dinner instead of one, and do not feed until they are some what cooled off. Also remove the harness at this time; this extra la

bor is more than offset by the comfort it gives the animals
 In three-horse team the middle one is most liable to heat exhaustion because of the additional heat radi- ated upon him by the horse on each side on this account it is advisable to change the horses so that one will not be compelled tC be in the middle for more than half a day at d time.
 The pernicious pestering of flies is another matter that cannot be over looked. The dairy cows and calves, as well as the horses, can be well pro tected from flies by such prepara- tions as are for sale at almost all drug stores or are advertised in the farm papers. This preparation is not expensive, and is best applied with sprayer, although d brush or rag will
 do if d sprayer is not available. For the work horse a light treatment eV-
 cry morning will afford better pro-
 tection than d net or blanket-and is
 much cooler. According to another writer it is allowable when horse | is hot to let him have three or four swallows of cool water, but mo- more.
 
 and another Iiimted drink may be given every few minutes for four or five times after which he may drink
 his fill without danger. In careless
 or inexperienced hands, however, the only safe way is to let the horse stand for half an hour or more with no water, until he is fairly cooled off. Salt is necessary to horses, but it should not be given to them in large ! quantities, or irregularly An excess of salt at one time produces conges- ! tion of the stomach and induces eX- ccssive thirst. The best plan is to keep rock salt in reach of the horses f at all times so that they can satisfy | their appetite by an occasional lick. | If you have not followed this practice, | introduce it gradually by giving the animals a little salt with their regular ' ration for a week.

KING GEORGES INCOME TAKES.

That the king will in future pay no income tax on any part of his income is a feature in the encouragement of the finances of the crown which, however interesting, gets no mention in the report of the select committee on the civil list The reason of this is that the payment of income tax by the sovereign is a purely voluntary act, and therefore cannot be included in a survey of the civil list.

HATS AND BALD HEADS.
Why the Wearing of the Former
 Causes the Latter.

Ingenious men are continually con triving new kinds of shoes, new sus- pcnders and hundreds of different kinds of braces, but SD far, says The Therapeutic Gazette, no one has taken up the idea of making a hat which will hold on the head and not blow off. and at the same time not bind the head all around like a constrict- ing band.
 Some men go without d hat with the idea that the hair is improved by ventilation and sunshine. Un- doubtedly this does improve it. but the prime secret is not in not wear irg the hat at all. The ventilated hat will not prevent badness, If this same hat be worn tightly around tho head IT a string be tied ever so lightly around the finger the

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, July 30.-The reactiOnary tendency from the rebound which de- veloped in yesterdays stock market became more pronounced today un- der the play of the same forces of prof it-taking on the rise and the satisfied demand of the reduced short interest. The Pearson syndicate settlement also lost some of it's influence on speculat- i've sentiment A fresh break in Sloss- Sheffield steel to a lower price than yesterday renewed feeling of appre- hension over the integrity of its divi- dend. The closing of the London stock exchange for today and Monday deprived the New York market of one more source of its recent strength.
 The agreement by the cotton ship ping railroads upon plan for the vali- datlon of the bills of lading for cotton shipments it is believed will meet the requirements of the foreign bankers for the advancement of funds on such bills to finance the cotton movement.
