absence of enterprise aud till last week ,
! bu
want of transportation aro the causes,,
for the completion of the C. F. & i . V .
Railroad Wi Walnut Cove has brought
transportation to our ore banV-s within
\ ten miles. Tlt«, cost of gradiag the j
branch road from WalrufcCove If Dan- 1
bury has been estimated at SMS ,000 ,1
in
towards wbich pmount the State has up
' "i
propriated $*25,000, so that but $-1,000
would have to be raised t» have the road lfJ
graded. The president of the ('. 1' it at
Y. V. Kuilroad has said that the com- ™
pany would furuish the cross ties, iron 1 j n
and bridge the road, SD that wo cannot |''
longer complain of a waut of transpor
tatiou. ei
It is a»ked why the corporation known 'j
a* the Moratock Iron and Manufactur- |j
ing Co., that worked the ore during the L
war did not succeed ? This company
was formed of a lew individuals, mostly e
citizens of Virginia, for the purposo of (]
securing vxeinption from uiilitaty duty r
as much as for engaging in making iron.
They put up improvements including a t
furnacs which though a good piece of c
masoniy wan defective in plan. '1 bey '
made it seems a abort blast the product
of which was pigs »t* solid und smooth.
A considerable quantity of these pigs ,
was hauled to Hairston's ford twelve '
utiles distant, fot shipment on flat boats 1
to Danville and thence by the K. Hi D. 1
Kailruad to Richmond. Meantime the
company were busy getting tip oro and
burning ohareoal for a fUiltr blast, of
which they had a considerable quantity
when Gap. Stoncmaii came th:otigh this
county on his raid and relieved the com- j
pany of tbeir stock numbering about
forty horses and mules. The company
then suspended ope rations. Sotuo of their
employees used the coal and many tons
of oro besides pig iron that wero oil hand
)a making bar iron iu the bloomary forgo
and sold the product all over this sec
tion of the State.
Wo liavo so often referred to the
quality of the oro that wo deem it su
perfluous to revert to the subject. As
to its quautity we hero give the exper
ience of one who supenntended the
Rogers mine for eighteen months aud
considers the supply mexhaustiblo. lie
says that the ores of this county which
bad been mined at a number of bunks
has such a high percentage of iron that
more than one party found it profitable
to wagon the ore fiom the mines to
Frost's, Riser's, I'cppcr's, Moodey's
and other bloomaries who sold the bar
iron at five cents, aud lire iron at six
e,ints per pound. A set of tires made
from such hammered iron was consider
ed to out wear two sels of ordinary
rolled iror. A full history of "Iron Ma
king m Stokes County" was published
snipe years ago by Dr. Win. Sharswood,
which is referred to by Mr. Swank in
bis "Manufacture of Iron in All Ages."
Tbe ore in this oounty does not occur
in beds or pockets but iu continuous
veins. No vein so far as can bo as
certained has ever cut out. Cross or
egular veins can be shown at moro than
ono hundred places, several of which
measure from five to ten feet, over an
area of five miles square

A few words in regard to the circum
stances of a few of tbiswritor's acquain
tances among the faculty of Harvard
University. The late Chirles Beck,
professor of Latin, was estimated to be
worth oue-bundred thousand dollars.
Then there is Horsford sometime pro
fessor of chemistry in the Lawrence
Seientifio School of that institution, who
is reported to have amassed a very large
fortune through his "baking powder;"
•«d Alexander Agassiz, curator of the
Museum of Natural Ilistsiy of tbe same
ipstitutioo, who baa bad a very princsly
income for a score of years from his in
terest in the celebrated Calumet-Heckls
copper mine lie has given no less than
$236,000 to that institution between
1871 and 1880, besides making numer

We have not read "Miss Churchill"'
ut it seems from the tonor of a few no
ices of the novel extracts from which 1 f
in give below, that to the uiiuds of these | i
ritics the fair writer has departed from '
lis beaten track of her early models 1
Hfccli wero happy inVneident plot, sen- {
and freahuesa ana ra»i of sly 10, aud j
n tbetr stead she has relied unduly on I
'character and relations."
"The formality of the conversation |
jives the book the air of being a serious (
itteuipt ou the part of the author to gel
im of a wonted style into another, mid I
0 make much of character and relations ! 1

"We remember some very pretty and j (
promising fictions from this author, sev
;ral years ago, aud we trust she will in j

;ls and discard'studies' of "peculiar j
but not remarkable' heroines, like Miss
Churchill."— Philadelphia . Imrican.
The Gorman ton Times copies our re
gent article, on "Winston as seen fiom
the distance," aud makes the following
remarks :
"Tho idea'.hat Winston should look i
to her own immediate sui rounding*. and
not reach out beyond llie limits of her
trade is a correct ono. From what
sourco has Winston secured her trade?
Has it been from Wilkesboro, or the
extreme limits of the Western bouutla
rics of the State' All who are ac
quainted wi'.h the Winston trade, know
that it is Irom the surrounding counties
only. Admitting this to be true, what
is the best plan fur tho Winston people
to adopt to aid ill buihling roads which
will make hrr a station oil a tliroug'i
route, or to build short biaucli roads
running into those sections from which
*bc has gotten -her trad*
This is a question of vital importance to
1 tho business interests of Winston, which
if not discussed aud measures adopted
to retain the trade she now has, the re
sult will be that a part, if not all of her
wagon trado will be absorbed by ot! er
competitive points, whioh are reaching
in every direction for trade. The
trado heretofore given Winston from
Stokes county is of great magnitude,
a greater quautity of leaf tobac
cu has been sold m Winston than
any other county in the Statejheucc,
it is important that Winston make an
effort to retain that trade, aud h>w is
she to do that,by building a road through
Stokes county byway of Gcrmanton to
Danbtiry; such a route would penetrate
tbe finest grain and tobacco section of
tbe cDUUty, and being a more direct way
would perhaps cost less money «han any
other route through thecouuty of Stokes.
Wc throw out these siiggustious to
our neighbor city, aud if she is desirous
1 of a road through our county, a plan
i can be adopted which would result iu
. great benefit, both to Winston and to
| tbe section through sucb a road would
: run.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Sir iidward Thornton, tho represent
ative of the English bondholders, ar
j rived in New York Sunday. When
' j asked by a reporter whether the Euglish
1 bondholder! would be contented to ac»
ccpt the terms proposed by the Riddle
bergcr bill be replied: "No. Ido not
! think any of tbe foreign bondholders
will accept this proposition, and I am
certain that none havo accepted it thus
1 far. It c&niemplated the payment ol
1 three per cent, interest for twenty year*
1 and four per cent afterward. Tho fael
is, though, that tho refusal to accept
j. the coupons iu payment of taxes aftei
tbe agreement of IST), and tbe failure
. jto pay any intetest at all destroyed tbe
. ! tho value ef tbe bonds, and nccessarri
