Charlotte N. C. IRON III THE SOUTH. Southern minerals occupy a very prominent position and are among the chief objects of attraction at the Boston Industrial Exposition. This State, we regret to say, has no exhibit at the Louisville Exposition, although there may possibly be, through the tfforts of individuals, some specimens of her products on exhibition. At the Denver, Colorado, Exposition, there was a good exhibit, for which we are indebted to the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company. These exhibits all do good, because they show in a comprehensive form the character and variety of the mineral resources of this section by grouping them and placing them under the eye where they can 4b seen at a glance and studied at leisure. They ead to inquiry, inquiry to investiga tion, and investigation to valuable in formation. This leads to investment in properties, and this to the construc- tion of highways for the transportation te market of the product of the plants The Louisville Courier-Journal has an interesting editorial on this subject, from which we clip the following, showing the opinion ef competent judges on Southern iron and Southern possibilities as competitors in that line. It says: l ew persons realize how rapidly the changes noted are progressing. Three new roads from the Ohio Kiver to the mountains of Eastern Kentucky are now being costructea, not to unite arge commercial centers, but simply to get access to the great bee's of coal and iron which lie hidden in Eastern Ken tucky, East Tennessee and Western North Carolina, for there is found the best ore in America, and side by side with it are great fields of coking coal. In 18i5 Isaac Lowthian $ell visited the iron region of Alabama, and in his report made to the British Iron and Steel Association stated that it "pre sented advantageous conditions for the economical production of the metal rarely met with even in Great Britain," and he still further asserted "that it would prove a match for any part of the world in the production of cheap iron." Abram S. Hewitt, than whom no one in America is better qualified to speak on this subject, says: "It is the only place in North America where it is possible to make iron in competition with the cheap iron of England as measured, not by the wages paid, but by the number of days' labor which enter into the production. The cheapest place on the globe, until now, for the manufacture of iron is the Cleveland district, in Yorkshire, England. The distance of the coal and iron there from the furnaces is on an average twenty miles. In Alabama the coal and iron ore are in many places within halt a telle of each other. This region, so ex- haustless in supplies, so admirably fur nished with coal, so conveniently com municating with the gulf, will be of infinitely more consequence to us foi its iron than it has ever been for its cotton. The ore is a foundation of an industry and a prosperity which no curse of slavery nor rebellion nor inter ference with economical laws can ever overturn. I think this will be a region of coke-made iron on a scale greater than has ever been witnessed on the habitable globe." In the spring of 1883. before the American Institute .of Mining Engi neers, T. Sterry Hunt, of Montreal, read an exceedingly interesting paper, de scribing in most accurate terms the geological formation of the mineral region of Alabama. His conclusions are contained in the following state ments: "As regards the iron resources of this region we may note, in the first place, the proximity of the ore to the coal. With the limited exception of deposits of ore in the coal measures in the northwestern portion of the great Ohio basin, it is well known that the coal and the ore in the United States are really separated. Not to speak of the crystalline ores of the older rocks, the great supplies of limonite, upon which the iron-smelting industry of Pennsylvania and Virginia is largely based, present similar conditions. It suffices to look at a geological map of these States to see what a broad belt of mountainous country separates the limonite-bearing rocks of the great valley frem the coal measures ; while a very considerable interval also divides these from the fossil ores. Owing, as has already been explained, to the thin ning out of the rocks, which are reduced to less than one-tenth of their thick ness, and to the foct that those who per sist are for the most part soft and crumbling, we have seen how the ores and coal, so. widely separated elsewhere, are in Alabama brought into close proximity. Thus in Long Valley a dis tance of six or eight miles only sepa rates the coal fields from each other, while abundant deposits of both the red and the brown hematites are found in the interval between them. It is not surprising that this valley is rapidly be coming an important center of iron production, where coke-made iron can be produced more cheaply than any where else on this continent. "The remarkable dislocation and up throw already noticed as occurring on the southeast side of the Cahaba field, brings about a still closer approxima tion of iron Droducing materials by lift ing up the lower ore-bearing rocks side by side with the coal measures. Here on the banks of the Cahaba river de posits of limonite in great abundance and Durity are found extending over many hundreds of acres of surface, within two miles of opened beds of coking coal, while cliffs of pure, white limestone, well fitted fer flux, are seen within the same distance, it is imDos sible to look on all the developments of mat and rich iron ores, elsewhere so widely separated, and here brought into close proximity, without feeling that the Alabama coal fields are destined at nn distant dav to be toe seat or an 1m mense mining and manufacturing in dustry.

Ex-Senator Conklinjr expresses the opinion that the Democrats will elect the next President of the United States. Judge David Davis holds a similar pinion. The revenues of the State of Penn sylvania for the first ten months of the present year foot up $6,273,850.70, $237, 853.70 more than the estimates. The American Agriculturist asks if horse racing at fairs is necessary Judging from the prominent place it takes in the programmes we should think it was. Editors had better be careful how they speak about the physical get up of actresses. Miss King, who strides the stage, wants 850,000 from the Nashville. American, for saying that she was a small woman with a big nose and ugly Mr. John Sherman says that prohibi tion and the wool tax had much to do with the Republican defeat in Ohio. This was a remarkable discovery for Mr. Sherman. They undoubtedly had. He has, however, high hopes that Ohio will slide back into the Republican col umn next year. Washington Critic: "The State of Georgia refuses to, pay the funeral ex penses of Alexander H. Stephens after ordering a public funeral." There are three lines and two errors in this paragraph. The Legislature did pass a bill to pay the funeral expenses of Gov. Stephens, but did not erder a public funeral. At first the Legislature refused to pass a bill to pay the ex peases on account of exerbitant charges, but before adjourning did pass it. Philadelphia Press: "The rejection of the Civil Bights act by the Supreme Court of the United States has no po litical significance, of course; but every old mossback who occupies his time Lbetween drinks by yelling for A White Maa's Government will set it down as a glorious Democratic victory." It has no political significance, nor in a political sense is it a Democratic vic tory, yet it is a Democratic victory for it is an endorsement of the position of the Democrats in Congress who opposed the passage of that measure on consti tutional grounds. It is a victory for Democratic sense, Democratic argu ment and Democratic adherence to law. PROGRESS IN SWAIN. Anticipating the Irom HorseIncrease la the Value of Lands. To the Editor of The Observer. Swain County, Oct 16, 1883. As the work on the Western road progresses there is a corresponding im provement in the prospects and condi tion of this country. The line through this section under the live superinten dence of Captains Jones and McFarlane (thanks to the open weather that aids their well known skill in the great beon) promises to accomplish a thor ough and desirable revolution. The people are hopefully anticipating the snorting of the iron horse up and down these valleys, which, all geing well.will be a fact before eleven months have run their course. The known presence of metals is the general subject of in- Juiry and adds to the value of the lands, was talking to a large farmer here wno sold a biocK on nis land wno would not on any condition sell without a clause being introduced into tee deed giving him still absolute power over any minerals tnat should at any future time be found within its area. Capt Jones' company were working some few miles below Charleston in a cut and to the satisfaction of all there was found without a douDt rich ore that would well repay working. The price of land has risen so high that prospectors say the folks are mad in that they will not sell. Those who can hold shrewdly guess that although the price of land is far beyond waat could have been thought possible two years ago the in dications are that it will perhaps treble in value when the rush of adventurers comes. One point and I am done. Travellers in Colorado say that the hills and soil of that State 01 marvellous develop ment are just like North Carolina. Men who had lived in California were surprised at the resemblance and pre dict rich finds of precious metals in these hills. Cities of magnitude may yet nestle in this grand Switzerland of wealth, where uoa has so liberally De- stowed his treasures. W. W. THE CONFEDERATE BONDS. Pricking the Babble Blown by the Lon don Sharpers. As secretary of the "Confederate States Bondholder's Committee" from London, Mr J B Gelder addresses to the New York Herald a statement of the grounds on which foreign holders of the bonds issued by Congress of the Confederate States claim their equity to have the individual States recognize and repay them. He says : "It is asserted that the Confederacy who contracted the loans, having been dissolved, the bondholders have no ex isting debtor to look to. But the Con federacy acted for the States of which it was composed, and, therefore bound them legally and morally, severally and conjointly. Or do you seriously con tend that the individual partners of a firm are no longer liable for the debts of the partneisbip from the moment it is dissolved t Nobody will for a mo ment think of defending this theory, and yet the two cases are synonymous. "Much has been said about the Four teenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which is represented as an insurmountable obstacle to a recog nition of the Confederate debt. The argument that this very amendment is in direct conflict with the United States Constitution itself is answered in your columns by Mr John Lyons in the fol lowing manner: " 'The amendment was adopted only because it was repugnant to everything else in the Constitution, and was neces sary to embody in the form of supreme law the supreme will of the nation ex plained and vindicated by successful war.' But, although this may explain the metives which led the United States to introduce the Fourteenth Amend ment, it does not in the least prove its validity in law or morality, as it is one of the first principles of law that no debt can be cancelled without the con sent of the crediter." The Herald disposes of the plea of the bondholders in this wise : Any con gress of States or reDresentatives of States, except that held at Washington, is in contravention of the Constitution, ana its proneedinsrs cannot nave const! tutional validity. "No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance or confedera tion, sayBthe Constitution; and yet more specifically, "no State shall enter into an agreement or compact with an other State." Consequently, a' loan jnade by such a body that cannot have a legal existence, except in so far as the CopititutioQ of the United States is set FARMERS VS. OTHER CLASSES. Wh is to Blame 1 New Laws The Remedies Ample Union aad Con cert Required. Editor of the bserrer. The idea prevails that all other inter ests are opposed to those of the farmer class. Senator Vance, in his Greenville fair address.declaredthat: "The farmer was oppressed by the organization of all other interests and by hostile legis lation." And Captain J B Thigpeu, a noted Edgecombe farmer, in the last Farmer and Mechanic, proclaims that the North Caroliaa exhibit at Boston is worth more to the agriculture of the State "than all the acts of the last Leg islature combined." Now, if these gentlemen are right, it is time planters and farmers were up anddoing.preparatory for a fight against somebody. If they are right the truth should be proclaimed from the houre tops and the war waged to the knife. If they are wrong and in error, it is ruin ous to the very interests they profess to serve to be scattering broadcast the seeds of discontent and class prejudice. I de not propose at this time to dis cuss national legislation nor the condi tion of agriculture in general. I will remark, however, that the great grain amd stock growing regions of the North west and Southwest were never more prosperous. Immense portions of the extreme Northwest are being rapidly sown in wheat, while the exports of meat to Europe, 'espite hostile legisla tion abroad, was uever so great and profitable. Probably in these aspects there may be errors, which Senator Vance and Captain Thigpen might well look into. But my real purpose is to come nearer home. I claim that agriculture here at the South was never so hopeful, and that land-holders and land-tillers are better off than any other class of the community, if they only knew or could be induced to believe it for only a little spell. As a matter of fact, Southern capital is now going largely into farm ing and planting lands. Our people (as well they may since certain late rail road experiences) are getting sick of stocks and bonds. And many of our shrewdest and most practical young men are leaving the cities and towns for the more certain and rapid success of diversified farming. In all depart ments of trade and commerce there is a lUOfD IS nainful state of doubt and distrnstf p&iiuui a lata ui uuuu au ui8irusil Except for schools, churches and social life, few people can now afford to live in town. Almost every branch of busi ness in city and town is being over done, and soon the crash must come. Meantime the true farmer, the iadus trious, active, contented, wide awake young fellow, sees his "millions" in Southern soil. Look at Dickson, of Georgia. If only the politicians and the sore heads would let us alone, and not be so industriously and eternally seek ing to convince us of "our miserable estate ;" or rather if they would only tell us for awhile how to mend our roads, how to systematize our labor, and how to diversify our industries, tbey would do us far more good. What say you, Senator Vance and Captain Thigpen ? But even here there is hope. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, has lately written some capital articles on our roads and highways. And all will ad mit a great change for the better when so gallant and able a man can afford to devote his time and talents to such a subject. But again: Great injustice is done our late General Assembly. It passed many measures of much importance to agriculture, and Governor Jarvis and his board deserve high credit for their ; efforts to carry them out. And I here call attention to several acts of special interest to land-owners and farmers, and hope they will be rigidly enforced bythecourts. 1. An act to prevent the wrongful re moval of joint fences chapter 111. 2. An act to prevent tenants from at torning to others a misdemeanor chapter 138. 3. An act to prevent tenants from wrongfully or maliciously injuring the premises they occupy a misdemeanor chapter 224. (A new and highly ben eficial law. Read it at once !) 4. An alternative road law sure to open the way for the "Alexander" or some other good road measure chapter 234. 5. Specially "An act to protect farm ers'chapter 391. (Just the thing Sen ator Vance and Cantain Thiec-en want an act to prevent indiscriminate idle ness and vagrancy by recognizing the doubtful right of "posting lands." It is true tne act only specincany aeais witn those who ride and drive over other people's land,but in the end it will force road overseers to give us gooa nign ways, and probably "regulate labor." It is an ad-Vance. And a new idea is a erand thine. Justices of the peace have jurisdiction.) Now, if the farmers will only in a quiet way put their heads together and gradually work up to these and other laws on our statute books, there is no telling the future before us, especially here in North Carolina. A little more independence of thought, little stirring up of things in search of new ideas in dustrially, and a little return te the old ways of living within our means, and paying honest debts, is about all we really need. And we expect soon to find Governor Vance in his wonted good humor, and the Captain at his farm in Edgecombe. A Wokking Farmer. Tarring a Rat. Chambers Journal. Rats are wonderfully clean animals, and they dislike tar more, perhaps, than anything else, for if one gets on their jackets they find it most difficult to re move it. Now, I had heard it mentioned that pouring tar down at the entrance of their holes was a good remedy, also placing broken pieces of grass by their holes was another remedy. . But thse remedies are not effective. The rats may leave their old holes and make fresh enes in other parts of the houses ; they don't, however, leave the premises for good. I thought I would try another experiment one I had net heard of be fore. One evening I set a large wire cage rat-trap, attaching inside a most seductive piece of strongly smelling cheese, and next morning I found to my satisfaction, that I had succeeded in trapping a very large rat, one of the largest I had ever seen, which after I had besmeared him with tar, I let him loose into his favorite run. The next night I tried again, and succeeded in trapping another equally big fellow,ad served him in the same manner. I could not follow these tar-besmeared rats into their numerous runs, to see what would happen ; but it is reasonable to assume that either summoned together all the members of their community, and by their crestfallen appearance gave their comrades silent indications of the mis fortune which had so suddenly befallen them, or that they had frightened their brethren away, for they one and all for sook the place and fled. The experiment was eminently successful. From that day in 1875 till now, 1883. my house, an tvmiitrh it h bus hflftn entirely free from rats; and I believe that there is no renn-d v rqual to this one, if you Un otc.h votir ra' ilive.

HE 1R THE WITNESSES. Saved From a Horrible Death. Up to Hay last I had spent at least five hundred dollars for treatment by many of the best medical men, without any benefit. I suffered excrutlatlngly, and all my best friends advised me that the Icy hand of death was fast apploachlng. I caught at 8. S. S. like a drowning man at a straw After taking two bottles I could feel a change for the better. The soies began to discharge freely and the rheumatism to abate. When I had taken six bottles every sore had bealed and my skin began to as sume a natural appnaranoe.
