The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron 10 Works beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those who wish to settle colonies, to their property .which oilers inducements to the classes above named. The property consists OI (six Thousand Three Hundred Acres of land, located In the counties of (.astou and Cleuveland. in the State of North Car oilna. at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Richmond anC Danville railroad company. The property has been used for nrty years past as an Iron property, and has oeen worked at various points, but chletly at the site of the celebrated Yellow Ridge Ore-Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness In metallic iron, and its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends for two miles In length, has been worked to the depth of 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic Iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the f.icts set forth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very large deposits of iron ore have been dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (five veins of iron ore, are exposed), which were unknown be fore, and which will furnish an amount of good ore, easily worked and above water, that must make It oue of the most desirable Iron properties to be found. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which is 1000 feet above the level land. 2200 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore eight feet wide, which crops out at various points from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show ing in one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water Hue. In addition to this four other veiiio have been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to 65 per cent, of metallic Iron, with a small amount of titanic acid, and without any sul phur or phosphorus. The quantity of ore in this mountain is simply Inexhaustible and of good quality. Beside Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle Is the highest point of land from Rich mond to Atlanta, except Mt. Airy, In Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain Is full of ore also. In addition to Iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making lire-proof brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex cellent barytese has just been found In large quan tity. As a stock and dairy farm it offers fine opportu nities to those who may wish to engage In such bus iness. It has from three to four thousand acres of level or only slightly rolling land, which produces grass, grain and all kinds of farming products tinely, and it is well supplied with water by unfall ng springs and branches The other 4,000 acres embraced In the moantaln sides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and allord excellent natural pasturage for sheep and cattle. The climate Is so mild that but little shel ter for stock Is needed lathe coldest winters. The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a line growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, cedar, etc. The and Is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to colonize. Cotton, corn, peas, oats, clover and grass, and fruits of all kinds are produced beautifully ,and it Is specially suited to grapes and small fruits. It could be divided into small farms that would give to each farm variety of soil, and level and hilly and. It Is situated In the Piedmont belt, which is noted for the salubrity of Its climate, and the healthiness of Its atmosphere. It Is a region free from malaria and other unhealthy Influences. It Is located with great convenience to railroad facili ties, being situated at from two to four miles from King's Mountain Station, on a railway that has the most extensive connections with all parts of the country, and which offers great Inducements to those who are trying to develop the country along its lines. The owners will sell this property to suit purchasers, as follows: The whole tract, Including mineral lnterests.for Sixty three Thousand Dollars, or will make favorable terms, reserving the min eral interest, or will sell one-half the mineral In terest, payments to be one-third cash, balance In one or two years. A valuable water power, which has been used to run large rolling mills, lies adjacent to this prop erty, and can be bought cheaply. The property is also in close proximity to the famous All Heallns Mineral Springs, and to the widely-known Cleve- lana springs. L Tha ..... ..

Since the organization of the Re -publican party no ticket ever pre sented by it has met with anything like the dissatisfaction and open re volt that the nomination of Blaine and Logan meets with. It is not confined to any section. Represen tative journals and representative men, who heretofore have been the most vigorous champions of the Re publican party, who have stood by it in all its battles and supported all its candidates from Lincoln to Garfield, are open and unmeasured in their denunciation of it. Among the inde pendent and Republican journals that have thus far condemned and announced their purpose to oppose it are the Herald, New York; Times, New York; Union, Brooklyn; Times, Philadelphia ; Herald, Boston ; News, Buffalo; Eagle, Reading, Pa; Truth, New York; Telegram, New York; Transcript, Boston; News, Chicago; Times, Flushing, L. I.; Harper's Weekly, New York; Herald, Roches ter; Post, New York; Record, Phila delphia; Staats Zeitung, Chicago; Republican, Springfield ; Advertiser, Boston; Express, Buffalo; Herald, Chicago; Gazette, Worcester; News, Newport, R. I. ; Independent, New York ; Spy, Worcester ; Baptist Week ly, New York; Westliche Post, St. Louis, all leading and powerful jour nals. There are others which, while regretting the nominations, profess a willingness to support them, not as a matter of choice,- but in obedience to party allegiance, as they say, to save the party. They give it not a cordial but a cold and forced support. It is possible that some of these revolting journals may before the end of the campaign be brought into lin8, but the majority of them have been so plain spoken and so vigorous in their denunciation of the ticket and of the platform, and so unreserved in their declaration that they intended to fight it out to the end, that we do not see how they can swallow their words and stultify themselves by doing what they now urge everybody else not to do. Mr. Blaine's friends affect to treat this widespread revolt lightly, even with contempt, and with the seeming audacity characteristic of their lead er, maintain that they can elect their men in spite of it. But this is bravado. They don't mean it. They know better. They know that with a revolt like this, if the leaders of it are stead fast to the end, Blaine and Logan are doomed to hopeless defeat, unless gains can be made in States that are now Democratic to offset this defec tion. In this dilemma they are turning their attention to West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Car olina and Florida, where they have been led to believe something may be accomplished by a vigorous campaign and the free use of "soap." They count on the solid colored rote in each of theseJStates to begin with, and then hope to divide the white vote on the Greenback issue in West Virginia, by tho Coalition programme in North Carolina, and by the tariff in the others, on the presumption that the Democratic party will so commit itself on this question as to create defection in the Democratic ranks. Thus far they have only hope and Republican assurances to go upon, but that they will work these States with all the cunning of which they are possessed, and with all the appliances within their reach, in cluding "soap," there is no doubt. Unless the Democrats of these States are caught napping, unless there be some very foolish or some very culpable management on the part of the leaders at Chicago on the 8th of July, and of the party leaders in these States, the hopes of Mr. Blaine's strikers will be unrealized, their labor wasted, and their "soap" thrown away. ' REPUDIATING THE PARTY. The Goldsboro"4Mes8enger editorial ly announces that Maj. Wm. A. Smith, of Johnston county, at one time a leader and a powerful one in the Republican party, repudiates the Blaine ticket and the Coalition ticket put up by the managers in this State, and will henceforth: act with the Democracy. "I am not in politics," the Major says in a private letter to the editor of the Messenger, "and I have not been actively so for several years; neither do I take my present position for the purpose of seeking an office or flattery from the Democratic party, for I know of no office that I would accept, and at my time of life I care little for empty flattery." Possibly the platform to be adopted by the Democratic convention when it meets at Chicago may not meet popular expectation in every particu lar, but in this respect it cannot well fall behind the omnium gatherum concern concocted by the Republican convention7 - - ;c , , THE IS. C. CON FEDERATE HOME. Statement of President Ueasley as to the Plan of Operations and What is to be Done. Raleigh, N. C, June 11, 1884. To the People of North Carolina: The Confederate Home Association of North Carolina was organized at Charlotte on May 20, 1884, for the purpose of raising means and estab lishing in North Carolina a suitable home for such of our soldiers as may be found unable to maintain them selves by reason of wounds, disease or age. The Association elected the follow ing directors: Gov. Thos. J. Jarvis, Gen. R. F. Hoke, Gerr. Alfred M. Scales, Gen. Rufus Barringer, Capt. E. R. Stamps, Lieut. Thos. G. Skin ner, Maj. Elias Carr, Col. Wharton J. Green, Capt. Octavius Coke, Col. John A. Gilmer, Senator Z. B. Vance, Col. R. F. Armfield, Maj. W. A. Graham and Capt. Jas. L. Robin son. The Hon. Joseph J. Davis of Frank lin county, with State Treasurer J. M. Worth, and Julian S. Carr, of Durham county, were elected Trus tees. The duties of the Trustees is to re ceive, at the end of each month, from the Treasurer, all moneys in his hands and to safely keep the same, subject to the joint action of the Di rectors, Trustees and President. Samuel. C. White, cashier of the State National Bank, Raleigh, N. C, has been made Treasurers and Charles W. Lambeth, Secretary All contributions in money should be forwarded to the Treasurer, and all other communications should be addressed to the President of the As sociation, Raleigh, N. C. The amount required to carry out the plans of the Association is one hundred thousand dollars, and the hope is entertained by the Directors and President that every dollar of this sum will be contributed by the people of North Carolina. Various ways are practicable and pleasant for the raising of this mon ey, and we hope everybody will cheerfully and enthusiastically en gage in aiding, in soue manner, this noble and greatly needed charity. Organizations in every part of the State should be formed for collecting money, and every contribution otter ed should be gratefully accepted. It will only require an average of ten cents from each white person in the State to build and fully equip the Home. Every five cents contributed will make and place at least one brick in the Home. To collect an average of ten cents from each white person would prove an easy task if the people generally, or the old sol diers and ladies, will organize in each township and earnestly undertake the work. No form of organization is necessary ; simply meet, agree to work and go to work and it will not require very long for us to raise the sum needed to provide for our unfortunate defenders. Can you not, and will you not, organize at once, and collect this money before the State Exposition that we may have ine aoume exnimuon in ucroDer oi our grand resources and of our char acter as a great ana generous people? The men at the head of this Associa tion have been honored by you in many ways and on many occasions, but I venture to. say no prouder mo ment has ever occurred, or will ever occur, in their lives than will be that one which witnesses the laying of the corner stone of this Home that is to shelter and support our needy and deserving veterans. When a sufficient amount has been contributed the Trustees, Directors and President will meet, select a site and plan and commence the erection of the Home. Shall this time be in 1 8841 It rests with you to decide this question and to you I commit its an swer, trusting and believing that you will prove yourselves as good and noble in this instance as you have always done when the lame, the halt and the blind have appealed to you for charity. What more can I say? I know not ; for if the aged and trem bling forms, the diseased and crippled conditions of these veterans, whose limbs lie buried on fields made famous by their peerless conduct as North Carolinians, do not appeal with suffi cient force to arouse your generosity in their behalf, no words I could write will ever bring you to a proper realization of their just and merited claims. W. F. Beasley, President. COLONEL BEASLEY S CREDENTIALS. Washington, May 13, 1884. Col. W. F. Beasley, Oxford, N. C: Dear Sir Your plan for raising funds for a "Confederate Soldiers' Home" in North Carolina is, we be lieve, feasible, and we earnestly trust that it may be pushed to a successful consummation. We are in hearty accord with you and promise you our hearty co-operation. We regard you as eminently fit for the patriotic work in which you are engaged, and commend you to the people of North Carolina. Z. B. Vance, M. W. Ransom, Risden T. Bennett, A. M. Scales, W. R.

Beasley's plan for establishing a Confederate Home, I can say I be lieve he has the intelligence to organ ize such plan, and the energy and push to carry it out.
