The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the attention of capitalists iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those who wish to settle colonies, to their property.whlch oilers inducements to the classes above named. The property consists of Six Thousand Three Hundred Aires of land, located In the counties of (iaston and Cleaveland, In the State of North Car ollna, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Richmond and Danville railroad company. The property has been used for fifty years past as an iron property, and has oeen worked at various points, but ohieny at the site of the celebrated' VelloW Ridge Ore' Bank, blch has always yielded an ore noted for Its richness in metallic Iron, and Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends tor two miles In length, has been worked to the depth of 17 feet, shewing at that de)th a vein of ore about 'W feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic Iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but tbe facts set forth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within tbe 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-before, and which will furnish an amount of good ore. easily worked and above water, that must make it one 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 almoat inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and abov the water 11ns. In addition to this four other veins 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. Tbe quantity of ore In this mountain Is simply inexhaustible and , good quality, Beside Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle Is the highest polnt-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 fire-proof brick, gold and other minerals. . very pure and ex cellent barytese has Just been found 1b large quao- t.tv. .-v as a stock and dairy farm K offers fine dpportu nitles to those who may wish to engage In sues bus iness, n has from three to four thousand acres of level or only slightly rolling land, which produce grass, grain and all kinds Of farming products finely, and It Is well 8upnU4d with water by tmfall ng springs and branches f .

The Senate of the United States has the reputation of being a digjbified body, tjutit does; noli follow tit i deserves thjit reputation, hbr thit al ita members are dignified. The Senate is not quite as noisy a body as the House of Representatives, perhaps for the reasons that-thereaare not so many of them to make noise, but when it comes to throwing dirt and indulging in blustering nonsense ther are some of the grave vad reTefehrj! seignors who can get away with the average member of the lower house and give him odds The last exhibi tion of this kind, at which the gal leries must have been highly amused, whether the listening Senators were or not, was the wordy encounter.be tween Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, and Senator Brown, of Georgia, in which they reciprocally charged each other with a niggardly econpmy.pf the attributes that cpBStitut the man of courage or the gentleman. Ingalls said Brown took dishonest liberties with the Record Iti interpolating sen tences intd a published : speech in the Record that he would not have dared to utter in the presence of the mighty man from Kansas, and' characterized this liberty as forgefy.''; Brdwh choked his rage, and to' prevent it from car ry ing . him . away ha wrote down what he, .had to say. .and. read it next day. The sum and substance of the written reply was that he didn't do what Ingalls charged, that he waen1 afraid of Ingalls, and that Ingalls took a-cbwaMly groledttoh as'& Serf ator to utter offensive words and charges that he would not dare to utter outside of the Senate To this Ingalls reto-ted by not only reitera ting whdfcj hOjhacl charged, but by adding much offensive talk to it, and informing Mr. Brown that he scorned to screen himself behind the protec tion of the Senate, that he was per sonally and individually responsible for everything uttered, and that Mr. Brdwh'could have any satisfaction' he' hflgef ed for: He subsided "At" this? The Senate breathed easier, ' and ' fhe galleries were instantly half emptied, bttt nobody was hurt. The only re sult so far is that two Senators per mitted themselves to become very mad, to expose themselveig.-and the Senate "to ' ndifcufe- and ,j to i afford amusement to the galleries, and now that it is all over, nobody believes that either of the distinguished gen tlemen is any more or less ieourage pus than he was when they began jto pelt each other with such missiles as their vocabulary afforded, nor ,tbat either'was very thtrsty for the otter's ,gore. it was simply an exhiwtion of bad temper, bad taste, and a lack of dignity unbecoming in any assem blage, much less i a body; assuming to be as dignified aSitb United States Senate. This is warm weather, how ever, and perhaps tho-tea'' the Sen- tors sip is not all cold. . A man named Brechtel, living near Mitchell, Dakota, was accused of murdering : bis ' neighbor, ' John Schmidt. The citizens of the place, nearljnaH CrermknSj' seized him, tied stones around his neck and threw him into a river. A few daya after Schmidt' timed up -in 'Minnesota, whereupon the lynchers apologized to the drowned man's widow. 1 i Mr. Wattersoh keeps peggihgaway on his favorite hobby.

If your columns are open to sug gestions, permit me to. suggest , that thefc most imjportant position to be filled by tie Democratic! Cpivention:, next week is that of Superintendent of Pubhc Instruction. t In our enthu siasm ever, other positions it is pOssi- ble that we may overlook the impor tance attaching , to . this positi6n; I have no personal interest at stake in favoring the nomination of Professor Tomhnsoni, of Winston, who is now in the prime and enthusiasm of his manhood and is the best furnished educator in North Carolina. By study and travel he has" thoroughly equipped vhimselft;. - He is oow nt Chapel Hill in charge of the Nortnal, where he - is doing more .'than any other dozen men in the State for the duc4tionc&u& Were, it left to the 50O teachers who will be under his charge for the next month, he would doubtless be the unanimous choice. They know and appreciate his worth. The position, demands a man abreast with the times in thought, methods, culturo and enthusiasm. The Wilson and Winston graded schools are his results. He will accept, I learn, if nominated. As between him and our erring - if not presumptuous young friend,' francis D. Winston, the result would be settled in advance. ; Voter. florae t the Soafederate Setdters. ' ;ti GRESaisBOito',' N. C. , June IT. ToUwdltorTHsOBSEaviB., Four; bags of 'cprn frpni;, F 'rJN.

Baltimore Day. . ,. . , . A recent visitor to the battle elds of King's Mountain and the Cowpens in South Carolina reports that the 1 monuments placed there many years ago are ruined by relic hunters. The facing of the Cowpens monument, "Erected by the; Washington Light Infantry of Charleston in 1856," is nearly all gone : the eround . , has grpwn up to forest . and soon there will be nothing to mark the spot where one of the most important, events of our Revolutionary history took place. A monument in honor of Morgan's victory has been erected by Congress and the State .of. South Carolina, assisted by other States, -at Spartanburg sixteen ; miles distant, but this cannot identify . the - place where the battle occurred. On the King's Mountain battlefield there is a monument, placed there at the., time of the centennial celebration in Opto-, ber, 1880, which is untouched by" the spoilers as yet, and is likely tp'.bey. as i fa pf rough granite at the base and of such sise aa to repel tbe inclination, to chip off keepsake pieces, , but : the Ferguson Chrohide monument erect-, mtWj.'!dndV CJturonicleV oy.d and J other Americans killed in, the battle I were buried, is so far .destroyed as to be worthless as a moaument. . The mspriptions pn neither side can be read and the face qf pne side is nearly all hacked off and .carried., away, Surely here is a little patriotic work for the South Carolina Historical .'Society or the Washington Light In- lantrv, or both, to do m preserving for all time these two interesting spots of our Revolutionary history. No-doubt Congress would lend a help ing hand, as it has in so many simi- ar instances. Wonders Prom an Egyptian Tomb. Lady Brassey In Qood Word?. .
