Six Thousand Three Hundred Acres Land.
The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron
Works beg to call the attention of eaDltahsts Iron
manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those
who wish to settle colonies, to their property, which
otters Inducements to the classes above named.
The property consists of Six Thousand Three
Hundred Acres of land, located In the counties of
Gaston and Cleaveland, In the State of North Car
oiina, 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 been worked at various
points, but chiefly 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, showing at that
denth ft vein of ore ahoirt 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
facts 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-
lore, ana wmcn win rnrmsn an amount oi 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 nnfl nlaM nWint 9fl fnAt Af w1n 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 line. In addition to this four
other vein have been found on this mountain.
The ore is a mottled gray ore. showing on analysis
from 49 to 66 per cent, of metallic iron, with a
smau amount of titanic acta, ana wltnout any sul
phur or phosphorus. . The quantity of ore in this
mountain is sunpiy inexnausume ana oi gooa
quality. .- - - - -- ' ' -
Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners Dossess
King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose
pinnacle Is the highest point of land from Rich
mond to Atlanta, except Mfc 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 Dure and ex
cellent barytese has lust been found In large quan
tity. - . . ", v .

- THB W1NTU DISTRICT.
There was an animated contest for
the nomination in the Congressional
conventiou Of; the ; Ninth District,
which met at Asheville last Thurs
day. Tho contestants were Gen.- K.
Vance, who has represented the
district for six terms; Thos. D. John
ston, of Buncombe; J. L. Robinson,'
of Macon. The strength was pretty
nearly equally divided between these
three. " After, the 20th ballot the con
vention took a recess until 8 :30 p. m. f
when Mr. James H. Merrimon was
placed in nomination, but the -name
was promptly withdrawn.' At 11:15,
after the 47th ballot, with but few
changes, tho convention , adjourned
till next day. At -9:30 Friday , the
balloting was resumed. On the 65th
ballot Gen. Vance withdrew his name.
The 60th ballot showed for Johnston
118 5-18, for Robinson 108 13 18. On
motion of Mr. Robinson, the nomina
tion of Mr. Johnston was; made unan
imous. Gen. Vance : addressed the
convention, expressing his great sat
isfaction at the result, and promising
the ticket his hearty support. - Mr.
M. H. Justice, of Rutherford, was

some men, who committed no crime.

according to the Critic, is "approved

Gen.. Scales then took up the mis
rule and mismanagement of the State
for" three years by the Republican
party, and showed how they had run
riot with the people's money, tram
pling the law and the people s rights
under foot statements which have
appeared time and again in these
columns. He then .compared: the
government of the State under the
administration - of - the 7 Democratic
party by; contrast with the Republi
can administration. His arraignment
of the Republican party was masterly
and conclusive. -
He said this is the record of the Re-
Eublican party for only three years.'
there anything, in it to draw men
to it. . If his competitor wanted to
draw men to him ho must show them
that thev could promote their inter,
ests. He could never do it by riding
rough shod over them with one hun
dred thousand negro voters at his
heelsu ; ' -"; "' - - .
He then showed that under Repub
lican mle the. State debt had been
piled mountain high. The Democratic
party liad proposed to compromise it
with the consent of the bondholders:
His competitor had voted against any
compromise. The Democratic party
liad. setthnl the debt. . Under their
inanagoinent the debt of the North
Citrolina Rcvilroad now pays tho in-i
tereston '-its own bonds. - The history
of i the Republican party through -all
that long period of Republican rule
tells rt talo that brings the blush to
the face of every .honest man in North
Carolina a tale of ; robbery and cor
ruption under-the rule of tho carpet
bagger, , tho scalawag and the black
man. that was enough to make ""high
heaven weep." It could not bepossi
ble that ;' his competitor would re
establish;; such a state of affairs.
There must , be some side show
to the -present Vcixmpaign. 'They
could still ; count on the vote of
the black - - man, . and Dr. .York
hoped, by deceiving a few .white
men, to ride into - office. Here Gen.
Scales again reverted to the rule of
the Republican party.-'-In 1870 they
spent 81, 117,160.40 ; in 1871 the Demo
crats came "into power and-pent
f 552,231.18, --r or i less than t half. , In
186S -9 the Republicans in the Legis
lature gave themselves $7.00 per day
for 304 days,.; and paid themselves
20c. mileage; The session came to an
end because there was - no more
money. In 1872-3 the expenses of a
Democratic - Legislature : was only
$169,396, as against $1,117,160.40 for
1868 9 under Republican rule.
The Republicans established or
mnintained no public charities, except '
the Insane and . l)e&t and Dumb
Asylums. , The Deinocrats, since com
ing into power, have ; completed the
penitentiary; they Have built
and maintained the Western Insane
Asylum y at Goldsboro. They have
built up the'Normal and free schools.
Under their management the -Wet
era North Carolina Railroad is in a
fair way to completion, and even now
the East and West have joined hands,
and the freights of .East Tennessee
and the great West are poured . over
the mountains into our laps. If these
facts cannot be denied, . he -. asked in
the name of our laws and our? institu
tions if there was any good: reason
why the State administration should
be surrendered again to the Kepuoii-
can party. , .Will you cowardly sacri
fice this fair mhentage s
Ho then took ' up,, the subject of
special tax '"bondd . and showed how
$20,000,000 of debt had been j made
under the Republican party, to build
rauroaas, ana not a inuo ol rauroauti
had been built; A leading newspaper
of the Republican party had declared
that it that party ever got control ot
the State government they' should be
paid; r The3 Democrat party .had put
an amendment to f the constitution
saying that , no part . of that debt,
ahould ever be paid. ; Which was the
party ot .the peopia i -. - -.
He then discussed the history of
the Western North Carolina Railroad
and ; showed iitsmanagement; under
both the Republican and Democratic
parties, audi eharged that. Yrk was
always found -voting against -any ap
propriations for.thi road. Its pres
ent highly prosperous condition was
due to the Democratic party. '
Une o the main issues in the can;
Vass -i was -ithe-i Question or. county
government. s-.He was not wedded to
the weseht system: neither was the
party, as declared by 4 the platform;
but it was the system 1 we1, had lived
under for a hundred., years, suntil
Chanced , bv the- .Canbv constitution:
iOUr fathers thought; it iWasj a gOod
why there should, m no chauge, and
that was the protection Of the eastern
counties in the State, -where, the black.
man was m the majority.- .The. pres
ent system -wa4Daue-urated in the
State Constitution at the formation of
the State, government. . The Consti
tution .was changed in 1863,; but it
wag not thought expedient to" make
a chance then. it was changed
again in.1854, and still there - was' no
change.-!r Its - wisdom i was approved
by Macon, iBadgerv- Mangum, M.ore-
head,1 Pearson, 4 Bragg and - Graham.
"These were all good men, - who lived
in the best 'days of the old vv big and
Democratic parties. " ; 3t 1 was good
enough; for- our- fathers,; 'and jit , was
good -enough for usuntii tne carpet-

: On the Question of - the & internal
revenue, Gen. Scales said lot 10 years
he had been trying to nave it abol
islied. V hen the lathers established
the government - they declared that
the Federal government should have
the benefit of customs, and the State
governments should have the benefit
of direct taxation. -Except as a war
measure there waa no system .of in
ternal revenue no still house spies
hunting up our , spring branches.
Internal revenue had become neces

war debt, but it wa3 repealed when
the exigency had been passed. An

after repealed.. The present ey stem
