Six Thousand Three Hundred Acres Land.
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 .which
oilers inducements to the classes above named.
Tlie proiierty consists of Six Thousand Three
Hundred Acres ol land, locate In the counties of
liaston 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
Bichniond aut 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 lor 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
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
fore, and which will furnish an amount of good
ore, easily worked and above water, that must
mane n one ot the most desirable Iron properties
tobelound. They have discovered on the pinnacle
of this mountain, which is 1000 feet above the level
land. 2aj feet above the sea leve', 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 21) feet, ot solid vein. This
vein can be traced over the top ol the mountain for
over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an
almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked,
and awve the water line. In addition to this four
other vein-, bi've been found on this mountain.
The ore 14 a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from 4Si to 65 per cent of metallic Iron, with a
sniail amount of titanic acid, and without any sul-
puui ui imuaimurus. i ue quauuiy Ol ore in Villa
mountain 1 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 Rlch-
luuira w 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
onck. gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex-

THE FRIEND OF THE LABORING
MAN.
The Republican party trumpets its
devotion to the interests of the labor
ing man, protection to the American
laborer being one of its favorite
slogans. It defends its high tariff
doctrines on the ground that high
tariff while it builds up American
industries also protects American
workmen from competition with the
cheap labor of Europe.
And yet nowhere in this country
have there been as many labor strikes
as in the very States which have
been most "protected' by high tariff
legislation, and nowhere Vas the
American laborer been treated with
less consideration. When the operan
tives in the New England mills object
to a reduction of wages, or demand
higher wages than they; receive, they
are informed that they can quit, and
their places are filled with cheap
labor imported from Europe and
from Canada, and thus the American
"protected" operatives are starved
into submission. At the present time
. , . ?n
a large numoer or tnese mius are
closed, it is alleged, on account of
overproduction, and thousands of
working men and women are thrown
out of employment and left without
the means of support.
In Pennsylvania, another of the
high tariff States, hundreds of miners
are striking against a reduction of
wages, brought about by the compas
nies importing Hungarian ana
Italian miners, who work for less
wages than the others can live upon.
These labor troubles led to an attack
by some of the strikers on the miners
who were taking their places, and to
wholesale arrests of miners without
warrants. In one place a number of
the wives of these arrested miners
with babies in their arms sought the
officers and piteously pleaded to be
taken to jail with their husbands, as
they had nothing to eat in their
homes. What a picture is this in a
protected State, a Republican State,
whose leaders have been boasting of
their friendship for and interest in
the laboring man. Reduced to the
point of starvation, not that the in
dustries in which they are employed
may be kept alive, but that the capi
talists who own them may make
more money, and wfien in despera
tion they resort to force unauthorized
by law they are pounced upon by
officers of the law and without war
rant forced into, jails, in tRe presence
of wailing wives wildly itrmloring not
to be left to starve with their help
less childrf n. While this is going on,
and these Republican employers are
causing the arrest of these unfortu
nate workers, deprived of em
ployment, Blaine, Stephen Elkins
and the Republican bosses are levy
ing contributions on Federal em
ployees and the faithful for funds to
corrupt voters, defeat the will of the
people and keep the Republican party
in power..
Out on the hypocrisy that prates
of friendship for the American
worker and imports the pauper labor
of the old world to reduce him to
peonage. What admirable impu
dence to ask the working man to
work and vote to perpetuate the
power of a party which sees all this,
makes no effort to remedy it, and
yet shamelessly poses as the es
pecial friend, protector and cham
pion of the American toiler. Its
nrof essed friendship for the worker
is a monstrous lie. v
Mr. J. B. Gardiner, wh,o,haa oharge
of campaign matters in New England
for the Democratic party, says that
Butler will hurt Blaine more than
Cleveland in Massachusetts, that he
will carry the anti Cleveland Demo
crats who would otherwise vote for
Blaine. He further says that the
Prohibition leader in that State told
him that St. John would get 20,000
vote's in Massachusetts, and that he
exnected Cleveland would carry the
i -
State.
Rufus C. Triplett, an old line Re
publican of Wilkes county.announces
himself as a candidate for the .Legis
lature,; and in doing so gives as one
of bis reasons that the nominatiqn of
Dr. York for Governor, by the. reve
nue ring js ein insult tQ the J$epubli -
can party of the State, ana tne so?
called coalition dangerous, to the best
interests of the Republican party.
The people" of . Indiana are to be
treated to three hundred, speeches
next Saturday, both parties opening
the campaign all along the line on
that day. Such a whirlwind of cams
paign talk would drive Unpeople of
any other State to aosoiuie aiyr
The NewTbrk Sun remarks : ?'WhO
can tell -from Gov. Cleveland's utter
ances; up to the present time,' what
measures of national legislation he
would judge necessary or expedient!?
lie will make that known in his ' first
message to Congress.
IIALSTEAD'S PAPER.
Murat Halstead has gone from Cin
cinnati to New York to start an
illustrated . paper in advocacy of
Blaine. How they propose iu part to
sustain this journalistic enterprise is
shown by the following dispatch
from Washington : :
"A large number of clerks in one
of the government departments re
ceived by yesterday's mail at their
offices a circular, mailed in New
York, signed by B. F. Jones, chair
man of the Republican national com
mittee, soliciting subscriptions for an
illustrated campaign paper. The
paper is expected to be published
thirteen weeks and the price is one
dollar.. Accompanying the circular
is a blank form addressed to the pro-
esed publisher, guaranteeing a num
r of subscriptions to the , newspa
per, to be stated by the signer. The
circular bore the New York post
mark, but its delivery was made by
a messenger, who called the clerks
to the door of the department rooms
and delivered them in person."
The government employees are not
only expected to subscribe for that
paper, but also to become canvassing
agents for it.
Tammany Hall will stand by Cleve
land, and John Kelly will have too
much sense to kick against Tarn many.
John without Tammany would be
nihil in the political puddle.
The Republican revolt against Ma
hone is spreading in Virginia. Gov.
Cameron and Col. Sims began the
Kicking, and now tnere is quite a
large number of kickers, white and
black, who have become tired of his
bossing.
Mr. Blaine invited a somewhat
lively time when he sued the Indian
apolis Sentinel man, who says that
he will insist not only upon the pres
ence of Mr. Blaine, but of Mrs. Blaine,
also, at the trial. But that trial will
never take place,
Does the New York Sun consider
Blaine out of the race, and Cleveland
the only competitor of its candidate,
Butler? From the large amount of
attention it gives Cleveland, and the
small amount it gives Blaine, it would
seem so.
We are in receipt of a circular from
the committee for the collection-of
funds to complete the pedestal for
th9 "Statue of Liberty Enlightening
the World," to be placed in New
York harbor. They still need $125,
000. Contributions may be sent H. F.
Spaulding, treasurer, 55 Liberty st.,
New York.
Philadelphia Times: All talk of
the declination of cither Cleveland or
Blaine is only the babble of petty
party organs . The people will decide
the question in November, and then
one ot cne candidates named win aes
oline to attend the inauguration of
the next President, and it begins to
look as if Mr. Blaine might be absent
on that interesting occasion.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said to
an interviewer Monday , "You may
say that Henry Ward Beecher wishes
that Cleveland defeat Blaine by
such a majority as shall terroriae
any man with such a notoriously bad
public record as isiaine s rrom ever
assuming to be so foolhardy as to
run for such a high office as that of
President of the United States for
fifty years."
Washington Critic: "When Mr.
Blaine goes out to Indiana to testify
in his libel suit against the Indianap.
olis Sentinel he will probably make a
few speeches. If he does he will set
the State on fire.' There is a business
look about this whole libel suit pro
gramme. This blending of the de
fense of hi wife's assailed honor and
stump speaking is not very credita
ble to Mr. Blaine.

Louisa Taylor, sjajteHr. ox : Mrs.
Chouteau and daughter of the late
Geo. A. O.BylQrl a very wealthy and
well known citizen of St. Louis, was

by her family, did enter t&e convent
of the visitation, rnor to this, how
ever, she voluntarily; conveyed - her
property, estimated to . be worth
$ 100,000, to her sister Ida, then un
married, under a written agreement
that she expected to . take - monastic
vows with the order of St. Francis
de Sales, but should she not do so on
entering and afterwards severing her.
T A 1 A , . Al ' ' V f
connection wjin ne. oraer, ne prop

months ago Miss Taylor left the con
vent and announced, it is said, that
she had withdrawn from the order,
and asked for the restoration of- her
property. - Her sister, suspecting the
sincerity of her act, demurred to giv
ing back the property and Miss Tay lor
soil to recover.- mrs. unouteau, not
desiring to enter into litigation, re-
conveyed the property and a short
