) The owners of The Crowtler's Mountain Iron
Works beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron
UiaQutacturers, stock and dairy men, and those
niio wish to settle colonies, to their property .which
offers inducements to the classes above named.
The property consists of Six Thousand Three
Hundred Acres of land, located In the counties of
Uastun and Ueaveland, In the State of North Car
(mm. at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta
and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the
kichuiond un: Danville railroad company. The
property has been used for fifty years past as an
iron pioperty, and has been worked at various
points, but chlehy at the site of the celebrated
fellow 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,
wiilcH 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
jeirs very large deposits of Iron ore have been dls
toTered 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
oi3ke It one of the most desirable Iron properties
tot found. They have discovered on the pinnacle
of this mountain, which Is 10U0 feet above the level
land, -Hi) feet above the sea leve. a vein of ore
eight teet wide, which crops out at various points
frura the Uip to the bottom of the mountain, show
ing in one place about 2U 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 line, in addition to this four
other vein b?ve 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
duality.
Besides 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 ML Airy, to Georgia, and
the; have reason to believe this mountain & 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 In large quan-

TWO SUICIDES.
The town of New Brunswick, New
Jersey, was thrown into wild excite
ment Monday by the report of the
bankrupt condition of the National
Bank, followed shortly after by the
suicide of the president, who, ; it
seems, was a very popular and highly
esteemed citizen. He went to the.
bauk in the morning in hi3' carriage,
accompanied by his two daughters,
and sent a message by them to his
wife that if not back at the . usual
time he would be at the bank. He
sent out for a copy of the New York
Tlm3 containing the story of his
complicity with Cashier Hill in swin
dling the bank, threw ' the paper
down, remarked "My God, what will
my family think when they read
this," and then excusing himself to
the directors present passed out into
the toilet room. In a few minutes a
heavy fall was heatd, and rushing
out the directors found the body of
President Runyon on the floor, a
frightful gash in his throat "and both
wrists cut and the blood spurting to
the ceiling. It seems that he was a
victim of misplaced confidence in the
cashier, who but a few days ago,
when it became no loDger possible
to conceal his thieving, put an end to
his life by- poison. He had speculated
in Wall street and in addition to this
was an enthusiastic Republican, con
tributing liberally to campaign
funds, and but recently put up a
large sum of money to start a Repub
lican paper. One of the publishers
skipped the city to avoid a libel suit,
and the paper went up with all the
money he had put into it. Thus, by
speculating in Wall street and in
his zeal for the Republican party, he
got away with from $225,000 to $250,
000 of the money of the depositors of
the bank, ruined hundreds of people,
and sent himself and the president,
who trusted him, to suicides' graves.
Bank failures are not infrequent,
but they are not often followed with
such tragic results.
A valued correspondent from Dan
ville, Va., thinks our Democratic
State committee should . pursue the
same course as the Democratic com
mittee in Virginia does and refuse to
hold joint canvasses with the Repub
lican candidates. Joint canvasses
have been the custom in this State,
and the Democratic party gains by
them for they bring out the people
and warm up the campaign. They
bring out a fuller vote at the elec
tions and the larger the vote always
the larger the Democratic majority.
There are features about, these joint
canvasses sometimes which we do
not like, among these the personali
ties that are sometimes indulged in
and ought not be permitted to become
a part of the discussions. Early: in
the campaign in this State Dr. York
made the mistake of- beginning this
kind of warfare, but up to the prest
ent writing has got rather the worst
of it.
Texas is a great State, is growing
greater every day, and polls about
100,000 Democratic majority. Finan
cially she is on the top rung of the
ladder. " She has in her treasury
altogether to the credit of all ao
counts $1,106,271 in cash and $6,241,
839 in bonds, a total of $7,348,110,
besides several million dollars in . the
land notes of the school, : university
and asylum funds. The State debt is
about $4,000,000, owned almost
wholly within the State and generally
to special funds. When - the Demo
crats, ten years ago, took possession
of the State government they found
in the treasury $36,078 belonging to
the general revenue, and a half mil
lion of unpaid ; State warrants out
standing, that's all.

The nomination of the legislative
and county ticket completes the list
of candidates to be voted for by jthe
people in the coming election, and
now the ball can open all along . the
line. Whom "our friends ' the ene
my" are to put up against this ticket
is still among the things unknown.
but they will probably-be . trotted out
in due time. : In : the meantime the
work of organizing our forces in the
county should begin at once and in
earnest! Clubs should be at once
formed in every township and the
nameof every Democratic voter en
rolled, and the status of every voter,
whether Democrat, Republican or
doubtful, ascertained. This will re
quire some work, but a few energetic,
active mien in each neighborhood, co
operating with the township commit
tees, can do it with little labor and
without consuming much time. If
the party be organized as it should
be and can be we could tell a week
before the election within a very
small figure of what our vote and
that of our opponent would be, and
and know exactly whether the great
er or lesser effort would be required.
All we want to insure a grand vic
tory on the day of election is a large
vote, and organization, with the en
thusiasm which follows organization
and an active campaign, is the way
to bring out that vote. We ought to
be able to carry this State by 25,000
majority, and we can do it if every
Democrat casts his vote and does his
dutj before and on the day of elec
tion. Let the result in November be
not only a Democratic victory but a
Republican rout. ..

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.
Editor of The Observer.
Tn a rflnent issue of the OBSERVER
appears a statement that Mr. J. B.
iiartman claims tne "nonor ana
credit" of arresting the mule thief,
Nelson Young. Now in the first
place, there is very little honor at
tached to it, ana a man certainty ue
serves no credit for simply doing his
duty. But if you will allow me, I
will show you that Mr. Hartman de
serves neither honor nor eredit ; these
are the facts in the case: J. B. Hart
man swapped a horse to the negro,
Young, for a mule, the negro promis
ing Jlartman $iu to dooi. rte men

brought the ox to town and sold, or
attempted to sen mm to a Duicner.

asked the negro to pay the ten dollars
which the negro promisea to ao as
soon as he sold the ox., I found out

Mrs. Winslow' Soothing; Syrup
Hev. Svlvanus Cobb thus writes in the Boston
Christian freeman : We would by no means recom
mend any kind of medicine which we did not know
to be good particularly for infants. But of Mrs.
Wlnslow's Soothing -Syrup we can speak from
knowledge; in our own family it has proved a bless
ing inaeea, Dy giving an lmant trouDiea witn cone
pains quiet sleep, and the parents unbroken rest at
night. Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it affords the
Infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub
awakes as "bright as a button." And during the
E recess of teething Its value is incalculable. We
ave frequently heard mothers say that they would
not be wlthoutl t from the birth of the child till it
had finished with the teething setge on any consid
eration whatever. Sold by all druggists. 26 cents

patronizes SOZODONT because It perpetuates and
Increases the most Important Item In the sum of
loveliness, beauty of teeth. Let the mouth be ever
so small, a very Cupid's bow, if tilled with discol
ored teeth It Is repulsive. Whitened and preserved
with this dentrlfice, the teeth form a delightful
contrast to the roseate hue and lovely curve of a
pretty mouth. SOZODOMT is far preferable to
gritty tooth powders.
Avert Aeue Cure, when used ac ordine to direc
