The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron 16 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 offers inducements to the elasses above named. The property consists of Bix Thousand Three Hundred Acres of land, located In the counties of Gaston and Cleaveland, In the State of North Car uiiua. at King's "Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Ricluuond and Danville railroad company. The property has been used for rUty years past as an iron property, and has oeen worked at various points, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated Yeilow 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 tor two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 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 tacts set lorth can be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two fears 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 h which were unknown be fore, 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 tobelouud. They have discovered on the pinnacle ol this mountain, which Is 1000 feet above the level land, 2AU leet 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 m 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 orer-eashy worked, and above the water ine. In addition to this four other veina bive been found on this mountain. The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 to bo per eent of metallic Iron, with a small amount of titanic actd, and without any sul phur or phosphorus.- The quantity of ore In this mountain is simply Inexhaustible and of . good Quality, Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess King's Mountain, fur 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 fire-proof brick, gold and other minerals: - Very pure and ex cellent barytese has just been found iu large quan- 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 lour thousand acres of litel at onlv Hlli'htlv rolling bind, which produces crass, grain and all kinds of farming products jtneiy, and it is well supplied witn water oy uniau- ag springs and branches The other 4.000 acres embraced in the mountain Ides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and iHord excellent natural pasturage for sheep and cattle, The climate is so mild that but little shel ter tor stock Is needed In the coldest winters. The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a fine growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, cedar, etc The ,land Is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to colonize, cotton, corn, peas, oats, clover and grass, and traits 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.

PROGRESS OF SOUTHERN JOUR. , NALISM. The newspapers of a town or city axe an unerring index of the push, prosperity and growth of the places in which they are published and of the communities for which they speak. It sometimes happens that the paper is ahead of the community, but generally speaking, in growth and prosperity, they go together. : ; When you take ud a paper and find it filled with reading matter, the latest news, with a liberal supply of fresh, live advertisements, it is safe to say that the people among whom that paper is published are a live people and that they don't let grass grow in their streets. Within the past few years the Southern press has made marvelous progress, in keeping if not in advance, of the remarkable business and in dustrial progress in the South. Our leading papers are no longer provin cial papers, or the organs of a few men or of political cliques. They aspire to be great papers, not only of State circulation and influence, but of national range. Asjevidence of this we might point td the New Or- eans Times-Democrat, one of the best papers on the continent, the Galveston News, the Savannah (Ga.) News, the Augusta Chronicle, the Atlanta Constitution, the Macon Telegraph and Messenger, the Louis ville Courier Journal, the Richmond iVa.) Dispatch, and the Charleston News and Courier, which take rank among the first journals of the coun try, and not only hold their own in competitive enterprise, but somtimes lead their Northern competitors. Some of the issues of the New Or- eans Times-Democrat are marvels of industry, research and enterprise, being complete histories of the indus trial progress of the Southern States, while the trade issues of the Savan nah News, Augusta Chronicle, At- anta Constitution, and Charleston News and Courier would do credit to any journal published in this country. As an evidence that all this is appre ciated by the communities in which these papers are published, they are all in a flourishing condition and are constantly adding to their attractive ness and increasing their faculties to keep up with the demands of the times. " ' Not loug ago the Atlanta Constitu tion moved into its new building, constructed for its especial use, and put in new presses with all the latest improvements, and issued on the 1st instant a mammoth edition, contain ing forty four pages, made up of ad vertisements, historical sketches, &c. of the business enterprises and man ufacturing industries of that flour ishing city. This was a triumph in journalism but rarely surpassed in cities much larger than Atlanta, and is an evidence not only of the gor aheaditiveness of the publishers of the Constitution, but also of the Gate City. Z Within the past week the Charles ton News "and Courier has replaced its old presses with the latest im proved Hoe perfecting press, which prints and folds forty ? thousand papers an hour, and. has changed its form from a four to an eight page, adding not only to . its appearance, but to its' size. , We refer to these simply as illus trations of the progressiveness of Southern" journalism ; but there is evidence everywhere of the improved condition of the press, both daily and weekly, throughout the entire South. In point of usefulness and ability, our press as 'a; whole wiir compare favorably with that in any section of this country. " d ?: .-; cr- - This is especially so of North Caro lina where the improvement within the past four years has been very nvvrked, and where we could point to local weekly papers that are a credit not only to their publishers but to theommunitv in which - they are published, whilo the daily papers. though few in number,- show evi dence of the push and enterprise that keeps abreast of the times. - The Daily Observer, while; it may not be up to the standard of some of theJ3 journals, is yet a model of ex cellence as compared with what it was when the present management took the helm eleven years ago. , Its growth has ; been so slow and so gradual that in looking at ths larger papers we forget what we are, and regret that it is not , published in a city of fifty thousand inhabitants, with all : the patronage . that 50,000 population" implies.: To you who have read The Observer for eleven years, look at your paper this morn ing. T It bristles with . news ' from every corner of the earth, with a cir- culation scarcely excelled in' North Carolina, with a run of advertisting patronage which is almost marvel lous.';" Eleven years ago Tmf Obser ver was 'a thumb , paper now the largest in the ' State eleven years ago it had little or no -telegraphic news -now its news service costs its proprietor 2,000 per year eleven years ago the Weekly Observer was hardly known among the newspaper of the State today it is a large 8 page paper, making its weekly visits to thousands of homes, and bearing on its bosom all the news. While it is not up to the standard marked out by its proprietor, Tee Observes has always been published full abreast of the times and its - peo ple, and far beyond its patronage. We have no pledges to make, but the record of these past eleven years, ought to be somewhat of an earnest of what we shall be in the future. ' SAMPLE DESPATCH AND A FIRST-CLASS LIE. The New York Tribune publishes the following, which is. a fair sample of the despatches sent out to Radical papers in the North about the politi cal situation in Noith Carolina, and heads it: - NORTH CAROLINA SURE FOR BLAINE. Horganton , -N. C, Sept. 27. It is thought by the Democratic managers that Blaine and Logan will run 8,000 votes ahead of the Republican State ticket in North Carolina. In Davie, Ashe, Watauga, Buncombe and Rowan counties seveial Democratic clubs have- pledged themselves to Blaine, although they are working hard to elect Scales, tne- Democratic candidate for Governor. They vote for Blaine, 'because they favor protec tion and are opposed to the abolition of the internal revenue system. which is being so loudly advocated by United States Senator Vance. As at the last election in North Carolina, where a full vote was polled, there was but 2,000 majority for the Demo crats, it seems probable the action of the protectionist Democrats may carry the State for Blaine, although the Republican State ticket is certain of defeat bv 3.000. The famous "Black district" of Wilmington will give the Republican ticket a good majority this year. A division and redisricting of the city of Salisbury has just been made by the Democrats witn tne view to confusing colored Republican voters and thus offering a pretext to count out any Republican majority there. The usual majority is 1,500. The ignoramus that wrote this despatch is better, acquainted with China than he is with North Carolina, and the - despatch shows his igno rance. . There is not a Democratic club in North Carolina working for Blaine, and not one Democrat, much less a Democratic club. The only place where it . approximates the truth is where it admits the defeat of the Republican State ticket, though far out in the majority it concedes to the Democrats. It caps the climax of absurdities when it places the usual Republican majority in'Saliss bury at 1,500, about twice the total vote of the city. But for a sample of the reliable despatches that are sent out to humbug Northern Repub- icans, it will do. A COLD SKETCH OF YORK. . The Observer . has expressed its opinion of Dr. York pretty freely, and denounced his low demagoguery and mean devices and cricks to win the votes of the people who may be simple enough to be influenced by such shallow artifices. - Lest it might seem that we have been swayed, by' mere desire to underestimate him on political grounds, or misrepresent him because he is the R jpablican candidate for Governor, we quote the following extract from an edito rial in the Raleigh Chronicle, written after the joint discussion ou Thurs day at Raleigh. The Chronicle, while a Democratic journat, is exceedingly conservative in itsutterances, and is disposed to be rather generous than otherwise to political antagonists. It heads its article on York "A Dis grace," and says: . Concerning Dr. York and his speech delivered yesterday, only one thing need be said or can be saia : tne man is a demagogue and his ' speech was demagoguery, pure and simple, and demagoguery ; wiinoui reueeming features.. ' But when it comes to pass that a man who is a candidate for the high est official position in North Carolina carries about with him bills of money to flaunt in the faces of the ignorant in order to illustrate and enforce an untrue inference ; when a candidate for Governor asserts that the Demo cratic party in North Carolina is op posed to the education . of .the masses, that,, too, a man who himself has stood as a stumbling oiock in tne way of education ; it is high time, gentlemen, we : should cousid. r . to what a plane we have fallen. Never even in our darkest days did a man aoDeal to the people from so low a level as this. -; He be elected? . If there were no great political issues, North Carolin ians would disgrace themselves by allowing such a misfortune ,i He is neither capable nor cons stent; he is neither educated nor dignified; above all he is not sincere. 1 lie lacks every S ualitv that the people of this State emand in their Executive. - ; Whatever may or may not be the pnliticalTeasons for a continuance of Democratic rule in North - Carolina for Republican ascendancy; there 'is no reason under Heaven why the people should disgrace themselves by electing such a demagegue, even if the party that he represented, was spotless as show. If the Democrats were to nominate so gross and insin cere a man, the Chronicle, tor once, will bee to be excused. " - It is not as a Republican" (which anv man has a right to be), it is not as an opponent of th& Democratic party (which also a man may - be without offense), but it is a disgrace to "s our politics, as an insult to the intelligence and common sense of the masses, that Dr. York is an offense to our whole people. Not yet, have we fallen so low. Pray that we never may I . n . . A Crashed Ilalconr Almonte, Out.; Oct. 4. The balcony- on the eastern side of ; the La nark Agricultural Society's building here fell yesterday ' with a crash, owing to the large crowd standing upon it. An exciting stampede; im mediately occurred in which many persons were badly crushed., 5 , THE EXPOSITION. Competitive Drill- Band Contest" ... ScalesYork. Correspondence Obskykkb. . 2" , Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 2, 1884 . The second day of the Exposition was a grand success. The principal xeaiiures oi tne aay were tne contests of the competitive drill of the follow ing companies: - Pasquotank Rifles, Fayetteville In dependent Light Infantry, Durham Light Infantry, Washington Light Infantry, Edgecombe Guards, Wil mington Light ' Infantry, Forsyth Rifles, Southern Stars. The judges were Capt. Hayes, U. S. Army ; ; Lieut Bachelor Bingham School ; Capt. Davis, Lagrange Mili tary School. ' The State Guard was drawn up in front of the Yarboro House, and the awards were made at 7 p. m. by Lieut. Batchelor. The first prize was award ed to the Pasquotank Rifles, to sec ond to the Eayetteville Light Infan try. . - ' The following bands competed for the prizes: Monroe band, Ashevflle band and Elizabeth City band. r The judges wero Professors Bau man, Neave, W. T. H. Forbis. - ' The Monroe band was successful.' - The contests in the target practice has not yet been announced. Scales and York closed the joint discussion here today. - Scales in his rejoinder was scathing, j and York ought to congratulate himself on re lieving himself from the severe casti gations that he has received frcm Scales. R. D. C. THE OPPOSITION TO BLAINE. A Tote from H hich no Sound is Heard, but Which Will Count. A Springfield, (Mass.) special savs: The most important element in this election will be the silent vote. Many Republicans of high moral standing cannot conscientiously vote for Blaine and they will either not vote for President or else vote for Cleve land or St. John. . The latter will catch the strictly pious dissatisfied Republicans, who would hot vote for a Democratic angel. : An organized canvass here shows that scores of Republicans who have been outspoken heretofore as to their, intentions are now very reticent when among their old political associates. When with the Democrats they unbosom them selves and express their positive in tention of repudiating Blaine. In West Springfield a canvasser for me "Ajives or Jtsiame ana Logan" found thirteen Republicans in one day who said thev would vote fnr PlAva. land. Of nine youner men at a hotel the other night seven of the number declared thev would Runnnrt rilovA- land. These declarations were elicited by one of the number, who had known the others for years, wagering that the majority were for Blaine. York and the Negroes. J Greensboro Patriot It is said that a delegation of color ed citizens waited on Dr. York after the discussion at Winston last Fridav and inquired into the truth of Col. Morehead's Icharsie that he voted in the Legislature against allowing negroes to testify in the courts. The delegation was met by York's bland est manner, and to its interrogatory he replied with much feeling: "Why, my colored friends, that's a Demo cratic he out of the whole cloth; you ?5ople have got no better friend than ork." The delegation withdrew. satisfied that York was a badly slan dered man. The record sustains the charere made by Col. Moreheod and convicts York of deliberate prevarication : The Act allowing negroes to testify in the courts was passed March 10th, JLHoo. On page 147 of the Journal of the House, York is found voting to in definitely postpone the bill ' Ou page 149 of the Journal will be found York's vote to strike out sec. 9 of the bill, which allows negroes to give ovidence in court in all cases where their rights are in question. , Cjn page 152 can be found York s vote against the passage of the bill on the second reading. - On page 173 York is again found voting to strike out section 9 on the 3rd and final reading of the bill, and on page 174 on the vote to pass the bill on its 3rd and last readiug, York votes in the negative. - ' All this was at the special session of the legislature, beginning in January, 1866.
