1 0 The owners of The Crowder's Mountain iron
Wuiks beg to call tlie attention of capitalists iron
manufacturers, stock aud dairy men, "and those
nho wish to settle colonies, to their property ,wldch
oilers inducements to the classes above named.
The property consists of blx Thousand Three
- Hundred Acres of land, located in the counties of
Gaston aud Ueaveland, in -the State of North Car
oiiiiu, 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 chiefly at the site of the celebrated
i'eilow hluge 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 lor two miles in length, has been
worked to the tiopt 1 147 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 lor 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- I
covered at other points. Within the past eighteen !
mouths, however, the owners have discovered de- I
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
make It one of the most desirable iron properties
to be found. They have discovered on the pinnacle
of this mountain, which is 10U0 feet above the level
land, iMi 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
big in one place about 2U feet of solid vein. This
vein can be traced over the top ol the mountain for
over a mile, ana this deposit alone would afford an
almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easUy worked,
and above the water line. ' In addition to this four
other vein twe been found on this mountain.
Xne ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from & 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
oualit?.
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, 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 barylese has just been found in large quan
tity, j . .
As a stock and dairy farm it offers fine opportu
. ? Hits to t hose who may wish to engage In such bus
iness. It has from three to four thousand acres of
Uvel or only slightly rolling land, which produces
o'tss, grain and all kinds of farming products
-inely, and it is well supplied with water by unfail
ag springs and branches - -
The other 4,000 acres embraced In the mountain
tides are productive of fine grass and herd age, and
itford excellent natural pasturage for sheep and
rattle, The climate is so mild that but little shel
ter for 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 fruits 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. It is situated in the Piedmont belt, which is
noted for the salubrity of its climate, and the
healthiness of Its atmosphere. It is a region free
from malaria and other unhealthy Influences. It
is locateo with great convenience to railroad facili
ties, being situated at from two to four miles from
king's Mountain Station, on a railway that has the
most extensive connections with all parts of the
country, and which offers great inducements to
those who are trying to develop the country along
Its lines. The owners will sell this property to suit
purchasers, as follows: The whole tract, Including
mineral interests,for Sixty three Thousand Dollars,
or win make favorable terms, reserving the min
eral interest, or will sell one-half the mineral in
terest, payments to be one-third cash, balance In

THEY LITE BY THEIR WITS.
Samuel J. Tilden in his last letter
hit the nail square on the head when
he said the Republican, party is in a
great measure composed of men who
"live by their wits." He never ut
tered a truer remark in his life. .He
.was speaking of the men,' of course,
who run the Republican party, not
the masses who are controlled by
these men.
Who are they ? Office-holders and
office-seekers, who live by politics
and are indebted for all they have to
politics. Deprive it ' of the host of
government fed officials and hangers-
on who do the organizing, manipulat
ing, whooping up ana campaign wotk
and. it would be a headless trunk.
There are today dozens of vacant
seats in the departments at Wash
ington, the men who are supposed
to fill them being now actively en
gaged in campaign work in Ohio and
West Virginia, while they draw
their salaries as government em
I ployees from the treasury of the
United States. Go into a Republican
convention anywhere and. the Fed
eral omcehoider is always conspicur
ous, and in many the big boss who
runs the v whole : machine. In the
Southern States this is a notorious
fact. There is not one of them in
which Federal officeholders and gov
ernment employees do not run the
party, dictate its nominees, their sole
object being; the spoils that success
may bring. , : Without them there
would be no Republican party in the
South. It would be a merv reminis
cence. . " i
They are for self, the last one of
them. They live by their wits, "while
they pretend to be governed by prin
ciple and patriotism.
Mr. Delmar, of the Boston ' Herald,
who is now in Raleigh looking at the
Exposition, stated yesterday, . as an
evidence Of th$ drift of political sen
timent in that Stated that four years
agpQDiy.'one out otthe twelve papers
published in Boston was Democratic,
and that now eleven out of the twelve
support Cleveland and Hendricks.
A convention of Drummers has
nominated JoeMulhatton, the cham
pion liar, for the Presidency, and Joe
accepts. Blaine will now have to
look out for his laurels for Joe, as a
trifler with the truth, is hard to get
away with.
Belva Lock wood demes the report
that she Will go on the ttaaip; and in
dignantly exclaims that she ill not
put herself on a level with Blame and
Butler.....''

Blaine is a very alluring I candidate,
but would make a dangerous Presi

THE POOL, DEFALCATION."
The Money Paid Back and the Schools
" - Didn't Lose a Cent.
It is charged by some of the Radi
cal speakers on the stump that by the
ef alcation ol Col. Pool when School
Superintendent the pubhe schools of
this State were robbed of a consider
able sum of money which belonged to
the school fund. They don't state the
amount, leaving the impression that it
was very large, and the schools there
fore ; great - suffereis. In reply
to an inauirv . , by the " editor : of
the Observes, the following letter
has been received from Mr. J. C.
Scarborough, Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction, which shows ; that ! of
the original amount appropriated by
Col. Pool, $2,800; he repaid 12,100 and
the remaining $700 was paid by the
committee to whom the matter was
rftferred. the schools not losing: one
cent. " The "following is Mr. Scar

make some capital.
THE STATE EXPOSITION.
A Magnificent Display of the State's Ue
. sources.
Sixty-three counties have exhibits
at the State ' Industrial Exposition,
each representing the products, in
dustries and resources of that partic
ular county. Some of them arc re
markably fine and all show evidence
that the people are alive and look to
the future. The Raleigh News and
Observer thus notes the exhibits made
by Robeson and Randolph counties:
ROBESON COTJSTY. . ;
This county salutes the spectator
with its name in large letters in cotton
and green pine on a straw ground
and. sports the motto, "Robeson deco
rates with garlands from , her own
soil these are her v jewels." The
county has been very fortunate in
having such a stirring, energetic
worker as Dr. ; Hariee. who. haviner
the full confidence of the people of the
county has been able to work up such
an interest that the display is entire
ly representative ana characteristic.
and when the well sweep with the
cypress bucket are in position every
Robesonian will think as he nearsthe
'spot that he is about home at last. A
central pyramid represents the great
pine tree andustry, a log fat with
crude turpentine being cut in shape
to represent the gathering of the crop.
Another pyramid represents the chief
crop, cotton, a large bale of good
quality forming the base of the pile,
and upon it is perched a barrel of ex
cellent workmanship, made in the
county. Cotton is shown in the bale,
stalk, seed and lint. " Another pyra
mid represents woods of the county,
the topmost being a cypress knee.
curiously shaped, upon it being fas
tened the antlers of a deer, while just
Deiow those ot a lawn add grace to the
pile. . The woods of the county are
given in great variety, there being
seventy-two different kinds. A pair
of live deer are on the way to enliven
tne scene, and when, they arrive we
may expect that the exhibit will be
continually surrounded by an inter
ested crowd. In the display of woods
are some Of the products among them
trays that tha ladies say are perfect,
and barrels for spirits of turpentine
and the crude article. . The tools for
gathering turpentine are also shown.
There is also a cypress tub, cypress
knee, and cypress shingles, and an
exhibit of corn that shows that cy
press land is splendid for producing
that kind of grain as Col. M. McRae,
of Shoe Heel, shows some that, after
deducting all expenses, averaged fifty
bushels per acre, net. There are large
bodies of such land in Robeson coun
ty. Potatoes are shown that gave
the enormous yield of 500 bushels to
the acre; wheat sixteen to the acre;
corn twenty, after oats. . The bale of
cotton mentioned above was made on
land cleared this year by E. McCor -mac,
of Shoe HeeL There are oats,
rye, rice, millet, maize, peas, potatoes
sweet and Irish pumpkins, and a
large - variety or garden vegetables
and a number of articles in this line
t)f which mention cannot be made be
cause the labels have been destroyed.
There are seventy varieties of medic
inal plants, and a fine ; collection of
ferns, dried and pressed, . and some
beautiful leaf tobacco, the first ever
raised in the county. It comes from
the lands of J. B. Wilkinson, "AlmaTT
xnere is a large case of bird eggs,
contributed by little Daniel Russell,
and six varities of marl, of which the
specimens are rich. In the ladies de
partment " there are elegant canned
fruits, beautiful needle work, hand
some quilts, made of silk, one by Mrs.
W. H-Harlker, of Shoe Heel, that
contains 3.312 pieces. This is much
admired. There is some pretty wax
work by Mrs. Smathers, and also some
feather work. Altogether there is no
display that is more distinctively rep
resentative than this one of Robeson
county. ' .. i
- RANDOLPH COUNTY.
Randolph county is under the capa
ble supervision, of D.-Reid Parr, ol
Trinity college, who has displayed
much skill and taste in arranging the
details- .The J. M.- Worth manufac
turing company's looms occupy a con
spicuous position, and arc surrounded
by a group ot interested spectators as
they turn out seamless . bags and
sheeting. ' Upon the walls are draped
plaids from the f actor v of the Randier
Xiian manufacturing company. On
the corner of ahe centre and west
aisles stands a case of shuttles finely
hmshed. These are irom the factory
of W. C. Petty & Co.. of Bush Hill.
who also show some splendidly fin
ished rims, spokes, hubs aud complete
wheels, and handles, with sash, doors
and blinds from the factory of J.
Roberts & Co., . Bush HilK Sorre
chairs come from the factory of Mace-
peace & Son, of Jranklinville, and
they are so nice that they will make
peace in any family In leather there
i .i i i
is a large ana variea aispiay, Dotn oi
black and russet, as well as of belting,"
fine calf skin and harness leather, and
boots and shoes from the establish
ment of Tomlinson Bros., Bush Hill.
There are on exhibitiqn52 varieties of
wood of superior quality, and the
manager says lie hasn't brought all
down, as there is some still standing.
In minerals there are gold. . silver,
iron and copper. ; One of the most
delicate specimens of workmanship in
the building is the little collection of
cups turned, with a fine lathe by W.
.b'-Monrange. or JNew Salem. Thev
are in holly and maple, and are really

ANOTHER BLAINE DENIAL.
A Gross Invasion ol His Priyate Right.
Canton. O., Oct. 7. -Mr. Blaine
said yesterday in answer to an in
quiring newspaper reporter that the
assertion or warren Fisher that he
(Blame) had offered a sum of money
for the Mulligan letters was utterly
untrue. It was a mere malicious
invention. Blaine added, there never
was a time when he would have paid
a single penny ior tne letters, though
ne always maintained that it was a
gross invasion of his private ' rights
that the. letters - should be ' hawked
about and published.
- Dr. York ys. Public Schools.
Raleigh News and Observer. -
No demagogue who ever lived in
North Carolina has made a greater
todd" over public schools than Dr.
York is now making. And yet, turn
to page 151, House Journal 1871-.72,
(proceedings ot December 19. 1871.1
and there will be found the following:
The bill to raise revenue being un
der consideration, Mr. Loftin moved
to insert "a special tax of fcur cents
on the hundred dollars valuation of
property . for the support of public
scnoois.-; ine ayes ana noes werej
ordered. Dr. York voted NO ! He
was unwilling to levy even a four
cent tax for the ,blue eyed boys and
girls of North Carolina 1" So much
for Dr. York's school record.
Again, when the question came un
to establish . normal schools, for the
training of teachers. Dr. York voted
against that wise measure. - ;
The Doers Mast Look Out. - '
London, Oct. 9. The Times under
stands that the English cabinet con
cil Monday concluded to adopt meas
ures forthwith to stop the audacious
incroachments of the Boers in Af rica.
This decision the Times says is re
ceived with satisfaction by the people
of England who have borne with
great impatience the insults that have
been perpetrated upon the English
flag by people whose insignificance is
their best protection.
A Gloomy Republican Irom Ohio.
To the Editor of The Philadelphia Times. '
Been in Ohio for a month past.
Will vote for Blaine, but am convinc
ed the jig-is up. Seventy-five per
cent, of the German voters and lis
quor men with their influence are on
the Democratic side of the fence and
the bulk of the balance will flop over
before the 14th. The Democrats are
jnbilant, the Republicans fearful.
You may as well prepare to head
your column October 15 "Blaine's
Waterloo." '-
