The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works bete to call the attention of capitalists iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and those who wish to settle colonies, to their property ,whlcb oilers inducements to the classes above named. TUeorouerty consists ol Six Thousand Three Eumlrtd Acres of land, located In the counties of traaton and ueaveiana. in tne state 01 north uar oilua, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the Hichmond anC Danville railroad company.. The property has been used for fifty years past as an iron property, and has ueen worked at various vuiiits, but cnieny at tne site 01 tne celebrated Yellow Riilye Ure Bank, which has always yielded an ore noted for its richness in metallic Iron, and Its Holiness and toughness. This vein ol ore, which extends for two miles In length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, showing at that depik 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 mouths, however, the owners have discovered de posits 01 ore in urowaers Mountain, inve veins or. 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 1000 feet above the level (and, 23J0 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 one place about a) feet of solid vein. This vein can be traced over the top of the mountain tor over a mile, and this Ueuoslt alone would afford an aluiobt inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and aoove the water line. In addition to this four other veins bpve been found on this mountain. The ore in 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 mexhaostiDie and 01 good Quality. - Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners msseas King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle is tne highest point 01 land trom Klch- moud 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.

Promises are cheap and easily made, especially promises made, to : be broken. They hare never entered a -campaign' yet that they did nt promise to behave themselves if the people continued them in power, and "when that was done they:; forgot all abut their promises and ran the machine in the same bid way. : There is hot a, meas ure of reform that ' they profess to favor that they have not been driven to by the Democrats, and not : one that they have honestly ' attempted to carry out or that they intended to carry out.. . As an illustration take civil service reform, i The Chicago platform favors it. ' Mr. BlWne,: in his letter of acceptance, favors it, and all the stump orators or party editors who consider it - worthy of notice, favor it,'and yet Mr. Blaine, whose duty it will be, if elected, to enforce it, was present with his, hippodrome in Ohio when Pension Commissioner Dudley, abandoning his post pf duty in Washington, went to Ohio, and with his corps of clerks - taken from Washington and the custom house in New York, spent soveral.weeks in that State working in the interest 'of the "Republican party. Blaine not only knew this but Blaine co operated with him. .. -. . , ."' .v : - -'. He was present in that State when vast sums, of money were used aad distributed throughout that State for the purpose of buying venal voters. He was present when thousands of United States deputy marshals, from ragged, barefooted negroes to desper ate bullies, were sworn in to stand at the polls and bulldoze peaceable vot ers. He' knew all this and encourag ed it. - He went into Indiana where the same programme was put on toot with his knowledge and approval. And he is the man who. professes to favor civil service reform, and whose duty it will be to enforce it if elected. , What sort of civil - service reform could be looked for under him! What sort would be looked . fort -None. None would be possible, and he who talked seriously about, ft would be laughed at. - But Mr. Blaine in his professions is as honest in this matter as any of them in their professions of civil service re form or any other kind : of reform. They are all birds of a feather and roost on the same stick. The Republican .managers in this State are full of promises too; They are loud mouthed upon '- the stump about the interest they take in the welfare of the people, especially- of the ; toiling misses, upon - whom, when in power, their party never conferred one substantial behfit. They prate about popular education, and when they had a chance to do something in that way, not only did not do it, but stole every dollar they could get their hands upon that was raised by taxation or in other ways 'or that purpose. They profess to be in favor of abol ishing the internal "revenue system, when in the whole life of their party they never made one move in that direction, and when ever since the war it has been.their main stay and support. : ' Their promises are all clap tiap to decei ve thecredulousand to steal into power - under false pretenses. But the people have their eyes open and have . learned something in past years. - , . SEVEN BOXEM. ' The voters of North Carolina - will have the- following boxes to cast bal lots in on the 4th of November: 1. The ir residential box vote in that. , : : 2. The State box vote in that. - 3. The Judicial box vote in that. 4. The Congressional box vote in that. . , 5. The Legislative dox vote in that. ' 6. The County box-vote in that.- ' 7. The Tow nship box vote in that James Gould -Blaine has carried his bloody shirt into New York. In the meantime the . good - people are moving to make that State v unani mous, so to speak, for Cleveland and reform. Under Radical rule in North Caro lina the people were taxed 80 . cents on the $100. The highest tax under Democratic rule was 31 3 4 cents in 1875, 25 cents in 1883 and nothing in 1884. ' ' ' ' . " " - A Plumed Knight, with a bedragn gled bloody shirt for a banner, ' cuts a somewhat ridiculously conspicuous figure, in the eyes of thinking peo ple. About two bushels of watches have been stolen from . the sovereigns in the "W est by Lthe pickpockets who liavtf f ollowed Blaine's circus; BUSINESS MEK'S PARADE. There tfSver was such demonstra tions of the business ' men of New York in favor of any Presidential candidate as there have been in favor of Grover Cleveland, : and this ;while James Gould Blaine is stumping the country stirring up sectional animos ity and trying td. alarm the business classes. Last Saturday afternoon the third parade of the business men's clubs of New York took place, and it is said its equal for the get up of the display and the number,, standing and character of the men that par ticipated in it was never seen in that city. Here are the figures of the clubs in line in the procession on actual count as given in the Herald:- Dry goods men. . . . . ;. . . ... .7,180 f roduceand Maritime iuxchange.1,480 Stock Exchange 540 Stock Exchange clerks . .. .. . . .-. 1,560 Insurance men....- .-. 820 Cotton Exchange. , . . 315 Petroleum and Mining Exchange 630 Distillers' Wine and Spirit Ex-w change... 475 Downtown workmen and long-. shoremen : 360 845 735 190 700 Coffee Exchange and downtown merchants............ West side "merchants. ........... Columbia College graduates.; . . Jewelry trade... . . .; . Mechanics' and Builders' Associ ation.... .. 480 Hardware men. ... . . . . . .- 550 Total. ...16,860 The Washington Republican thinks that there has been bad management in the expenditure of the corruption fund by ; the Republican managers and says: : "One tenth of the monev that was expended in Ohio, under ; the direc tion of the National Committee. would make either Virginia or North Carolina absolutely safe to the Re- Imblican party. ' It is not yet too ate to render assistance; and the proper parties should take immediate steps to aid the brave men who are fighting for the establishment of a new South." . : - "Fighting for the establishment of a new South." That's pretty good. The confession that it will take money to make "Virginia" or North Carolina safe for the Republican par ty" is good too. We just desire to remark that it will ; take about all they can rake tip. --s ' The Republican party managers fn, Washington are sending all the government employees of the Repub ican persuasion home to their States to vote.- For this purpose they have secured cheap rates on the. railroads, and when an employee says he can't raise' the cash to ' buy' one of ' these cheap tickets they furnish him with one so he will have no excuse for dodging.' Charges of Fraad. J. J. Barker; of i New York, who recently resigned from the treasury at Washington, has addressed an open letter to President Arthur, in which he declares that he stands ready to prove by vouchers on file in the office of the register in the Treasury ; De partment "that millions of dollars have been wrongfully taken from the United States Treasury Department since the Republicans came into pow er." 5 Mr. Baker mentions : several cases where United States district attorneys, marshals,: commissiners and witnesses were largely overpaid after he had called the attention of the first comptroller to these "raised" accounts, Mr. Barker -informed the President that he resigned kis place in the service of the United States for the simple reason that he "declin ed to be accessory to the systematic frauds that are being perpetrated through the first comptroller s office of the Treasury Department." Comp troller Lawrence . says he i not disturbed by the charges, and. that wnen the matter is looked into care fully, as it will be, there will not be ound a single case tnac naa an atom of fraud connected with it.

The steamer Arabia ' which arrived Sun day from China and Japan, brought the following additional details of the great typhoon of September 15, which caused such terrible destruction of life and property at Yokohama and Tokio. The storm came ud so raDid ly and with uch tremendous fury tnac no, precaution couia oe tasen. In Yokohoma tne entire lower part of me eicy, caned setuement," was comnletelv wrecked. No houses were left standing. The inhabitants made no, attempt ; to save their property, but fled , for their lives to escape drowning . from the rushing waters anven upon the land by the fury ot tne wind, ; The newspapers make no utmmrji, io lurmsn aeiaus ot tne- ae -structaon.in that part of the : city. They, surmized by saying that as the settlement was destroyed it is useless to give details. ? The high parts of the. city, being.; more i exposed were A, A. . A- A. M 1 equally unfortunate. Several of the largest and most substantial buildings were swept away as if of pasteboard. In that section alone 128 houses were destroyed and 390 damaged. - The loss of life on shore was less than at sea. Out of 80 sailing vessels 53 were lost with 223 persons on ; board, . Twelve vessels with; ? 120 persons are : also missing, j Of five life boats that went to the rescue of the drowning crews four were swamped and some of their crews drowned .This typhoon is the severest experienced since J.870. ENGLAND AND THE SOUDAN. Policy to be Pursued In Reference to x - uperauons mere. " 1 London, Oct. 27. The recent offi cial correspondence relating to Egyp tian affairs has . been made public. The instructions from tha govern ment to Gen. Lord Wolseley stated that the object of the expedition was to Dring wen. uoraon and Uol. stew art back from Khartoum. No further offensive . operations than should prove necessary to secure this end would be permitted. Neither the English nor Egyptian governments was prepared to assume the responsi bility of the government of the Nile Valley beyond Wady Halfe, though they would be glad to see an inde pendent government established at Khartoum, which would keep peace Isvith Egypt, would encourage com merce, and prevent the slave trade. When it : was known that " General Gordon had sent Colonel - Stew art to burn Berber the government directed Major Mitchell to send coun ter orders to Col. Stewart. In a letter dated April 22nd. Gen. Gordon writes that he has offered freedom and pay to the slaves who desert the Mahdi, '- This policy, , he hopes, will sound the doom of slavery in the Soudan. He declares that it Shendy is captured by the . rebels it will 'be due to the government's faiK tire to send Zebeher Pasha to - him. He expresses the hope that for the sake of the honor of : England that Abyssinians have not been engaged to fight England's battles. - Business Failures. New York, October 27.
