which extends for 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

vein has not been worked for twenty years, but the
facta 9et 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

posits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (five veins ot
lou ore, are exposed),, wmcn woe unknown be

ore, easily worked and above water, that must '

from the top to the bottom of the mountain, show- i

Vein caa be traced over the top of the mountain tor
over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an '
almost Inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked,

other veins b?ve been found on this mountain.
The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis

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
Quality.
Beside Crowder's Mountain tne owners possess
King's Mountain, fur about seven miles, whose
pinnacle is the highest point of land from Rich

I 11 K DAWN OF A NEW ERA.
The election of Grover Cleveland
m Prefident and i.Thomas - A. .-Hendricks
as Vice President, of the United
States" ia the dawn of a new era of
bright and happy ; promise in this
country, i For twenty-four years this
government has been in the hands of
a party which had grown rotten with
corruption, which had grown bold
with power and arrogant with wealth.
Though in a minority of the popular
vote, it has retained power by the
backing of rings and corporations, an
army of Federal officials, by the ex
penditure of untold sums of money,
by the most daring and unblushing
frauds, ard when beaten, by the most
colossal villainy "of the age. Soutter
ly reckless bad it become in the con
.duct of campaigns and in the manipu
lation of ballot boxes that the Repub
lican managers openly declared that
the carrying of elections simply de
pended upon the amount of money
that could be made available, and
consequently the nrst move in any
campaign was steps to raise as large
a corruption fund as possible, and to
do this not only the voluntary contri
butions of railroad magnates like Jay
Gould, wealthy Federal officeholders
and other interested parties were
secured, but forced assessments were
made upon the government employes
in the departments at Washington
and throughout the country, and they
were bled, repeatedly bled and merci
lessly bled, until the process of rob
bery became a shame and a scandal.
The government was run as a part of
the political machine, and the first
duty of the Federal appointee seerfled
to be to the party through which he
held his appointment.' Aside from
the disreputable and corrupt methods
of retaining power, the Republican
party was a sectional party, and
never entered a campaign that the
sectional cry was not raised, and the
bloody shirt was not flaunted in the
faces of the people, arousing old ani
mosities, and filling the hearts of the
present generation with the bitterness
that ought to have died with the war.
Even in the last campaign Mr. Blaine,
in the last days of the campaign,
threw " himself vigorously into this
shameful work, and raised the cry of
a solid North against a solid South,
and the word went out along the line,
and his campaign editors and orators
took it up and cried out as 'lustily as
their chief. : - : - . -
And so it would be while the Repub
lican party continued in power, for it
could onlyhope for such continuance
byMugjiappliances as we have briefly
tied to. , . "v
The election of Cleveland and Hen -
dricks and the triumph of the Dempt
cratic pzrty brings a change for it
puts at the head of the government
men who have no sectional feeling,
and puts a party in power which iVa
national : party,-, which knows and
recognizes no geographical lines.. It
means an end of sectional strife, it
means the end of the race conflict, it
means the end of the domination of
Federal officeholders in national and
State politics, it means the end of the
money power in politics, it means the
end of the shameful assessment sys-.
tern, it means full recognition of the
South as a co-equal section in the
government of this country ; it means
reform, peace, prosperity -and good
will between the people of this coun
try, the dawn t of the new era for
which millions of v good people hive
been honing and struggling for, lo!
these many years. . .

A.'Hendricks are to be congratuL

Notwithsanding the excitement-of
the election the weather . continues
right along A No 1 and undisturbed.
Tis an ill wind. - 'I am -thankful

The Kew Congress. .
- The returns from the various por
tions of the country are not yet full
enough for it to be possible . to deter
mine with absolute precision the com
position of either House of the Forty
ninth Congress. There is, however,
no question . that the Senate will be
Republican and the house Democrat
ic. . The present Senate has a Repub
lican majority of four. The succes
sor to Senator Slater, Democrat," Of
Oregon, will be a Republican, and in
the other States there seems to have
been no change. In the new House
of Representatives, whose term does
not begin until the 4th of next March,
the Democratic majority willapprox-r
imate forty. The democratic majors
ity in the present House is sixty
seven. In - the fall of 1882 a great
democratic tidal wave swept over the
country, submerging for the time be
ing a number of districts .which un
der ordinary circumstances are reli
ably Republican. The tide has not
altogether subsided, v Throughout the
canvass - just ended there were not
wantmgsigns that the corruption and
inefficiency of the Congress run by
Keif er and Robeson had left a deep
impression upon the public mind, an
impression, too, which the course of
the republican party managers in the
campaign did much to deepen, Un
der such circumstances nothing short
of a stampede to Blaine would have
wrested the House from Democratic
control. In grave crises of a people's
history, when one of two courses
must be chosen,- and when todo
nothing is to imperil the nation's
safety, a divided Congress might be
anything but a public blessing. But
when the ; matters with which the
Federal legislature is to deal are pri
marily questions of' financial and ad
ministrative detail, the necessity of
mutual compromise and concession
may result in procuring from Con
gress much wisher and fairer-legislation
than eitner party would be like
ly to enact if it followed merely the
dictates of its own wishes and preju
dices. - During the campaign a great
deal has been said as to the danger to
which all business interests would be
subjected by a sudden and complete
revolution in our tariff eystem,which,
however, has not been contemplated
by either party. The most nervous
of capitalists should now feel reas
sured . that through a ; Democratic
House and a Repnblican Senate noth
ing more . formidable than a very
moderate - measure of tariff reform
can by any possibility pass. ' -
Blaine's Disappointment. .
Washington correspondence Baltimore Sun.. : I
A leading independent Republican,
who has opposed Blaine with great
energy during the entire campaign,
said the suspense and agony under
which Mr. Blaine has been laboring
since midnight of last evening ' has
been- much greater than the tor
ments suffered by him when he was
devising his plans to steal the Mulli
gan letters.. He said he believed it
would almost kill Blaine if he should
miss the Presidency, and he did not
doubt that he was at this very - mins
ute laying plans to pull through "if
gsssible by nook or crook. He said
laine and his managers would think
nothing too desperate to attempt if it
promised to bring the presidency to
him. -. If Mr. Blaine - should pull
through by the skin of his teeth he
would secure the substantial prize for
which he has been fighting, of course,
but neither he nor his friends could i
allege any vindication for him in con 1
sequence, or that his wonderful mag
netism, on which so - much stress is
laid, hap proved of any great aid to i
him. He has failed utterly to secure ,
the full vote of - his own party, or
anything approximating to it. In
such States as New York and Massa
chusetts he has been "cut" by thou-,
sands of members of the Republican
party of exalted character and influ
ence, . and the votes of mercenaries
which have been purchased outright
for him are more than enough to
make up the -majorities in States
which it was essential for him. to
have. : .

A Faneet in Bad Company ;
Mrs. Harriet Hollister and her
daughter, prominent residents of Ith
aca, N. Y., met with a remarkable
accident a few days since while turns
ing on tne laucet of a water pipe. The
mocner receivea sucn a severe shock
upon touching the faucet that she
thought at first that she was attacked
with paralysis or apoplexy, but the
uoc&or, wno was cauea soon discov
ered that her thumb and fingers had
oeen curnea. - tsoon alter the daugh
ter was similarly affected, but not so
greauy, wnue sue was arawing water.
The fact led to an investigation, and
it wa found that Mr. Hollister's res
idence "was connected with the Itha
ca, Hotel, by a "dead", private tele -
graph wire. - This- wire had been
crossed with the electric light wire.
The "dead" wire" was connected with
the ..metallic roof on Mr. Hollister's
house, which in turn was connected
by a tin water conductor with the
water pipe leading to the sink. When
the dynamo machine of - the electric

A South Carolina JHamage Scheme.
- At a recent weddinrr rArfnt.mr in
South Carolina a young lawyer begs
ged leave to offer a new scheme of
matrimony, whicb he believed would
be beneficial. He proposed that "one
man in the company should be select
ed US" president: that this nresident
should be duly sworn to keep entirely
secret all communications thacshould
oe torwarded to hun in his official de
partment that night, and that aeh
unmarried gentleman and lady should
wriwj .ma or ner name on a piece of
paper, and under it the name of the
pei-son they wished to marry, then
hand it to the president for inspec
tion, and if anv gentleman lad-s
had reciprocally chosen each other
tha president was to inform anh nf
the result, and those who had nnr.
been reciprocal in their choice- kept
entirely secret." After the appoint
ment of the ; president - communica
tions were accordingly handed up to
the chair, and it was found : that
twelve young-ladies and eentlemfin
had made recim-ocal choirtes, hut
whom they had , chosen remained a
secret to all but themselves and the
president- - Eleven of the twelve
matches were afterwards solemnized.
- - North Carolina Fisheries.
New Orleans Times-Democrat. - 7 - - -
lhe .North Carolina fisheries are the
most important on the South Atlantic
coast - -In . 1880. thev yielded four
times as much food fish and employed
three times as many nersons as thev
did in 1870, and yet, south of Albe
marle bound, they are practically un
developed on account of the lack of
shipping and refrigerating conve
niences. The principal commercial
fisheries are the herring, shadr blue
fish, mullet, Spanish mackerel, stur
geon, menhaden, bass, trout and oys
ters. The principal fisheries are near
the junction of the Roanoke and
Chowan rivers, at the head of Albe
marle Sound. In herring fisheries
this State ranks first on the list, with
io,ozv.wv pounus. Tne oyster beds of
the State have grown in favor during
the last few years, and consequently
their product has greatly increased
to supply the demand.- The total
yield is About 200,000 bushels. -
