Woiks doc to call the attention of ettunallsts Iron
manufacturers, stock.. sm dairy men, and those
who wish to settle jto aiea, to tuelr property.whlch
offers uioucements to the classes above named.
Thepropetty coiisisU ot Six Thousand Three
Hundred Acres ot laid, located In the counties of
baston and Cleatelu. in the State of North Car
oiina, at King's Auauifauu Depot, on the Atlanta
and Charlotte Air lone railway, now owned by the
KiChmond an Danville railroad company. The
property has been used for fifty- years past as an
iron property, and has oeen worked at various
ptints, but chiefly at the site- of the celebrated
Yellow 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 for two miles In length, has been
worked to the dept L 14 J feet, sue wine at that
depia a vein ol vre about 40 feet wide, and analyz
ing as high as 66 per cent, oi 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
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
siake 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
land, 2J00 feet above the sea level, a vein of ore
eight feet wide, which crops out at various points
fnm the top to the bottom of the mountain, show
ing hi one place about 2ir feet of solid vein. This
vein can be traced over the top of - the mountain, for
over a mile, and this deposit alone would ailord an
almost inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked,
and above the water line. In addition to this four
other veins neve been found on this- mountain.
The ore is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from 49 to 66 per eent. 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
quality, : h- ' j '- ." . ' .
Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess
King's Mountain, lor about seven miles, whose
pinnacle is the highest point of land from Rich
munu 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 lire-proof
brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex
cellent oarytese has just been found in large auan-.

but that the State would take rank as
one of tho most wealthy and prosper
ous in the South ' There ismanv a

, If tho press of NortlViolia'alw ill j

perhaps ' we will " be ' able ' todraw
popular-attention to it and be ihstru-:
mental iii effecting a remedy. That;
there is abundant cauae f. complaint '
no one denies,-and that the present
grossly ungual and unjust system of
taxation should continue no one will'
assert. In the matter of taxation as
between the citizen and the State the
same business methods and the samej
fair, . square dealing - and : honesty
should prevail as between business;
men.1 The man "who owns ten thou-i
sand dollars worth of property Should ;
be required- iu pay tax oa ten thou-'
sand dollars worth and ic should, hot
be assessed at one half or one quarter!
of that 84m - He is as well able to pay.;
his full tax on -what he owns ' as, the:
man who owns one thousand ' dollars;
worth is able to pay on what he owns,'
and probably better; y If it be 'so un
productive' as", not to furnish the
means to pay tax upon it, then , he
ought to dispose ol a portion of it to
some one who would make it produc-;
The trouble is thatxthis jnu vlity ,
runs through nearly every species of
property subject to taxation for State.
county and Municipal purposes. A!
span of horses that the owner would:
not. take' three hundred .dollars for;
are valued ac a nunarea ana ntty,
while his less unscrupulous . neighbor:

a greater figure.. So with other stock

that : wLon the 1 total valuation sf ot
prvprty. real ul prtrsonHl, is footed
up from he tax lists, the figures ara
so small that the citizen of another
Slated where this system of under-!
Valuation doea not prevail, looking at
the showing in figures, naturally
concludes that this must be a vgry
poor and a very uninviting regioni
And thus the Sta(e Is injured, when
by a fair valuation she would show
up more creditably and be benefitted
It hurts again, tbli Wf . Whn the
valuation of property is low,the rate
of taxation to meet the demands of
the State must be " proportionately
high, and thus the State gets the rep
utation outside, ' among ; those not
familiar with the actual condition, of
being a very heavily taxed one, when
the reverse Kthe'truthThis has :&
tendency to' discourage settlement
and investment of capital. A', fair
valuation: of - property would make
the tax rate in a State oonducted as
economically as North Carolina has
been under Democratic administra
tion merely nominal, and would be
productive of good results in numer
ous ways. . x-t

take up this question and discuss it

mere matter of formality. Her,-full

which would indicate a population of
2,000,000. ; But JTekas could easily

' r'I have not; seen any of the persons
actually suffering fi om the disease,
but from all the symptoms described
it is that of flux, or .rather that of a
mild form of cholera. The victim is
taken:, with severe pains, sometimes
accompanied bv fain tine, followed bv
severe voruiiing and purging, which
in several instances end in death in
iroia four to twelve hours. Tlipre

a milder form,; yet very fatal in Scott

some action ought to be taken to move

Mr. bitrham on Republicanism.
St. Paul, Dec. 1. The editor of the
Statesman, published at. Walla Wal
la, Washington Territory, has receiv
ed the following from George C. Gor-
namj -
My Dear Sir: The defeat of Blaine
has put an end to sham : Republicans
isiA, which has for years been the
concubine of the Democratic Turk.
If the Republicans who are devoted
to justice and equal rights will cease
mistaking the false for the true, will
cease stoning their prophets and ens
shrining cheats and prostitutes, there
can be a reformed Republican party."
If Reids and Halsteads and iflaines
and the Uke are still to he oqr Aarons
in the wilderness ttien it would be a
crime to restore a party in which
they can flourish As for the negro,
he will thrive better by a little whole'
some neglect from, those who use him
only as a party ' shibboleth m the
Northwhfle conspiring against him
in the South. The Republic has some
dark problems to solve, hut the defeat
of the man; who was ; violently -op4-
poqed to Mahone and coalition m
1881, 1882, and 1883, and to the Force
bill in 1864, is surely a step forward.
Blaine says he was deserted because
Burohard arrested the desertion of
Catholics from the Democratic ranks.
What a confession I He received the
votes ' of onesthird the Democratic
party of the United States, else he
would ; not have carried 10 States,
perhaps not . 6. I shall wait to see
whether tne party tries to recover
strength by building . on its disease
before I hasten my conclusion as to
the future.. -. .-

Sroherti Iron in the North ' . X ' I
The Philadelphia Times of Dec - 2. '
says editorially : ' "Everybody res
members the boastful prophecy made
by a prominent secessionibt, prior toi
the open ing of r the late civil war, 1
that secession in the South- would;
cause the grass to grow in the streets
of northern cities. The prophecy
was.never fulfilled, 4 of cmi'se.-" the
grass grow ingulf any occurred, being
confined to southern cities iasteiid. .
If any one had been bold enouerh at!
that lime, nowever, - to declare that
wicnm a quarter ot a centurv south-S

have been deemed a greater luatic. if,
possible, than the grass gowing prophl

have been ui ten-d and "wasn't haa
been literally fulfilled, Southvirn pig

having been marketed north. of VMaS

enough to take away Hhe breath of
- - .i
men wno nave.D'-en educated to be
lieve that New .York, . Pennsylvania
-and Ohio.; make iron by a sort of a
divine right for the rest of the Uni
ted States. .. Naturally such men see
impending ruin to the northern . iron
industry. The seventy six thousand!
tons of southern iron sold in northern
markets is hut a drop in : the bucket
to be sure, amouuting to , less than
2 per cent, of the total iron output of
the country j but the fact that it Jias
appeared , in northern markets in
ever so small a quantity has been
sufficient to cause a great deal of un
easiness in certain iron circled, lead
ing to ominous, shakings of the head
and dark forebodings for the future.
A caretui survey oi the whole situ,
ation should serve to allay some fears
and cause - a wige, preparation ' for
changes that are inevitable' in the fu4
ture iron industry of the ,o6untry
The amount of southern iron, sold in
the northern market is small vet.
and will probably never be . large:

the production of northern oaDital
the little that has been distributed in
northern cities would hardly, have
found its, way there at all. But , the
south is going to produce its - own
iron in the near - tuture, i instead ot
buying it from the north, as former
lj This jnay be taken for granted.
and there is no use of fighting the in
evitable. its people have tired of
risking all their industrial eggs in
toe single agricultural i basket, as of
old. They are getting ready to man
ufacture their cotton as well as to
grow it, to utilize the wealth of lum
ber which their forests contain and
the iron : and coal . of which their
mountains are full.vtiu; 4 o-,?s
i Instead cf Jteing a cause for; gloom
and foreboding, however, this should
be a cause for congratulation .and re
joicing on the part of th people of
all sections.:: -The development of di
verse industries in the south will' do
more to beget a common interest and
sympathy between the sections than
ail other - influences combined.-, The
old antagonism grew largely out of
the want of r common industrial in
terests.. This cause of antagonism is
now to be removed,- and the repre
sentatives . of a . common country,
having common industrial' interests,
can certainly find a way, when work
ing in harmony to a r common qd,
of providing markets' for.- the'.sur
nhia nroduction of both" north 'and
south.. The few tons of Southern .iron
in the northern market . may 5 cause
momentary. uneasiness to, men , Who
can see only the present effect of the
extra drop in a bucket.', already; ,full.
To the broad-minded,; far-seeing man
it is but the i announcement that , at
last the nojrtAi and south have met on
a common plane with common - in
terests, and that henceforth they' are
to work together to promote the gen
eral prosperity of , the , whole coun

" ., Wormlej's Sods. y -j.nty
- A Washington correspondent -ays:
"I cannot refrain-rom an allusion to
the sons of the late James Wormley"
Their father's property is : valued at
$100,000. j -The only will, found: was a
few lines on a sheet.of paper, i which
he evidently wrote-before going -to
Boston. s,He said he gave all his pos
sessions to his wife.. The paper, was
neither8igned nor - witnessed,- and
therefore valueless as a legal docu
ment. ' His sons have taken the pa
per and asked that it should be re
corded as a will, as they regarded it
as such, and would be bound by it.
