W oiks beg to call the attention ol 'capitalists Iron
manufacturers, stock -and dairy men, and those
Hho wish to settle coioaies, to thrtr property.wnich
otters inducement to the classes.above named.
The property consists ot bix Thousand Three
Hundred Acres ot land, .located in the counties 01
baston and Cieaveland, In the State of North Car
otina, at King's Mountain Depots on the Atlanta
and Charlotte Air Luie railway, now owned by the
hlchmoud and Danville railroad company. The
properly haa been used. lor fifty years past as an
I1011 property, and has oeen worked at various
pomts, but chleny at the site ot the ceiebratou
Yeilow Ridge Ore Bank, v-hieh has always yielded
an ore noted lor itn richness In metallic iron, and
its soltuess and .toughness. - This vein of ore,
waich extends tor two miies In leiigth, has been
KorKed to the dept f HI feet, shewing at that
tteplh a vein ol ore about 4 J feet wldtj, and aluuyz-
lug as high as 66 per cent of metallic iron. - This
teui has not been norked for twenty years, but the
tacts set iorth can he fully shown. Various other
veins have been worked, and wtUiln the past twu
yars very large deposits ol Iron ore have been dis
covered at otuer poiiiia. Within the past eighteen
uoutns, however, the-owners have discovered de
posits of ore -la Crowder's Mountain, (hve veins of
Iron ore, are exposed), widen were unknown be
fore, and which will furrabh an amount ol good
ore, easily worked and above watet, that must
make it one ot the most desirable iron properties
to oe found. They have discovered on the pinnacle
of this mountain, wiik-h Is 10U0 feet above the level
'and, 22110 feet above the sea ieve, a; vein of ore
eight feet wide, which crops out at various points
from the top to the bottom of the mountain, snow
ing in one place about 20 feet ot solid vein. This
veiucan be traced over the top of the mountain for
over a mile, and this deposit alone would aifordan
almost Inexhaustible supply of or, easily worked,
and above the water line. In addition to this four
other veitu have been found on this mountain.
The ore Is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis
from to to 66 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 ot good
quality, 1 -
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 lit. 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 baryteee has Just been found In large quan
tity. - - i - ' -,

I In "some sections of the Western
States the farming interests seem to
be in a prostrate condition, prices for
grain being so low as to scarcely com
pensate for hauling it j to market.
When corn goes down td fifteen cents
a bushel and wheat to less than fifty,
the outlook is indeed gloomy for "the
farmer. The trouble is that what the
farmer has to buy costs him as much
as it did when he got a fair price for
his produce. He cannot but down his
expenses without suffering, and he is
consequently compelled lo suffer. In
portions 'of . Nebraska arid Iowa they
are burning vcorn, which they find
cheaper fuel than wood and coal at
the present prices in j the - prairie
countries. The fact is,; .farming is
overdone -in- the Western c.States
There are too many raisers and - too
few consumers, , 'which inakek'.lhem
dependent upon . eastern or;fc,eign
markets ' and when these" fail- they -
muft suffer. In addition! to" this;
when water navigation! closes-, they;
depend altogether for tranBpertatiOri,
by rail, j which is a heavy tax-' upon,
them, 1 andr 'generally goes up when
water competition ceases. .p: r
The result of all this Will be that
the Western farmer will'begin to look
Southward to a more genial clime,
where-the lands are equally as good,;
whertf he jban raise sbmething c more
than wheat, cef n and oats, where he
can live with less hardship, be better
compensated for his labor and not be
froze up jn the winter. It would not
require much of an effort, it it were
well and systematically directed and
pursued, to start a big Western immi-

section z,bU5 or Tne uoae, page 155,
reads as follows: .The treasurer: of
each county shall report to the 'State'
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
on the first day of December of each
vear. tne entire amount received . or
him under the local assessments pro-
Viaea tor in ttua cuapterj uuruig . tut)
preceding school - year, 'the J. amount
received trom property ana pons, ot
the White arid colored ; districts re
spectively . and " the t disbursements
thereof made by him, designating the
amounts . paid - to teachers tor the
whites and colored respectively, and
section 2,562, page 141, reads: Any
treasurer of a county board 01 educa
tion tailing to make a report required
prescribed shall be guilty of a misde
meanor and fined not less than fifty
dollars and not more than'two hun-
dred dollars or imprisoned not less
than thirty days nor more - tban -six
months, ; in . the ' discretion . of the
court . :"'.-:' ". -7 -
So it is manifest 'the 'law- makers
have done their duty in the premises,"
and it only remains for the courts to
do theirs. I regret tnat we are oong-
el to resort to this remedv. but ' it
seems that no other course; is .left
" -Twenty two days c haiel elapsed
since the expiration of- the time in
which these reports were required to
be made: mucn less tban taac time
remains before the meeting-of theGen-
eral Assembly. - The necessity:, for
these reports is ' so manifest- that,. I
suggest that you keep open that par
of vour report " as . late as, possible.
Put the other parts in the hands of
the Drinter. and iu this way we will
remedv. as far as we can, the evil.
Let us hope that in this way these
reports, though late, will yet be re
ceived in time to get them in yours,:
and in that event, you ; might with"
draw from the solicitors iyour -com
nlamts acainst such as make th& re
port," in the hope, that there will be no
repetition ot tne evn: .
I am. very respectfully, ' - -vYour
obedient servant. '
