Th property has been used, for hf ty years past as an" Iron property, and has been worked at various points, out chleny at the site of the celebrated Yellow Ridge Ore Hank, which has always yielded an ore noted tor its tidiness in metallic iron, and Its softness aud toughness. This veiu of ore, which extends lor two miles In length, has been worked. to the dept t 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein ot ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic iron. This - rem has not been worked for twenty years, but the (acts set lortb cau be fully shown. Various other veins have been worked, and within the past two years very' large deposits of iron ore have beeu dis covered at other points. Within the past eighteen months, however, the ownerajjave discovered de posits of ore in Crowder's MdZTutln, (live 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 1UU0 feet above the level land, 2200 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 iu one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This vein cau be traced over the top of the mountain for over a mile, and this deposit alone would afford an almost Inexhaustible supply of ore, easily worked, and above the water line. In addition to this four other veins hpve been found on this mountain. The ore Is a mottled gray ore, showing on analysis from 49 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 la simply inexhaustible, and of good Quality. : . Besides Crowder's Mountain the owners possess .King's Mountain, for about seven miles, whose pinnacle is the highest point of land from Rich- they have reason 40 believe this mountain U 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- ' cedent barytese has Just been found In large quan tity.

There is complaint among some of the merchants of North Carolina at the imposition by the State of ; a lis cense tax of one tenth of one per cent, on their gross purchases (ex cept farm products-purchased direct ly from the producer) a statement of which, under oath, is required to1 be made out twice a year, within ten days after the first of January, and the first of July, to be filed with the register of deeds. In addition, to this the merchant pays an ad valo rem tax upon his stock, eo that he is taxed twice upon the same thing. Aside from the fact that 'the tax is regarded as unjust by some, there are still other objections that . outs weigh the benefits that accrue to the State from it. In the handling of all stocks of goods of a damagable chars acter, the liquor , merchant, grocer, dry goods merchant, druggist and Others sustain material loss by dam- age in shipment, leakage, wasteage, dust and other causes which is pot taken into account, when taxes are paid. This may hot amount - to a very large figure in any individual case, but iu the aggregate fit does, and we are discussing this matter, not from an individual but . general standpoint.' As a matter of equity we tee no reason why the merchant should pay an ad valorem tax on bis- stock in hand and then be taxed in addition for the privilege of purcha sing that stock, any more than the man who buys a house and lot should after paying the taxes on that house and lot, be taxed for buying it. Then again there is something of an inquisitorial cast about this special tax. : for it, J practically speaking, makes public record of the business transactions of those involved which is taken advantage of sometimes Jby rivals; to annoy or damage those whom they would annoy or damage, and it is a temptation,' also, to those who are not above such temptation, to make large returns ; for the pur pose of appearing to do a large busi ness, or small returns to , lessen, the amount of tax to be paid. Thdse, of course, arj exceptional cases, : but nevertheless the temptation is there all the same. In fairness it j is enough that the .merchant be taxed by the State but once on the goods he handles, in the handling of which he has to encounter the depressions in trade, the fluctuations in prices, bad debts and numerous other contingen cies, that make the margin for profit small under favorable circumstaaces, and which annually send thousands in this and other States into bank ruptcy. v ' ".; J-v , ..;. But it is not only " the merchant who is affected, but the consumer as well, for every additional cent of cost put upon an article consumed, by taxation or otherwise, adds that much proportionally to the cost of the article to the consumer who, in the long ruD, pays' the difference. and who is quite as much interested in this matter as the merchant is. though the merchant feels it more dK rectly than the man who buys his goods.' This whole tax question is a complicated One, and it is no easy matter to readjust it so that its bur dens will be equally borne ; but the law that requires a man to pay dou ble tax on the same property is man ifestly unfair. The newspapers are paying-Grov. Jarvis some very high compliments as his administration draws to a close, and he deserves it all. No Gov ernor that North Carolina has ever had has served her more zealously or faithfully, . or with better .results. While Btudying the interests of the people and economy of government;, hd has been a progressive Governor, keeping a sharp eye on the material progress and development ;of the State, and has done all in his power to bring North Carolina to the front n the march; I Chief Justice " Waite" is suffering from the effects of a stroke of paraly sis last summer, confining him about six weeks. ' About two months ago erysipelas attacked his face and head, and his physicians and friends are apprehensive that it . may, 1 unless checked, reach the brain and prove fatal. He is in his 69th year. ; John R. IcLean, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, before their departure from Cincinnati for the East, presented his bride with an 180,000 diamond necks lace, the diamonds forty -one in num ber, with a $5,000 centre stone. See wBat it is to be a newspaper man where the cash' system prevails. j Thirty-five years ago there was not a house where the city of Mn-r neapolis, Minn., now stands, with its 125.000 population and thriving in-: dustries.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IMPROVE JtlEftTS . Report of the Commissioner oa the Progress ol Wpik andits Rtcommei dauons. Washington,' Jan. 7. The annual report of the Mississippi river com missioners was today transmitted to uongress. in speaking of the con siruction of the works and referring to the flood which occurred in the latter part of February last, the commissioners say that the river remained high for a long period and but little worh could be done before the first of July. The damage to the work was on the : whole : less than might have been anticipated. The dykes sustained: much less injury than had been the case in former years, which was due, no doubt, to the improved methods of construes tion which had been adopted, but revetment work, much of which had been left in an incomplete state,', suf fered severely. Puring the present season all of the damage has been repaired. : nl; v " , Referring to the levees the : report assumes that no argument is needed to attest the practicability of i the levee system. It" is thoroughly es tablished by large experience that faithfully constructed levees of suffi cient proportion and age to have set tled and become sod covered, -would resist any pressure. The commis sion recommends the construction of new, and the raising of ' existing levees along all parts of the river where the highlands are too remote to check the passage of large vols umes of flood water outside of : the bed of the river, or in other words on the entire right and also the; left bank below Baton Rouge and from the Yazoo river to hair bend t below' below Memphis. , . The commission makes the follow ing estimates for the fiscal year, ends ing June 30, 1886: . ; For surveys, $100,000: for: salaries and expenses of commission and as sistant engineers, $100,000; for rivers irom tne uea Moines to the Illinois river, $500,000; from the Illinois river to Cairo and head of passes, in cluding Red river at and below Atch afalaya, $7,000.000 ; for harbors at Columbus, Ky., '$80,000; Hickman, Ky , $270,000 ; Memphis, $75,000 ; Greenville, Miss., $186,000; Vicks burg, $20,000; Natchez, $700,000; New Orleans, $686,600: SOUTHERN PROGRESS. How the South Came to the forefront in 1884. . Baltimore, Jan. 7. The Manufacs turer's Record in its annual review of southern industries will tomorrow publish a list of all the manufactur ing and mining enterprises organized in the Southern States in 1884, giving the name, location and character of the business of each. The list shows 18,600 new enterprises with aggregate capital reaching the enormous sum of $105,269,500 divided among fourteen Southern States as follows: Alabama, loo new egtaoii6hments with a cams tal of $16,925,000; Arkansas 46, with a capital of $2,040,000; Florida 95, witn $2,323,000 capital ; Ueorgia 196, with $5,455,000 capital ; Kentucky 137, with $21,762,000 capital; Louisis ana 53. with $5,534,000 capital ; Mary- ana iuo, witn S7,1Z1,5UU capital ; Jais- sissippi 40, with $1,295,000 capital; North Carolina 226, with $4,110,000 capital ; South Carolina 53, with $2,s 174,000 capital; Tennessee 250. with $7,910,000 capital; Texas 221. with $10,778,000 capital; Virginia 188, with $13,450,000 capital; West Virginia 77. with $4,393,000 capital: In Jens tuoKy Alabama and Virginia some extensive mining and iron companies with large capital . were organized, which runs up the total of invests ments in those States, though they also added many of the smaller in dustries. The list shows that almost every branch of general manufac tories is represented. . Cotton and woolen mills, machine shops, foun dries, blast furnaces, ice factories, saw mills, planing mills, building material factories, carriage and wags on factories, handle factories, etc., very numerous. There are many flour miils and more tobacco factories and a large number of cotton seed oil mills as well as mining enterprises of all kinds, gold and silver, copper, mica iron, .coal, etc. -A noticeable feature is the amount of Northern and Western capital going into the South, though the Southern people themselves are showing remarkable energy in developing their resources.

McCulloch to extend the time within which the taxes falling due on their product in the next six months may he paid. Attorney Gen eral Brewster s -opinion on the com petency of the Secretary to make the desired extension is relied upon as a sufficiently good basis for the action eought. The time desired is from six to twelve months.. In January, 1885. the tax falls due on 2,956,630 gallons: in February on"2,852,052 gallons; in March on 2,820,158 gallons; in April on 2,573,256 gallons; in May on 1,820,. 992 gallons; in June on 747,508 gals ons. in the following six months but 800,009 gallons will have to be paid for, so that an extension of six months will ellect nearly all that is at present desired. Within the past year 240.000 barrels have been ex ported to i avoid taxes about to fall due, and if the Secretary should prove refractory, some eight million gallons will, it is estimated, be sent abroad in the next six months. - ,-: 1 - , I m i m . .
