ID The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron Works beg to call the attention of capitalists Iron manufacturers, stock and dairy men, and thuse who wish to settle colonies, to tbelr property .which oilers inducements to the classes above named. The property consists of blx Thousand Three Hundred Acres of land, located in the counties of tiuston and Cleaveland, In the State of North Car ollna, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta unii Charlotte Air lane railway, now owned by the Richmond ant Danville railroad, company: The property has been used, for fifty years past as an iron property, and has oeeu worked at various points, Out chiefly at the site of the celebrated Yeilow Ridge Ore Bank, which has always yielded ai) ore noted for Its richness in metallic iron, and lUsofuiesB and toughness. This vein' of ore, which extends tor two miles In length, has been worked to the dept t H7 feet, showing at that depth a vein ol ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic Iron. This vein has not been worked lor twenty years, but the (acts set forth can be Iully 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 pomyt- Witintft.iastejghteen mouths, however, the ownersJgve discovered de posits of ore In Crowder's Mountain, (nve 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 1000 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 in one place about 20 feet of solid vein. This vein can 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 hue. In addition to this four other vein heve been found on this mountain. The ore l&ajnottled 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 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 mond to Atlanta, except Mt. Airy, in Georgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain & full of ore also. La addition to Iron ore the property has manganese", limestone clay for making fire-proof brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex cellent barytese has Just been found in large quan tity as a stock and dairy farm ft offers fine opportu nities to those who may wish to engage in such bus iness. It has from three to tour mousana acres oi ldvel or only slightly rolling land, which produces .crass, grain and all kinds of farming products jnely, and It Is well supplied with water by unfall Bg springs and branches The other 4,000 acres embraced In the mountain sides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and Afford excellent natural pasturage for sheeD and cattle, The climate is so mild that but little shel ter for stock is needed in the coldest winters. The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a flue growth ot timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak. walnut, cedar, etc The Jand is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to colonize. (JOttoo, corn, peas, oats, cioverana grass, and fruits of all kinds are produced beautifully .and it is specially suited to grapes and small fruits. It could be divided Into small farms that would give to each farm variety of soli, and level and hilly and. It is situated In the Piedmont belt, which Is nntMt for the salubrity of Its cllmafte. and the healthiness of Its atmosphere. It Is a region free from malaria and other unhealthy Influences. It Is located with great convenience to railroad facili ties, being situated at from two to four miles from King's Mountain Station, on a railway that has the most extensive connections with all parts of the country, and which offers great Inducements to those who are trying to develop the country along Its lines. The owners will sell this property to suit purchasers, as follows: The wnoie tract, including mineral interests.for Sixty three Thousand Dollars, or will make favorable terms, reserving the min eral Interest, or will sell one-half the mineral In terest, payments to do one-uura casn, utuoueo in Ana or ttflri ir.

Special Attraction "-"t THE SPARTANBURG AND ASU. ; TILLE RAILROAD. i The Columbia correspondent ol the Charleston News and Courier writes to his paper under date of January 6th as follows, in regard to the con pletion of the link between Hender sonville and Asheville: " "I am able to announce as a fact' that one of the gentlemen controlling the Asheville and (Spartanburg, Rail road,: probably the most influential and capable of its managers, an nounces positively that as soon as the weather will permit work will be be gun on the extension of the road from Henderson ville to; Asheville, and that it will be completed to Ashe ville this summer.. We have heard similar declarations before, but those who ought to know put great iaitn in this." ' - This item was read to Hon. R. Y. McAden, the, president of the rail road, by an Observes representative ydsterday, and that gentleman bland ly remarked that the correspondent alluded to "didn't know anything about it." - " . "" -' . : ' H The real status of the road is em bodied in the following, which we, clip from the Asheville Citizen, and which we understand to have been made public by authority of Mr. Mcn Aden himself: t "About two vears aero some eentle- men who are interested in the R and D. Company purchased a controlling interest in the Asheville and Spartan burg road. Before that purchase, and after the collapse of' the original company in 1878.or 79, earnest efforts to secure means witn which to com plete the road were made, from time to time, bv the president. Mr. Mc-r Aden, in all of which efforts he was not only confronted by the serious financial distress which prevailed, but by a suit of creditors involving the title to the nronertv of the our chasers under the foreclosure, repret sented by Mr. McAden, which suit still pends in the court today. Several times, even under . such circum stances, Mr. McAden was encouraged to say "he would soon begin work.! each time to be disappointed, bows ever, by circumstances which denied him the money with which to do it. Since the members of the R. and D. Company obtained control, some two: years ago, strenuous efforts have; been made to obtain the necessary money, or make satisfactory arrange-! ments by which it could be obtained,! with which to do this-work, iseside the panic, which has grqwn in inten sity with each year, and the suit above mentioned, which still hangs in the Supreme Court of the United states, the Jv and U (Jompany, ioi which the A. and S. road was pur-; chased, could not obtain title (even if undisturbed by the suit) until after tbe first of September last, when it Obtained title to 4 he .Western North) Carolina road, under the, charter of which it could get title to the A. and S. road." The suit involving the title to the enterea several years ago oy jsxy cc Deal, contractors on the road at the time of its construction between Spar tanburg & Hendersonville. It has been in the courts a long time, and has finally '. gone . to the Supreme Court of the United States, by ap- peal. It was argued before that au gust body in December last, but for some reason the decision of the court haa never been rendered. As soon as the litigation is ended, it is under, stood that work will be resumed on the unfinished portion of the road. (' An . impression has prevailed in some quarters that the Richmond & Danville railroad company was in imical to the project oMtmilding the "missing link" between Henderson ville and Asheville, which we believe to be the merest bosh; Last year tbe qitizens of Buncombe county elected a legislative ticket, ' making the' com pletion of the road one of ; the issues in. the campaign. It was asserted that ''some Asheville capitalists pro- 'posed to completed the link if They "could get title to it, President Mc "Aden, for the company, promptly ' 'proposed to convey at once, for "the consideration of one dollar, full "and complete title to that portion if "they would take it and complete it. "Mr. McAden even went so far as to "add that upon the acceptance and '"carrying out of. the proposition "Asheville should have the president "cy and a majority of the directory "of the company, which suggestion "we have always been inclined to "believe was intended as an ironical "reference to the well known indis "position to desire or accept office on "the part ef citizens 'of Buncombe. "The proposition was not accepted ; "it was found to involve money and "not chin music." In an interview in , Chicago Tues day Mr. Hendricks . expressed the opinion that the - Southern States should be represented in Mr. Cleve land s cabinet. He said he had no intention of interfering ; with the President's purposes, political ; or otherwiseJir With reference to Mr. Cleveland's : civil service letter, he believes; the removal of intensely partisan officeholders would satisfy the Democrats. - It may be a matter of interest to the colored people of this section - to learn that the colored emigrants who left this State within the past coupl of years for Kansas,: arei having i rough time, and many of them are kept from freezing to death this win' ter through the assistance of chant able people and associations.

The probabilities are that the business pf. .all would reach $300,000 or $400,000 a year.

EXPORT TAX ON COTTOJI." -A ferlTNTce TEeorTJWTajEf Atlanta Consutution. - A correspondent of the Troy. N. Y. Press urges the incoming Democrat ic administration to levy an export tax on cotton, as the best means of obtaining a revenue, not from ' our own citizens, but from other nations. T.hey must have cotton and eannot obtain it else where. It is the only raw commodity that other nations must purchase from us. The cotton crop of the world may be represent ed by the figures thu'ty five units, reduced as toiiows. in the United tates 29 ; in the East Indies 4 and in Egypt 2 total, 35. ; The small quan tities produced elsewhere need ' nut be. considered. There are again 75,000,000 spindles in the world, and the United States has only 11,875,000 or one sixth of the whole , number. Five' sixths of the cotton' crop is turned into goods outside of the country that produces five sixths of the ;raw products Other nations must purchase over four fifths of our crop or stop the mius m which a vast amount of capital has been invested, and upon which tens of thousands depend ror subsistence. They must buy our cotton. "If," says the cor respondent, of the Press, ''tomorrow morning a law goes into effect that places an export tax ot torty - per cent on all raw, cotjon purchased by foreign nations for export, : and ; at the same time word io sent to all cot ton manufacturers in the United States that every yard of cloth they manufacture shall be sent out of the country free, What would be the effect on our nation? If cotton is selling in our market at ten cents per pound, the foreigner must pay fourteen cents for his pound of cot ton. This protects our manufactur ers four cents per pound, which ad vantage will enable them to: sell their goods in all the markets of the world where cotton goods are used. It en ables our planters to sell sixty cents' ! worth of his cotton product for a dollar: of a foreigner's money or imakes this nation the dictator of prices on its own products There are only two alternatives left for Great Britain and the European continent i one is,' buy our cotton at our : own price or shut , down your mills. If they do not buy our cotton then their mills must stop, for they have only seven parts of the world's crop left for them to purchase. If all the for eign nations are trying to . buy these seven parts the price , will advance so that they cannot compete, with . our tnills, and t hen. we become the cot ton manufacturers of the world. When their mills stop their opera tives are idle and looking for employ ment, t Then our agents should be in Manchester, Oldham and other large manufacturing centres of Great Britain, and they should secure those operatives, take them to the cotton fields of the South, where the water flows with power enough to driye all the spindles of the . world ; ' there where you can pick cotton with one hand and deposit in the iactory with the other, with no transportation to pay, on the raw material. What na tion on earth could compete "with ua who have only one transportation to pay on the manufactured article? Where the motive power is water- casting . nothing, comparatively speakirigf when foreign nations must first go thousands of miles to purchase raw cotton,- then take it back to be manufactured,. ; then aaam transport the manufactured goods over thousands of m les to find a market nesides caving to employ steam power to drive their spindles. An export tax Qh raw cotton will give us the markets of the world inside of six years. Besides we bring into the Southern States and place upon the plantations a population of operatives iter's r his ens that, besides consuming the planter' I cotton, make a home market for his vw. wm. v.uw A w u. M7, ncning the land oy consuming upon it its products, in place of forcing muse products out oune country at the price the foreigner is willing to pay. But, says the objector, Great .Britain won't buy our cotton. She will go to the cotton fields tf India and try, and stimulate production. That is probably true, yet during our war she tried the same thing, and yet she was obliged to pay our high prices. . The facts are that nowhere in the world can so fine an article be produced as in this country, and we must ever stand at the top round of the ladder of production, The most probable effect of an export on cotton would be that English capital would find investment in the cotton fields of our own country, "where the - grand and magnificent water ; powers of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama would be made productive, opening up for that section of our country a new era of prosperity." ' ; .- ? w e present this plausible . plan for the edification of our readers. It reads well on paper, but if carried into effect there would doubtless be a long and vigorous kick aerainst our control of cotton production." . The world would be ransacked for acron that would grow cptton. And in the end we might find that we had killed the goose that laid the golden egg. The goose is in no immediate danger, however' and we present the scheme to' elicit more . than anything else, comment and criticism. . An .Erroneous Notion. Balelgh Chronicle. It has freauentlv been raid tunr-A the election that the present legisla ture contained an unusually larsre number of the foremost men in the State, is, in short, above the average legislature in intelligence, breadth and patriotism. In the first place there is a popular notion1" which we think is erroneous, that as a rule leg islatures are made' up of men of hardly the average intelligence. You can hear a slurring remark about the nonoraoieJoody at almost any corner grocery ' "Better quit scrambling ova&littie places, pass, what bills are necessary and go home," was the re mark of an intelligent business man in Raleigh yesterday. Somehow a number of the people have got it into their heads that the legislature is only a necessary evil. it may be worth while, therefore. to get at the facts. v The assemblies of gentlemen that were called to or der today in the two balls in the cap itol are entirely out of the common. The average intelligence of them is greater than that of any other body of the same size that' assembles in North CaroKna-seeular or eccelesN astical; and the Chronicle is dis posed to think ) that the Assembly will compare favorably with the leg islature of any State in the Union.. : It is a very promiscuous body of meh some old,many young; men of professions and ' callings ; men of n races : men of all sorts of train ing and experience; rich J men aud poor men ; good men and men who will bear watching; but the hard. common sense, the aspirations, the culture of the people of North Caro lina are adflwrably represented.
