The property consists of six Thousand Three Hunured Acres of land, located In the counties of b as toil and Cleavelaad, In tlxajState of North Car oilna, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, jiow owned by the Richmond and Daiivlile railroad company. The property has been used for filly years past as an hoii property, and has ueen worked at various points, but chleUy at the site of the celebrated Yellow Ridge Ore Bank, which hits always yielded an ore noted for Its rlciihesd iu metallic iron, and Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore, which extends lor two miles in length, has been worked to the dept f 147 feet, showing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 66 per cent, of metallic lion. . 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 mouths, however, the owners have discovered de posits of ore In crowder's Mountain, (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 ot the most desirable Iron properties to be found. They have discovered on the pinnacle of this mountain, which Is iOOO feet above the level land, 22U0 feet above the sea leve, 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 HO 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 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 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 Is 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 Is full of ore also. In addition to Iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making iire-prool brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex . cellent barytese has lust been found In large quan tity. " ' -.. - As a stock and dairy farm It offers fine opportu nities to those who may wish to engage in such bus iness. It has from three to four thousand acres ol luvel or only slightly rolling land, which produces .crass, grain and all kinds of farming products jinely, and it is well supplied with water by unfa li ng springs and branches The other 4,000 acres embraced In the mountain sides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and ftord excellent natural pasturage for sheep 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 fine growth ot timber of ail kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, cedar, etc. The ,land is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to colonize. Cotton, corn, peas, oats, clover and 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 soil, and level and hilly and.

THE BL41K UILIm Tbe Blair bill, which has passed the United States Senate, and is now pending in the House cf Representa. tives, appropriates the sum of' $77, 000,000, running through a series of i ears, a stated percentage to be ap propriated each year for the educa tion of the children in the various States of the Union, the apportion ment to be made on the basis of illit eracy. .Far the larger portion of this sum, if the bill passes the House and becomes a law, will go to the Souths ern States, where it is most needed, and where .the educational question is attended with the greatest' diffi culties. While all profess a desire to see the cause of education promoted, conc3de its vital necessity, and sup port the efforts the States are making in the cause, we still find some oppo sition to the Blair bill on the ground of its unconstitutionality, ; notwith standing the fact that its constitu tionality is maintained by some of he ablest constitutional lawyers in! side and outside of Congress. It is somewhat singular that while mil lions of dollars are appropriated ans nually to the improvement of harbors and rivers, ' some of the latter , of which in dry seasons it is difficult to find, the constitutional objection is lost sight of, and when floods devas tate and cyclones destroy, the con stitution is lost sight of when appro priations are asked for to relieve the sufferers. , , , From our standpoint.the opponents of. this bill are straining the point to defeat a measure which is of vastly more importance to the people of this country, especially, to the people of the South, than the deepening of channels or the levying of banks of rivers, although these are commend ble objects! j If the proposed appro priation of this money for educational purposes were a manifest violation of the constitution, there would be consistency in the opposition on cons Stitutional grounds,but when there is a difference of opinion on the sub ject, and the weight of opinion and authority in favor of the legality of the measure, we believe in availing ourselves cf the benefit of the doubt, if we may so phrase it. If we are to handle the, educational question un aided, withjthe large, the very large,' proportion of, those to be educated contributing nothing, it will be a task that will tax the resources of the States' and good management of the men entrusted with their govern ment. The question of educating the children of these States is a serious and difficult one, and we believe in taking : a common sense, practical view of it, and in availing ourselves of every means offered that involves no surrender of integrity, of honor or of principle, - to aid us in that work and help us out of the trouble. i The United States Supreme Court has recently decided that "a lunatic or person affected with insanity, is admissible as a witness if he has suffi cient understanding to apprehend the obligation of an oath, and is capable of giving a correct account of the matters which he has seen or heard with reference to the question at is sue; and whether he has that under standing is a question to be deters mined by the Court, upon examina tion of the party himself . and any competent witness who can speak as to the nature and ' extent of his in sanity.".' , - It is noteworthy that only -348,845 male and ,372,376 female Parisians were born in Paris, the majority (of the inhabitants of the city.' having come from the provinces,: while 91,' 872 men and- 75,542 women are for eigners. Of these there are 23,981 male ' and '21,3000 '..female Belgians," 15,703, male and 5,874 Italians, 15,441 male and 15,749 female Germans, 12, 264 male and 8,546 female Swiss, 4, 907 male and 6,182 -female English, and 2,954 male and ' 2,973 female Americans, while 149 are miscellanes neous Asiatics.' " . . ' President Arthur last . Friday tens dered Mr; Fred Grant a captaincy in the army, "which, was, respectfully declined because the young man didn't wan t to go bacfc intp the army before his father is put on the retired list, and because he is so heavily; in debt that going back would prevent him from working out. . ; ' Early ( marriages are popular, at Tennant'e Harbour, Me. A girl of 13 was married there Dec. 6. Most of the girls are married between 12 and 15 years of ag3, and it is said to i be nothing . uncommon to find in the same family parents and from one to four children drawin school money. The Pennsylvania railroad compa ny is making experiments with the electric light for lighting passenger cars and with such satisfactory i re sults that it is thought all the passen ger cars on its lines will be so lighted within three months." 1 Gen.

" , To the Editor of Ths Observer, ' ' ' I am glad you call attention to the importance of saving the forests still amongst us. In addition to what you have well said, let me state the fol lowing suggestions: - i (1) Forests not only moderate the temperature and preserve the flow'of springs and streams, but they are be lieved to regulate and moderate the cyclones and hail storms now be coming so destructive all over the South. - ' i - v (2) These forests can easily be" pre served and even improved by a little care in their treatment and manages ment. . Not another acre of original ' forest should be cleared in ' the Pied mont region ; but constant care should be - taken to thin out the ' old J.ahd stunted trees, to be used both for lumber and fuel,' and thus leave the young and growing timber to spread. In a few years all such lands could; be converted Into woods pastures-the most beautiful and the cheapest! of all pastures for this section. In tpis way bur forests could be still utilized for farm purposes and' ready money, and at the same cime all their benifi cent ends and uses preserved and that, too, with a rapid increase! in their value and the value of the ad joining, landsr In a short while jail the hard and other market growths would be vastly improved in size and quality, and add to their value with out one dollar of expense. And such timber is already becoming valuable, and now is the time to see to its pre servation. , U M j (3) Attention should at once j be turned to the proper laying out of avenues, , roads, drives - and other ways on all medium-sized farms, and the planting of trees on some system atic plan. And here it is well enough to correct a popular error, - The day of small, slip-shod farming will soon be gone. The introduction andjeons stant improvement of farm "ma chinery and implements will super cede the, small, blind mule and the one horse, plow. . The land will be iassihg in the hands of substantial andlords, owning from two to five hundred acres, able to buy improved stock and machinery, and they will employ, the small farmers the best of them and the others will go down and off. " The present : tenant system can't last much longer,' and I would advise land owners both large and small to act accordingly. ' (4) Let all permanently settled fam ilies and neighborhoods arrange for tree 'planting days f-as in . the East and West. Such days and festivals would' gradually . take the place of some of our numerous picnics and other gala days-r-much to the ims ! movement of the children and a re ief to the public. - - R B.
