The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron 16 Works beg to call the attention of capitalists iron liuuufaciurers, stock and dairy men, and those who wish to settle colonies, to tneir property ,whieh otters inducements to the classes above named. The property consists of Six Thousand Three Hundred Acres of land, located in the counties of oasion and Cieavelaad, in the State of North Car oluia, at King's Mountain Depot, on the Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line railway, how owned by the HichmoiiU huC Danville railroad company. The firoperty has been used . for fifty years past as an rou property,' and has ueen worked at various points, but jJileUy at the site of the celebrated Yellow Ridge Ore Bank, hich 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 f 147 feet, shewing at that depth a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz ing as high as 63 per cent, of metallic iron. This vein has not been worked for twenty years, but tne tacts 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 dkv covered at other points. Within the past eighteen uouths, however, the owners have discovered de iKsits of ore In Crowder'a Mountoln, (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 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 leveJ, 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 bpve been found ou 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 ML Airy, In (ieorgia, and they have reason to believe this mountain is full of oresilso. In addition to iron ore the property has manganese, limestone clay for making Ore-proof trick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex cellent barytese has lust been found lu 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 of level or only slightly rolling land, which produces rfrass, grain and all kinds of farming products Anely, and it Is well supplied with water by unfall ng springs and branches. - . The other 4,000 acres embraced In the mountain aides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and afford excellent natural pasturage for sheep and cattle, The climate Is so mild that bnt little shel ter for stock Is needed in the coldest winters. The whole six thousand acres are now covered with a fine growth of timber of all kinds, such as pine, hickory, oak, walnut, eedar, etc The Jand is well suited to farming purposes, by those who wish to telonize. 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. It Is situated In the Piedmont belt, which is noted for the salubrity of its "climate, 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 ail 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 whole tract, Including mineral lnterests,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 be one-third cash, balance in oneortwyear A valuable water power, which has been used to run large rolling mills, lies adjacent to this prop rty, and can be bought cheaply.

EQUALIZATION OF TAXATION, i We publish tciday th bill intro duced in the House of Representa tives by Mr. Dixon, representative from Cleveland county, for a fair and equalized assessment of property in the respective counties of the State for taxation. The object of this bill, it will be seen is to provide a way to ascei tain, as nearly as practicable, the actual market value of property of Various descriptions subject to as sessment as a basis of taxation, which means is provided irthe local boards of reporters, whose duties and modes of proceeding are set forth in the bill.; These are sworn ; officers, and. are subjected to penalty for false re turns, should they make them. The bill , also provides for a board of equalization, with power to adjust any inequalities, or correct any grievances that may be complained of. In these two clauses consist the essential features of the bill, and by aiming at : the object which these clauses are intended to cover.whether. it be done as here proposed or by some other mSthod, a grat wrong will be righted. It strikes the nail when it proposes to make the actual market value of property the basis of taxation, and leaves not the setting of this value to the opinion of some one, or to the statement of the owner of the prop erty, who, in nine cases out of ten, would be more apt to under-estimate than over-estimate, or even fairly estimate the value. The disparity of valuations in different and adjoining counties, and sometimes even m town ships in the same county, shows this beyond question, and shows the great need, too, of some better nd more business like system of equalizing the burdens' the people have to bear, and of making each county and each citi zen "tote fair," as the phrase goes. There may possibly be here and there a piece of property in the State which is taxed too high, but the gpneral dis position is to go under rather than over the mark, and there is certainly no reason, nor is there any justice in taxing property in one county at a certain figure, and then taxing the same kind of property, as valuable, productive and profitable, in another county at figures ridiculously small. It isthe duty of every citizen who has property to contribute honestly his share to the support of the State which protects him and his property, and no one citizen, because he is will ing and not contentiously disposed, should be made to shoulder more of the burden than another, who is as well able- to bear it as he. These things ought to be governed by a sense of moral obligation, but they are not, and hence the necessity of legislation to enforce equality. We are not prepared to say that Mr. Dixon's measure is the best that may be devised, but it is the best that has yet been presented, and if no better bo presentedr"we ihall cordially endorse it as the remedy for a wrong that ought to have been righted long ago. JLiet Mr. uixon pusn on. xxe is on the right line. A Tammany delegation called cH, Mr. Cleveland in New York and assured him of Tammany's fealty. If Tammany had not been so backward in coming forward after Cleveland's nomination, it wouldn't have been quite such a nipandstuck race in the Empire State, v The artesian well being bored at Atlanta is now 1,270 feet deep. The superintendent thinks that when he gets through the strata of sand stone in which the drills are now working he will strike an inexhaustible supply of pure water, which will supply all the city's wants. The current impression seems to be that the South will have two positions in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet, Postmas ter General and Attorney General. All the bills for the regulation of railroads before the Alabama Legis lature were defeated.- ExsGovernor Jarvis was tendered a very cordial welcome on his return to his home at Greenville. Judging from the Kaleigh papers, there is no lack of oratory in the present Legislature. 1 Chief Justice Waite is at present in Florida, and is improving in health. A BAD ACCIDENT. A Train Goes Through a Bridge A ft amber of Persons Killed and In Jared. .r,.- . ... . ; CRK8TOK, Iowa, Feb. 9. A serious Accident occurred about 10 miles west of this place yesterday afternoon. As train number three, west boundj on the Chicago, Burlington and.Quincy Railroad, approaehed the bridge across a small stream, it struck a broken rail and slid along on the ties until it ran upon the bridge, which went down, carrying with it two coaches and a sleeper, containing from 20 to 25 passengers. The Dag gage ar was the first to leave the trace. It was at first reported that the eh eine and tender had kept the track in safetv. but subsequent reports show that this was untrue, and that both went down in the general wreck, the engineer being killed at his post. Three other passengers were killed and eight injured. The acc dent was Drobably the result of a broken rail caused by the cold weather. - The in iured were removed to the Summit House, at this place, and all that is possible for their comfort is being done by the railroad officials and citi zens. lie Thanks II U Paper Mr. Rlltor: I was Induced by reading four good naner to try Dr. Barter's Iron 'I onlc for debility, liver disorder, and scrofula, and three bottler have cured nie.

If., however, the total number of sales of sales of any one article in a town ship shall fail to -aggregate ten, then the time shall.be extended till the re quired aggregate is obtained, provided said extension Shall not exceed eight years'.

The board of reporters shall' make their returns to the county commissioners on or before the sec ond Monday in June, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, and shall annex the following affidavit, subscribed and sworn to before a jus tice oi tne peace, who shall certify the same: "We, the market reportersof - township, of countv. make oath that the foregoing census returns contains to the best of our. knowledge and belief the correct re cord as required by law, of all the sales of land and real property, horses, muies. cattle and botrs. that have oc curred within the time specified bv law in said township."- bee. 5. ihe board of commissioners shall allow each market reporter a compensation for his services, not to exceed two dollars per day for the time actually employed to be paid by tne coanty : bee. b ihe board of commissioners shall keep in their office a certified copy of. said census returns of the market reporters, and shall forward the originals to the Auditor on or before the second Monday in July, one thousand eight hundred and eighty -five. j- See. 7. The Auditor, when he shall have received the census returns, shall ascertain therefrom the average value, as sold upon the market, of an acre of land, a town lot in each town, a horse, a mule, a head of cattle, and a hog, for each county of the State. He shall then multiply the total num ber of acres of land in the county, ex cept so much as may be otherwise provided for in this act, by the said averagejnarket value of an acre, and in like manner- the total number of town lots of each town by the aver age value of a lot in said town, the total number of horses, mules, cattle. and hpgs, by the average value, re spectively of a horse, a mule, a head of cattle, and a hog. The sum of these results, together with the value of waste lands if there be any, he shall declare to be the aggregate value of land and real property, horses, mules, cattle, and hogs of said county, and said aggregate added to the value of all other species of prop erty that may be ascertained other wise than is provided for in this act. shall be taken as the total aggregate value of real and personal property of said county, and upon this basis the sheriff shall settle with the State Treasurer. Sec. 8. If any county of the State contain vast areas of waste lands, or lands practically valueless, such as swamps, prairies, or mountains of which there are no sales reported, the board of commissioners of such coun ty may send up with their census re turns a protest against including said lands in the calculations of -the Aud itor in ascertaining the aggregate value of lands in the county. If the protest be accompanied by a certified survey, or other papers, or evidence of any kind, accurately locating such lands, to the satisfaction of the Aud itor, he shall exclude said tracts from the total number of acres used in the process of multiplication to find the aggregate value of the lands in the county; but when said aggregate shall have been found, he shall then add thereto the assessed value of the excluded tracts increased by the same per centum as he shall find that that the other lands in the county have increased r over their assessed value under the operation of this act. Sec 9. If the census returns of any town, by reason of their meagreness, or from any other cause, fail to give an aggregate value of land and real property equal to its assessed value increased by a per centum ten : per; centum less man tne per centum ra-i crease of other lands in the township or in the county, if it the town -includes a whole township, then ' the auditor shall declare said returns voicL To fine the aggregate value of land and real property of town, he shall increase its assessed- value by a per centum ten per centum less than the per centum increase ot otner lands in the township, or in the coun tv if the town includes a' whole towniol ' v-' '-: Sec. 10.

They are hereby au thorized and empowered to raise or lower the valuation of . any individ ual's property, or to raise or lower the aggregate value of the property of any township, in a manner as may seem to them just and equitable. Af ter the process of equalization shall have been completed, if the aggre gate assessed values of property do not equal those declared by the au ditor, such a per centum shall be added to or subtracted from the as sessed value of those species of prop erty failing to show said equal ag gregate as shall be necessary to make them equal. The members of this board shall receive a compensation for their services not to exceed two dollars per day to be paid bv the county. ' i Sec. 12.
