10 The owners of The Crowder's Mountain Iron
Works beg to eail the attention of capitalists Iron
iuanuf;tcturers, stock and dairy men, and those
who wish co settle colenles, to their property.whleh
oilers Inducements to the classes above named.
Tiiepropeity consists of six Thousand Three
Uunured Acres of land, located In the counties of
Wstou and Cleufetaad, In tne State of North Car
oiina. at King's Mountain Vtpot, on the Atlanta
ami Charlotte Air Line railway, now owned by the
Kiclinioiid and Danville railroad company. The
property has been tued for fifty years past as an
iron property, and has ueea worked at various
point, but chiefly at the site of the celebrated
Youurt Ridge ore Bank, which has always yielded
.aa ore noted lor Its richness In metallic Iron, and
Its softness and toughness. This vein of ore,
wnlcii extends for two miles In length, has been
worKcdtuthe dept f 147 feet, shewing at that
depto a vein of ore about 40 feet wide, and analyz
ing as high as 68 per cent, of metallic iron. This
velu nan not been worked for twenty years, but the
(acts set forth can be fully shown. Various other
veins have been worked, and within the past two
years very iarje deposits of Iron ore have been dis
covered at other points. Within the past eighteen
raoiniw, however, the owners have discovered de
iiosits of ore in Crowder's Mountain, (live veins of
iron ore, are exposed I, 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 luOO feet above the level
land, 'Zitu feet above the sea level, a vein of ore
eltfM tcet liliie, which crops out at various points
from the top to the Uultfiw of the mountain, show
ing in one place about IS feet of solid vein. This
vein can tM 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 vein 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 is sunpiy Inexhaustible and of good
duality,
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 co Atlanta, except -kit. 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 slay for making lire-proof
brick, gold and other minerals. Very pure and ex
cellent barytese has just been found lu large quan
tity. As a stock and dairy farm It often fine opportu
nities to those who may wish to engage In such bus
iness. It has from three to four thousand acres ot
lefel or only slightly rolling land, which produces
ras8, grain and all kinds of fanning products
rfnely, and it Is well supplied with water by unfili
ng springs and branches
The other 4,000 acres embraced In the mountain
sides are productive of fine grass and herdage, and
aflord 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 all kinds, such as pine,
hickory, oak, walnut, cedar, etc. The jland is well
suited to farming purposes,' by those who wish to
colon Ue. Cotton, com, peas, oats, clover and grass,
and fruits ot all kinds are produced beautifully nd
It Is specially suited to grapes and small fruits. It
joultl be divided into small farms that would give
to each farm variety ot 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 tth (Teat 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

REFORM. ' : .
Reform moves slowly; One of the
most difficult things in the world to
do is to get people out of the old ruts
in which the generations before them
travelled. In many respects it is
much easier to build than to pull
down, .to introduce a new method or
custom than to root out an old ono
where that new one comes in conflict
with the old one. This is illustrated
in many questions that have been
under discussion in the press and in
the Legislature of North Carolina,
and strikingly so in the fence and no-
fence question which has occupied
no little of the attentiori of the pres
ent Legislature. Mecklenburg was
the first county in the State to aboU
ish the fence, and since then ; the exs
ample has been followed, more or less,
in other counties of the State. In the
early stages of the ' discussion there
was violent opposition to the no fence
idea in this county, because some
people had idea that to restrain stock
from running at large and grazing
upon the lands of others was an in
fringement, not only of the liberty of
the-stock, but also upon the rights of
the . owners of the stock. . But
tho law had scarce had a fair
trial before public judgment endorsed
it, and now opposition to it is un
heard of and unknown. Under the
old system it cost the farmer more
money than many of his acres were
worth to fence them according to the
requirements of the law. and whether
these acres were productive or not,
they had to be fenced according to law
to protect them from tresspass or
from the depredations of - roaming
hogs and cattle. In addition to the
first cost of fencing, a big item of
expense, these fences had to be kept
m repair and kept under inspection
to guard against damage by storms
or stock, & source of additional ex
pense every year, all of which the
Mecklenburg farmer may now avoid.
From a business standpoint it does
look absurd that the 'farmers of the
State should spend millions of dol
lars fencing in lands to keep out
stock not worth one-fifth of the sum
it takes to fence them out, when they
could be fenced in for a sum insig
nificant in comparison. But the
idea is growing ; other counties have
learned by observation the folly of
the old method, and are thinking of
adopting the new. It is only a
question of time when the fence will
be among the things that were and
not among the things that are.
Capt Lee Hall, whom one report
says was killed, and another says had
his leg shot off in a fight with Mexi
can marauders who crossed the Rio
Grande, is a son of Dr. Jas. K. Hall,
of Greensboro, and as brave a man
as erer stood, in boiots. He moved to
Texas' some twelve years ago or more,
and soon established a reputation for
dauntless courage that i made his
name familiar throughout the State.
His conflicts with desperate charac
ters, joutlaws, Mexican marauders,
highwaymen &c, would make an
interesting narrative. We trust the
reports about his ill fortune are un
founded.
Mrl Henry George, the g reat com
munist, says that the work of the

irreparable mjury to the cause of
Ireland. While1 it infuriates and
consolidates the enemies of that un
fortunate country, it horrifies and
crushes the hopes of the real friend
of Erin. Ireland's onlv hone is in a
peaceable .revolution in popular sen
timent in England. : . "

' Englishmen are now talking about

JSORTH CAROLINA IN THE WAR
BETWEEN THE STATES
Ab Appeal to the Survivor and Com
fades of the late War. -
To the Editor of Ths Obsikver.
The hiBtory of the part performed
by North Carolina in the "War Be
tween the States" has not heretofore
been attempted.. An unembellishei
narative of North Carolinas efforts in
the the great struggle to maintain con
stitutional rights would be the bright
est energy that could be pronounced
upon the people of the State. Justice
demands that such a narratsve should
be attempted. The attempts has been
made and the work completed. The
author has made every effort to res
cue from everlasting oblivion the
deeds of North r Carolina soldiers.
None were braver, none were more
consecrated to the great work of de
fending what they held to be sacred
and just and none performed a more
glorious part in the four years of
trial, suffering and death.
Notwithstanding the , fact that
North Carolina bore more than her
proportionate part in the late war,
and left upon the battlefields more
bleached bones than any other State,
yet up to the present time she has
been without a historian, and the
deeds of her valoi and of her gallant
soldiers are unrecorded and almost
unknown.
A record of the deeds, valor, and
heroism of these soldiers must be
written by a North" Carolinian. This
is evident from the socalled histories,
in which there has been a studied ef
fort to conceal the'exploits of officers
and privates from our State. They
have failed signally failed to place
North Carolina in a proper light, and
to show that from the beginning to
the close of the war she was one of
the main pillars of the Confederacy.
If I have overestimated my powers
or underestimated the requirements
necessary to the successful execu
tion of the task ' I have undertaken,
I beg the reader to attribute my er
ror to the interest I feel in seeing
North Carolina placed in the front
in the general history of the war, in
stead of occupying a position in the
back ground as she has done hereto
fore. At the suggestion of many subscri
bers to my history to the State I
came to the servants of the people,
now in session at your capital, to
ask their aid in publishing a State
work, as a citizen of the State and
its defondor four four long years. I
was refused.-
To these who have already sub
scribed for the history, or who may
desire to subscribe, I'novf 'make this
last appeal. Please send lyour suc
scriptionj $5 the price of the book
of over nine hundred pages wiih
maps ;and engravings of our dead
generals to th treasurer-of the
State, Mr. Donsud W. Bain, who will
return you a receipt ' for the same.
Arrangements; have been made with
the publisher to get the work out.
When ready for delivery he will
send the work to the treasu8er( re
ceive his money. Jandthe treasurer
will deliver or send the copy of the
work to the subscriber.
Do not you owe this duty to yoar
dead andyour living?

Col, John A. Sloan:
My kind friend: For the sake
of the next ' generation and the
honor and welfare of the people I
would wish there were many writers
in the land who, like yourself,
would maintain the justice of our

tion and of the permanent interests
of all the people of the UuitodJStates;

A Word With the Gins.
Amerloau Quean.
The girl of sixteen who will neither
sew nordo house-work has no busi
ness to be decked out in finery and
rambling about in search of fun and
frolic unless her parents are rich, and
in that event she needs the watchful
direction of a good mother none the
less. There is no objection-to fun,
but it should be well chosen and well
timed. No woman or girl who will
not work has a right to share the
wages of a poor man's toil. If she
does not work, if she makes the
clothes she wears and assists -in the
household duties, the chances are she
will have enough self-respect to be
have when playtime comes; but if
she should still be a little "wild," the
honest toil she has done will confer
upon her some degree of right to
have her own way, lil-iuagea tnougn
it may be. The wild girl usually as
pires to prominence in some social
circle or other, and her manners and
conduct are in greater or less degree
designed to attract the following of
men. She should remember that fol
lowers are not always admirers, and
tnac tne most sincere aamiratiou
man never reels for a woman in a
drawing room is when he looks upon
her, and says in his own conscious
ness. "Bhe is a periect laay."
Southern Vs. Scoth Iron.
The Commercial Bulletin, of New
York calls attention to the fact that
Southern pig iron has almost .driven
Scotch pig iron out of the market.
Says the Bulletin: "Formerly the re
ports universally naa tne woras
Scotch where Southern now appears.
Besides serving the purpose, as far as
quality is concerned, the Southern
iron has a decided advantage in the
matter of cost, being some fa or $3
per ton cheaper. The production at
the South, it may be added," has in
creased no less than five fold during
the last six years. A present the
caDacitv of furnaces in blast there is
about 20 per cent, of the total capacU
tv ot active turnaces in tne wnoie
country. Six years ago it was less
thau 10 per cent. The periods com
oared are those in which the general
iron industry experience somewhat
similar depression; and the marked
changed for the better in the volume
of production, Attended as it is by a
fair measure of success in - competing
with Pennsylvania products ana
ousting Scotch - iron, the change at
the South is ot no mean importance.

THE WORLD'S EXPOSITION.
Everybody Should See ttLet the Rail
roads Adopt a Liberal Poller the
Matter ol Rates.
Charlotte, N. C, Feb. 14.
To tho Editor of Tax Obsbbveb,
I am pleased to see that for good
reasons and authority you commend
to the public the great exposition
now opened in tne city ot New Or
leans. It has had many difficulties
to contend with, as you have shown.
But the chief of these has been the
want of time to prepare such a dis
play of the world's productions. You
will recollect that it was first pro
posed as a mere cotton exposition.
As this nroe-reaaed th manaererfl noon
found that other productions of the
soil,'; the mines, woods, - minerals,
commerce, I arts and sciences all
claimed a place at the show. These
could not be excluded without an un
just and illiberal policy. Thus a more
extended and liberal policy had to be
adpted. Greatly enlarged expendi
tures, with buildings far more ample
and conmodious, with broader ideas
and schemes, had to be resorted to
and matured within comparatively
a short period of time. To change
from a cotton fair to a world's show
was no light undertaking. But it
has been done, and the grand exhibit
is there and worthy of all communis
cation. It is a credit to the mans
agers, through all their difficulties.
JNow it rests witn tne country to
make it a success financially, simply
by going to see it the greatest ex
hibit of the world's productions that
the Southern people will probably
ever nave to witness
If it is a success it will be of great
benefit to the South, but if it proves
a failure it cannot help us. Although
amuch greater exposition than the
centennial exhibit at Philadelphia,
yet we can hardly expect it' to be fi
nancially so great a success, irnilas
delphia, a very large city, situated
in the center of the densest popula
tion of the States, surrounded by the
largest cities of the Union, within a
fw hours run and easily accessible,
by tne number and position of its rail
and water, transportation, was more
favorably located than New Orleans
for such a purpose. The white popu
lation, who principally suoDort such
intellectual expositions, for 500 or
1,000 miles is sparsely and thinly set
tled around New Orleans. To reach
it many persons will have to travel a
long distance, which takes time and
money. This many ot the transpor
tation lines South and West of us ap-
preciate, and have greatly reduced
their fare; for instance, from Charles
ton, . Augusta and Atlanta to about
two cents per mile for the round trip.
The Western railroads and steam
boats have heretofore charged only
about these rates from the first open
ing. The railroads can do much to
make this grand display a success.
The Danville system has already
done much to help the exposition,
and by its liberal policy makes a
splendid show in New Orleans. Now
we hope it and all other roads m the
south will reduce their charges to not
exceeding 2i cents per mile for the
round trip, and the visit will be in
reach of many who will not other
wise be able to go. 'This will greatly
help the cause of the South as well as
the roads, and help to make a grand
success of the greatest exhibit the
world has ever seen. The effect of
such virtuous and intellectual shows
are to liberalize and improve man
kind, besides the bemncent effect of
extending and enlarging our com
merce with the civilized nations of
the world, and especially with Mex
ico, South American States and the
West Indies. W. J.

The London policemen seem to be
of wonderfully trustful disposition
fc men who see so much of the worst
side of human nature. One of them
stopped an American the other day,
because he carried a suspicious look
ing" tin box. The officer wanted him
to "swear on his honor 1" that it did
hot contain dynamite. The Amen
can "swore ' and was allowed to pro
ceed. Apparently the policeman rea
soned that a man who carried : dyna
mite, could not lie about it. such
faith in the word ot a stranger is
touching and chivalrous, but over
here such a policeman would be con
sidered decidedly in need of saulting.

The following tetter dated January 14, 1S85, has

'MkS. JOK P2R30N:
'-Madam On the 23th of last May a boy child
well developed in- every respect was born In this
city, bnt the "King of Terrors!' began to chisel
about Its little heart, and' notwithstanding Its
plump and vigorous constitution the poison In the
blood soon began to manifest itself in what the
medical mon term 'Eczema,' 'Papura,' or Heredl-,
taryTalut.' Some old 'mothers concluded the
child had the -yellow thrash.' -Yet whatever the
disease It was certainly a stubborn master for the
doctor s. '
The mother took the little sufferer to the coun
try, hoping that the pure fresh air might be bene
ficial, arid Dr. , of Lumberton, was called to
treat the case. He pronounced it Ecz-raa, and did
all he could for it, but to no purpose, any more
than to check the feverto which the disease sub
jected the boy. . : V .:
"At the first frost the victim was again removed
to the city, and Immediately Dr. was called
and he pronounced the disease 'Pupura,' and pre
scribed accordingly, feeding np the, disease on Iron
and other minerals until the babe's mouth be
came so sore that-for two weeks it did not nurse,
A friend suggested as a last hope and resort
. . 'MRS. JOB PEBSON'S EEMEDT.'
" ; ' All means of procuring any more help or medi
cine had tailed, and in litis hour of deepest de
snair the poor mother went and asked her drug
gist to let her have one bottle and one package of
the Itamedr. and was refused, because she old not
have the money to pay for-tt. She pawned her
wedding ring and raised $1.50 to pay for the medi
cine.
'-When she gave the child the first dose, three
weeks ago to-day, the Utile fellow was amass of
scaly sores from the hips to the knees,and at seven
months old had never borne his weight on his feet.
T day, by the help of God and a faithful adminis
tration Of the Remedy the child Is weU and strong
In tlie legs, and last Sabbath morning while the
mother was weeping at the necessity of drying up
her breast, he took bold and nursed as strong and
vigorous as ever. The administration of the
Betnedy Is still kep up to effect a complete cure. -

Mrtt. to take It for Inflammatory Ebeuma-
