Geni. Tiios. Ii. Clingluan, former
ly United States Senator from North
Carolina, who has given much atten
tion to tne development ot tne re-
BonrcM of thfi Sonf.h ia now in .tne
city. Xn a conversation on the South
T iri i i i
ana ia iucure, yesieraay, ne express
ed hirnseil as follows :
"As, to the industrial and financial
condition of the Sooth generally I
can- say tnat tuere is a steady lm
provement. I speak more particular
ly, as to North Carolina, be
cause I know it best. In that
State We struck the bottom heavily
in 1865. I then thought some , of
oar people would starve to death,
but I ; think they all by great effort
and industry escaped. Taught by
the severe suffering of the latter
years of the war and the period f ol
lowing1 it, they have generally work
ed harder and spent less than they
formerly did, and there has been a
steady improvement ever since
Now I doubt if there" is a State' in
the Union where there is among the
people less real want of the necessa
ries of hie. If any man there was
too lazy to work, I think he would
be fed to save the expense of bury
inz him. Though there are few
wealthy persons among us yet, the
peophi generally are comfortable and
getting so eacn year, lney aro un
proving their farms and houses, have
gotten new working tools, and in
creased their live stock. Every
branch of business is advancing.
The gram crops are ample for our
wants, and both wheat and corn are
being exported. Rice culture is in
creasing, and the cultivation of cot
ton i$ extending up to the very base
of the mountain region. Tobacco is
even a better money crop "than
cotton. This last article has made
creat progress in tho mountain re
gion.'
Shortly after the war Mr. Shelton,
a Virginian, who had been utterly
broken np at home, came to my
county of Buncombe, rented a. small
piece; of land, and made some tobac
co oil it He succeeded so well that
the Jjusiness of raising fine tobacco
has1' 'doubled itself perhaps every
year , since m Buncombe and Madi
son ooiuities. Mr Shelton, with his
Buncombe tobacco, took the first
premium at the fairs at Raleigh,
Danville, Richmond, at the great Vi
ennaWorld's fan-, and at the Phila
delphia Centennial Exposition. As
much as four dollars per pound has
been realized for some of the fine to
bacc6 of that region. Major Rollins,
who has been for some years making
tobacco' in Madison, told me recently
that last year he rented some wood
land to a colored man, who cleared
three acres and cultivated it in to
bacco. Major Rollins lent a horse to
plow; it, and after the tobacco had
been sold the net proceeds amounted
to S21 per acre. Major Rollins re
ceived one half for his share and the
colored man kept as much. Major
iiollms said tbat forty dollars per
acre would cover the expense of
cleariner the land and making and ;
curing the tobacco. It thus appear
ed that the colored man, besides
makieg a grain crop, cleared on the
three acres nearly two hundred dol
lars in cash. j
I mention another case in the ad
joining county of Buncombe. A
poor man rented land on Turkey
Creek, ten miles from Ashoville, and
besides grain put in some tobacco.
His wife, in addition to doing all the
housework, put into the garden gome
tobacco, and tended it entirely by
herself. After all the expenses had
been paid, including the commissions
i ii ii i ' 3 tai n - r
JiO ine seuer, sne received iiq. mr.
Justice the county surveyor of Bun
combe, told me he was curious
enough to have the patch surveyed,
and that it contained only one-fourth
of ah acre. This was at the rate of
$460 per acre.
Such cases as these were remarka
ble, but I was assured that for the
last two years the prices of tobacco
in Buncombe and Madison had aver
aged cents per pound. As one
acrej generally yields rrom 600 to
8.Q0 txiundsl this would be equal to
about $150 per acre. Suitable land
can . be bought in those counties,
cleared and cultivated in tobacco,
and ithe crop put into the market, for
less s than $50 per acre, Xn other
words, a man can have his land ready j
for a grain or a grass crop free of
expense, and with from $50 to $100
in money in his pocket. Along the
mountain streams there are heavy
fogs, -which improve the tobacco,
wbalie the lands are gxytajyia for the
production of fine tobacco. - There is
an ajnundance of this land m several
of our "Western counties. I do not
believe that one fiftieth part of these
lands have yet been cleared. , If it
were known that in Kansas, or any
other Western State, a man' could, in
a single year, have land cleared and
ready for crops free of all expense,
with more than $50 in his pocket for
each acre, there would be a rush to
that region. ' Several North Carolin
ians, who had nothing a few years
ago,' are represented as now, being
worth several thousand dollars each.
I may say that the swamp lands
of the Eastern part of the State pro
duce, when cultivated, as much corn
per acre as any lands in the world.
Prof. Emmons, who, after making
an agncultural survey of the btate
of New York, made one of North
Carolina, said two of our Eastern
counties (which he named) could if
drained and cultivated, grow mora
corn than the whole State of New

There is some movement pro
gress to open the gold mines, and
our deposits of fine iron ore axe- at
tracting some attention from capi-;
talists. Our most profitable mining,
however, is for mica. L.Jn('lgg8j I
caused some nnca mines to-be, open
ed m .Mitchell county, nd . I am told
that morA than half the nrioa- of the.
markets of the world is obtained , in
that, county. It is certain that, jtbis
ana two or three other counties in
the State furnish the greater part of
the mica used. . . t -.,-.
In the year 1847 I discovered cor
undum in large lumps in Madiacm:
county. , This circumstiujpfc probftT
bly led. to other, discoveries, ia. the.
State. The best conmdumninp' in.
the world is situated in Ma&on cQUhj
ty. Drl Lucas, who wben I first
met him, was working the -'emery
mine at Chester, Mass., has for sev
eral years been operating this run
dum mine m Macon, U6t told me
he was taking oat about three ..hun
dred tons per annum at a fine profit,.
As corundum has twice the abrading
power of emery, it ought to be worth
many times more per pound. . . It n
rrof, Shepard, to whom i . sent
formerly many thousand specimens
of minerals, used to say that there
was a greater variety of minerals in
a circle of hi ty miles arouna Ashe
ville than in any other part of the
State. This fact renders : new dis
coveries of valuable minerals prDba
ble. In connection with corandum
I may say that I. obtained and inad
cut and set a ruby which Prof Shep
ard pronounced the finest American
ruby he had ever seen. . Dr. t Jjucas
told me that he had obtained at j his
corundum mine several fine gems.
It was published several: years ago
that I sent Prof. Shepard the dnv
