SWAIN COUNTY HERALD, CHARLESTON, N. Q, THURSDAY JAN. 10, 1889. SWAIN COUNTY HERALD, Chakt.kstox, N. C. II, A. IIoduk Editor nnd Proprietor. Thf JTrrtdexiiwn for January -1st contains a vast amount of valuable and interesting matter relative to the growth and prosperity of the Southern states. We wieh our space would permit printing Home of the tables in full, but we can 'give only n" brief summary. From these tables we find that -North Carolina' has had an increase of $o2,0S.V)03 in taxable wealth since 1880, which" is . an increase of 30 per cent. In gros. increase the state is. ainth, and in percen tage cigh th , among the Sou th cm states. In the way of indus - tries established within the pasj. year, the state shows 41 cotton anc woolen mills, leading all thtj othcrS; 9 cigar and tobacco factories, in which it al-o leads, 46 woodwork ing establishments, being fourth, 2 agricultural implement factoriesj (5 brick works", two boot and shoe . factories, 10 canning factories, 1 compress, 8 electric1 light works, 4 fertilizer factories, o Hour and grist mills, 5 foundry and machine 4hops, 2 gas works, 2 ice factories,1 12ininos anrkquarrics, .' oil mills, 2 lotteries, 5 railroads, 8 street railways, 3 water works, and 21 ru ise.-lla neons eslal lishments, a' total of 192. The to tal increase in wealth for the Snutb Kimv 1SS0 hns Imm'M SlJi()4.17(.oO-i. and of jo)ulatioii 2,5.S1,878. The Tradesman also dovotes a page to the consideration of valuable Icommercial iiihienils. 'in mention ing the counties of Western ( N. C. where these minerals asi found wo . noticed the entire absence orff Swain, although the names of allthecoun tiessurrounding us are given. This .sepniiJ a little hard, as long as we know that these minerals exist in larger quantities in the coUnty, but i.s perhap.i explained by the general lack of information that exists as to our sources. This state of things will not long exist. The II. & D. II. H. already gives us an out let and we ho; confidently for the building of across line up the Ten nessee river in the iicar future. With two such lines, Swain county will be well irovidd for and even with the one we may open up and doyelop the count' so that capital-j Ists may be induced to come ami invest Of minerals we know that gold, silver, copper, '1-rad, asbastos, mica, corundum and iron have been cltsarlr identified and some, if jiot all of these exist in paying quanti-j- ties. Uien up your roper! les, gen -tlemeri, bring specimens to the IIi:n ALi) ollice where thev may le put -on exhibition anxl bv every m;:ins in your power enlighten the outside world as to our advantages. If you find anythinggorxL, bring it in, the Hukald will gladly make it known. - By a reeont-decision of the state Supreme Court the titles to about "250,000 acres of laiul in this :md adjoining counties have leeu declar ed. invalid. Immediately thereafter several parties mad a rush to enter these lands' and more, long anil ex- pen si ve laws u its Av i 1 1 1 res u 1 1. . This matterof land titles is;a serious draw- . hack to the country. A sood title is the first requisite of 'purchasers. Inability to giv it has turned away manv a man. We halieYV it wouhl pay tins county ricniy to nave an jieciirate survey and plat of the county made, and, by act of legisla ture or otherwise as may b lieces sary, j establish all holdings and titles, thereto according to such plat. Then our registry law would have perfect effect, abstracts of titl 's could be relied upon implicitly and a much freer spirit of investment would result. (Jentlemen of the County, Commission, taxpayers,1 think of this, and lvtving thought, act. Take care of your stock! It may gKem like a large outlay to build . A l warm and dry sheds and barns for ntii-r ltut it 14 ri mniii r : net it Ai What you lay out in logs and the labor of. putting up guch buildings will de more than saved in grain and fodder. There is no excuse fori any iarmer m rwam countv aiiow-i in liw stock to stand out. The m tterial, lugs, shakes and pins can b, cut on. tin 5- farms and a few days work hoing added, the thing is done. Besides the question of .economy, the comfort of-your stock should bo -considered.

During the last two or tnree v ears California has had a boom, and the rush of w visitors and settlers has been much greater in number han during the wild days of '49 arid ,50. Why is this? Simply becanso the State has been widelv and Hi roughly adver- tised. Everv adv antage oi sou, climate, product and scenery has been written up and talked about till almost every iu;m, woman and child in the civilized countries of the world is fully, posted, and can tril you that California is notv'd for its big trees, its vii eynrds, its im mense wheut- ieldsj its gold and silver mines and it climate. Cali- fornians are receiving their reward. They have boomed their state and the Imhmii is on. Wlhv cannot tliis mountain, plateau! be similarly treated? We have climate,, soil, scenery and prduc s that need but bp made known and people will come to us. lAt present there is a most profound iehorance on the subject, and the read all may rest assured that it lies with the inhabitants of this section to make known their advantages if they desire or expect any-great im migration.

OJilce Board cf t!acaUn, Swain county, H. C. ;;':": ';. Monday, Jan. 7th 18SS. - To the Iloiioruble Board of Edu cation: ; I have the honor to submit a tabu lated statement of the Public rxihools of Srain Cmnty for the year 1S.S, which I thiisk to be the most com plete exhibit of our educational work ever compiled. Facts and fgures'tcll so much in fewer words, that I deemed it expedient to resort to that method, instead of a lengthy letter or document of "1 think so's'; and "supposes," without the proo! of what 1 say. By comparing tin present statement with that of 1887, it will be seen that there was an in crease of 1U0 pupils, of four schools, in the numkr taught, an. increas.; of Uo in spelling; an increase of 1-; K studying readers; an increase of I2f, studying writingjan increase of 17U, studying arithmetic; an increase o; ."o,in grammar; art increase of M2, in geography, etc. which shows that the eil'orts of the teachers have been toclo nure work by an increase in the various studies in theii schools. Notwithstanding, the sickness that has been in a majority ofour schools for the year, of 1888, we also had an increased attendance. There was also an increase in the length, of school of two weeks. The average attendance was in creased 100, and the per cent of in crease, was actuary better, m tlie I srhoolf? taivht than it was'in ftiie vear 18S7. bv two ier cent, 187 Uing 80, and" 1888, 32 per cent. uur per cent oi enrollment- Vtr 1888, is bo, beintr about! two-thir of our people oirthe side of litera ture and k-arning.

Large areas of forest favorably affect the climate of the neighbor ing localities. The shaded and po rous soil absorbs moisture, -and cool air fills the glades and sheltered vallevs. This cool air modifies the temperature, and mixing with pass ing warm currents, precipitates the vapor thev contain and causes .showers to -fall where othcrwiic none could be produced except from widelv prevailing conditions. In a wooded country it is not unusual to see a shower falling within sight where the sun is shining, overhead. Comparatively slight causes affect the weather, and as a few ounces may overbalance a great weight that is nicely poised, so the influ ence of a small tract of Woodland may be the cause of considerable variations in the weather over a wide area. Hence farmers should not nesiect this means of restoring the balance which has been des troyed by the cutting away of the timber during past years. New York Times.
