C, is one of the loveliest as well as one of the most noted towns along the east ern Hand of the Blue Ridge moun tains. It has been visited for years past by the people of the lower sections of the State escap ing from the continuous and op pressive heats of summer and de sirous of renewiug their strength for the labors of the ensuing busy seasons. It was also the principal trading town for the people beyond the mountains, who came over their great backs to bring their products for exchange for luxuries and the manufactured articles. The main roads over the moun tains nearly all ran through Mor canton, and it was known by travellers throughout the South em States. Now it is a thriving railroad town on the Western North Car This nowder never varies.

PRESCRIPTIONS comnounded at all hours, dav or night, by a Registered Pharma cist. . it day and night, in elegant buffet cars from New York; and a day from Washington, "Atlanta, Au gusta and Charleston to the exhil erating atmosphere where the huge blue mountains wear tur bans of white clouds and the. pure waters flow cold and bright from everv hillside. , ,. It is the chief town of Burke county, which is traversed by the beautiiul Catawba river, draining its entire area. It is bounded on the south bv the crest line of the South mountains over three thou sand leet high, shooting oil spurs in a northerly and northeasterly direction almost to the middle of the county. Linville and Table Rock, massive spurs of the Blue Ridge, four thousand feet high, are its northern elevations, and from them are ' thrust out long rugged lines of mountains as high as the sky, running into the south. The whole county lies thirteen hundred feet above the level of the sea. Its forestry is grand and vaned. The broad, deep bottoms ot loam bear good crops of grain, and the lighter soils of the upper folds of t-Vio mnnnf'iin am farnris tVT t'vnifs and yellow tobacco. Along the southern flanks of the South moun tains, cotton the "snow of south ern summers," has whitened the fields under the green shadows of the hardy cereals. This is the country that environs this beautiful town, and from which it derives immediate sup port. To repeat: it has always been resorted to by those in quest oi health. Why? Because it - is healthful, beautiful in situation, and the abode of hospitality aud barter business is done, are a number of thriving factories. Owing to the abundance of the raw materials, the manufacture of all kinds ot articles made of wood could be profitably carried on. It would not be easj' to rind more or better timber that can be had in the country from which Morgan- ton could draw its timber supplies. Fruits and vegetables in perfec tion and great abundance go to waste for lack of consumption. Every garden is lull, and there is scarcely a market for them in mid summer. The mineral wealth of this sec tion is untold. In a range from the northeastern foot-hills of the South mountains into the Brushy, across the county, is a valuable and large vein of limonite. The Burke belt of the gravel area, a mile and a half wide, commencing six miles southwest of Morganton and running twelve miles vnirallel to the main chain of the South mountains, is rich in gold. The Brindletown (J. C. Mills), Han cock, Glen Alpine, and Carolina Queen are the best known mines. Cornndum, Asbestos, Kaolin, Talc and;, other useful minerals are fyund in considerable? and worka ble deposits.- . . ? Massive Garnet is found in high schools; no honorable man will question this right; after the whites have contributed their money to keep up the schools, tney can patronize then or go to the d 1. The negro is a citizen. Well that is all right, at least I never "kick" about a thing that can't be remedied. In the fierce democracy of the French ltevolu- lion, i ne wori "citizen" oecame a social passport. .1 ust how far civil rights will affect social in the fu ture of our Democratic Union, wiser men than mv friend or I have been unable to conjecture.

I am not afraid the North ern Republican Party will force this thing on ns. I know the tem per of our people too well for that. But the present Radical party had its birth in the love of the negro. Ill other and subsequent issues are incidental. And in North Car olma where tne party is 'JO per cent, black, no -sane man could blame them for aiming at social equality. No. my lnend, tuis is not our onlu argument, but it should render all others unneces sary to a Southern man.

There is al most a complete immuuitv from this class of diseases. It is claim ed that.theie has never been known a case of consumptiou contra ted in this salubrious ana vivuyiug air. In summer the heats are temper ed by the mountain breezes, and the nights are always delightful and induce sleep and rest. In winter, owing to the protection of tlie mountains, there is .exemption from the continuous colds of the Korth and West. Of course there are cold days, when the wind blows and tne snow mis the air, and the streams are locked up, but they do not hold sway long, and the earth is only mellowed by the change. There is a great .variety of fruits, and they come as regu larly as the seasons. In the Frost less Belt the fruit crops never fail, aud through the country it is a very rare occurrence to have an insufficient fruit crop. What a bountiful laud it is, then ! All the staple crops, vegetables, fruits, berries, and nuts; and all these things with the health that good air and pure water gives to enjoy them. The town is rapidly improving. Property is advancing steadily. The Land and Improvement Com pany for developing its material advantages is working with intel ligence and persistence to advance it.

Certain it is that the variety, exteut and value of these resources are great er than elsewhere, while the short er distance to tidewater and its central position for distribution of marketable products, give this section material advantage over others that now are imicrous. Experience teaches that railroads arc the greatest agents of devel opment and the prosperity of a district depends greatly upon the nature of facilities it possesses fur teaching the best markets. Xew lines of railway through this sec tion, having direct connection to available markets, will present in comparable opportunities for profitable investment of crystal.

On a direct line between Washington aud Atlan- aud Charleston aud Norfolk and Chattanooga, new lines of railway from Koanoke. Lynchburg or Danville seeking au outlet at Chattatiooga, Iioau, At- lautu, Macon or Augusta will find the -liues of "least resistance" through .Morgantou. A southern extension of the Cripple Creek Division of the Norfolk and West ern,, or the new line from Cincin nati, Columbus and Pittsburg, via Ashelatul and Bristol, will con verge at Morgantou in seeking their outlet at Wilmington, Colum bus, Augusta, Charleston, Sa vannah and Jacksonville. The Southern & Western Air Lino will bo an important element in the future prosierit.y of Morgan ton. With an extension to Aiken, it will eventually form part of a direct line between Bristol and Savannah, having material iuthA euces on rates bctweeu .important markets aud the section tributary to the line.
