THE ACID PHOSPHATES.
The northwestern part of North
Carolina is probably as rich in minerals
as any region of the world. AmoDg
Its treasurers are rich lodes of sulphurretted
copper ore. At Ore Ivnob, in
Asbe county the deposit ot copper is
almost unprecedented. From a recent
letter in the New York Tribune we
learn that in the first ten weeks of its
opening over 1,500 tons of ore of 25
per cent were extracted by 14 men ; in
other words, the labor of these men
produced daily during that time over
10 U00 pounds of copper in the shape
of a 25 per cent ore. This, at the present
price of 27 cents, is worth $2,700,
pnd its conversion into ingot copper
and shipment to market would still
)?ave a net profit of over $2,000 a day.
This remarkable deposit of over a mile
with a breadth of from 12 to 15 feet,
and it is not too much to say that, if
the future developments of the mine,
when shafts and galleries shall permit
an adequate number of miners, are at
all commensurate with the present
working results, it will be uurivaled
in the history of American copper
mining. A company has lately been
organized in Baltimore for the working
of this great miae, and preparations
n*e being made for the reduction of the
ores on the spot and also for the construction
ot a railway about 40 miles
in loncrtH tn meet the Virginia and
4U 4VM5?j ? w
Tennessee Railroad near Marion.
The advantages offered by a great
deposit of very rich ores, like those of
Ore Knob, are enormous, but it must
not, however, be supposed that the
raining of low-gra le ores is unprofitable.
Many of the low-grade copper ores
are like those of JDucktown, rich in
sulpKhr, and this, though there allowed
to pass off into the air, is in other
regions a substance of great value. In
the shape of sulphuric acid it forms
the starting-poiut of the great industries
of tin soda-manufacture and of
mineral feitilizers. The native sulphur
beds of Sicily formerly supplied
the wovld, but the chemical maoufac.
tares of Great Britian are now inde.
pendent of this source, since they find
a more advantageous supply iu the
l<eds of su[phuret of iron and copper of
Spaia, from which more tbao a half a
million tons are annually shipped 10
England. These ores when burned in
proper kilns yield from 33 to 40 per
cent or more of sulphur in a form fitted
for the making of sulphuric acid ; while
from the residues a portion of copper
amounting to two or three percent is
extracted with profit, leaving behind
a valuable ore of iron. The profits of
this industry are enormous, and the
demand for sulphur ores in Great Britian
is daily increasing. The great
success of the Tharsis Company, which
has1 hitheito controlled the trade in
Spanish sulphur and copper ores, has
led to the organization in London of a
new company, the Itio Tinto, with a
capital of ?'2,250.0 0 sterling. It proposes
to construct a railway of fifty
miles, to the sea coast in Spain, and to
ship yearly 500,000 tons of sulphur ore
upon which the profit is estimated at
?775.000. Large quantities o" the
sulphur thus brought from Spain into
England are used for the treatment of
the phosphates of South Carolina
which .are shipped to England for the
manufacture of fertilizers.
The value of these mineral manures
for our soils isbecomiug more aud more
understood, especially for the cotton
and tobacco crops. The production of
superphosphates iu the works of Charleston,
this year is about oO.OOO tons,
for the manufacture of which 5,0UU or
11,000 tons of uative sulphur are imported
from Sicily. Large quantities of
the crude phosphates are from Suu:li
Carolina to the coast of A'ew-England,
where they are treated, as at Charleston,
with the acid made from Sicilian
bulphur, and the product is sent back
to the cotton lands of the South. It
mav well he asked, why do not our
manufacturers imitate the example of
the English and substitute the sulphur
ore or pyrites for the native sulphur of
.'.icily Y The answer is easy. Available
deposit; of pyrites suited for the
purpose ait: not accessible. For many
} ears manufacturers of acid iu the
^ icinity of .Now-York have drawn limbed
supplies of sulphur over from the
provinces of Ontario and Quebec, aud
from Vermont, and to-day a similar
ore is brought from near Itichmoud,
Ya , to lTrilaielphia, there to treat
? the South Carolina phosphates and I
convert Uiem into fertilizers, which
are dea'iocd for the Georgia market.
The Vivians, great copper smelters of
Swansea, ia Walea, manufacture yearly
some G;>,U00 tons of fertilizers, or
more than the entire manufacture of
Chnrl.-ston, from the waste sulphur
from their copper ores, and the sulphur
which goes to waste this year in
]) ick'.own would, if converted into
sulphuric acid produce as large a
quantity. Why then, it may be asked
18 not this valuable product utilized ?
pimply for the want of communications.
A mountain barrier, traversed
by no railroads, stands between this
precious deposit* of sulphur ore and
the mineral phosphates of the coaet of
South Carolina. Were these two more
accessible, the one to the other, the
value of both would be greatly enhanced,
and the benefit to Southern
agriculture would be immense.
That this desirable conjunction will
be one day realized there is little
doubt, the more so as recent investigations
indicate that the deposits of natural
phosphates in South Caroliaa are
practically inexhaustible.
DIRECT TRADE.
Nelson Tiff, of Savannah, has been
speaking in the principal cities of the
south-west in favor of direct trade between
Europe and the south Atlantic
ports. He has asked the merchants to
pledge themselves to import and export
through a steam line which he
says will be established from Liverpool
to Savannah.
Of course we endorse all he says
about the benefits arising from a direct
communication between our section,
and European markets. But he has
taken advantage of of our friends ot
the interior in asking them to pledge
themselves to import only through the
line of steamers which he hopes wili
be established with the port of Savannah.
That no line of European steamers
can be profitably run to either I
Savannah or Charleston is a self evident
fact. It is not from any lack of
energy or enterprise on their part. It
is simply a physical impossibility. No
steamer of sufficient size to pay can go
to the docks of either port.
Ocean stuimers of small size cannot
be profitably run and those are the
only kiuds possible for a trade with
Savannah.
The only harbor on the south Atlantic
capable of competing with northern
ports is Port Royal. While Savan
, nah and Charleston are talking about
the depth of water on their bars at
hujh tide, we can offer a port where
there is a greater depth of water than
either at low tide. The
shipmasters and owners of the
world are better informed than the
audiences which Mr. Tiff lias been
addressing in the interior. They know
that a steamer large enough to pay
cannot come within ten miles of the
docks of Savannah and cannot cross
the bar of Charleston at all.
If there is a necessity to develop direct
trade between Europe and the
South-west, there is but one point to
J which it can como. Nature has decided
that Port Royal harbor will be that
poiDt because there is no other.
The Delinquent Land Sales,
Newspapers and lawyers in several
counties of the state are discussing the
question as to the right of the owner to
redeem land sold by the auditor for del1
inquent taxes. The comptroller lias dcI
eided that suoh lands cannot he redeemed,
but we think he is decided y wrong.
A writer iu the E Igcfielcl Advertiser
very thoroughly examines the whole
qusstiou and comes to the fbllowiug conclusion
:
The only law in force, in regard to
the assessment and collection of taxes,
aud the redemption of lands, sold by the
County Treasurer as delinquent is contained
in the Revised Stitutes made
the Statute law of the State by Act of
Feb. 10, 1872. Wc use this date as that
by which the Secretary of state declares
that this Act became law by virtue of
the Constitution of the State, without
the approval c? the Governor, Pamphlet
Act, 1872, p. 37.
The conclusion irresistibility follows
that no sales of alleged delinquent lands
by the county treasurer, are valid, and
no deeds conveying them carry any title,
unless both transactions are in in strict
accordance icith laic as above contained
Chief Justice Marshal has said ''That no
individual or public officer can sell and
convey a good title to the land of aroth
er, unless auth"r:zcd to do so, bv express
law, is one of thoso self-evident pronosiM-liif.li
f)ir> mini! nsscnfs without
hesitation; and that the person invested
with such a power, must pursue with
precision, the course prescribed hy law,
or his (let is invalid, is a principle which
has been repeatedly recognized in this
court." Thatehher vs Powell, 6 Wliea,
71 y.
Another authority decides that "so
strict indeed are the decisions in reference
to this class of sales (tax sales) that it
has been said that a tax deed is prima
facie void. ' 4 Swedes A 31., f>2S; cited
in iliackvillc on Tax Titles, p. 35.
Another authority decides " that the
officer authorized to sell, must act in conform
ifg with the law, from whence his
power is derived, and the purchaser is
hound to inquire, whether he has so acted.
It is therefore held to be a condition precedent
to the passing of the title at such
sales, that ull of the proceedings ?>f the
officers who have anything to do with the
listing and valuation of the land, the
levy and colection of the tax, the advertisement
and sale of property, Ac., must
he in -trict compliance with the Statute
authorizing the sde." lllackville, 34
and t he numerous authorities there collected.
"The validity of a tax sale depends
upon the authority of the officer
to sell, uL, 33-4. "The power to impose
a tax, on real estate ami sell it, where
there is failure to pay the tax, is a high
prerogative, and should never he exercised
iu doubtful cases,*' id 33. "As a
matter of public policy tax sales should
not he sustained unless the laws are
| shown to be have been complied with. V
I id.. 47.
f Tlieso tuthorities are sufficient to show
1 the disposition of the courts in regard to
I tax saliv. and will satisfy any rational
man tbat s^ oil sales are nullities, unless
| every requisition of the law is observed.
[ Mow for the tax sales of the county
treasurer lor the year iS73 for the taxes
! of 1872. Supposviy that ibe assessment
of real estate has been made according to
the provisions of the constitution, and
laws iiv pursuance thereof, has the county
treasurer sold delinquent lands duriDg J
the year 1873 in accordance with law, for
if he has not, then all such sales arc null
and void?
The onty intthorify under which flic
oonoty treasurer could make such sutcs
i* that eonktuietl in the HtCscJ Statutes.
Tit. 3, chap. 13. 11 is sales were made
under Sec. 4. of the A. A., Feb. 12,
1872, which in this re-nect is a special
lot. and relates to, and only authorizes
ale-, of lands for taxes due for the years
l86.8-'9'7(t-'7J, and which were required
lo be sold the first Monday in June, 1872
After such sales, this act in respect tQ
sales of delinquent laud by the county
treasurer was m authority exhausted, and
from thenceforth inoperative.
The sales of delinquent lands in 1873
having been made under the void Act of
March 12, 1872, are consequently null
and void, and even "bonajule ' puichasers
canno take any title under them.
It is only necessary to examine the lievised
Statutes, Tit. 3, chap. 13, in regard
to the collection of taxes, with the A.
A., 12 March, 1872, to reooguized the
correctness of this position.
From the above remarks, and citations
the followiug conclusions of law are
established
1. That the only law re/rulating the
assessment and collection of taxes is to
be found in the Revised Stats., Tit. 3,
chap's. 12 and 13.
That the A. A., March 12, 1872, is
not in force iti regard to sales of land for
taxes dive tor the year 1N72.
3. Th^t no certificate of purchase
Sv'ing under this act i* legal a"d no
eed executed by the County Auditor
conveys any title to purchasers at such
sales.
A careful reading of the arguments in
the case has convinced us that the owner
has two years to redeem lands sold as delinquent.
We go further. We believe
I that the whole business of these land
sales in this county have been so badly
botched by careless and incompetent
officers that not a single tax
title acquired from the state will
stand as sufficient in case of a contest
before a court and jury. There are
many white people and many more colored
people being daily fooled into bujing
such worthless titles. We have
warned them repeatedly, and we warn
them again, that they are throwing away
money for the benefit of speculators.
Don't buy any land without a careful
scrutiny of the title.
Better Times Coming for the South.
The cotton statistics of the crop year
just closed have been compiled with unusual
care and completeness by The
Commercial and Financial Chronicle of
this city. The crop of 1872 foots up 3,930,500
bales of the average weight of
404 pounds each. This crop has been
surpassed only three times, viz: in 1870,
in 1859. and in 1850, leaving out the
year 1801, of which we have no statistics.
It thus appears that of the four crops
known to have exceeded 3,900,000 bales,
two have been made since the war.
Again, we find that the average crop of
the six years 1855 to 1860, inc'usive,
was 3,800,000 bales, while the average of
the three years 1870 to 1872, inclusive,
is 3,750,000 bales. The crops of 1853 and
1854 were each less than three million
bales. These figures, we submit, amply
demonstrate that free labor is quite as
effective as slave labor in the production
of cotton. As the capital of the south
iucreascs?and it certainly is increasing

a .?erics of cotton crops far surpassing in
bulk those of the ante-war period.
The cry of Mr. Wells and the Free-traders,
that the cation's povoity appeared
from the fact t lid * the people were con
suiuing lower yards of cotton clotli per
head than in tiic years Wore the war,
has hardly died away, and already the
statement has ceased to be true. It never
was an argument; for wi;v should
men be called poorer because tficy have
restricted their consumption of an artiu'e
which has doubled in price ? The statistics
now show that in the three years
ending Sk'pt. 1. 1X73, 3,500,001) bales of
cotton were taken from the crops for
manufacture in the United States, while
in tho three years ending Sept. 1, 1X61,
the corresponding quantity was 2,743,000
bales. The increase is 703,000 bales, or
twenty-eight per cent, but the increase
in consumption is considerably larger
than this, owing to tho loss of the greater
part of the export trade which we had
succeeded in building up before the war.
A very gratifying feature in this increaseis
the progress which the manufacture is
making in the southern states. The editors
of The Chronicle obtained from Mr.
Walker, the supcrintcndant of the census.
a list of all the cotton manufacturers
in tue south, as collected by the census
marshals in 1X70, and sent inquiries to
each of theui in order to obtain their consumption
iu 1X73. The result is that it
was found that these southern manufacturers,
who were reported by the census
to have used 83,056 bales, 36,500.000
pounds of cotton in 1870. required, in
1X73,137,662 bales or 60,500,000 pounds,
beicg an increase in three years of sixtysix
per cent.
The information obtained by The
Chronicle is confirmed h.V the accounts of
the progress of tins manufacture contained
in our southern exchanges. Frotn
them we learn that fne mills at Columbus.
Gn., took 7,4:JS bales in ]872-3,
against 5,1127 in 1870-1. Three more
lactones will be nuilt there next year.
?ud the number of spindles and looms?
at present 32,000 spindles and 000 looms
?will be more than doubled. The mills
at Augusta, (ia., for the last fix years
have paid quarterly dividends, at the
rate of 20 per cent per annum, on their
capital, and have carried each year large
sums to the reserved fund. The Augusta
company is now building a new mill,
which will add 7,000 spindles and 204
looms to the 16,000 spindles and 522
looms already in operation. Its consumption
of cotton in the year ending .June 7,
1873, was 2,901,100 pounds, and the product
was 9,082,717 yard* of cloth, weighing
2,525,094 pounds. The number of
hands employed was 503, and the aggregate
of wages paid during the year,
$164,720. The dividend was $120,tHH),
being 20 per cent on $600,090, and $19,314
07 were carried to the reserved fund,
which now amounts to $307,704 06. It
will he seen that the financial condition
of this mill is a strong one. Outside of

Tiio foregoing statistics show that the
influence of had government in the
southern states has been overstated. In
this country bad government manifests
itself, sooner or later, in the shape of oppressive
taxes, and the only southern
states which arc oppressively taxed are
South Carolina and Louisiana. A state
debt ou which no interest is paid can have
no material effect on production, and of
this kind are the debts of North Carolina,
Arkansas, Mississippi, South Carolina,
and, in great part, of Alabama, Florida
i and Louisiana. What disposition the
southern states make of their debts is ho
concern of ours, so long as they do not
attempt to saddle them on the general
government. For a generation at least,
we of the state of New York have maintained
numerous bands of thieves at Albany,
along the canals and railroads, and
in all our chief cities, yet still we have
prospered. We should put a stop to the
stealing, noverthe'ess, and so should the
people of the south, for whom we wish as.
I urge a shure of the blessings of prosperity
and honest government as we do for
ourselves. i' Tribune^

Running Machine, using the Rotary
Hook, making a Lock Mlteh, alike on both

waste power in drawing the shuttle bae'e after the
stitch is formed, bringing double wear and strata
upon both machine and operator, hence while other
machines rapidly wear out, tho Wheeler & WII on
lasts a lifetime, and pro res an economical
Investment. Do not believe all that Li 'promised by
