(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Ili.ACKsnrRf;, March 1*>.—I prom
ised to try to give you some informa
tion with regard to the discovery of
this magnetic iron ore in the South
ern States. I told in my other arti
cle that there hail been a funmee on
Allison's creek in York county before
the Revolutionary war. The ore bank
that supplies that furnace was near
Allison’s creek, and was brown hame-
t ilo, and was known as the Hill ore,
band and made castings of a superior
quality in that day. Even In my
time, I have known ore hauled from
the Hill Rank to Long Creek furnace
to mix with the grey magnetic ore to
make rollers lor rolling mills and
stumps for gold mills,
mixed made-casting of a
harder texture than the
netic alone.
The grey ore was not
until after the Revolutionary war. It
was lir-t discovered near the foot of
a hitl<! inojintain in Lincoln county.
N. C., about ten miles from Lincoin-
ton. It was discovered by General
Joseph Graham, who was a land sur-
and when surveying at that
place. ■ Mis compas became agitated,
and on nis examining the location,
that the magnetic iron ore was the
cause of the agitation of his compas.
General Grahupi was an officer in the
American at my and was in Charlotte
with Colonel Davie mid Davison when
they had the skirmish with Cornwal
lis. Graham's horse failing with him,
was taken overtaken by a dragoon
and received three sabre wounds on
his head, and was left for dead in the
mad, hut he got well and carried
tin* three large scars of the wounds
o his grave. He would laugh and
[tell how he outwitted the Rriton by
playing 'possum, and pretended to
be dead. He lived to a very old age,
and was a descendant of John Gra
ham’s of Claverhouse, afterward
Yjiscount Dunde and Duke of Mon-
tros. The bloodhound and tiger
mixed of Charles II, and his brother
James in their persecution of the
Scotch covenanter.
We will now take up the iron busi
ness again. When General Graham
discovered the ore. he secured a site
on Leper’s Creek, built a forge and
sent for a bloomer, and getting a
grant for a large tract of the vacant
land belonging to the State, went to
making iron. That started other en
terprising men to prospecting for
iron, among whom were Major
John Fulenwider, General i’eter For
ney, Captain Alex Brevard, and
Messrs. Ren Arnold. Graham, Forney
and Brevard as a company, got the
big ore bank near the little moun
tain between the south fork of the
main Catawba that supplied their
furnaces and forges for three fourths
a of century, and is still thought to
contain an almost inexbaustable
amount of the lincst ore in the world.
Fulcnwider and Arnold found ore
on the west of the south fork of the
Catawba in abundance, built a fur
nace near the Ormond Bank, on the
head waters of Long Creek, which
was run for several years by Fulen-
wider and a Mr. Sloan, who got Or
mond’s interest in the furnace, which
was the next to hills, built in tin*
south.
Mr. Fulen wider then discovered
the Kllison hank, near where the
young town of Besemer, is now build
ing, and the Costner bank was dis
covered by Mr. Adam Costner within a
half mile of Big Long Creek. Fulenwi-
der then built a larger furnace on that
creek, and worked those banks which
was, and is the in st I have ever seen,
being entirely clear of sulphur. The
Legislature of North Carolina made
him a grant of three thousand acres
of the State lands for the beneiit of
iron works. He then came in pos
session of the Furguson bank, and
the Yellow Ridge bank, the last with
in one mile of the far famed Kings
Mountain Gold Mine. The two last
have a groat deal of sulphur with the
ore, although very rich in iron. It
has not been a success in making
good iron. The Yellow Ridge is the
largest body of ore that has ever been
discovered on this bed, but one-half
the vein is good black magnetic ore.
The other half of the vein, fully one-
half sulphur. The next bank is on
Silver Mountain, about one mile
north of Besemer. It is a mixture
of black hametite. and grey magnetic
and makes the strongest blast fur
nace castings I have ever seen. The
Silver Mountain was worked for sil
ver by three Spaniards, yours before
the Iron was discovered. I have seen
their tunnels running into the hill
! nd the remains of their furnace they
ad for melting their ore, and was
■quainted in my youth with some
old people, both men and women
that had seen them at work, and
those people told that the miners had
pack horses, and that one of the men
would take two or three of these
horses laden with the proceeds of
their labor and be gone for one or
two months and return, the horses
laden with supplies for their camp,
,nd at the end of about two years
they all three packed up and left and
were never heard of, .but it was
thought they had been robbed and
murdered by the Indians. There is
no doubt but it is a continuation of
the lead and silver vein that has
been worked some two miles below
Gaffney. The magnetic iron crops
out from the Yellow Ridge at the
northeast end of Whitakers Moun
tain, and has been worked to advan
tage at several places to the Blocky
Rank, two miles west <»f Cherokee
Ford where it is lost.
The pioneers of the iron industry,
Fulenwider, Graham, Brevard and
Forney, all made fortunes at the iron
business, Fulenwider rather in the
lead, being a good mechanic and a
man of more energy than the others,
also more liberal, being willing to
risk some of his earnings. He built
a rolling mill and a nail factory and
had it in opera! ion at the time of
the war of 181^ and sold many hun
dreds of kegs of nails, at per
keg, band iron at .flo.OO per hundred
pounds. At that time nails were cut
on a machine and headed by hand,
and it was very slow to the present
cutting and heading at the same op
eration, I have cut many
kegs of nails, on the improved plan
that sold at #10 and #12. per keg.
Those old iron masters were aii men
who had well served their country
when struggling for independence.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
WRITTEN BY OUR SPECIAL
CORRESPONDENT.
President McKinley Promises Him-
sell More of a Diplomat Than
was Expected 10,000
Office Seekers.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Washington, March, 12.—The ex
citement which was prevalent among
Senators early this week over the
prospect of a tight between the re
publicans and silver men for the con
trol of the Senate committee died out
as suddenly a-; it began. The popu
lists and silver republicans were very
anxious that the democrats should
combine with them for the fight, and
fora time it looked as though that
they might do so but after the demo
cratic caucus t here was a change in
the situation. It has been asserted
that the change was brought about
by an agreement between the demo
crats and republicans to allow things
to remain just as they are in the
committees by iilling vacancies
caused by tin* retirement of silver
men with silver men and those made
by the retirement of gold men with
gold men, and to send the creden
tials of the Senators appointed by the
Governors of Ky., Fla., and Oregon to
the Elections committee and let them
stay there. This assertion lias been
vehemently denied, hut all the same
when the credentials of Mr. A T.
Wood, appointt-d to succeed Senator
Blackburn, of Ky.. were presented.
Senator Hoar withdrew bis motion
that he he sworn in, in favor of Sena
tor Gorman's motion to refer to the
Election commit tee, remarking that
‘‘under the circumstances” he would
not antagonize Mr. Gorman’s motion
Mr. Gorman is chairman of the demo
cratic caucus.
So assured is it that Mr. Reed is to
he re-elected Speaker of the House
that there is next to no interest ex
hibited by tlie republican members
who are already in Washington ?n
the caucus that is to be held Satur
day night to nominate oflieers. It is
also understood that all the other
officers are to Ik* nominated. The
democrats, who can elect nobody,
are having a red-hot fight over their
nomination for Speaker, which is to
be made Monday morning, because
the man who receives the nomination
will be regarded us the party leader
in the House. The populists will
also nominate a candidate for Speak
er.
President McKinley is proving him
self more of a diplomat than he bus
ever been credited with being. A
case in point is the manner in which
he handled the application of ex-
i^uecn Liliuokluni of Hawaii, whose
recent admission to the Diplomatic
gallery of the Senate upon the per
sonal request of Secretary Sherman
made quite a stir in diplomatic cir
cles, for a private interview. The
application was in writing, but the
answer was given verbally to the ex-
Queen’s secretary and was to the
effect that she could take her place
in the line which daily gathers in the
East Room and be certain of seeing
the President at almost any time,
but that no private interview would
be grunted her now.
Some 10,000 applications for office,
which were received at Cunton be
tween the election and the inaugura
tion, were this week sent to the sev
eral departments under which the
offices applied for are. It required a
big two-horse wagon to carry the
boxes in which these applications
were packed.
Senator Hhiiiiu’s private secretary.
Mr. 8. A. P.rkins, gets just #1.200
more salary than either a Senator or
Representative does, and is conse
quently envied by the secretaries of
all the other public men in Wash
ington. Mr. Perkins gets #1.200 on
the regular pay roll of the Senate,
and Senator Hanna gives him the
#5,0(X> a year he will get us Senator.
Secretary Wilson is running the
Department of Agriculture like he
had been there a year, instead of a
week. One of the things he has done
which seems to be excellent was to
contract for 0,000 tons of sugar beet
seed, which he intends to distribute
in fourteen States, which have suita
ble soil and climate to raise sugar
beets. Five fanners in every county
in those States will he asked to plant
these seeds and report results. Sec
retary Wilson sees no good reason for
our importing beet sugar from Ger
many, when we can just as well grow
the beets and make the sugar our
selves.
A score of almost Presidential
postmasters find themselves barred
out of office because no commissions
were issued to them by Mr. Cleveland.
President McKinley can sign these
commissions, but the pressure which
members of his own party will bring
to bear for these very places make
his doing so very doubtful. The
trouble with most of those gentleman
was their failure to get their bonds
prepared in time.
President McKinley has played it
smart on the* Senators and Represen
tatives on the office question, if
some of them have given it out
straight. He intends making the
Senators and representatives take
the responsibility of deciding upon
the men from their States who shall
receive whatever offices may be al
lotted to that State, and has said that
when he gets ready to consider gen
eral appointments, which will not he
for several months, he will appoint
nobody who does not secure the en
dorsement of all his party in the Con
gressional delegation from his State.
Maj. McKinley is reported to have
told a close personal friend who is an
applicant for a diplomatic position
that he would not consider his appli
cation unless he secured the endorse
ment of his Congressional delegation,
because of this rule, although he
knows the man much better than the
Senators and Representatives from
his State do.

He has built a fine barn, also stables

I think that a woman can brighten
some of the darkest scenes in man's
life. Even the pleasure of a hand,
will soften the hardest of hearts. I
think he will soon get in the notion
to have some calico to russle around
him.

Good Advice.
To the voters of the new county,
Cherokee,of which we all are proud:
Voting is in many ways unlike
marrying. In seeking a conjugal
partner the first of the many things
to be considered should be worthi
ness, the second, congenially and so
on.
In considering a multitude of can
didates, the prime thing to weigh
should be worthiness, second, ability
and all other commendable qualities.
But never drop a pennyweight of
congenuality, friendship, prejudice
or selfishness on the other side of the
balances. Were you to he absent
from your business, you would not
like to have incompetent and un
worthy men in charge. Cherokee
affairs are us much yours as any one
else and you cannot constantly su
perintend the various offices, there
fore vote for your very best men and
make ttie rest of the state hold you
in wisdom as they know you are in
Geography, uppermost. Though since
you have so much good timber in
the Held it will be quite difficult to |
reach a decision. In conclusion how
ever let me urge that you take no
risk.

THE MEETING AT MAUD.
A Good Attendance And Little Enthu
siasm.
The campaign meetings last week
at the various voting precincts were
well attended. The weather has
been too unfavorable for planters to
do much work on the farm so they
have attended the meetings pretty
regularly. A Ledger representative
attended the meeting at Maud last
Saturday. There were a good many
people present and all were in a good
humor, but there was practically no
enthusiasm manifested. ‘The citi
zens of Maud were patriotic and had
swung to the breeze a banner with
the following inscription on it:
“Maud Freeinct—tlie banner new
county box.”
Chairman S. Humphries presi
ded over the meeting in an accepta
ble manner. The tirst speakers
were the candidates for coroner,
then came the candidates for treas
urer, auditor, county supervisor,
sheriff, clerk of the court, superinten
dent of education and senator in the
order named. When the senatorial
candidates were reached Ed H.
DeCump, of Tin: Ledger, was reques
ted to introduce them. In his intro
duction he spoke as follows:
“Fellow citizens: I am no candi
date and it may be you are glad to
hear one man say something who is
not running for office. I must con
gratulate tin* people of Cherokee
county on the large number of good
men who have offered themselves for
office. They arc all good fellows and
it is really difficult to pick out a man
of your choice. However. I feel
sure that no matter* who is elected
Cherokee will start off with the tinest
set ot officers that any new county
ever started off with. I desire to
congratulate tlie candidate or. the
manner in which they are conduct
ing ibis campaign. It speaks well
fot all of them.

Nearly all have Spake and now we
will Jolly along with the Butler to

meet Harding and Douglas, after
which wo will all settle down and
Lips-coml) some sweet Sams.
I take great pleasure in introducing
to you Mr.T. B. Butler, a candidate
for the Senate.
Mr. T. B. Butler spoke for twenty
minutes at the conclusion of which
Mr. DeCamp introduced Mr. Jefferies
as follows:
“Mr. Butler iias given you a good
speech. However, some one has said:
“Valuable goods come in small pack
ages.” I take pleasure in introducoing
to you Mr. Wm. Jefferies, who, is also
a candidate for the senate, and who,
I am sure, will also give you a good
speech.
Mr. Jefferies spoke for about lifteen
minutes after which Dr. Duglus was ,
introduced. After Dr. Duglas had
spoken Mr. Butler again took the
stand and spoke for some few min
utes longer.
There was absolutely no enthusi
asm. All were in a good humor and
when the meeting broke up the peo
ple begun to depart for their respec
tive homes.
The introductory remarks used in
introducing Mr. Jefferies has caused
a Id tic comment but as no intention
to favor one or the other of the candi
dates was intended we fail too see
where the objection could come in.
However, everybody seem satisfied
now and we trust everything will be
settled to the satisfaction of all. /
