IRON IN NORTH CAROLINA. The
rich and extensive deposits of magnetic
iron ores in Stokes County, n. c., will
be rendered accessible by railroads now
building in that section, and an impor.
tant development is promised. These
ores are said to be exceptionally free
from phosphorus, and are found in close
proximity to the Piedmont coal meas
ure and excellent lime aud building
stones, timber and water power. Some
years age a few capitalists became inter
ested In some of these iron lands, but,
Notwithstanding the possibilities for
making high grade of iron in that re-
gion, attempts at development have
been delayed for want Transportation,
the nearest railroad communication
being twenty miles distant. 1t is pro-
posed, is view ofthe transportation ia
~cilities that will soon be afforded by one
or more of these railroads, to organize a
company that may obtain control of all
the iron lands in that county, which
extend on Dan River for six miles in a
northwesterly direction from Danbury,
when this isolated mountainous region
would likely become a thriving seat
of the iron industry. Much attention
now being drawn to iron lands of North
Carolina. Springfield Ohio, Mechan1
cal NeUs.
Why, my dear sir, he have excellent
iron mines in forty different counties.
This reminds us to remark that while
have little time for such work, yet
if parties wish to buy or sell any kind
mineral lands we could doubtless give
much assistance therein for a small com
.pensation.

Cotton Picked by Machinery.

The "Dsmocrit'' has printed sewers
very interesting communications from
Mr.. Ccckrill. Vice President of tn.
Mississippi Valley Cotton Planters
Association, on the subject OF picking
and cleaning cotton by machinery, and
the subject will doubtless engage tt.
serious attention of the convention Of
the association to be held at Memphis
on the 18th of May.
The machines to which Mr. Cuckriil
alluded, however, have not. We believe.

already been practically demonstrated
to be an entire success he idea II

- old, but every effort heretofore to
that end has proved a failure and there
are not many planters now who eau be
induced to believe that IRON fingers can
ever be made to take the place Of hu-
man fingers IN the matter of picking
cotton.
A machine therefore, that will accom-
pllsh what is claimed for the one inven
ted by Mr. GoOdwin-which will both
pick and clean cotton-would he hail
Ell with delight by planters through
out the South and will work a r~evolu-
II , IN the cultivation of cotton. The
following letter We clip from the Mem
phis appeal"
In reply TO your editorial of u few
days since, the Helena Yerman bet
does justice to Mr.. Goodwin. of Lee
county, who has really invented and
perfected q cotton gatherer and clean
er comb:Eed. Tie writer OF this has
seen the machine work, which in his
opinion is destined to revolutiouiZ-
the cotton industry Of the country by
lesseDlng about one half the expense
of producing or preparing the staple
for market. Mr.. Goodwin gathered
his own crop produced last year, with
this machine, and sold it for \ good
price at Mariana. This is at least an
evidence Of its success. Corr spon
dsnce is now being carried OF with
parties looking 10 the manufacture OF
the machine IN quantities equal to tie
demand. Doubtless a model or Il ma
chine will be on exhibition in Mem
phis during he meeting of the Miss

ton. the 25th of May next.

Santa Fe says: Billy the Kid has ad-
ded two victims to his already long list,
making a total Of nine. After escap-
ing from the Lincoln Jail he met Viii
liam Matthews and another man on the
road from Lincoln, and ambushing
them, killed both. Matthews had evi
evidently not heard of the Kids escape,
or he would have been on his guard. as
the Kid and he we're enemies. Matthews
three years ago was deputy sheriff, and
shot the Kid in the leg in the Lincoln
county war, and was also one of the
parry which took the Kid and four
other desperadoes captive six months
ago at Springs, in which two compan-
ions of the Kid were killed. For this
the KID ~hadpromised to kill him should
he live long enough. The Kid, it is
understood, is making his way toward
chihuahua, Mexico, and is being fol-
by Sheriff Garrett. Should he
be o~vertaken, either the Sheriff or the
Kid will be killed. Gov. Wallace
has offered a reward Of $500 for the
Kid dead or alive. and will also re-
quest Gov. Terrasas of chihuahua to
keep a lookout for him.
