COTToN CROP IN PITT COUNTY, NORTH
CARo11NA.-A letter from Pitt county,
North Carolina, states that the cotton
growers in North Carolina have had a hard
time of it. This accords with the informa-
ton we have already published contained
in the letters of our special North Carolina
correspondent.
It is stated that many who have replant-
ed are ploughing up that ground and plant
ing corn. The writer, who is said to be
largely engaged in the cotton crop in Pitt
county, ventures to say that there is on an
average, not over half a crop in North Car

THE CRoPs.-The heavy rains for the

to allow our farmers to give proner atten-
ton to the young corn, but the prospect IS
quite good. The weather that has been SO
unfavorable for the corn has been very IA

ed in our county this year than ever before.
The wheat has been threatened with
rust, but so far it is not injured materially.

Mill DESTROYED. new mill located
on Joness creek, below Little's mill, just
completed, and belonging to Alfred Bau-
cum and Neill McCormac, was almost en-
tirely destroyed on Sunday forenoon by the
dam giving way and washing out the
ground on which the mill was located. The
ground, to those who knew it well, was al
ways considered unsafe for mill site. The
mill was q very complete affair, running
three pairs of burrs-two grist and one
-four, and was valued at between 81 600

CRoPs.-We are informed late last week
that owing to the very cool weather of two

the plantations between this and Charlotte,
was so badly injured that the farmers had
it plowed up and planted corn instead.

THE EFFECT OF ORDER No. 30 IN THIS
CITY.-The general closing up of the liquor
saloons, in compliance with the require
ments of the above order, has exhibited
marked change in the business aspects of
the City. The Hotels, the only privileged
places for the retailing of liquors by the
drink, are reaping rich harvest, and are
crowded the most of the time In our pc
regulations, we have passed squads Of Ia
boring men on the streets who threaten to
form themselves into clubs and buy gal
Ion of liquor, or more, on Saturday even
ing, and then imbibe it on retirement
The order may possibly. defeat the very
object it is intended to accomplish. There
were more drunken men seen on our streets
on Thursday, than at any time for three
months previous.-Newbern Republican.

spectacle than was presented yesterday af-
ternoon, on the occasion of the interment,
IN the Memorial Cemetery, of the remains
of the gallant and gifted Henry K. Bur
gwyn, Jr., Colonel of the Goth North Car
DINA Troops, who fell on the bloody field
of Gettysburg. Christ Church was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. The catafalque,
in front of the chancel, on which rested
the coffin, was most exquisitely ornamented
with the choicest flowers of the season.
