DEATH OF Mr.. W. G. HARRIS.
death of this gentleman-Mayor of
Uninn-has been announced. The
Unionville Times gives the following
particulars of tho sad affair:
Our community was shocked on Sa-
turday morning last, at receiving the
news by the down train, that W. c.
Harris, one of our largest and best mer-
chants, and the esteemed Intendant Of
our town, had been killed the morning
before, about seventeen miles from
Charlotte, on the Airline Railroad.
We have never seen q community so
deeply affected, as was ours on receipt of
the sad Intelligence. Mr. Harris was
one Of our most respected citizens. He
had been to New York and purchased n
very extensive stock of goods, and was
on his way home when the sad accident
occurred. Itappears that the train had
stalled on very steep grade, and the
engineer was making efforts by bucking
and starting again, to overcome it,
when MIR. Harris rose from his seat and
attempted to CROSS the platform into the
back Car. Just as he opened the door
the bumpers of the cars were close to-
gether and he made stop, at the same
time reached out his hands to catch the
railing of the other car, when the engine
suddenly started and separated the plat
forms so far that he missed his step aud
grasp and fell through. The train, it il
supposed, backed and went forward
once or twice after he fell. and as often
passed over him. 4 brakeman disco
vered him at last, jumped from tho car
and pulled him out from between tho
front and back wheels. but life was ex.
tinct, and he lay the most horribly
mangled corpse ever seen. From his
waist to his toes every bone was broken
and large pieces Of flesh were picked up
on the track.
The accident occurred near Wright's
station. aud, strange to tell. the con-
ductor OF the train. Mr.. Long, loft the
body just where the brakeman had
pulled it to, on the side of tue truck,
with the head down the embaukmcnt
and the feet up towards the track No
further notice was taken Of tho body,
and it remained there for hours At
Gastonia, six miles beyond, the con-
ductor instructed the section master to
Ego and see about it"

CONDITION OF THE ORoP.-The report
OF the Bureau OF Agriculture at Wash.
ington, as to the present condition of
the cotton crop, is uniav0rable. The
average condition Of the crop OF '78 iB
as much below that OF fTG as the iAttoF
year was in excess OF I'll. The area In
'72 was ore-eighth greater than in I'll.
The autumn was more favorable for de-
velopmont and picking, which resulted
in an increase OF about 1000, 900 bales
last year. The area of the present year
was increased about ten per cent, but q
large portion of it had to be abandoned.
The planting was lato nnd the seasons
most unfavorable. The caterpillar and
the boil worm have not been idle. The
prospect, therefore, is most unfavorable
for large yield. In many portions of
the South; there will not be half crop
made. Hundreds of acres had to be
abandoned on account of lete and unfa-
vorable seasons. The severe and pro-
tracted cold weather delayed planting
for three or four weeks at the com
mencement. As soon az the plant be-
gaa to show itaeif, the rain set in and
the grass made such hesdwsy that q
large part of the crop had to be aban-
doned in order to secure half stand
fer !hnt portion of tho acreage which
tue producer resolved upon cultiyating.
TLis is a gloomy picture, but III result
of the present years planting operations
will show that it is net overdruwn. In
order to secure anything like yield, at
all commensurate with the vast acreage
in cotton, the autumn must continue
favorable for development aud picking.
The Washington Bureau gives it as it's
opinion. based upon the reports OF it's
correspondents from nll sections of the
cotton-growing States, that the fall sea-
son must be of average length aud com
parativtly favorable for picking to iu-
snre crop equal to that of last yeur.
Persons who have travelled extensively
through the South know, from actusl
observation, that the yiold this year will
be fur less than that Of last year. In
mnny plantations in Georgia, the last
stalk has already been picked, aud the
favorable season for further develop
ment will DO of no avail. II the crop
has turned out in other States as it has
in Georgia and South Carolinn. and we
believe that it has. the yield will be as
much below that Of last year ns the lat
ter was III excess of the preceding year

From gentleman, who has recently

we learn that he saw in the Young
Mems Library. of that city. the dsg OF
tho First South Carolina Regiment OF
Colonel Gregg, and also the flag OF
Musgrove's Company, supposed. also.
to have belonged to the First Regiment.
These South Carolina flags were picked
up in Richmond by some one unknown.
and in due time presented to the library
Of the young men of Atlanta. Our in
formant says that they look battle-worn,
and show the hard service through
which they were borne. They are
piously preserved, are gracefully fes-
tooned over an arclled doorway, aud
form one of the most. conspicuous
objects and most striking ornaments in
the building.
