Death OF w. H. p,coav, ESQ.


The hand of the writer whose duty i!
is to occupy these columns, is to-day
paralyzed by grief Mt the afilioting dis
pensation which has bsfullen him and
his househould in the sad event which
occurred yesterday. 1t il unable to
perform it's Office. The kindly notice
below is furnished by one of the most
attached friends of the deoeascd:
It becomes our painful duty to an
nounce the death, yesterday. of Mr..
William a. McCaw, under peculiarly
sad circumstances. It appears that Mr..
MoCaw, on Wednesday night. was alone
in his Office in Law Range. engaged in
writing his accustomed latter to the
Charleston Neps and Courier, when in
some manner his clothing caught fire.
Unable to extinguish the flames. he
rushed down stairs and into the second
story of the adjoining tenement, calling
for aid. Meesrs. L. T.. LeConte aud J..
Quitmsn Marshall, heaiing his cries,
came to his assistance, aud succeeded
in extinguishing tie flames, but not
until he had rooei7ed fatal injuries.
Drs. Dnrby, Gibbes and Howe rendered
all assistance possible, but to no pur-
pose. The unfortunate gentleman lin-
gered until $50 P. NJ, yesterday, when
he breathed his last.
Mr.. MoOaw WIS q native Of Abbcyilic
County. and had just pa ssed the twenty
eighth year Of his age. In bis oonaec-
tion with the Guardian. the PHOENIX,
the South Cuolinidn and tho Meas and
Courier, he eviuced brilliancy Of
talent and o fearlessness and honesty of
purpose that won the admiration and
respect Of all classes. Mr.. McCaw leaves
a wife and three children and host of
friends, His untimely death has spread
gloom over the entire community.

now nothing remains to be doue but
organize and go to work. Now, we say
to our South Carolina friends. at both
Grcenville and Spartanburg, to prepare
at once to meet US. We state frankly
what our people can and will 90, and al;
they can do; and that il, to grade the
road from Asheville to Butt Mountain.
If our South Carolina friends will come
mp to the mark as their interests would
suggest them to do and meet US at Butt
Mountain, we will guarantee That the
cars from Ashcgille to Charleston will
soon comparatively be running"

Now THAT the grasshospers have
left and The first feeling of despond-
eDcy has hal time to cool down. it IL
we'll to look the field sver and ccnsider
what is best to be done. That the
destruction Of the corn crop Is general
and almost absolnte, is fact eyond
contradiction. VIVA: to do, or What
is best to do under these circum
stances. 10 o the general topic of
Discussion among individuals and
the various newspapers throughout
the State. Our view Of the case i.
that matters are not as bad as they
might be. Last spring an unusual
large breadth Of grou1d vas put in
with small grain. probably double that
Of any preceding yesr. Wheat, oats.
barley ard rye, have all turned out
well, end though the average yield may
not be up to the usual standard. the
greater amount ofacrc. grown will give
4 large increase ocer the total profu;-
ton Of any previous year. The prices
which are offered for these grains are
fair as comparei with previous years.
and will probably be increased some
what. A. Ear a. we can Judge from
orr own ohse, vstion and the accounts
Of the newspapers throughout the
State. there will be about as much
produce IN money value as the State
had last year. THIS, however. is not
as evenly distributed AS heretofore
among the farmers. for all were accu.-
toned to plant more or less corn. a,d
a portion only put in wheat or other
grains.
Taking the State at large We see m
reason for any great amount Of dis
tress. As regards certain individuals
or localities, however, there is a great
cause of complaint. Those who de-
pended entirely on the corn crop have
lost everything. This il particularly
the case with the frontier counties Of
the State. A great proportion Of the
settlers went in last year and the past
spring, and depended on sod corn.
which usually gives about half a crop.
This has been swept away, leaving
nothing: AMI as a consequence the
SETTLERS will be obliged 10 leave he
country if they DO not receive public or
private assistance from more favored
or weairhier parts Of the country.
Some will be able to help themselves
on their own credit. but Others have
n q credit. or prospective mode Of re-
lief. These will have to receive pub
lie aid or suffer. Several modes of re-
lief have been suggested, but none
tina, are feasible, 50 FAR as we know.
II is proposed by some 10 vote bonds
for public enterprises AMI let the pao-
pie have an opportunity to labor in
order to secure the means Of snstc- !
nance. Some think that public loans
he effected. etc, etc. There are
70 all these, though in case
Of any great emergency anv of them
n. better than nothing. Oar
Is that the people wait Till the
real exten, of damage is known and
then take some concert Of action that
viii hiring the relief NJ the least poss'.
bic expense. or outlay. and what plan
viii be the best can be determined bet
ter hereafter than NJ present.
