of Mr. Thos. C. Harris at Birmingham,
Alabama. Sunday morning a second
tlegram was received announcing his
death. Thre are few particulars relative
to the shooting whith caused tho young
man's death. The telegram simply an
nounced that he was aecidently shot and
that there were no .hopes of his recovery.
Hie brother Mr. C. M. Harris has tele
graphed tohave his remains expressedto
this city. They are expected to-morrow
afternoon. The deceased ' was about 24
years of age and was a son of the late
Thomas M. Harris, Esq. The young
man was born and raised in this city but
left here at the time of the removal of
the shops of tho W. C. & A. R. R. to
Florence. From Florence he -went to
Mobile and from Mobile to Birmingham
where he was engaged at work in the
railroad shops there. He has many friends
here who will be deeply grieved to hear
of his sudden and sad end. His death
is a great blow to his widowed mother
who has before had to bear up' under the
blow of the accidental killing cf another
son. i

habitual constipation, which no doubt
finally caused deranged kidneys and

The Crop of Naval stores
From Messrs Peacock Hunt & Co
Commission Merchants Savannah Geo.
we have an annual statement of receipt
of Naval Stores at that port duriag
the crop year from April 1st 1880 to
April 1st 1881. Tho number of casks of
spirits received daring' the time specified,
amount to 50,583; number of barrels of
rosin 257)127; increase over receipts of
previous year, 13,454 casks of spirits
and 64,440 barrels of rosin. Wilming
ton received during the same period 87,
107 casks of spirits and 444,552 barrels
of rosin, being 36,524 more spirits and
187,425 barrels more of rosin, thanSavan
nab, which has the States of Georgia
and Florida both to draw from. The
following extract from the same state
ment or circular will be found interest
ing to our dealers in Naval Stores.
In regard to the coming season, we
have replies from 144 parties, comprising
about all who are engaged in the busi
ness in Georgia and Floaida. These re

bnowing- a falling off this years of 11 1
crops, or about 10 per cent.
I he unusually baekward Sprinff bat
retarded the flow of sap, and compared
with 1880, one full "dipping" has already
been lost. ihere is uo way by which
this los3 can be repaired. The number
of "dippiugs" Will lairly average 8 dar
ing the season, consequently tne a-ggre-
gate crop must oe cnarged witn izj per
cent, loss already incurred. It is fair to
state, on the other side, that in the pro
duction of spirits turpentine this loss will
be modified to some extent, by the addi
tional old boxes to be worked this year.
Bnt we suggest to those who are accus
tomed to calculate on the basis of the
working of the trees in the Carolinias.
that our trees are abandoned much
earlier than in those States, many were
ing them only two years, and none after
the third year simply from the fact
that, with hired labor, and with an abun
dant supply of virgin p nes, it does not
pay to work old boxes when new ones
can be obtained. So, whil-a part of the
loss in spirits may bo overcome, we see
no way to avoid the conclusion that we
shall have a decrease of 22$ per cent, in
virgin rosins M, N and W G, Medium
and low grades; will probably hold their
own possibly gain a little. We have
so utile rosin granny beiow a mat it is
not a factor in our trade.
