"A WAR INCIDENT
A Duel Between Major Belo and Captain
Cousins
(WinSton JOurnal.)

Wv iiStoi JUL man.
Amongst the brave soldiers produced
by the late war there was none Drawer
or more gallant than Major A. H. Bel /.
a Salem man., and now the editor and
owner of The Galveston n Dallas
News. In the same command to which
Major BelO belonged there was \
tall, magnificent young captain with
the Y Of an eagle and flowing hair
that gave the true leOnine appearance
to the massive head. He was Captain
Cousins and his GOODNESS and Drawer"
in battle was DrOverbial in thear1ny.
Fol some reason or other Captain Ou-
sins considered himself badly treated by
Major Belo, and in his fiery and i'm
p%etuOus manner remarked to the ma
jOr that his rank alone protected him.
Major BelO unbuckled his sword and
laying it aside informed the captain
that he asked not that of rank, which
he could do for himself A meeting
was instantly arranged and the COM
batants faced each other at a few PAGES
with army rifles. At the first fire Ma
jOr BelO was uninjured while his bull
let grazed Captain Cousins neck, draw
ing the blood. While the the guns
were being reloaded a long rolling fire
was heard or the right. 1t was an at
tack on the confederate lines. Cap
ain Cousins listened for a moment and
an angelic smile Wreathed his face n
a twinkle of humOr came into his eye
as he turned to his antagonist and
said: Major don't you think there are
enough Yankees to shoot without prac-
ticing on each Other?" Major BelO
grasped his hand and it is unnecessary
to say that ended the duel. The two
men became fast friends and that
friendship endures to this day. After
the war captain Cousins married a
rich widow and now has a large print
ing establishment just out of Rich
mond, while Major Belo went to Texas
and has grown rich and famous, as the
editor and owner of the greatest papers
in the Lone Star State.

Shotguns have been brought into the
republican fight for spoils.
Alton Angler. brother Of United

most marvellous escape Wednesday
night.
The shotgun was brought out for him
in Harlem, Ga.
Assassination was attempted and but
for an intervening pillow he would not

Mr.. Angler has been in the little town

The Wilson White Cap Case.
Correspondence Of The Messenge

WA ~ III = ISL.
Wilson, N. c, June =.
Court adjourned late Saturday night
after it was discovered that the jury in
the white cap case could not agree. and
the jurors and witnesses were all dis
charged until the next term of court in
November.
The white cap case occupied two
days, Friday and Saturday. 1t was
one of the most sensational cases even
tried in the county. In June 1895, +. T..
Lucas. was dragged from his house
at night by a crowd OF masked men and
painfully beaten with sticks, leather
thongs, and other of tor
ture. Suspicion rested upon several
different parties, and finally James
| Montgomery,John Borce. Pharaoh Rowe
and Jacob Lamm. all living in the
ne~ighbOrhOOd Of Lucama, were arrested
and arraigned for trial.
The state was ably represented by j.
H. POu, J. E. Woodland, S. \. Woodland,
and Solicitor C. NJ. Bernard. The de-
PENDANTS We're as ably sustained by G.
b. AycOck, J. r. UzZell, and j. II. Tay-
Tor. The speeches Of all of these gem
tlemen were eloquent and pointed. The
judge was fair and candid in his
charge, n the jury after keeping to-
gether for OVer two hours were dis
charged without rendering a verdict.
The case has been before our courts for
| over a year and has cost the county
over s., 900 and is likely to cost much

The Port Royal Dock Ready for Use.

Washington, June THE Port Royal
drydock has been restored TO condition
for service, to he great qualification
of the naval officials. This morning,
Commander Rockwell, the

the navy department hat the dredging
had beeen completed and that the dock
vas ready for immediate use. Repre-
sentative Elliott, of South Carolina,
was at the navy department today
urging hat the battleship Indiana,
which is badly in need of cleaning, be
sent to Port Royal for docking and it
is probable this will be done, as, owing
to the failure of congress to make the
urgent appropriation Secretary Long

fore that dock will be available.

The Maid and the Domino

She was a mOdeSt-appearing girl,
and as pretty as a girl we'll could be,
says The St. LOuiS GlObe-DemOcrat.
Her great blue eyes looked out rom
under her new Easter bonnet in
a way liable to bewitch any man. She
came into the Union station yesterday
afternoon and slowly descended the
steps, apparently unconscious of the
many admiring glances cast in her di-
rection. In her arms were many bun
dies, all of them small, but of such odd
shapes that they were difficult to carry.
AS the young woman took her foot
from the last step of the long stairway
a look of perpleXity fitted across her
face. Then, as she started to cross the
waiting room, those who were watching
her saw something on the floor, where
she had dropped it. A dozen men start
ed forward to pick it up, saw what it
was, and then m~anOeuVered SO that it
would appear as if they had not noticed
it. The young m aware of her
loss, kept straight on, and never LOOKED
behind her.

had seen the article fall, and he went
