Especial to News and Observer

Wilmington, N c., March "A per
sonal encounter between Y. NJ. C. A. Secre-
tary Charles Dushan and Captain Joseph
j. Bowden, for many years Seaboard
Air Line conductor, occurred today IN
front of the association building. Captain
Bowden was having some words with AS
sistant Y. VI. C. A. Secretary J. A. Ar
mold, who recently boarded at the nome
of Captain BOwden, and Mr.. Dushan re-
monstrated with the irate conductor about
his conduct, saying most men would re-
sent the language he was employing to-
ward the younger man.
Captain Bowden then applied an epithet
to Secretary Dushan personally and was
dealt a staggering blow in the face. The
attack was renewed and Captain Bowden
at length drew his knife. Dushan's over
coat and trouser leg were cut. but the
wounds were only superficial. Neither OF
the men was seriously injured, though
blood flowed pretty freely for time.
Captain Bowden later went to the as
ISOLATION building to get satisfaction out
of Dushan, but his son deferred him from
further violence. Warrants were sworn
out for him upon charges of assault with
deadly weapon and TO guarantee his
keeping the peace. The fight caused a
mild sensation here, where both men are
well known.

Corn Exhumed From Indian Grave to

Especial to News and Observer.)


Fuquay Springs, N. c.. March Mrs.
P. B. Farmer. of this place has a small
quantity of corn which is over three hun
dred years old and which she will plant
this spring as an experiment. The ker-
nels, though a trifle yellower near the
heart than fresh corn look as if they still
retained the vital principle.
The circumstances under which these
kernels were found are OF interest.
Some months ago Messrs Bryan and Col
Inns, having large saw mill interests in
East Tennessee, We're passing through
some heavily timbered land near Tate
Springs when their attention was attract
ed by huge clay root" or tree up
rooted by the wind. This tree, an oak
of mighty girth showed three hundred
concentric rings, in a section of its trunk
indicating its great age.
In the vast cavity left by the oaks up
heaval the two men found some human
bones crumbling to decay, and among
them number of Indian relics-hint ar
row heads, stone tomahawk. beads OF
shell, etc. But the most interesting dis
covery was that of stone Jar hermeti-
cally sealed.
With some difficulty this was forced
open and found to be filed with corn. an
parently IN state of complete preserva-
ton.
Now it is part of this ancient maize not
from the dust of Egyptian mummy. but
old enough heaven knows, that Mrs.
Farmer will plant this spring. Needless
to say, results will be watched with pro
found interest.

tSpecl2l 10 News @nd Observer
Whiteville. N. c., March 2.-When
label Register was hanged last week fol
the murder of Jim Staley, color2d A. c..
Smith, who was implicated in the muir
der of Jesse Soles the same night, in the
same house, through label Register was
somewhat relieved as one OF the principal
witnesses against him could not put in
an appearance to testify, and he thought
possibly he would escape another trial
altogether.
But he was too sanguine in this par
ticular, as Smiths own attorney says his
indictment holds good against him, and
he will either be placed on trial during
the present week or at the next term OF
court in April.
When he is placed on trial H B. Reg
lister, the father Of label, will unques-
tionably be brought here to give evidence
against Smith, from the State penten-
tiary where he is serving life sentence.
Gross Edmondson. who was with label
on the night OF the murder and who
turned States evidence. will be brought
here by Homer L. Lyon, Smiths attor-
ney, as soon as Smith is placed on trial,
according to Lyons statement to a News
and Observer reporter on Saturday. Ed
mcndson said nothing about Smith in
former trials.
When our representative saw Smith
the last time. the day before the eXecu-
ton OF Register, he was apparently in the
best of spirits and said he did not fear
conviction.
There is one thing certain and that is
that no stons will be left unturned to
prove the guilt or innocence of A. c.
Smith. The people are clamoring for his
trial and the solicitor is just as eager to
get at the truth of the matter as quickly
