Correspondence of The Messenger.)
Chapel Hill, N. c., October 8.
The university law school sent up
sixteen men for license at the present
term Of the superior court, with the
professors certificate n all but one
passed successfully. Of the four best
papers, so the judges say, the univer-
sity students put up three and Wake
Forest the other, and the best paper
was from a university man. This
speaks we'll for the excellent training
of that most efficient professor in law,
DR.. Manning, and he is proud Of the
record his class has made.
Out of the ninety-six counties in the
state eighty-four are represented this
year, while only seventy-six were rep
resented last year. There are more
different religious views held by the
boys this year thar ever before, near
ly every denomination having some
representatives. AS usual, the Metho-
dists lead in number, while the Bap-
fists and Episcopalians are nearly
equal for second place, followed by the
Presbyterians.
All the classes have elected their
class officers, except, of course, the
\ ANSil AAdSS.
All the class DOT ball teams are out
in the field practicing and the first
inter-class game will occur next week.
The facts and statistics are being
gathered by the proper persons for The

the present year will occur soon.

FROM THE FLOWERY KINGDOM
A WILMINGTON Boy Sends News Of In

Several newspapers from far away
Hong Kong have been received in this
city from Mr.. w. 3. Walker, a young
WiImingtonian in that city Of the
Flowery Kingdom, holding a position
of trust with the Standard Oil Com
pany. The papers contain many in
teresting articles relative to the Span
ish-American war, and the situation
in Manila and Hong Kong.
The Overland China Mail gives a
tabulated table of all the American
and foreign warships in Japanese and
Chinese waters. Great Britain and
Russia seem to be mastering forces,
as the former has thirty-four ships
there and the latter has twenty. All
these are, Of course, Warships, and
Her Majesty's fleet includes a dispatch
boat,a surveying ship, two sloops, three
first class battleships, -four first class
armored cruisers, two first class cruis-
ers, three second class cruisers, one
third class cruiser, four torpedo boat
| destroyers, seven gunboats, two coast

| ceiving ship and one stOreship. Russia
twenty war vessels embrace two sec
Ond class b~attleships, n armOred
cruiser, six cruisers, six %gunboats, four
| sloops and the flagship Rurik.
Great Britain has all of her vessels
re~ndezvoused in the Chinese waters
but Russia has part of hers in both
! him and Japan. Russia hasn't a shir
at the port of Hong Kong, while Grea1
Britain has twelve.
Other nations that have large repre-
s%entation in Chinese and Japanese wa.
ters are France and Germany. The
former has ten warships and the latter
eight. There is also one Italian cruis

In DIRT
Our Real Estate Agents Did a battling
Business

ONA
Business
When October rolls around, which
is generally moving month";" it is al
ways interesting to note what the
dealers in dirt have done. In other
words to see if the business done by
real estate agents has marked progress
~siveness or not. Now Wilmington has
several exceedingly live firms Of this
kind, and during the past September
the three foremost, Major D. O'Connor,
Mr.. w. NJ. Cumming and Messrs. j.
G. Wright and Son, accomplished bust
ness that marks prosperity in this city,
especially taking into consideration
the building that is going on around
us.
Major D. O'Connor managed to rent,
we say dead easy, about forty-two
modern appointed dwelling houses and
over twenty stores.
Mr.. w. M. Cumming sold property to
the amount of So, 900, and rented a
large number of stores and residences.
Messrs. J. G. Wright and Son effect
ed the sale of $4,000 worth of property.
They rented forty odd first class dwell
ings.
Of course, there "a a large, very
large, number of houses on the out
skirts of the city that were rented, but
these were not taken into considera-
tion in the above list. All dwellings
and stores mentioned were desirable
ones, and a yearly contract was made
for each.

Beat a Woman and Got Arrested

In the vicinity of Eighth street, be-
tween Market and Princess, last night
about 10 o'clock, quite a row occurred.
Dave Cause, colored, administered a
sound ~drubbing to a woman, and she
made the welkin ring for squares
around with her loud cries for mercy.
Quite a number of the neighbors
rushed to the woman'S rescue, and
forcibly stayed the blows Of her as
sailant. They then held Cause and
sent for the police, who took the wo-
man-beater in custody and carried him
to tn trd house and locked him up.
