The BATTLE or THE STUDEHTsl
Affair at A. { HI. College Subject
of Much Comment
What win Parents Think About Fight
ing Plan, Is Question Most Asked
President Winston Sorry for Occur
renee - Wilmington Student a
Heavy SGapPer.
Especial to The slessenger.)

Raleigh, Oct. 3I.-There was Nc
end Of talk about the fight between
the frsshmea and the sophomores al
the A and n College yesterday after
noon which follows the fight OF Tues
day afternoon.
One of the interesting questions Is.
and this was very frequently referred
to today, was what parents of the STU
dents would think Of this fighting
plan.
OF course at the great universities
north there are cane rushes which are
really fights like this, sometimes IN
der direction or supervision and some
times not, And these fights in that
part OF the country have been annual
events for a great many years. Of
course sometimes students get bad
ly hurt in these affairs and once III
a while one is kiiiea.
Some one remarked that if such
fights are allowed here it would 0e
reasonable to suppose that some II
would be seriously hurt. DR.. Winston
was very positive in speaking to yCur
AAS1p"AN%AN H. AA4cOi Al
saying that the days battle ended the
contest.
At the chapel today President Win
stOn spoke at considerable length III
regard to the cOmbatS, saying that
after all had been said he was sorry
they had occurred. He said a more
peaceful way of testing the strength
of the sophomores and freshmen had
been devised, this being the tug Of war.
He referred to the fact that forulany
years at the brig colleges there had
been PUSHES which are fights or bat
ties between sophomCres and fresh
men.
Speaking of the combat here he said
that the freshmen had certainly act
ed like men and that the sophomores
ought to treat them like men,.
Photographs were taken Of the on
bat yesterday. The boys said that it
was a very stirring sight and showed
lot of college spirit when the freshmen
sWooped down upon the athletic field
where the SOphOmOros were already |
lined up, each wearing q sweater with |
the date of graduation or it. Some Of |
the sophomores were yelling that the |
freshmen were not coming that they |
were afraid. but at that Infant giving |
their class yell here camethe fresh !
men upon the field, they wee quickly |
paired off and when the sigma vas Civ
en- the battle began. Some reshmen
would be down at one end of the |
line. looking to see fair play One |
Sophomore would hit a freshma, and |
then hit the same man, this elne
a violation OF the rule.
One Of the Quickest freshmen ,ss
young Seifert of Wilmington, who is |
a heavy scrapper and who has won E
place OF the football team. With hi
sleeves rolled up hi sailed into his op!
ponent sophomore all he wanted.
A careful summary made today OF
the results show five broken noses,
three Of them belonging to the soph-
ignores.

FARMERS FEEL LACK OF RAIN
Lone Dry Spell HAVING Bad Effect
on Crops
First Fall Lettuce VIII b. Ready for
SaipHreaf About Middle Of the
Notwithstanding for the Cabbage
Crop.

Farmers in all this section are
greatly deplorins the lack Of rain. the
present conditions proving hard on
growing crops. II was predicted rain
would fall last night and the news was
received with gratitude, but no rain
fell during the night. The predicrion
for today is cloudy Friday. possibly
rain along the coast Saturday fair
and warmer"
A gentleman in the city Yesterday
from q small station on the w. and ~.
read reported that conditions in his
section were not only severe but Sc
rious. and that in addition to crops
suffering, there was apprehension rs
to the water supply for drinking pur-
poses.
II has been about three weeks since
a good shower and the long spell OF
dry weather is serving greatly 20 re-
tard the growth of the fab crop or
lettuce. If conditions improve within
the mex day or two, and rain falls.
1t is expected that the fall crop OF
lettuce will be ready for shipment be
ginning about the 18th inst. The fall
crop o. lettuce is not near so large as
the spring crop, generally amounting
to ABOUT one-fourth of the earlier
shipments, but it brings in good re-
turns and it means much to the farm
ers of this section.
On the farms in the vicinity OF Will
nington fall blowing is now in prog
ress, the lands being prepared for tho
cabbage crops. The shipment OF cab
last year amounted to about fifty
car loads from this immediate section
and the prospects point 10 an increase
in the size OF the shipments this year.
Cabbage is a profitable crop and
good returns have been secured from
the shipments.

TOMBSTONE CHINKs HAD SECRET
 TUNNELS.

The burning down of Chinatown in San Francisco disclosed a number of startling tunnels and various. contriv. ances that had been used in hiding the members of the different tongs when pursued by officials or others. The tear. ing down of some old Chinese shacks in Tombstone, that have stood in that city for the past twenty five years, dur ing the past few days, reveals the fact that the Tombstone Chinese inhabitants had number of the same sort of "c0n' veniences.
 A few days ago W. R King pur' chased several of the Chinese laundry houses and began to tear them down. The work revealed the existence of s nimber of passageways from one build ing to the others, so that 1t would be possible to enter one building and come ont the door of another half block away and on another street.
 In one of the buildings a secret door was found in the floor, which, when opened, revealed box buried in the ground large enough to hold the body of human being, lying down. Run ming from the top of the box to the roof was built an air flue about sir inches square. so that one hid in tho box could he furnished air. The boz shows evidence of having been in re cent use, and, no doubt, has been th' hiding place of Chinese who have en tered the country illegally from Mex leo and were hid here from the watch ful eyes of the immigration inspector until they could be spirited away t' other parts or the country.
