When the accounts were checked, it was discovered that 77 students owed the "Yackety Yack" for space in the publica tion, the total amount being $350.25. Since they were registered in vrof essional schools, 45 of these students did not pay for indivi dual space, although space was given them in the book. Of this number, 18 are students of pharmacy, 20 of law, and seven of medicine. Each owes the publication $5.25.

The men were two of the con victs from the state prison in Raleigh, who were engaged in railroad construction. In the short hour before quitting time, just before 5 :00 o'clock, they had worked their way over to the right of the large group, and when a short distance away, had suddenly taken to their heels. Burch Involved P. L. Burch, who is now head ing the buildings department, had been connected with the su pervision of the prisoners. It was he who told this story. It was he, it seems, who gave the first alarm, and who was large ly instrumental in starting the formation of the large posse that followed the men.
