From present indications, it looks very much i;ke theco 'eges and other education?1 institutions of the State are going to make determined efforts to put an entN to haz;ng. Four Sophomores were erpe"ed from the Agricul tural and Mechanic? ' Co"ege, at Ra'.eigh, the past week for haz-ng Freshmen. At Tv-iity inemseives in aa empuuac man ner against the -custom.- :.--l-ie State "University, afi Uhapet.If 7,1 has done .rkewise. We don't tb:nk that tb5s prac tice among students has p'ways been as barbaric as it is thought to have been by some who are not familiar wiJj the rep! condi tions at these institutions- We believe there are instances whe 'e boys have entered a coege so ridicu'ously fresh that a little touch of the simpler forms of hazing has done them good. Jt had the effect of rubbing the fresh fellow down and taking the freshness out of him. In former years it was done by students for the fun that was in it and no harm was ever done unless it was an exceptional case- Reports of how hazing is being done in the past year or two gives a different aspect to it. In the case of the Agricultural and Mechanical College students, where the Freshmen were made to clean up and look after the rooms of a dormitory by the Sophomores, the proceeding was disgraceful and cowardly. No gentleman would assume, the right to have his room cleaned and attended to by an under classman. A Freshman ought to resent any imposition like this as a personal insult and resent it hard. The authorities should Cud will help him to resent it as a matter of principle, r At the University the past week Freshman Hatch was wa'Vng along one of the dark streets and was met by three or four other students who bad been there loDger. One of them, O'Ne"', made an effort to grab Hatch.The latter, in a moment of fright and dread of hazers, drew bis pistol and shot O'Neill, inflictincr a slieht wound. Hatch says the Sophomores had threatened bim previously and he thought the time had come and he did what he did to devend h;msei" against being hazed. Trris inci dent w Jl probably have a good ef feet towards stopp'ng the prac tice there. Mayor Thompson has had no tices posted in public places about the town that hereafter the ordinance in regard to ob struction of side rp Iks and streets will be enforced. The section referred to is: "Obstructing the sidewa'ks, or streets with any buggy, wheelbarrow or other vehicley chairs, benches, open gates, chicken coops, boxes or other articles (except infant car riages and invalid chairs) shall r ende r the off ende r s u bject tqr a fine of five dol'ars. , Provided; that nothing in tb'S section stir1) prevent builders from obstruct ing the streets, but not side walks, for a reasonable length of time with materir! while work is in progress. Provided, further, Uihat merchants exhibiting their goods ou the'sidewak in front of their stores shaH leave a - space of sU feet thereon clear. The above ordinance Js a good one and should be strictly en forced. The sideways are in tended for people to walk" on and should not be blocked, ' taki ng I from the people their right of way. In regard to bloclr'ng the streets with vetncles, tbis is a most dangereous practice. We have noticed anywhere .from fiv to ten idle veb'cJes standing on one streets If a horse attached to a buggy should become fright ened, run away and crash into them some day the town would have to. stand the expenses of a law suit for damages. Mayor Thompson is tr'.ing the proper tfteps." and we hope to .see our streets and sidewalks kep clean- Ve believe the idea f hat Wash ;ngton City wished to convey to the merchants of this section, as embodied in ihe visit of the Greater Washington Specia' under the auspices of the Wash I irfttftTOfife (frBotfr&e. .

They came all in a jumble, frightened crea tures, and settled on the roofs of tbe tal buildings on Market Square, the McKethan and the Knights of Pytbias buildings. A!l night the police at headquar. ters could hear the geese bonk ing, the ducks'' quacV'ng and qua5,s piping. By early morn ing the great mass, fluttering and scream infc. flew away. On Market Square were left hun dreds of the sma'lec birds dead, either fi-om the exhausiiion f com their long flight, or from being pounded and beaten against the electric J'giits.

Hatch Discharged. Darham Herald' There was a great deal of talk yesterday over the shooting in Chapel 6"l r:ght before last the shooting in wb-ch Freshman Hatch shot and wounded Sopho-mo-eO'Ner1'. It is learned that young Hatch tas been discharged from cus tody and that the condition of 0'Ne;,i is such that it is now p - most ceria'n that he wiU recover. It was the tat of Chapel HiH yesterday. A great many of the citizens did not know of the shooting yesterday. From what was learned yes terday it seems that Freshman Hatch, who is notb'ng more than a mee boy, being about seven teen and smp1'. for b's age, was arra:nged. He wason handwhen the case was crved. But there Were no witnesses-The wounded Sophomore did not want to prose cute and those with the men are not known. 1 hat ended the case so far as the magistrate w'as con derned. He could not force Hatch to the stand to tell wb$the knew about the matter and there was no other person who seemed to know and Hatch was discharg ed. Farmers Increasing. Louisville Poit.
