PAOF. FOUR . 1 ' ' " - ' Old Xsgbn-Route Recalls Passage Q Famed General The celebration at Yorktown this week of the 153rd anniver sary of the surrender of Corn wallis, brings to mind the legend that the famous British general passed within several miles of where Chapel Hill now stands. This is a fact little known now, but most of the older residents of this village recall the story that Cornwallis came close to crossing the site of the Univer sity. Just on the other side of Carr .boro, one can see the sunken wagon road which was cut through the wilderness by Corn wallis and his redcoats when the University; was nothing more than an idea in the back of Gen ral Davie's head. In Fear of Rebels Cornwallis, making his mem orable trip through the southern colonies, was on his way from the state capital at Hillsboro to the port of Wilmington. Legend has it that Cornwallis had to keep part of his men on guard constantly while the others hack- d a way through the wilderness because of the ambushes of the rebel farmers. Several skirmish- es occurred on this part of the road, and the British marched in terror of their unseen foes. The general and his men devi ated' from their route from time to time to pillage and plun der the farms along the way. The old road lies to the west of, the town of Chapel Hill on the other side of what is now the village of Carrboro. Now it is a wasnea-out, narrow wagon road, in use only by the farmers of the neighborhood. Haunted ; For many years after the devolution, the old road was still in use as the only road from Pittsboro to the capital at Hills- boro. Now the farmers who use it for a wagon trail point it out to strangers with pride, refer - ring to it as "Cornwallis' Road." The farms along the. way are among the oldest in the state, and they have in many cases the descendants of colonists living on their ancestral farms. NEGROES SHOT IT "AMPN RROTTTFR" ' (Continued from page one) m a way that seemed to inspire them to further shouting. Final- ly, they fell back in their seats exhausted. After more preaching and reading from the "Holy Book," the preacher called on the con- gregation to 'give all the money they could. He appointed two of the brethren to come forward and change money for the giv- ers, and he told the people to rise from yo' seats so you can! git to yo pocketbooks." The congregation marched up one by one, and made their contribu- tions with loud "clinks" that! could be heard all over the church. Six Cents After he made a count, the preacher wanted , "six cents more," and called on "our white frens to help us." The visiting students then went up from the back of the church, and made contributions amid, a chorus "HX,r An T "Praise to "Amen!" de Lord !", and , When the collections had been made, things seemed to be about oyer. The preacher got them all tp promise to "git. the baptism," and then the meeting closed with a fervent benediction, with the usual "Amens." As soon as the last words had been said, the crowd started" pushing out, and with much talking and jostling, homeward bound, filled with DECISION ON FETE GOES TO FACULTY Student-Faculty Day Decision Is Referred to Faculty Meeting.

Evenly Matched According to past records the two contenders are as evenly matched as they can possibly be. Both were poor clubs last sea son but have come out strongly under new coaches this year.
