1t may be of interest to some of
your readers to know that North Car
olina has six representatives here this
year, five of them graduate students.
-Four are from Wake For est, one from
Davidson and one from the Univer-
sity. So you see we can meet here on
common ground and rub off whatever
preiudices we may nave once had. In
decd, It would be hard to find more
congenial set of Tarheels than our
selves. -Four Of us have lodgings at
the same house, together with one Ten
nessean and you know Tennessean
is practically the same the same thing
as 2 North Carolinian. 1t is needless
to say that we have no quarrels on
that score. But woe to the Virginian
who plants his State pride in our
faces We take about halfa-dozen
North Carolina papers, and manage,
ia spite Of our work, to keep pretty
we'll posted on home afairs-especial-
" politics. OF course we read THE
SENTINEL; and let me say by way of
pareuthesis that we very greatly en-
joyed Mrs. G. P. Spencer's highly en-
tertsining and appreeiative article on
Patrick Henri, which appeared in
your columns some time since. 10
Daniels Chronicle we could not keep
from reading if we tried ever so hard.
We are especially interested in the
gUbaruatorial race. If our delegation
could be allowed a say SO in sthe mat
ter, think solid vote would be cast
for Mr.. Julian S. Carr, but since he
has withdrawn from the race, our next
preference is for Judge Fowle. We
feel that he has not received that rec
ognition from the party which he so
richly deserves, and furthermore that
he will make a brilliant canvass and
an able governor.
But let me say something more
about the personnel of our party, The
Tennessean I referred to above is Mr..
james Cummings, of Knoxville. He
has distinguished himself in the Uni
versity by his literary abilities no less
than by his more exact scholarly at
tainments. He has written enough
poetry to fill volume, but as yet has
cared very little about Publishing it.
He won the first literary prize ever Of
fered by the University for such work.
He has also published prize essay
in Lippincotfs Magazine. His poem
read at the Lanier Memorial has been
warmly praised by very able citizens.
Mr.. Cummings graduated at the Uni
versity of Tennessee in 1880, winning
the valedictory, and has since then
been teaching and studying. He has
the offer of more than one good posi-
ton, but, unless he accepts one of these
he will return to the University and
take his Ph. D. in June, 1883.
Mr.. Charles Lee Smith, of Durham,
who graduated at Wake Forest Col :
lege in '84, is Fellow in History and
Politics for the current year. These
Fellowships yield five hundred dol
lars, and tuition, per year, and the
winner of one of these may we'll be
proud of the honor. Mr.. Smith also
won scholarship during his second
year-He will spend next summer in
Germany, and will return next year
and take his doctors degree. His
History OF Education in North Caro-
lima is in the hands of the printers at
Washington (the Bureau of Educa-
ton will issue. it as one of its series)
and may be expected some time dur
ing the summer. It is cause for con-
graduation that our young men are
turning their attention to subjects
connected with our own history.
Mr. Walter P. Stradley, of Oxford
has spent his first year here, as he will
other years, in laying deep ..and broad
foundations IN history and interna
| tional law, upon which he expects te
base an accurate knowledge of com
mon and constitutional law. He wor
