MAJ. GUTHRIE',S REMA RKS.

That little charge made against Maj.
w. A. Guthrie about what he said
about the Baptist denomination at a
banquet In Chapel Hill last year, has
stirred up little interest after all. 1t
has been stated that MAJ. Guthrie
charged the Baptist denomination with
leading the fight against State aid to
the University, and that he spoke of
them as "traitors."
Mai. Guthrie denies it, but THE CON-
MONwEALTH heard an alumnus of the
University say last week that Maj.
Guthrie's remarks amounted in sub
stance to what has been stated that he
said.
The gentleman who talked of the
matter to us stated that he nudged bis
neighbor at the time Maj. Guthrie
made the remarks and told him to lis
ten carefully to what the speaker was
saying.

Mr.. J. L. Shaw of Littleton says that il
is fifteen miles from that town to War
rem Plains, and the county road crosses
the railroad just twenty-three times be-
tween the two towns.
The editor of THE COMMONWEALTH
has passed around some during the
past two weeks, and from passing obser-
walton the crops seem to be cut off almost
half by the drought. Cotton has sui
fered perhaps more than early corn.
Some one was remarking of the ex-
tremely hot and dry season at Littleton
Monday, when Mr.. J. L. Shaw said that
he remembered when he could easily
wade across Roanoke river. There
have been longer and more severe
droughts, but seldom have people suf-
fered more for the same length of time.
One of the most delightful hours we
spent at Morehead last week was the
complimentary sail rendered the Scot
land Neck party by Mr.. J. A. Vance,
who was married here July 3Oth. Mr..
and Mrs. Vance were very cleyer to the
Scotland Neck people and seemed to be
enjoying the time taking in the. sea
breeze.
"What do you think of the political
situation?' is heard on every hand.
Almost every one can tell you what he
thinks, but that does not at all mean
that he voices the sentiment of his
neighbOr who is listening to him.
There is as much difference of opinion
~Rew about the result of the present po-
htlcal campaign as there was before
Mckinley and Bryan were nominated.
The presidents and principals of the
various schools in the State, male and
female, seem to be quite active in their
work this summer. Schools have been
generally advertised and much person
al work has been done. But there is
some fear that the partial failure of the
crop by reason of the drought, will in
terfere with the patronage. Many of
the best patrons of the different schools
are farmers and any failure in the crops
affects the schools perhaps as quickly
as any other business.
