The teport wss recently sent ont that Jsdge Bobinsoo, Superior Coart Judge, at the last meeting of the Qra- hsm eonaty court, ctuffed cotton in his ssrs while Hon. Kope Bliss was speak ng for a prisoner charged with mur der. The tenor of the report from Graham was to the effect that lodge Boblnson wilfully placed the cotton In hi ears to keep from hearing Mr Bliss apeak. The Greensboro Beeord also published the statement of Greensboro eltixen, in which he stated that Judge Boblnson sent ths sheriff out after eotton, but he returned and said he sould find nons. Thsn the gentleman stated that hie Honor turn ed to him and ask If could not get the cotton for him, sad that he did go from the building and procured the cotton which Judge Bobinaon stuffed in both ears. These reports were wide. ly circulated over the state and Judge Boblnson hss never denied them. "When Judge Boblnson passed through the eity last week Justiee Furebes of the Spreme Court question ed the Judge about the report whleh had gained aueh wide currency. Judge Robertson explained it by stating that hs meant no discourtesy whatever to Hon. Kope Ellas. He ssld thst ths dsy was very cold aad ha left the Bench aad took a ssat assr ths stove, while Mr. Bliss wss spssklng, in order to wsrm. Lawyer J. A.

Judgs Robinson smiled and assented with a nod of his head. Both of the gentleman placed eotton In their ears in a spirit of fun snd they nsver ex peeted to hear more of it. Judge Robinson's - surprise was complete whs be saw the statement going the rounds that he had staffed eotten In his ssrs while on ths bench In order to keep from betrlngKopeEIIss speak.''

Yesterday afternoon there came into the clothing store i f Levine and Bro"n, on Wilmington street, a dark youtb, Jeffries by name. In reply to query from Clerk Harris, he said that be only wanted to warm. Bat soon Mr. Jeffries started to tbe door.

Tb&t.tbe anti-State aid, or as popu larly called, the auti I'niveraity, fight has been opened again by tbe reeen Sod repeated lectures of Dr. Kilgo, of Trinity College, rn "Christian educt' Hon," was significant; that the Biblica Recorder, the orgau of the Baptist de nomination and the leader in the anti State aid fight, should thus early take occasion to again declare that the Hap tists wiii atiib pp to the principle and again force their views to trie rr out, is more significant still. The following is an editorial which will be published in to-morrow' Re corder: "Speaking from a teculai point of view, it is apparent from the action and the spirit of the Baptist State Convention at Greensboro that the Faptists iu .North Car. 'Una are determined to persist iu their opposi tioo to State aid to higher education. ineir prineip'es are benind their op position, and they will cling to them It is worthy of note in this connection that a gentleman of Virginia declared to the contention that tbe same prin ci pies are fiuding lodgment in the minds i f the people of Virginia; and also, that the rcc-nt Constitutional Convention of South Carolina emphat ically refused, sfter a great struggle, to accept an amendment contrary to these principles. It Is now a charac ters' ii- of the average Baptist in North CsroliLt lb! h- is opposed to 8tnte aid to higher education; and misrep resented though he has been, as seek ing the destruction of institutions, he is not the less sure of the justness of his contention or the ultimate ureva- nce of his principles " bo when the next Legislature meets ppests tt'at President Winston will have to fight aL-aii with an almost united Iiaptist denomination; and in place of the late Dr Durham, it looks SB though the bnliiant Methodittt op at Durham W'll also take the field. Whether the latter can carry with him tbe Methodist denomination, which this spring was friendly to tbe Uui versity, is doubtful . That, however, he will try to do so. does not seem in the least improbable His recent Hpeeches before tbe two Methodist conference would i ertainly point that way.

For it is the gallery's privilege toUogh; and laugh it did. As to the show, ill- j ikes, as s rule, were fairly good, though sometimes rather too bro'td in character.
