A Most Successful Tear In the History of this Excellent Institution. The commencement exercises of the Laura Sunderland School were for mally opened Thursday night by a musical recital by the students in mu sic at the school. The commencement exercises of this school always at tract a large number of visitors and this year the number was much larger than in any previous year, the chapel and recitation room being unable to hold the large audience. The entire programme was rendered in a manner that did credit both to the school and the young ladies. The commencement programme was completed last night with the class ex ercises "by the members of the gradu ating class. The exercises were at tended by a large audience who were most' pleasantly entertained by the ex cellent way in which the young la- . dies of the graduating class performed - their part of the program. This has been a most successful year in the 'history of Laura Sunderland School and the enrollment has been up to the limit of the school all the year, numbering eixty-five students. Miss Loma Trull, a member of the senior class, won the distinction of making ..the highest scholarship average of any student at the school. The fac ulty of the school is composed-of the following ladies: Miss Montgomery, principal ; Miss Oriswold, Miss Bryan, Miss McCartney and Miss Riggs. Southern Presbyterian Assembly. One of the big fights of the Southern Presbyterian Assembly was inaugura ted Friday when the ad interim com mittee on marriage and divorce was called upon to report. So divergent were the views of its members that at tempts to procure a majority report were abandoned. Dr. W. E. Boggs, Atlanta, Ga., the last moderator, and Dr. W. Joplin, Red Springs, N. C, submitted a re port recommending radical changes in the confensionof faith. Dr. Russell Cecil, Richmond, Va., and Dr. R. H. Fleming recommended that no changed be made. Dr. Boggs wanted lo debar , poly gamists from baptism and -the Lord's supper. Dr. -Cecil was in favor of missionaries exercising discretion in extending membership to heathen polygamists, claiming that . great hardships would result from Tequir ing heathens to desert all but one wife and one family. Dr. Boggs opposed the Church's continuing to allow "wilful deser tion" as a cause of divorce. He also recommended an amendment of the confession so as to allow 'the guilty party in adultery divorces upon fur nishing satisfactory evidence of re pentance to the Church, to remarry. He claimed there was nothing in the scriptures forbidding this. A Pressing Obligation. "Putting off advertising," says a writer in Printers' Ink, "is putting off a debt that you owe to your busi ness. Every day the interest mounts. Every day, because of" added compe tition, the debt becomes harder to meet." Many "non-advertisers post pone the settlement of this obligation because they do not realize how easy it is to discharge it in small install ments. The little "ad" in the daily newspaper leads by gradual and con venient stages to the half page and the full page spread, paying. ite own was as it goes. The big advertiser of today sang small at the beginning. ' The suceess they have achieved is . open to merchants of very moderate capital who back up brains and energy with regular advertising in The Trib , une. V : '-" ' '-"'- -'- - v.

Pitts, of this city, has received her appointment from the Foreign Mission Committee of the Presbyterian church as a foreign missionary. Miss Pitts "will be located at Kensan, Korea. She will sail either the 27th of July of the 1st of August. ' Miss .Pitts la now in charge of the new hospital t Spartan ' burg, S.

The debates on the question of the change of the. name of the church took up the greater part of both morning and afternoon seons of the General Lonterence at AsheviUe Friday. Gray haired veterans pleaded that the name be kept as it is. Others thought that it was time to do away with sentiment and give the church a name which would be acceptable to the congrega' tions or tne west. rue measure adopted at the morning session to name the church the Methodist Church was vetoed at the afternoon session by the college of bishops. At the after noon session the conference voted to change the name to the Methodist Episcopal Church of America and re quested the bishops, as it was a consti tutional question, to have the annual conferences vote on the question. Not until the next general conference can the name be legally changed if by a three-fourths votes of members of the annual conferences vote in favOr of a change. It is being predicted that the church at large will not ac cept the change and equally confident are the delgates who favor the change that the conferences will support them. History of Phifer Family. Charlotte News. Mr. Geo. E. Wilson has had pub lished a hisory of the Phifer family. The title is "Genealogy or History of the Phifer Family." The preface says : "This book, containing the geneal ogy of the Phifer family, was written many years ago by Mr. Charles H, Phifer, late of Concord, N. ft, but was never published. In order to pre serve it, x causea a manuscript copy of it to be made and this book is published from that copy. Thinking that this genealogy and history is wor thy of being preserved for the benefit of the descendants of Martin Phifer, Sr., i have bad the same published. "It is my desire to place a copy of the publication in the possession of the descendants of Martin Phifer, Sr., as a family history, in order that the genealogy and history of the family may be preserved. "GEO. E. WILSON, "Charlotte, N. C, April 25, 1910. Mr. Wilson's mother was Mary Louisa Phifer, a full sister of William F. Phifer, father of Messrs. W. W. and George M. Phifer. Child Burned to Death. A small child of Mr. Arthur L. Leonard, a well-known farmer who lives several miles from Lexington, was burned to death Thursday, says the Lexington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer. Two of his chil dren' while playing with matches set a strawstack near the barn on fire, and when they saw what they had done they both ran to the barn to hide. The barn soon caught and the oldest child escaped from the building, but the younger one kept crawling back from the heat until he got where he could not escape and was burned to death. The barn with its contents, including several animals, machinery, feed, etc., was destroyed. Scotia Seminary Commencement. The commencement at Scotia Sem intry, will take place next week.

' The Opposition to Judge Long, v Statesville Landmark. ; The opposition to Judge Long is somewhat unusual. He ia finishing his first term and according to Democratic precedent he is entitled to another. His ability and qualifications are not questioned. Nothing was beard of op position to him until a few months ago, when he refused to change a sen tence in a certain ease. It was then announced .in the newspapew and not denied, so far as wte can recall that Judge Long would have opposi tion. It might be well for the people of the district to look into the matter. Any lawyer bas a. right to ran for judge at any time of course. But a judge whose only offence is that be has done his duty as be aaw rt, and could not be swerved, is the sort of man to keep on the bench. . .. ; Thev av that truth will rise acrain. but it won't after it goes down the third time. .

A Mighty Truth. Lexington Herald. This eastern, central and western North Carolina business is a puzzler for fair. When it waa made known that Chairman Rogers, of the corpor ation commission, a western man, would retire, and Mr. H. C Brown, secretary to the Corporation Commis sion, announced his candidacy, be posed as a western man; at least his friends declared him to be, although for eighteen years he has lived in Ral eigh. We at that time urged the name of Mr. W. T. Lee, of Haywood, because it would not be fair to the West to name Mr. Brown. Now the Hon. A. W. Graham comes forward as a candidate for the "central" commissioner-ship, made vacant by the death of Mr. B. F. Aycock, and he says that Mr. Brown stands for the "'western" commissionership. Where upon Mr. Brown, who was appointed to succeed Mr. Aycock, most nnpatri otically forgets his mountain raisin' and declares the is holding down the "central"' job himself. To the man out for office all sections are west, central or east. as. the exigences of the hour may dictate. Meanwhile we are still standing by Mr. W. T. Lee, from beyond the ridge for the nomi nation. Just Say "Nunnally's 99 WHEN you want the purest, highest quality candies made in all the Southland, ask for bonbons and chocolates.
