Borne days ago a merchant showed the Post a book of old bills that he bas transferred from his cred it book .which he classes as accounts that cannot Je collected. These bills range from a few dolars to $39 and it would astonish the man who pays bis bills to see the names on this book.

Don't tik Commissioner Oabel's Talk About Stills. Raleigh,- May 15. The reports sent out last week by Washington corres pondents about what Commissioner of Internal Revenue Cabtf,of Richmond, has to say about illicit distilling in North. Carolina has: caused soma dis cussion and slight criticism by those who are acquainted more or less with the facts of tbe case. In the dis patches,' reference in particular was made by the commissioner to the Ashevilie division as having the lar gest force of officers in the United States. This may be true, but unless one knows what the Ashevilie revenue division comprises, he may be misled. The AsheriSe district, which is under tbe charge of Jtevenne Agent R. B, Sams one of the most efficient reve nue men' in the eoantry eomprisei not only the western collection dis trict of North Carolina, but also the western collection district : of -. Vir ginia and the First Congressional district of Tennessee.- It will be seen that this district. embraces much of the mountain territory of tbe South' era Appalachian district and abont half of North Carolina and Virginia and at least a tenth of Tennessee.

The seeoilS day of commencement brought forth another lot of treats and pleasures. The gold medal de bate this morning alidted the rapt attention of an interested audience, because ox the timeliness of the sub ject and strength of the debate, "Re solved, That the Federal Government should establish- a system of parcels post with a maximum limit of twelve pounds." Messrs H. M. FaiKart, F. B. Lingle and L R. Crane contended for the justice of the affirmative, Messrs. C W. Misenheimer, C. H. Crane and C E. Linker most severely fought the contentions of their op ponents. It was a battle of brains and argumentive skill in which no one debater bad things according to his own way of thinking, the result of bard study on the part of each de bater. The whole field entrenching itself behind a wall of facts, figures and theories, made the outcome of the debate decidedly doubtful. No soon, er was a plausibility put fonih than tne opposition either exploded the ar gument or. placed another equally strong to counteract. The points were well taken, clearly developed, logically arranged and delivered with force. That the gentlemen composing the committee Rev. J. J. Long, T. A. Moser, Esq., and Prof. 0. D. Ritchie, whose duty, it was to make the decis ion were in a dilemma required no ex pert in fine logic to understand. How ever, having gone over tbe argument carefully in all its minor details, they gave tne benefit of doubts to the af firmative by a small margin, an that Mr. H. M. Faggant was winner of the gold medal because of his irresistible argument. tM&- medals and oratory blend harmoniously. When we think of an orator we instinctively associate him with the elements of the sublime and krtutiful: trlB-tBe raters'- Contest this afternoon these qualities shone forth in brilliant array as the young men representing the graduating elass of tne Collegiate Institute delivered their orations, or graduating addresses at this institution.

Strains of music catch, charm, de light, enrapture everything - that makes one feel life worth living. And well may this sensation have risen to lofty heights when the pleasure of a concert, like unto that presented to night by the young ladies of Mont Amoena Seminary, falls to our lot to enjoy. It was a wise decision that reinstated this exercise on the com mencement programme. The concert tonight was a sweet bit of musical beauty, interpolated with a few choice readings, faultlessly presented.

Their untiring efforts were in evidence on the finish ed programme, and '-gave commence ment a most enjoyable evening. In the rush incident to these oeea- sions,we overlooked in our reports yes terday one of tne most pleating fea tures of the program thus far given, the gorgeous costumes worn in "In- gomar." They .were secured direct from a theatrical eo-tumer in Phila delphia at a princely price, but in their use we were carried back like a fairy tale a thousand yean, seeming ly, into the romance; of Grecian life. The potential power y an idea was emphasized at length, by Dr. Mitchell in his address Monday, and is prac tically exemplified in-the labors of Prof. G. F. McAllister t the Colle giate Institute. Years ago he became enamored of the ides that a school in which merit alone should be the meas ure of success eould be successfully maintained in MU Pleasant on the very spot where failure had been pro nounced a dozen - times, perhaps. Though often met with obstacles ap parently insurmountable, yet he faced them and has won over them all. He has demonstrated that his idea is practical. He haa established a school of merit. The year jtt t closed akes first place in enrollment, attendance, deportment and scholarship. The in stitution today holds a leading posi tion in tbe ranks of the best second ary schools in tbe South. . Among later visitor we-note: Miss OUie Cline-with.

This is at least tbe "lest in the history" of plays for Mt. f feasant.

MX Pleasant never eould play ball on commencement days. Mt. Pleasant, N. O, May 1, 191L Rev. W. H. BaQ to Leave for a Trts to England. Written for The Tribune. - Tbe Reverend W. H. Ball, who wai called to be rector of All Saints' church last March and came into resi- Ldenee the first of April, with the un derstanding that he should be extend ed a "leave of absence" for the pur pose of visiting England thia summer, intends to start on his journey next Monday morning, staying a short time at Charlotte and visiting his old pa rishonera at Monroe where he will be joined by bis daughter, Miss Ball, and her friend, Miss Beatrice Dillon, who will accompany him to England. There they hope to enjoy the festivities of the "Coronation" season. The rec tor hopes to return to Concord for the first Sunday in September. Dur ing his absence the ordinary services of the church will be conducted by his son, Mr. F. H. Ball, who haa been duly licensed by (he Bishop of tbe Dioces. Sunday next services will be as fol lows: Holy communion at 8 a. m. (with the special intention of asking God 's protection over the travelers.) Morning prayer and sermon, 11 a. m. Evensong 8 p. m. Unless other arrangements ean be made this 8 o'clock communion will be the last celebration of the beloved sacrament until tbe rector's return. A Warning to Marauders. There is a great deal of nerve dis played in Concord by a number of youths because of the fact we sup pose that some parents are either too busy or don't care, who go out on all kinds of depredating excursions. If a vacant house is found it is at once entered, glass broken, well, .buokets and pulleys removed; anTny and ev erything else that, is "taxable" is laid hold of. Some members of this gang are known and this notice is served as a warning that some arrests will be made by owners of vacant property in the near future, ai d some parents are going to be surprised at receiving a hurry call to the Record er's court to "put down" for some damages tbeir boys have done. A Curiosity in the Egg Line, Mr. J. W. Faegart, of No. 6 town ship, has a turkey hen that deposits an egg every day between the hours of 12 and 1 p. m. The eggs are all of usual size and color, but are very much out of the ordinary because of two very distinct figures, 1 and 2, which make the number 12. It is ea sily detected, and Mr. Faggart being a Democrat of the very pronounced type, eays that this is a prediction that a Democratic president will be elected in 1912, which all of us hone will come to pass. We shall await the election returns and "see what we see," but if this turkey ben fools us we hope she will go the way of most turkeys on Thanksgiving days. Tbe Ball Game Yesterday. In a game of ball characterized bj the heavy bitting of the Concord team, the locals defeated Mt. Pleasant yes terday 12 to 5. The only feature of the game was the hitting of Sappen- field, who secured two three base bits out of aa many times to the bat Rich mond Reed umpired strikes and June Sapp foul balls. Batteries: Concord. Swaringen and Morris; Mt. Pleasant, Cauble, Dry and Auten. Tbe last Legislature passed an act establishing a school for tbe feeble minded. A number of towns in the State are wanting the school The Greensboro Record says it hopes that they will not establish that kind of school in Greensboro, for they have enough feeble minder', folks there al ready . - With this Bank is helpful not only to men but to every man and woman has any business traosactions. aXXDERSOV OOUXTT FEARS DESTRUCTION BT VOLCANO. Oolvma of Sntoka From Abyss ia 8baking Bald Mountain and 8tranga Mattering Are Heard Within Ito Depths. Hendersonvile, May 15. Is Hen derson County and a great part of western North Carolina to be utterly destroyed by the aroused fury of a slumbering volcano f In 1878, with terrific rumblings and distinct quaking of the solid esrth, Shaking Bald mountain spbt wide, a dense and evil smoke belched from black and bottomless abyss, which threatened to vomit death and de struction upon a smiling countryside, and for miles aroand tbe turbulent giant there was 'no sleep or safety that night. During the night of March 28 Hen derson county wss terror stricken from one end to the other by a series of dreadful rumblings, unlike sny thunder, or explosion, or blast ever heard in this world. Tbe earth trem bled, people tumbled from peaceful home and, feeling the very ground insecure beneath tbeir feet, dazed by tbe awful detonations sounding like some monstrous game of bowis play ey by' the gods with the roof of tbe sky ss their alley, they were terror- stricken end sleepless for many weary hours. This convulsion of Dame Nature was heard and felt from Ashevilie almost to Spartanburg, and no explanation of its esuse has yet been made. True, someone started the "Caeser's Head has fallen" yarn on its forty-seventh anual tnp through the columns of s credulous press, but within the usual time it was recalled, carefully wrap ped in moth balls and now sleeps calmly in the cedar chest awaiting its next journey. On the Saturday folowing this earthquake, if it was an earthquake, Judge C. M. Pace, clerk of the su perior court of Henderson county, ac companied by two . other , reputable citizens, was returning from Saluda, driving through the country.

And now for tha Anal and sondn sive evidence that impella many old people here, recalling their awe-inspiring experience with Shaking Bald mountain away back yonder in 1878, to believe that Henderson county, while enjoying a fancied security on the roof of the world, is really rest ing upon a slumbering volcano. 1 Rumors there are, as yet nn sub stantiated, but ewming apparently from reliable sources, that - thin column of smoke is now ascending from that dreadful abyss in Shaking Bald, that eV range muttering are heard within its infernal depths, and of a feeling of terror amongst the people living within its shadow. . ) If tbe talea told be true, then it is posible the rumblings and trem blings of that black night of March 28 were Shaking Bald's forewarn ings of some dreadful eruption soon to blot out sll life within its grasp.. For what has been may occur again. The old fellow was angry in 1878, evi dently again in 191JU and there is al ways the danger that this time he may not restrain his fury, but, easting aside all bounds, blot out a world f Program Trinity College Oosflmenos- Sunday, Pune 4, 8:30 p. m.
