Entire Matter to Be Discussed by
 Chautauqua.
 Buffalo, N. Y.. Aug. 1o.-This week at the Chautauqua assembly, will be given over to discussion of the apparent rise of the mob spirit in America All phases of the subject, such as feuds. race riots, lynchings and strikes. will be treated.
 Today the mountain feuds were taken up. Dr. ". c. Frost, president of Beres College in the mountains of Kentucky, was tho chief speaker.
 The absence of restraint. he said, was the sole cause of the feud. The noun taineers of Appalachian America, he ex- plained.. were the descendants of colo nials. not to be confused with poor whites They were Southerners who owned land, but not slaves and who were loyal to the lag in the Civil War.
 .The feud area" he said, 'has greatly contracted, in recent times. Many kill- ings caused by whiskey or sudden anger chased by newspapers with feud mpr- ders. Such is not true.
 ''The case in Breathitt County is a poift- ica1 one, an outbreak unusual and hot Co be classed with ordinary feuds. As the death of Hamilton was the occasion of a great sermon by Dr. Knott, which practically ended the duel In America. sc we may hope the storm of opposition aroused by the death of Marcum may bring us near the end of political assas- sinations in Kentucky"
 The cure for the. feud. said Dr. Frost was education.
 Tomorrow lynching problems and race troubles in the South will be discussed The final speaker will be John Temple Graves of Atlanta, Ga.
