Editor Daily News.


Hattiesburg should be congratulated
upon the opening of her Chautauqua
on the court house grounds last night
and If the enthusiastic audience and
superb attractions of that first even
ing are significant, and they are, we
may reasonably conclude that Mr..
Todd will more than sustain his rec
ord as Chautauqua director, and at
the termination of this part of ten
days of music, laughter and literature
Hattiesburg will again have demon
strated her ability in all her plans.
Our city, during a few short years
has attained position second to none
as a commercial center in Mississippi,
is rapidly increasing in population and
wealth. She has made this progress
not merely because of her great tim.
Der industries though she has those
not merely because she has railroad
facilities though she has the best in
the State, but the greatest factor in
her material development finds ex
preston in the fact that her citizen
ship is made up of men and womer
who do things, men and women who
have come not only from almost ever,
hamlet in our own state, and represen
the highest type of life in those com
munities, but who have come from

London, July 1S.-Mark Twain left
London this morning, going by rail to
Tilbury, where he boarded the steam
er Minnetonka sailing this afternoon
for the United States.
Mr.. Twain was given a royal fare
we'll at the London station and the
docks by party Of Americans, and
many members Of the British royalty
accompanied him to Tilbury.
The reception which Mark Twain
has received in England is perhaps
unprecedented He was wined and
dined by the nobility and presented
at every public function during his
stay in the metropolis, until he be
came tired of such attention and re
fused to accept further courtesies.
The distinguished author expressed
pleasure that he was soon to be a
home with his own people.

STRONG APPEAL
FOR CHAU7.AUQLLA

the other Southern States, from the
North and from other countries. 1t
is through this composite force that
she has become known as a city
whose dollars circulate so rapidly that
they present the lustre of perpetual
newness. With such citizenship and
such unparalleled prosperity it is but
fitting that our commercialism should
have that softening and refining i'm
press of music, literature and art. That
we should occasionally forget the sor-
did dollar and be waited out into an
atmosphere of realism. 1t is the pur-
pose of Chautauquas to accomplish
just that.
And am sure that the enthusiast
tic audience that had the pleasure
of hearing the music and humor and
above all that master, Frederick
Warde, in his great lecture last night
had convincing evidence that Chau
tauaua courses have found a definite
abiding place in Hattiesburg's growth
In conclusion let me urge the people
of our city to lend this enterprise theil
hearty cooperation and support; tina
the work so we'll begun may not b.
merely success--it will be that, Blu
rather let us help them to make 1t ;
brilliant success A success in whicl
we shall all have part.
