TO HAVE QUARTERS
At ST. CHARLES
Hattiesburg's Delegates To Waterway
Convention Will Be Entertain
ed There.

Hattiesburg's delegates to the Lakes
to the Gulf Deep Waterway conven-
ton. which opens in New Orleans on
October 30 for a four days session,

ments to this effect having been com
pleted by Mr.. II. A. Camp, of this
city, acting for the local delegates.
during a business trip made to the
Crescent City yesterday.
Mr.. Camp had great difficulty in
procuring rooms for the local dele
gates, owing to the fact that nearly
all the rooms in the New Orleans no.
tells had been already previously en-
gagged for the convention dates. He
found that a month ago the Business
Mems League of New Orleans had en-
gagged 200 rooms at the Grunewald,
100 at the st. Charles and 80 at the
Monte Leone.
In a circular letter to delegates, sent
out by President Kavanaugh, of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway AS
ISOLATION, it is stated that delegates
who have not received badges from
the chairman of their delegation can
get them on application at the head
quarters of the association in the
Athenaeum, where the convention will
be held. The convention opens at
10 o'clock Saturday morning, Oct. 80
and will be addressed by Presidnt

to be followed by Clifford Pinchot, the
