Long, Both performances indicate that Chautauqua this year will he even more successful from ev? ery point of view than last year, when all who attended pronounced it a great success. The exercises were opened on Wed? nesday afternoon with prayer by the Itev. W. E. Thayer of the First Bap? tist Church, after which Supt. S .H. Edmunds, as chairman of the board of directors of the Young Men's Chris? tian Association, which organization secured the Chautauqua for Sumter, made the announcement that it was hoped that Chautauqua would be sccessful as a means of uplift in Sum? ter, as it was intended to be. He then introduced Mr. John F. Chambers, the superintendent of the Chautauqua to the audience. Mr. Chambers announced that tele? phone service would be made with the grounds and requested that persons expecting any calls during the per? formances register and secure a num? ber, so that when that number was displayed they would know that they were wanted and could leave the aud? ience without any confusion. He stated that no announcements would be made from the platform during the performances. Before retiring. Mr. Chambers presented Mr. Sylvester A. Ixmg, the lecturer of the evening. Mr. Long made a very brief talk, telling of the various numbers on the Chau? tauqua progrum and praising the nu? merous lecturers and other perform? ers.

The Music Makers Quartette held the undivided attention and pleased the audience for the next hour. The quartette offerings were of a high or? der and the encores after every selec? tion Indicated the delight of the aud? ience. The music on the Marimba phone seemed especially to please, and again and again the performers were' called on. The solos also proved ex? ceedingly popular and the individual singers were encored as heartily as was the full quartette. The selections covered a wide variety of subjects, comic numbers being interspersed among tho moro serious songs, all making palpable hits. Afternoon and evening the performance of the quar? tette was heard With delight by large audiences. Mr. Sylvester A. Bong dealt with the humorous, tho comical, the path? etic and ambitious sides of life last night In his delightful lecture "Hun? gry People." libs main theme was upbuilding through earnest Striving for the better things of life, which our natures desire. "There is an unsatis? fied longing in every man or woman for something," the speaker said, "an ideal w hich is higher and better than that we have.'' Mr. Long's illustrations were apt and witty and he kept his audience in an excellent humor throughout his lecturo of more than an hour. Im? proved himself a most entertaining peakor and a man lull of the knowl? edge Of the sunshine and the shadows) i of life. Applause was liberally given throughout the lecture and Its close.

Lanford affirmed that the best way to get delegates for a town? ship, convention is to go after them, and not depend upon written invita? tions. All agreed that the most del? icate question which Sunday school work has to face is the financial Issue. S. F. Cannon told something of the work in Spartanburg and the methods which produced the success which that county has achieved. The third feature of the afternoon was a reception which was tendered to the delegates and visitors by the ladies of Newberry at the home of Mayor Wright.

The audience rose and gave hearty applause. The gov? ernor's theme was "The Sunday I School and Good Cltlsenshlp." "The State administration Is hearti? ly in favor of the work which you arc I doing," said the governor. "As a boy I was, by circumstances, denied the privilege of attending a Sunday school such as you foster, but my Sunday school was at my sainted mother's knee." Obv. Manning referred lo the differ? ence iu environment between this oc? casion and the last time he had ad? dressed a Newberry audience. "This." said he, "is so much more pacific." ? it warms my heari to see this great gathering of workers from all parts of our State, whose purpose is to car? ry forward this Sunday school move? ment. The importance of the Hun day school can not he overestimated. ! wish to bid you godspeed in the irreal work which you are doing."
