RANG THE CHURCH BELL.
And Sent in Order From Pew Twenty
One.

A belated tourist from Florida says
that II Is almost impossible to under
stand how great was the rush OF Wis
itors al the height OF the season. He
SAYS that a man came n day to n
OF the big hotels and was told that
there was not room for him In the
house, but n place to sleep would be
made up for him in the memorial
chapel on the hotel grounds. He said
that would suit him all right. BY bed
time he had all that was coming to
him In the way Of unsolicited refresh
ments. When he woke up In the morn
ing he looked for a push button, and
finding none he wandered out into the
vestibule. There he saw the bell rope
and tolled the bell until a man opened
the door and asked him what was the
matter.
Bring me a cocktail and a siphon
Of carbonic, and be quick about It,
said the guest, and charge 1t to Pew

CatchingS for Governor.

Under the above heading, the Boil
ivar County Democrat of last Satur-
day copies the Meridian Stars en-
d0rsement of The Posts suggestion
of General Thomas G.. Catchings, of
Vicksburg, for Governor. It also
copies another second of the mo-
tion'' from the Biloxi Herald. The
ROsedale paper then joins in the
Catchings movement, with the fol-
lowing kind and complimentary
words:
1.-THE Democratic heartily endorses
all that is said in the above. Gen.
Catchings is truly one of the biggest
men in the state, and would make n
most excellent governor. Should he
enter the race. he would command a
large following in the delta as well
as throughout the State"
It Is interesting to contemplate the
conditions that would prevail if a
man like Catchings filed the office
of Chief Executive of Mississippi.
For instance. If Catchings were
governor, Edgar S. Wilson (the Re-
publican Referee) would not be the
governor.
AS CatchingS owns no plantations.
and as he Is an honest man, he would
not buy hay and corn from the state
Penitentiary tarm at less than the
market prices.
He would not appoint forger to
an important office.
He would give no encouragement
to ballot-box suffers and perpetra-
tors of primary election frauds.
He would kick from his presence.
lynchers and advocates of lynch
law, and he would give no official
recognition TO champions of lynch
law.
If Catchings were governor now,
the cotton insurance question would
be settled, in the right manner, In
short order.
| AS the Biloxi Herald well says, .'he
would be governor of the John M.
Stone order. r."-Vicksburg Post.

THE SUBURBAN STREETS.

To the Editor of the Progress.
In yesterdays issue of your paper
you spoke of paving the streets.
Don't you think that such an issue
now is premature, if not grossly
unjust to residents and owners of
suburban property where the streets
have not even been opened yet by
the city authorities? Don'tyou think
that suburban residents, who are
taxed by the city for sewers, water,
street lighting, policing, etc., and
who enjoy none of these blessings,
are entitled to have the streets lead
ing through their property and to
their homes at least opened, before
calling OH them to pay for paving the
streets IN town?
/ pay taxes on several thousand
dollars worth of property, and yet
the street in front of my house on
the east - Thompson streets and
Canora street on the south have
never been opened by the city. The
logs, stumps and trees are still in the
streets and one has to wind around |
them to get along; and they are
much troubled too. / have been try
ing for three years to get those
streets opened but to no purpose.
HoS long is this to continue? If |
those streets had been opened and |
graded two years ago many houses
would have been built on them and |
occupied, and the revenue derived |
from the increased value of the prop |
erty would have paid many times
over, the expense of opening and |
grading them.
l want to say now for myself land |
I speak for oter suburban owners of
property that l will not support any
man for mayor or for alderman who
does not pledge him self to do simple
Justice to the owners of suburban
property. Respectfully,
w. H. HARDY.

Coming South.

The announcement that the great
Merrimac Company, of Lowell,
Mass, will erect plant at Hunts
vile, Ala, expending thereon 81 $780,
600, is pleasing intelligence not alone
to the progressive citizens of that en-
terprising city, but to all Alabam-
ians. The MerrImac Company Is
coming to Alabama for the reason
that it can manufacture cotton goods
cheaper than in Massachusetts,. This
undeniable fact is drawing the East
ern cotton mill owners to the south
with a rapldity truly marvellous.
In the past three months the in
vestmentS in new cotton mills in the
south have amounted to more than
&c, 100000. The south now consumes
nearly half of the the cotton crop.
In few years it will consume prac-
tically all of it.
In recent address to the Cotton
Spinners of New England, Mr.. o. p.
Austin, chief of the bureau of statis-
tics, Treasury Department, showed
clearly the tendency of cotton mills
to seek the cotton-producing country.
The logical conclusion of the facts
and figures presented by Mr.. Austin
is that the cotton mills must come
south. 1t is just as Irrational that
the east should manufacture cotton
as that Europe should do so.
The natural home and final destiny
of the cotton mill is the south, where
rs per cent of the cotton of the world
is grown. The removal of the
Merrimac Company is to be welcom-
ed as one more evidence of the
assured supremacy of the south in
the near future in the textile INDUS
tries.-BIrmingham News.

The State Funds Are at a Low Ebb
and the
EXPENSE OF ERECTING THE CAPITOL
Has Been Heavy Drain on the
Finances.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Oct. 9.-With outstanding
obligations to be met next month
amounting to over half million dol
lars, and only 100000 now in the
vaults of the treasury, it will be nee
essary for the state of Mississippi to
make an issue of bonds within the
next thirty days, and it is probable
that the first issue will exceed
$250,OOO.
The state funds have been at a low
ebb for the past three months, owing
to the fact that the tax payments for
the fiscal year have nearly all been
made, and the expense of erecting
the new state house has been
heavy drain on the finances. Thus
far the structure, which is rapidly
nearing completion, has been erected
without the issuance of a single
bond, although the legislature
authorized a million dollar issue, but
the state officials wisely deemed it
best to use the general fund of the
treasury to the limit, and thus save
a goodly sum in interest and also re-
duco the maximum of the issue.
In November the treasury will be
commpelled to pay out 100000 for
state pensions, $685. 900 for the Chick
asaw school fund, and about $3.50, 700
for the current expenses of govern
ment. The last legislature authorlz-
ed the use of the state house bond
issue for the general fund, and the
bonds will run for a period of thirty
years and bear interest at four per
cent.

THE PROGRESS PROGRESSING.
October 8, 1902.

The Progress has inaugurated
typesetting machine and hereafter
all the type for the paper will be set
by this machine. It Is a wonderful
piece of mechanism and does its
work withgreat precision and faithful
ness. 1t has no brain, but the office
devil has and the two will give the
public fine paper.
There is one or two things in par
ticular that is to the credit to this
machine and points that would be
piously considered very favorably
by gentleman on the coast, an old
newspaper man, known throughout
the state as the immortal "P. K.,n
and that is that the machine will not
get drunk or go out on a strike on
the fiimsy excuse that the last
months salary was not paid. P. K.
should have two of them and an
other to write the editorials for the
paper. This machine will set the
type as fast as the human mind and
fingers can work. Everything as to
speed depends upon the operator. If
he can so perform the work OF setting
-one thousand per hour the machine
will do its duty, or it would go up as
high as seven or eight thousand an
hour. OF course it has a limit but
the limit Will never be reached by the
manipulation of the keys by human
fingers Or by the mind of man. AM
other machine will have to be made
for that purpose.
AS soon as the machine gets in
working order and the printers be-
come familiar with it it is the inten-
btOll VI 6ilC management VI biG Il rug
ress to enlarge the paper and give its
readers more reading matter. This
will be done within the next week or
two. The fact is that the Progress is
so crowded with advertisements now
that it has but little room for read
ing matter, but this will soon be
changed and the paper will put on
metropolitan style. The paper also
wishes TO state here that 1t has
adopted the cash-In- advance system
as relates to subscriptions aud viii
state that hereafter the man who
reads this paper will either pay for
it IN advanse, borrow or steal it. III
we had but one subscriber and that
subscriber became DELINQUENT we
would cut off his name and send ii

short it takes money TO run news

MIDWAY AT THE BAZAAR.
Meeting of Executive Committee of
HuSsars Club Last Night.

A meeting of the Executive Commit
tee Of the Hussars Club was held last
night in the club rooms. Several mem
bers of the committee were present,
and considerable business was. trans
acted. The report of the treasurer
showed that the finances of the club
are in a very healthy condition.
The bazaar, which will be held in
February, was discussed at length.
The committees appointed to solicit
donations from the merchants of the
city reported gratifying progress. 1t
was decided to have a midway at the
bazaar. This feature of the entertain
ment, conducted along the line which
the promoters of the affair have in
mind, will, it is thought. prove a great
success.
The proposed midway WILL neces-
sarily,l be run on small scale. The
armory yard will be used for the pur-
pose. Members of the club will fur
nish the amusement in the roles of
spoilers, snake-eaters, rubber-neck
men and other freaks usually found on
the streets Of Cairo" The commit
tees which have the bazaar in hand
have worked industriously for several
weeks past. They have been aided ma
terially by several ladies, and it is
thought that the affair will be a sue
ceSSful one
