CANE PRODUCTION
This Said to Be the Finest Section
For Its Growth.

The fact has been fully demonstra-
ted for the past few years that Perry
county is the best section in the state
for the cultivation Of sugar cane and
the production Of syrup. Since this
is the fact it would appear to the
Progress that as Hattiesburg is we'll
located, being situated on four rail
roads, it would be the most available
place for a sugar refinery where crops
Of cane for miles around could be
made into mOlasses and the sugar re-
fined 1t is stated by those who pro-
fess to know that the molasses made
from cane grown in this section is the
best grown i'll the world-much bet
ter than that grown in Louisiana
and with the proper cultivation and a
little fertilizer the yield would be
just as great. With these facts before
us it would seem that some one would
be instrumental in getting a mill on
large scale and encourage the rails
ing of cane.

MEMBERS OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Who Have Been Mentioned for the
Honor Decline to Discuss 1t.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Nov 22.-The news of the
Episcopal clergy in Mississippi mani
tests a decided reluctance against dis
cussing the probable successor of
Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson as
head of the diocese, and the indica-
tiOrs are that the contest for the
place when the diocesan council meets
in Jackson six weeks hence will be
quite lively.
The names heretofore suggested in
connection with the place are Rev. 2.
G. Seas. of Meridian; DR.. George G.
Harris, of Vicksburg, and DIR. Bev-
erly Warner, of New Orleans. 1t is
now stated that the names of DR.. Muir
ray of Birmingham and Dr. Arthur
Boyd of New York, are likely to DO
placed in nomination. DIR. Murray
was one of the principal contestants
for bishop of Alabama, filled short
time since by the election of Rev.
George Beckwith of Texas.
A member of the Episcopal clegy
from one of the most prominent par
ishes in the state, and who has been
leader i'll Episcopal affairs for some
time, states that it is impossible to
hazard even a vague prediction con-
cerning the new bishop, and that il
is often the case that vacancy is
filled by the election of some priest
who was not even thought of within
few days prior to the meeting of
the council.
The friends of the clergymen who
have been mentioned for the honor
declines to discuss the subject at pres
ent, owing to the fear that publicity
might cripple the chances of their
favOrites. For this reason it Is not
believed that the matter will be pub
licly agitated to any extent until
within few days of the meeting OF
the council on the 10th of January.
1t is almost a certainty that number
complimentary votes will be cast in
the first ballots.
The election of bishop is first made
by the clergy, and the nominee then
submitted to the lay delegates attend
ing the council meeting. In case the
nomination is ratified the bishop is
then declared elected, and a date
named for his conservation.

In His Communication to Congress
Part of the Message
IS ALREADY IN WRITING.
Every Member of Congress Has a
Different Opinion.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2l.-On
returning to Washington this morn
ing, after his hunting trip in Missis-
sippi, President Roosevelt consulted
his cabinet on some of the matters TO
be treated by him in his next annual
message, which must be ready for the
printer within week. He has most
of his subject we'll in hand, and part
of the message is already in writing,
but his conclusions on the trust and
tariff questions, it is said, will not be
ready until the last.
Every senator or representative call
ing at the white house has an opinion
as to what the administration ought
to do with those two great issues,
and they are Offering all kinds of ad-
vice There is cOt"rie, headed by
Mr.. BabcOck, of Wisconsin, who in
sists upon something being done at
once in the way of revision. On the
other hand, such influential senators
as Lodge and Burrows are advocating
delay for fear of disbuTsing business.
The president, therefore, listening to
both sides, finds il difficult to choose
the proper course. There is a strong
probability that he will take middle
ground and recommend the appoint
ment of atarif commission, to make
thorough inquiry into the situation.
Since the Oyster Bay conference
last summer between the president
and prominent senators there has been
a growing tendency in influential leg
islative quarters to look with favor
upon tariff inquiry.
Curiously enough, the reasons as
signed by the two tariff factions for
favoring the inquiry apparently are
contradictory. The ultra protection
lists are for it because they see in it a
postponement of the day when the
tariff is to be touched by the hand of
the pruner; the revisionists are for it,
because they see in it the first step
toward ultimate revision. The tug of
war will come in the effort TO carry
out the report of the commission. In
the meantime, the campaign in behalf
of revision will be pushed to the ut
most by the republicans, who believe
that in such action rests the future
welfare of the republican party, as a
political organization.
Since he has become a candidate
for speaker of the next house, Mr..
Cannon has beer skillfully parrying on
all questions as to his position on the
tariff question. An interview with
him during last August, before
Speaker Henderson gave any intima-
tion of his retirement from congress
has been resurrected, which shows
that at that time Mr.. Cannon did
not believe that the tariff schedules
were sacred, although he admitted
that revision might prove demoraliz-
ing to business.
1.-The tariff, said he at that time,
will be revived some time, but not
at the next session of congress or by
the succeeding congress, unless there
is check to the present prosperity.
The people of Illinois, so far as
have been able to learn, are not anx.
