The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1869-09-09

Editor Clarion: a few days ago had oc-
casion TO 90 out west from Shuqulak on the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad. and TO cross over
the mountains (asic juvat transeenden
minteE.-) The first point OF interest that
attracted my attention was summerFiilc IN
stitute, situated eleven miles from the Rail-
road. Il is located in that romantic region
of lofty hills and pure water. known as the
mountains / found the Principal at home
preparIng for a large class in the fall. Per
hans no Institution in the state has, for so
Iong a time, maintained Itself About fi-
teen hundred Y oung men during the last
sixteen wears. have attended upon the In
structions ofthis school. Among that num-
Der are found the names OF some OF the most
promising young men Of our time.
About seven miles west OF Summertime
came upon the Hashuqua Cotton Mills stu
ated in the most obscure pOiut Ia NoNubee
county. The main building Is 200 feet long
so feet wide, and two stories high- About
I.5OO spindles are in operation. only TWEEN
tv looms are running, but machinist is
busily engaged starting more. and IN TWO
months sixty looms Will be In operation.
The Company was organized about Two
wears AGO with Capt. John &. Holmes. OF
Winston county. as President. and Mr.. Geo
Askew. as Secretary. About seventy thou
sand dollars have been subscribed and payed
i'm. The Company do not owe one dollar
and their houses for operatives. boarding
house. store house. etc. are completed. Inc
machinery T. of the most improved English
manufacture, and driven by Mater-Mheel
which L. a great advance In that line. There
is water-house with lO1S feet of water
and this wheel is mt the bottom, ont of sight
and does not ripple the surface. The water
runs out through the wheel, and has the APP
pearance, in emerging, OF large spring
No spray. no foam, and comparatively no
noise is made Parties can hear each other
converse in an ordinary tone of voice three
feet from the wheel. IL Is called the Leiiel
wheel, and parties interested can address
Capt. Holmes at Fearn Springs. Miss. THIS
manufacturing company besides owing
nothing, have on hand an assorted stock of
general merchandise, about 1900 los of
yarns. and twenty bales of cotton. and
money sufficient for all present purposes.
( They have also a large amount Of % shifting
on hand. which they are offering o. the trade
at ID cents per yard. capt. Holmes Is GER
tainly one of the most systematic business
men Of the day. but seems To shrink from
public notoriety. No factory has ever been
started on scale as cheap as this, and no
one promises such ample returns. Capt.
! Holmes will no doubt be veXed az your cor
respondent for yentilating the llashuqua
Manufacturing Company, for he SAYS he
don't wish TO get into the papers until the
day of assured success, which this depOncut
AYERS is at hand.
Corn crops through all this section b.
light. Cotton j. fully two weeks behind,
but Is bearing well. The worm has appear
ed, but not generally. and you may set down
the yield equal 10 last year, acre for acre.
There j. more breadth OF land in cotton this
year, and we may Say that there will be 10
per cent more ofthc staple made. This viii
make the present crop 2-69500O bales. There
is deficit now OF American cottons, COM
pared with last year, of 100000 bales. Sub
tract this, and there Is left for the present
crop, 2,29jO00 bales. Let the planter be
confident on the score of price.
The course Of The CLARION is approved.
What can the Port Gibson Standard, the
Holly Springs Reporter, and other opposi-
tion papers hope 10 accomplish They
would prefer To see Democrats cleetcd-so
would you. The great bulk Of the white
men Of the country propose to meet the in
augural of Gen. Grant, and reconstruct the
State through the Moderate Republicans {;
and every Democrat that advises otherwise,
votes for the Bitter Finders.
