SOUTHERN ENTERPRISES.
Live Town and Largest Cotton
Planter in the World.

A correspondent of the Louisville
(Ky.) Courier journal gives an inter
esting description of visit to Wesson,
a new cotton manufacturing town in
Mississippi, on the New Orleans and
Chicago railroad, l25 miles due north
of New Orleans, and in the center Of a
fine cotton growing country In 1867
the site of Wesson was a dense pine
forest; now are seen a magnificent pile
Of buildings, three and four stories
high, capped with Mansard roofs aud
modern windows, commodious-Tare-
house, dozen stores, elegant modern
villas, and fine hotel building.
The cotton factory buildings
and machinery, which cost
100000, are owned by Messrs.
Edward Richardson and VIM. Oliver.
Mr.. richardson is a member of the
firm of Richardson & May, cotton fac
tors, of New Orleans, owns ten or
twelve cotton plantations, and makes
on them annually $4,000 to $4,000 bales
of cotton. Mr.. Richardson is the
largest cotton planter in the world,
and is the cotton king Of America.
He has worked hard all his life, and
is still working, He is popular with
the masses, and especially SO with his
colored laborers. lie is generally be-
lieved to have accumulated from $15,
100000 to 10000, 900, all made in the
south, the poor south. Eight hun
dred hands are employed at the fac
tories three-lourths Of whom are
women, gathered from the surround
ing country, good, faithful, industri-
GUS and Intelligent. The remaining
fourth are men and boys gathered
from various places, a few from
the north and few from England and
Scotland. who work 400 looms and
$4,000 spindles. In cotton these mills
consume daily from Is to 20 bales, be-
sides an enormous quantity OF wool,
obtained mostly from the Florida
parishes of Louisiana on Lake Pont-
chartrain. The prices of the products
of these mills are kept down to rock
bottom, and these mills being situated
in the southern cotton belt and in the
wool producing districts, and no
freights to pay on cotton, their facili.
ties for buying the raw material are
without doubt unsurpassed, and they
can thus undersell all others. Their
savings in freight, having to pay none
at all, Iamount to seven or eight dol
lars per bale. These goods find a
ready sale in all the large cities. The
mills are now running day and night,
using the British electric
lights, making the building as
bright as day. The night bands
are separate and distinct from those
that work in the day. All hands
work hamoniously together. There
has never been a strike nor any threats
of such a thing. There is no colored
labor employed, except five men as
fremen. This labor cannot be util-
lied to manage the looms and spindles.
The monotOnogs bpmming and dron-
ing Of the machinery, il is claimed,
would invariably soothe the negro TO
sleep, and let the looms run wild and
the spindles foul. Hence he is not
considered available as a laborer in
cotton factories. Wesson is a very
thriving town, and its population Or
derly and temperate, There is not a
grog-shop in town.
