dustry IN its historical and business light
In the Mississippi mills, the Picayune
this morning takes peculiar pleasure in
deyOting a proper space TO those of
sister state.
The earliest efforts to establish such
an enterprise in Mississippi seems to
have been at NatcheZ, in 1888, which, for
some reason unknown to this writer,
proved a short and Improbable under
taking. and the record is too dim to be
reckoncd as the true foundation for this
industry in Mississippi
In 1850 the census records show two
establishments engaged IN cotton manu-
featuring In Mississippi, Involving SIS
900 capital employing SO hands, and
using $4,000 of raw material, and turn
ing out manufactured product worth
| $4,000.
THE FIRST MILL.
These mills are not designated by name
or locality but one of them was unques
tionably the pioneer and the true founda-
| ton Of this industry In that state. This
was the original Wesson Mil, at Banks
| ton, Choctaw county, established by Col
| onel ]. NJ Wesson, In 1S4S, which was
| about twenty miles east of Winona and
| about the same distance north Of hoSci-
| usko.
| Colonel Wesson, whose fife and charac-
| ter are presented ut length elsewhere
| IN this connection, came no Choetaw
| county in 1S47 from Columbus, Ga, and
| formed stock company, Of which he
| was president, to build cotton and
wooden mill. He located Il on McCurtin
creek, and called 1t Bankston, which In
later years became place Of consider
| able note, and many old MsSisSlppians
| recall their visits 10 this n}ill when they
| were boys and were carried there with
their fathers, who carried cotton there
for sale and exchange for cloth. His first
work was, Of course, strictly pioneer
| development, as 1t Is understood to have
been poor and unsettled section. He
had to bulld a saw mill to get lumber
to erect the mill and the tenement houses
for the operatives.
1t was truly the deed OF a pioneer hero
as the plant had to be buiided from the
bottom, and the machinery purchased IL
New England and shipped by water anC
up the YaZoo river to Greenwood anC
hauled by teams from there to the future
| site OF the new town, Bankston, which
was sixty-fve miles nearly due east
| The Information Is that considerable
| distance was through the Yazoo river
bottom, and that he had 10 build many
bridges, as the machinery was bulky aul

and no person Of whom / made inquiries
could or would give me any information
about it. Just after 1850 there were
prominent mills built In Mississippi.
THE THIRD MILL.
The next mill to be considered histor-
lcally is that OF Judge Edward McGehce.
of Woodvllle, Wilkinson county, which
was built in 1851 as a stock company.
Mr.. Scott McGehee, now secretary OF the
Southern Insurance Company, of New Or
leans, has contributed the following his
tory of this mill. OF course, It is from
memory, but 10 acceptable to preserve
the historical side of the industry:
The factory was erected In 1851 1t
was a four-story brick structure, with
100 looms, and Its cost was somewhat
over 100000 At the inception of the
enterprise 1t was a stock company, the
stock being subscribed for by my father
and other planters of Wilkinson county,
Miss. After operating It for two or

profitable, owing In part 70 the - ssrt

stock holders became rired and wlsheu
to abandon the whole AFFAIR, waSeupSs
my father suggested that ne wSulu III
be allowed 20 pay 10 per cent Of II per
annum to each stockholder In the manu-
featured product Of the mill at the mar
ket price.
This was readily accepted and the own
ership passed into his hands, whereupon
he at once began to substitute neeLo
labor from his own plantations ior tne
white labor, which had been the cause Oh
so much trouble.
This was done by selecting the brightest
and smartest Of the negro children. Nuo
became efficient In the course OF Two
or three years as the best OF white IaoVL.
The factory prospered and the stock
holders were all paid In full. and when
the writer was called from school 70
take charge Of the clerical part OF the
work In 1SG0, he found 1t making money
rapidly, with q full force Of slave oper-
atives.
During 1861 and 1852, and up to the
summer OF 1863 the mill was operated
under great difficulties. and by agree
ment with the confederate government
one-half of the production went TO supply
the army. the other portion TO the eoun-
try people, who used to come hundreds
OF miles TO get supplies.
The federals ralded the country In the
summer Of 1863, and upon the refusal OF
my father to promise not 90 supply the
Confederate soldiers with clothing, they
burned the mill to the ground"
THE FOURTH MILL.
The fourth mill in Mississippi to be con-
sidered in this historical sketch is that of
J. & T. Green, OF Jackson, which was
also destroyed By the federal army In
1868.
Mr. J. J. Green, OF Shreveport, La,
submits the following brief history of
this mill:
The Pearl River Mills Cotton aud
wooden factory at Jackson. Miss, was
built by J. & T. Green, bankers there,
about 1887, and was burned by General
W. Il. sherman in 1868. No one now
living knows the amount of capital 1t
used, but 1t was very large for q 4Oloom
plant, because the prejudice OF home PEG
pie for home things prevented Missis-
sippi planters from buying the product.
After every warehouse in town was filled
with Its goods, unstable at home, the
The leader., 1900-04-25

owners shipped the goods 10 New Or,
leans, had them unpaeked. a fancy brand
indicating foreign manufacture put on,
goods rebaled and speedily sold through
commission merchants. When this was
discovered the prejudice subsidized and
the factory was highly prosperous when
the civil war began"
Thus is told the sad story of Missis-
slPpis pioneer cotton factories at Bank
ston, Woodyille and two at Jackson, all
being destroyed py an enemy's torch
nearly at the same time, leaving the art
and infant fortunes Of spinning and
weaving cotton an almost extinct inter
est in Mississippi lingering sadly In the
memory Of those whose enterprise and
money had developed them to such hap
py state. No informal ton which Is now
obtainabe can fix the value of these
plants, nor aggregate the product at the
time OF destruction, but the records of
the census of 1860 are the only sources
for approximate correct data.
The census returns for 1850 show four
cotton factories in Mississippi, with a
combined capital of 100000, employing
DO operatives, who received S36. 264 for
wages, using $40, 500 worth OF raw mate
rial and turning out Sl7G,32S worth Of
manufactured product
The records do not disclose the location
of these mills. but as we know there
were four in the state at that time, the
McGehee mill at WoOdvile, the Wesson
mill a Bank stOn. the Green mill at Jack
son and the state mill in the penitentiary
at Jackson, It will be logical to conclude
that these four mills referred to in the
above, and thus their average capital
would only be slightly over 500, 900 each.
The raw material was worked until it
was worth more than double in value.
At that date the industry in the United
States was in its infancy. for the capital
involved was only $9S. 3S5, 800, Massachu-
sets then having $33 600 900, while now
1t has $40. O0O, 900 capital Invested in the

Colonel Wesson began to turn his life to
his first love. and in 1886 he organized a
company which was located at the now
famous town OF Wesson. This was
quickly followed in 1868 by another com.
pany, under the organizing influence OF
Mr.. Brooks. which located at Stonewall
aud in 1871 the third and In 1873 the
fourth mill companies were brought Into
existence at Ndtchez
