A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervaling days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke, as if the Day OF F ire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust OF our readers,
that the full effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla
is such as to suggest the propriety of call
ing this medicine something besides a
blood purifier and tonic,-say, a sustain
ing diet. 1t makes it much easier to bear
the heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much sick
ness at this time of year.

FOREIGN WHEAT CROP.

press in its weekly crop review today
says IL is doubtful IL the recent rains
will effect great transformation" in
the wheat crop of England. 1t thinks
the yield may reach an average OF 2SA
bushels per acre.
The Express considers that the en-.
hanced price and big weekly market In
Paris furnishes evidence that the
French farmers consider the govern
ment estimate as being quite 10 per
cent. too high. The agricultural press
puts the yield at 35.00O,O00 quarters.
100000 quarters below the govern.
ment estimate.
Spain Is reaping a magnificent harry.

The Italian harvest promises to

ian harvest is estimated at 5000, ,000
quarters. leaving 1900. 900 available for

The spring wheat crop In Russia Is
less promising. In several provinces
the winter wheat crop. however, is
splendid, according TO the moderate
standard prevailing. Their rye Will
make an excellent harvest. The other
autumn sown crops are all above the
average. but the spring barley and oats

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
NOTES OF PAST AND CURRENT EVENTS.
Mcoomb CITY Cotton MIN.
BY ]. L. POWER.

II is less than two years since the
McComb City Cotton Mill was charter
ed. II has been IN full operation since
the first OF May, last We visited the
mill recently, and came away thorough
ly delighted with all that we saw Of
this up-todate manufacturing plant.
The buildings were erected by w. j..
MCGEE. of Jackson. of whom the super
intendent said he not only gave perfect
satisfaction, but did much without
extra charge, that specifications did not
call for. This is noted, because II is
unusual. The main building Is $50 by
rs feet, brick, and as nearly fireproof
as such a structure can be-the in
surance being only one.fifth of one per
cent. There are 5000 spindles. $50
looms. powerful engines and boilers
all the machinery being the latest and
best. The only goods manufactured is
print cloth. This is all shipped to New
York in carload lots, and orders are
filed away ahead for all that the mill
can produce. The product is about 5000
yards per day. The mill was so con-
structed, and the machinery with a
view to doubling its capacity, and this
is already being considered.
The print cloth is 3Sla inches wide,
there being SIS yards to the pound OF
cotton. Some of the weavers make 240
yards per day, operating six looms,
and this pays them s720 per week.
There are 110 on the pay roll. which
is cashed weekly. The working hours
are from a. m. to 6 p. M, with
40 minutes for dinner. The plant cost
about s150.000. Nearly all the stock
was taken in Pike county, and most of
1t in McComb City. Capt. J. j. White
was the leading spirit in the establish
ment of the mill, and is at the head
CT other great industries all through
that section. His son, ]. ]. White, Jr.,
is superintendent, cashier and book
keeper. He graduated at our State
University two years ago; went from
Oxford into a big mill at Gastonia.
North Carolina, and worked for two
years, his compensation being the ex-
perience that he acquired. He seems
to be "at home" in every department
of the mill, and has a foreman, or
manager, in each, who thoroughly un.
derstands the business. We hope the
good work of erecting cotton mills will
continue until we have sufn
cient number to manufacture every
pound of cotton raised in the State
Mr.. White assured us that the McComb
City mill was a money-maker from the
start.
