McComb City Cotton MIL.
BY !, L. POWER.


1t is less than two years since the
McComb City Cotton Mill was charter,
ed. 1t 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 1t is
unusual. The main building is 25O by
rs feet, brick, and as nearlRfreproof
as such a structure can be-the in
surance being only one-ffth Of one per
cent. There are 5000 spindles, 15O
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 3812 inches wide,
there being 515 yards to the pound OF
cotton. Some of the weayers make FAC
yards per day, operating six looms
and this pays them 1920 per week
There are l10 on the pay roll which
