THE WESSON MILLS.
If there Is a famous Industrial point In
the south It is certainly Wc-xm. lor its
product has been sold throughout trie
world, and its jeans was apecla.ly popular
for many years u» a favorite lor gentle
men's suitings.
Its product a have often been sold In
Massac ui*rtis, the center of the cotton
m il inu.i'try in America.
The Wesson Mill company Is the senior
in point of date <*f charter organizations,
as it was founded by Colonel J M. Wes
- n and his partner* as the Mississippi
In 1886, but their first mill was de
stroyed by tire In 187;; and rebuilt in 1874,
and thus the present mills, now number
ing six different const ructions, is out
ranked in point of priority of erection by
tb«- Stonewall Cotton Mills, whose origi
nal buildings was erected prior to 1N«U.
and is still in splendid service. When
Wesson was selected in 1866 by Colonel
We.sxm and his company, as :ue future
site of their plant. It was practically a
pine wilderness, and It is said that 3uuu
acres were purchased at $1 per it ere.
The location is on the Illinois Central
Railroad, 135 miles north of New Or
leans, aud forty five miles south of Jack
son.
Its growth is one of the highest tests,
which can he applied of the value of the
cotton mill Industry to the country as a
local wealth creator. It was thirty years
since without Inhabitants or wealth, while
to-day It is a little city of About 4000
population, and with au assessed valu
ation but a little short of $‘J,UUU,U00.
The mill property pays a large share
of the town's wealth, as It owns the
greater part of the real estate, besides
the mill property.
There 1s also a substantial bank and
business houses adequate to do the local
commerce of the thriving littie industrial
city.
The mill plant sets back from the ra 11
road about 300 feet, but faces the truck
for the distance of about sou feet. It is
served la freight conveniences by ample
sidetracks and spurs in the receiving aud
shipping quarters.
Au official historical statement of Wes
son was furnished as follows:
The town of Wesson was founded by
Colonel J. M. Wesson, who formed a
company under the name of "Mississippi
Manufacturing Company,’ in 1866. In
1871. the property passed Into the hands
of Johu T. Hurdle & Co., of New Orleans,
with Captain Win. Oliver as managing
partner. In 1873 the mill was burned
down, when rbe company was reorganized
under the name of ’Mississippi Mills,’
with Colonel E. Richardson, president,
and Captain Win. Oliver, secretary aud
treasurer. This company rebuilt No. 1
mill, machinery consisting of four acts
wool cants aud 4000 cotton spindles.
in isto-io, rso. . min win uum,
in 4lHfO cotton spindles and ull necessary
machinery for a check mill, also adding
three sets of wool cards to woolen mill.
In 1883 the machinery lu both mills was
reorganized, and 2tXR> cotton spindles and
six sets of wool cards added.
• In about 1890, mill No. 3 was com
pleted. consisting of a live story brick
building 190 feet long and 54 feet wide,
aud weave room 327 feet h>ug by 182 feet
wide. Underneath the weave room Is an
Immense basement, arranged conveniently
for the storage of wool. Five thousand
ebttou spindles and eight sets of wool
cards were added, making a total of 15.
188 cotton spindles. Twenty-one sets of
wool-cards (18 of them 49” and 3.6U”) 8404
wool spindles; S33 woolen looms, of
which 02 are broad looms.
“The mills are fitted up with all the
necessary machinery for dyeing and fin
Uhiug their own goods. It Is* to be un
derstood from the above list of machinery
that these mills manufacture woolen
goods as well as cotton goods. The au
nual capacity of the woolen departments
amouuts to as much as 1.500.0UU pouuds of
wool. The annual capacity of the cotton
department la about 2,5u0,000 pounds of
cotton.
“In 1894 mill No. 4 was completed and
fitted up with the latest improved ma
chinery fior preparing wool for the wool
en department.
“Mill No. 1, In which the wool carding
and spinning Is done, Is a three-etory
brick building, 338 feet long by 65 feet
w ide. ’
“Mill No. 2, where the cotton carding
aud spinning Is done, has four stories
aud an attic, 212 feet long by 54 feet
wide, and attached to this building la
the cotton lapper department, with three
stories and a:tie 115 by 34 feet.
“Mill No. 3 is a five atory building, 190
feet by 54 feet, and in this building the
woolen finishing, cotton finishing aud the
dressing and bcamiug of warp* is done.
•The weave room is one of the finest In
the United States, aud has been erected
with special attention to light. This
room is heated by hot air In wiuter and
ventilated with cool air in summer, by
means of rotary fans. The motor power
for diving the machinery In this room Is a
Corliss engine of «U0 horse power. This
department contains $uO looms. The
electrlct light for the entire mills Is
generated by twelve dynamos. The out
put of the mills consists principally of
fancy catslmeres, cheviot*, flue doeskin*.
the mill Is sold through & New York
agency.
When the mill. In 1871. passed from the
control of Colonel Wesson, the late Col
onel Kd Richardson be«-am«* Its president,
and remained s«» until hU death, early in
1H86. He was succeeded by his friend,
partner and rght hand bower, the Ute
Cap aln Win. Oliver, who remained presi
dent during the remainder of his life.
He was succeeded by John IV Richard
son and J. S. Ri hurdson, and at Mr. J. S.
Ri -hardson's death last year, Mr. R. L.
Saunders, of Jackson, succeeded to the
presidency ami was reelected at the
iast annual meeting.
All of these gentlemen were men of
vast business interests, splendid business
talents. Put none had any cotton mill
experien e except Captain Oliver, and he
had n .m» when he began his career at
tIt.- W.-s- n Mills.
lr is said that Captain OllveT made a
[ large estate out of his mill holdings and

If Mississippi had 2**0 Wesson Mills, her

that stare, a Use of which la supplied
elsewhere.
Mr. Saunders, the* president, is a well
known business man of the capitol city
of Mississippi, and Is esteemed for his
business qualities and high character.
Mr. Kea, the secretary and treasurer,
is the product of the mill aud bas been
there la some capacity practically all of
his lift* and started as a farm l>oy.
Mr. Walter Oliver has not been with
the mill mauy years, but Is an expert and
has worked in oth«*r good mills, including
some Canadian mills.
•is an evidence of the high grade of
goods made at this mill, the following is
clipped from the Southern Trade Record,
of Cincinnati:
FINEST LINE OF “DOMETS.”
The Southern Trade Record’s ofTer of
free Investigation and report on auy busi
ness subject of interest to its subscribers
has lately brought many requests for a
recommendation of the concern manufac
turing the finest and most up-to-date line
of flannelettes. la order that we might
be able to mako a satisfactory uud reli
able report, and realizing the Importance
of our recomuieudatlon, we took more
<hau usual care In looking up the matter,
se. uriug the services of thoroughly reli
able experts in this line who possess
high reputation for probity and knowl
edge of the requirements or this class of
goods. After a careful and exhaustive
examination of the nroduets of the vari
ous mills, their verdict was unanimously
in favor of the flannelettes manufactured
by the Mississippi Mills, Wessou, Miss.
This concern’s product was found supe
rior In texture and coloring to auy other,
aud we ieel eutirely safe in recommend
ing tbelr goods to all who are looking for
the best. Tbelr cottonades, etc., are also
eouceded to be unsurpassed for quality
aud fineness of fluish. No manufacturer
or other Interested party was consulted
in this investigation; consequently the re
port we make is free from all bias aud
prejudice, being based wholly upon the
superior merit and value of the “Missis,
slppl" goods, as determined by rigid
ooinpara'lve tests.and examinations. Tne
Record has the largest circulation of any
trade paper in th** United Stares, aud we
believe 'hat its success has boeu due
principally to the publication of these
