Man with Nineteen Plantations Controls Cotton Trade
The Jackson Miss corresp. to the Chicago Tribune profiles Edward Richardson, a leading Mississippi cotton magnate. He owns nineteen plantations across river counties, farms 14,000 acres and yields about 45 million pounds of cotton annually. He also runs mills near Wesson with 10,000 spindles, plans 4,000 more, and trades over 100,000 bales a year. Richardson is described as the most active, influential broker, controlling cotton supply and prices, with vast land and investments, including a cotton and woolen mill complex, and strong influence over labor and regional commerce. He cites high profits, notes low wages, and argues mills can employ poor whites and others, despite economic fluctuations.
