If Pearlington is no longer a cotton port, owing to the removal of planters from Pearl River to the central portion of the State, it has become one of the most important points for the sawing and shipping of lumber in the South. The mills at that place and its immediate vicinity employ many steam and sailing vessels, coastwise and to foreign ports, and ovei 600 hands in their various branches of business. The four mills, with four circular' saws and three gangs, cut an average of 90,000 feet of lumber -per day. Allowing 260 working days per year this would make ? 23,400,000 feet. :	,
