Mr. C. E. Wright, with his usual enterprise, has put up a steam elevator at the foot of Walthall Street, on the riverfront, which will be used for the purpose of unloading cotton from the boats on the river and placing same on top of the bank. The elevator will have two tracks to the lowest water in the river-one car going up and the other down.
