Others can speak for themselves, bu,
cur West Baton Rouge contemporary
must be aware, If he regularly perusts
our columns, that we are persistent and
almost enthusiastic in advocating all the
great agriculture! Interests OF the State.
We Weld to mons in zeal in urging for

land developing its resources. Tie III
~terests Of agriculture and OF commerce
are mutual and reciprocal, and cannot b.

would still survive az to sep rate COM

every person connected in any manner
with the sugar interest Of our State that
the accommodations ohorded the sugar
planter for tbs sale Of his produce i'll

worthless Imaginable. Time and again
has The attention Of the city authorities
been solicited to tbis fact, and in every
instance has it been treated with the
most sovereign indifference as if sugar
and mo|asses were intrude;s upon The

The former contemplated plan of build
a Mart upon the levee for the safety
Of sugar from the incIemency of the

all papers published in the sugar grow

assistance they could, which consist
simply in bringing The matter before
the planters of their respective Io~.lities
and requesting immediate actiop. It
