rendering of the bagasse as it comes
from the sugar mill"
"What kind of machinery will you
have for the bagasse industry ?"
"Ah, ! can't talk about that Just
yet. The machine has been invented
and will be used as soon as our plans
are put into operation. The bagasse
will be made into paper stock, and
thus a new industry will be opened
that will net large returns to the as

will be allowed ten years time to pay
for the house. He will be given one

"Not by any means. Every etfec-
i've worker will have an opportunity
o become a stakeholder, white as
yell as cOlOred. OF course there are
great many colored men who are
lmOst worthless as farm hands, but
'e will guard against the admission
such persons. The colored man is
lst as fond Of home comforts as the
