Carencro.
- With view TO obtaining the
opinion Of several Of our principal
planters relative to the political
move of number Of suEarlni ll-men
in our state. Your correspondents
concluded that an expression from
certain of them would prove inter-
estinS, and serve as a pointer to the
general feeling among the actual
cane growers Of our section. The
following question was put to each
Of the gentlemen whose replies APP
pear below:
"What is your opinion Of the
present bolt of certain sugar
planters
V. E. Dupuis, one Of our most
prominent, and really the pioneer
sugar planter of Carcncro. Mr..
Dupuis is president of the Farmers
Union, president Of the Carencro
Union Ginncry Company, Limited,
and president of the Carencro SUI
gar Company. He Replies: "My
opinion is that our salvation is in
the keeping of the democratic
party, and I am opposed to the
bolt. l believe, however, that we
are honestly and justly entitled to
the bounty for the present
CROP"
Col. c. c. Brown, manager of
Carencro Sugar Company, man
ager of Carencro Union Ginnery
Company, Limited, a member Of
the firm of Brown & Lobdell, su-
gar planters, and Thoroughly prac-
teal business man, whose principal
interest is in the successful culti
walton Of cane, says: ~ do not see
anything to be gained by the ac-
ton taken by those gentlemen. AS
bad as our party seems disposed
towards our industry, 1 do not see
that the Republicans could better
our condition; the change will only
demoralize the labor by converting
them once more into worthless poll
ticians. Having based my expenses
on the Nj ckiniey law, l think that
we are entitled to the bounty justly
due"
