IzORE About THE RE-
FINER y

The cane planters in the neigh
borhood of Carencro were more
fortunate this year than their
brothers in other parts of the par
ish. With very few exceptions
they sold the whole of their crop
It is true the price obtained by
them was rather low, but no cane
was left to rot in the fields as was
the case in other sections. The
Carencro mill and Huron refinery
being operated within short distances
of their fields TIE Carencro planters
had safe home-market for their
crop, otherwise they would have
encountered the same difficulties
that planters in this and other sec
tons had to contend with. We
mention this to prove the correct
ness of our statement last week that
if the farmers near Lafayette want
to continue the cultivation OF cane

cessary. Without one it will be

gage in the cultivation of cane, as
past experiences teaches him thai
he can not, with safety, depend up
on any of the refineries in the ad
Joining parishes to purchase hi:
cane. The Gazette may lay itsel
liable to the charge of being mono
tonous or cranky, but it is deter
mined to talk about the refinery un
til the people make an earnest eftor
to build one. If, after this is done
it happens that we have spoken II
vain, we promise our readers tina
they will enjoy a long and much
needed rest on this subject.

The Gazette has received a let
ter from gentleman in dis
tant State asking what is the feel
ing of the people here regarding the
sugar bounty. We replied that the
neonle of this section believed that
they had been deceived and greatly
wronged by the government; thai
the bounty should have been paid
on this years crop at least; and
tn at this unjust policy of the gov
eminent had caused ruin to many
planters, and that Congress was
guilty of having committed a shame
full wrong against large part of the
population of louisiana.

The carrying away Of large Quantities OF sample

many persons to take away from five TO twenty-five
pounds of grapes in bags. This custom so depleted

made against H. and the great majority OF the trade
