CLLBERSON'S PRDCZ1-

NATION.

President Souchon. of the State
Board of Health, has addressed a
letter to Governor Culberson, of
Texas, correcting certain false inn
pressions conveyed by the procla-
nation recently issued by that ex-
ecutive. Governor Culberson who
seems to have been suddenly struck
with. the necessity of stricter
quarantine against Louisiana and
Mississippi, refers to the fever now
prevailing in this State as disease
of a ..fatal and malignant type. "
The dissemination of such palpably
incorrect information over the SIG
nature of a governor of State is
calculated to do much harm to the
business interests of Louisiana, and
President Souchon has done well to
inform Governor Culberson Of the
injury that his exaggerated reports
will do to our State. In his reply
to the governor DR.. Souchon gives
the following figures which prove
conclusively the mild type of the
present fever:

seems unfair to inflict this hardship
on these men, as they have. not been
exposed to the fever and could not
be the means of spreading it. But
Texas has guaranteed against the
whole State of Louisiana and there
is no use to kick.

LARGE PLANT
OF The Lafayette Sugar Refining
Company is Nearly Completed.

those who have visited the re-
finery which is being completed
near this town have been impressed
with the magnitude of the enter
prise. The building of this refinery
is of great Importance, not only to
the town of Lafayette, but to
large area of surrounding country.
The discouraging results obtained
from the cultivation Of cotton have
caused many of our farmers to turn
their attention toward sugar-cane.
Hence, the satisfaction with which
our people have heard of the de-
termination of a wealthy corpora
ton to build right at the gates of
our thriving little city, one of the
largest and most modern sugar
mills in the State.
Three years ago Col. Gus. A.
Brcaux, realizing the necessity of a
refinery in this section, started a
movement to build one. He was
considerably handicapped by adj
verse circumstances. but succeeded
in surrounding numerous difficult
ties, and saw his efforts crowned
with a certain measure of success.
The mill was rather small and the
enterprise struggled along the best
way it could. But this modest be-
ginning was the means Of attracting
large capital, and now Lafayette
CT Of Of
ough and complete sugar manufac-
turing and refining plants in Louis
lana.
The heaviest stock III olders in the
new corporation are Messrs. S.
Gumbel & Co., Of New Orleans, a
firm we'll and favorably known
throughout the South. The other
stock holders are men who also
possess unlimited capital.
About the goth Of last June work
was begun on the mill. Since that
day large force Of men has been
employed in building the houses
AMI putting up the machinery. At
times as many as 200 men
were at work and the weekly pay
ments for labor averaged fully
$4,000. 1t is fair to suppose that
the greater portion Of this money
has found its way to our town.
The "ghost," as the men call the
fellow who handles the "dough,'
made his appearance every Satur
day evening and there was unal
Logged JOY in many hearts and the
merry juggling of silver coins was
heard among the workmen. The
merchant get his share Of this pile,
the hotels got some of it, the res
taurants, the Understands, the sa-
looms, the sovereign of the s.seven
or eleven" table, all got a whack at
it.
We will not attempt to give a
minute description Of the refinery
and the process Of sugar making.
Reference to a few points of inter
est will give one an idea of the size
of this plant. There is main
building, 500 feet long by 80 feet
wide with an ell extending 60 feet
on each side, four scale houses and
three boarding houses.
There is pump-house at the
bayou which is connected with the
tower-tank by 10 inch pipe. The
tank is at height of 90 feet and the
water is supplied by either steam or
electricity. The same can be said
of all the pumps in the refinery as
they can in an emergency be operat-
ed by electrical or steam power.
With capacity of 500 tons day
our farmers can depend upon a safe
home market. AS the bearings are
of the unusually large dimensions of
2oxe4 inches a break down is not
within the range of probabilities.
