Changes ID Plantation Management
The Tucker brothers, j. Il. Tucker, widely
known through the sugar belt as the GEN.
eral MANAGER of the Miles Company s. St.
James and the two Arnlant plantations,
in ST. James parish, and John W. Tucker,
VINO has beer managing the Miles Ascen
sion and New Hope plantations, in Ascen-
sion parish. have both resigned from fuf
Their participation in the sugar busines
after each putting in more than score OF
years sterling service at their respective
costs. The Messrs. Tucker have been
such an ornament to the sugar industry
that it is with the utmost regret The
Modern Sugar Planter chronicles their re-
tirement from the administration of the
cane fields and sugar factories that were
under their control. They both bought
homes iii the city of Baton Rouge some
time back, and are to move there to enjoy
peace and plenty in the luxury of retire
ment from long lives of activity such as
they led in their most useful sugar plant
ing careers.
The changes at the Miles Companys
plantations incident to the retirement OF
the Messrs Tucker consist of the advance
ment of the former first assistants at the
several properties, whose loyal services
are thus deseryedly rewarded. In charge
of New Hope and Ascension is placed L.
| S. Robbins as general manager; on ST.
James plantation. F. w. Long is advanced
! to the management, while looking after
1.-THE Armant estates will be Powell Miller,
whose duties take in the administration
of both the expansive Armant fields,
Front and Back Armant The direction
of manufacturing operations at the Armant
| central, which ranks as one of the best
equipped sugar houses in the state, is
hereafter to be in the hands of G. j.
TUCKER, the eldest son of Mr.. j. K. Tucker,
who has for some years filled the position
of chief engineer at the Armant house,
and SO assumes his more responsible task
with a fund of invaluable experience
gained after laboFious and practical parti-
/ cipation in the art of advanced sugar
making. The Modern Sugar Planter ex-
tends best wishes to these honored four il
their appointments as chiefs Of the Miles
1 Company's fertile fields and well equipped
i factories, and can only hope they will
make good" with success equal to that
1 which characterized the efforts of their
MISREPRESENTATION Sugar Planter.
1t is with feelings Of sincere regret that
we chronicle the departure from st. James
of Jas. X Tucker. After having resided
4 in our parish for more than twenty years
/ during which time he was the able and
successful MANAGER of the Armant and
St. James plantations of the Miles Plant
4 ing and Manufacturing Co., Mr.. Tucker
has decided to enjoy well-earned rest
4 He will reside permanently in Baton
Rouge, where he recently had erected q
Il magnificent mansion. During his stay III
Il ST. James Mr. Tucker has ever been nun
i bered among our foremost and most in
i fiuential citizens. He has legions Of
I friends not only in the seventh ward, but
i throughout the parish, who, while deeply
regretting his departure. will gladly join
the Interim in wishing him many years OF
Iunalloyed happiness in his new home
St James loss is certainly Baton R0uge's
gain.-St. James Interim.
