E L THE REFINERY

The farmers in the surrounding
country have often felt the need
Of a sugar refinery; they have re-
peatedly dep1ored the failure OF
the opelousas Sugar Refinery. They
will have an opportunity this fall
TO shrow their appreciation Of a
good thing" because it has been an
no,lnced that the new owners OF
the Opelousas mill will be ready
for operation as soon as the cane
crop will be ripe for harvest.
II the refinery succeeds, as we
have every reason to believe, ad-
ditional money will be placed IN
circulation. the farmers will re-
ceive a good price for taeir crop
and it will serve as an impetus for
other enterprises. We all know the
dire need of enterprises here, con-
~sequently the best way to induce
capitalists to invest in this parish,
is to help those business enter
prises already here.
The farmers Of this section
should prepare now to increase
their cane crop. With the assur-
anee that tae tariff will not be
taken off sugar the farmers have
every reason to believe that they
will receive a handsome price fol
their cane output.
The revival of the sugar refinery
means a new enterprise; it means
the utilizing of additional land fol
| another money crop, which nee
essarily means more money for the
farmers to spend next year.

C. j. THOMPSON

Tn The death Of G. j. Thompson,
which occurred on Wednesday at
Beaumont, the school children OF
ST. Landry have lost a valuable and
Ioyal worker. Mr.. Thompson took
charge of the educational affairs
or this parish several years ago
when st. Landry vas one OF the
most illerate parishes in the state
through his endevofs the schools
of this parish were pitched on g
high plane and within a few years
after his accession to the superin-
tendency the schools began to
flourish and the children Of st.
Landry were given better and more
efficient teachers.
Mr.. Thompson, like every mortal
had his faults, but his work to up
build the parish in educationa
lines, his faithful service to the
public, entities him to a position
Of honor among the prominent
dead OF st. Landry.
Many opposed the views of Mr.
Thompson, but it must be said ir
justice. to him that he has made
a splendid superintendent and
there is no doubt that in the hearts
of the teachers and pupils of st
Landry a soft spot for C. J. Thomp-
son will be found
MFR. Thompson was IN of the
Clarion's best friends and in his
death this paper feels that it has
been robbed Of one of its most 10y
all patrons and friends.
We extend our sincerest sympa-
thies to the bereaved family il
their hour of grief and ssure them
That Mr.. Thompson is highly re-
garded for his many noble deeds
for the public's good.

THE PASSING OF A GOOD MEM
BIER

When the new police jury will
convene next July to perfect or
ganization several familiar faces
will not be seen, several members
refusing to submit their names for
recollection.
Adolphe Guillory, one of the old
members, has been defeated and in
his defeat the first ward has lost
one of its best workers, and the
police jury one Of its most efficient
members.
That the friends of Mr.. Guillory
in Opelousas are sorry to e hin
dropped from the juror list, is
evident from the many expressions
Of regret at his defeat heard on the
streets.
Judge Guillory, as he is famil-
iarly known has an enviable repl-
tation as a police juror. Unpreju-
diced, always fair, and without bias
he always put forth his best en-
deavors for the interest Of thu
whole parish.
While there will be other eff
cient members, among the new
ones, to replace Judge Guillory, j
is our opinion that he will be
missed when the incoming police
jury starts on its four years 0
arduous labors, attending to the at
fairs of the parish.
