Imperialism a Foe to Sugar I
Planuters
The argument put forth by the
Lily White Republicans of Louisiana, I
of protection to sugar, rice and lum
her by the election of McKinley, fails
of effect when confronted by the
imperial policy which is adding sugar
and rice producing colonies to the
United States. Hawaii, Cuba and
Puerto Rico and the Philippine Is
lands are better adapted to the growth
ot cither sugar or rice than South
Louisiana, and it is preposterous to
suppose that the products of these
countries will be taxed any great
length of time to pay tribute to Louls
ana planters, even though each and
everyone in the 8tate should vote the
Republican ticket. The trusts behind
the annexation scheme are wealthier
and have more influence in Jepubli.
circles than have our planters, and as
they are not backing the steal of
these countries through benevolent
motives, it is reasonable to suppose
that they will reap all the beneita to
be her vested. When the Philippines
are quieted In their resistance to the
plan of "benevolent assimilation,"
the country becomes developed by
American brains and energy, sugar
plantations in Louisansa will follow
the Attalktapaa cattle industry.
Imperialism means nothing short of I
destruction to the sugar industry ofl
this State.
The howl raised over the Puertsa
Rican tariff foreshadows what our
planters are to expect a the future
should imperialism triumph.
The Democratic party is where
Louisiana planters should be found
if they rbally desire protection. The
"tarif for revenue" is where sugar
will receive that protection.-Baton
Roouge Troth.
Remember the Fair.
There Is but little doubt that there
I will be an immense crowd at the fair
to be given by Th-bodaux Fare Com.
pany No. 1. on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, Sept 8-9 and 10.
An excursion is advertised to ran
from Lake Charles to Thibodaux on
Sunday, the 9th inst and it is reason.
able to suppose that a great many
persons from intermediate towns will
visit our city on that occasion and
attend the fair.
There will be quite a number of
amusements, among which one or
two base ball games will be played
between crack teams. The Fire Com.
pany is making ample preparations
in the way of refreshments of all
kinds tfo guests.
It should be borne in mind that
the Fire company is giving this fair
for the purpose of meeting a mort.
gage debt on the Opera House, which
the company bought some years ago,
and has spent several thousands of
dollars to improve sal malutamn
since for the enjoyment and amuse.
ment of the people.
What would our city be without
an opera house ? So, it will be seen
that the efforts of Fire Company No.
1. are not directed to their own per.
sonal benefit, but to maintain a build.
ing in first class condition for the
general entertainment of the public.
Therefore, the Fire company justly
deserves the heartiest support of the
community and judging by the past
the Sentinel believes they will receive c
it.

The members of the new Board of
Parish schools met in the offee of
Thou. A. Badeaux Esq, on Tudday,
the 28th alt, and organized by
electing Dr. Thomas K. Stark, preui
dent, and Thomas A. Badeaus, Su
perintendent and Secretary. The
salary of the Superintendent was
fixed at 800, per annum. By res.
nlotion of the Board all teachers, who
have heretofore been employed, will
be retained unless removed for cause.
The two Toms caught the oflcial
prizes, but uas they are both compe.
tent and efficient gentlemen in their
professional busines, there s no
doubt that they will put the same
energy into the eause of education
and maintain our public schools up i
to a high moral and intellectual
standard.
It was resolved by the Board that
the schools be reopened on the farst
Monday in September for a sesion
of eight months.
C. U. WILLAISn.
In Memorlan.
The subject of this sketch, Capt.
SC. C. Williams was born in 1833 in
the parish of Lafourche, La. His
fa'her beingone of the pioneer plan.
i ters of that section.
Capt. Williams firstattended schJol
in Kentucky from which State his
father came, tLen, he spent several
years in New Orleans, after which he
I was employed as general and freight
Agt. by the Morgan Railroad Co.!
(now Southern Pacific), at Lafourche
Crossing, and for a number of years
owned and conducted a Barge line,
known as the "Willihams Barge Line'"
in connection with the Southern
Pacific.
During the lapse of 46 years that
he remained in the service of that
company, he fulfilled his duties wiih
an unfailing zeal and integrity.
When the country became involved
in war, Capt. Williams, although of a
conservative mind, heaitated not to
join the ranks of the confederate
army, leaving behind a lucrative
position and a young wife. At the
cloe of the war, he found himself
destitute of all the means he had
previously possessed, but being en
dowed with a rare rmount of energy
ani faith, he courageously set to
work again in order to repair his
losses, which attempt was rewarded
with ample and well.merited success.
Possessed of a genial and happy
disposition, Capt. Williams knew
how to draw men to him. and during
the long period in which he carried I
on daily transactions with a great
number of persons, he always main
tained himself in their friendship and
esteem.
Nothing could be more convincing
of this than to see the unfeigned
ezpressiou of sorrow on the coun
tenance of the many colored hands in
his employ, some of whom were born
and reared on his father's plantation
and who felt that they had lost their
best friend in the death of "Marse
Charley" as they fami:arly called
him.
Although belonging to no particu.
Iar religions sect, Capt. Williams
respected every good creed, and be.
lieved in the tenets of free-masonry
of which he was an esteemed mem,
ber.
Few men could have a better plea
and endearments of a well-to-do
southern. plauter, father of a large
family of noble sons and daughters,
and. enjoying the respect of many
friends and neighbors, he must have
felt it harsh to be summoned away
from all he loved and prized, but
still, when the certainty of an incura
ble malady was made known to him,
he neither faltered nor repined.
Whatever the sacrifice may have cost
him, he murmured not, and with a
meek and patient spirit, bowed to the
inevitable.
In the words of the poet, he may
have said:
"Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me.
And may there be.no mourning at
the bar,
When I put out at sea."
