The Advantages of a Canning
Factory.
There is a prospect of a canning
factory being established in our
midst. The Lafourche Progressive
Union has set the movement on foot
and is earnestly pushing it. At its
invitation Mr. Williams representing
" company which makes it a business
of building canning factories and
starting them in various parts of the
Country, has been among as for some
time, laying his proposition before
our people who have been considering
it and are taking the necessary steps
to sgeaiss a coupany to take hold
Without discissing the me.its of
that proposition, the Swraxsm. desires
to briefly consider the advantages of
a canning factory to the community
In which It exists and is operated.
We may start out with the general
proposition that factories help to
build up a community. Factories
afford employment to willing labor
and attract a desirable class of ar.
tisans to the community, and thus
add to its wealth and population.
The operation of factories increase in
be community the volume of money
in circulation; this increase of the
cfiulating medium stimulates busi
nes and promotes the general pros
peri~y among the people, every class
in the community, merchants, real
estate owners, lawyers, doctors, artis
ans, laborers and all, sharing in it,
directs; or indirectly.
These are general propositions
that few will dispute and none can
successfully controvert.
jOt if true as to factories in gen
eral, they have much more force and
cogency when applied to a canning
factory, which possesses peculiar ad
vantages which are not common to
all factories. A canning factory here
will not only offer employment to the
people in town seeking it, but it will
also afford a ready and convenient
market for truck farmers, and there
are a large number of small farmers
Tathrofre zeh ewre
last analysis means that, ones in
operation, the canning factory Is a
continuous source of profit to the
community: it helps the farmer, by
allowing him to diversify his crop,
and giving him at his door a ready
market for products which he could
not dispose of before; it helps the
laborer and artisan by opening a new
field for their labor; it helps the
mercantile business by throwing a
larger volume of money into circula
tion, and increasing the capacity of
consumers, besides bringing farmers
to town, to tarry their produce to the
factory and to trade; it helps the
community at large by the increase
of wealth and population, thus en
hancing the value of lands and houses.
And all this is done without sending
a cent outside of the parish, over and
above the cost of the construction cf
the plant, save perhaps the small cost
of material for packages.
The raw material will be gotten
from our lands and the price thereof
will be paid to our truck farmers;
our own people will be employed in
the factory and the wages paid out
will remain In ihe community3 while
the products o1 the factory will be
sold abroad, and money will be
brought in to be paid out to our
farmers, laborers and artissans, and to
be divided among the stockholders,
eaftr all expenses paid.-So much for
the advantages.
Now, as to the objections. Some
say it will not pay. Why not ? it is
a paying business elsewhere, why
can't we make it pay here ? Teere is
no good reason why we cannot make
it pay as well as the business pays
elsewhere, if we put into it the proper
amounot of business sagacity, push,
energy and determination.
But where will we get the raw
material to can ? ask others. W1hy,
right here, and all along the bayou;
tomatoes, okra, peas, beans, and corn
can be grown to supply ten or more
canning factories, so why worry about
supplying one?7
Rut our smtail farizers don't raise
and will not raise these, object others.
True, they have not hitherto raised.
these for the canning market but it
was because there was no demand fort
tLems but let, us create a demand and
show them that this kind of farming
will pay them two and three times
more than raising cane and we shall
see how soon the demand will be
supplied. Indeed, it will be a queP
tion of a very short time when the
supply will far exceed the demand,
and there will be room for more
factories in the parish.
The move for a canning factory is
a good one from every point of view,
and we hope to see our people hearti.
ly second the efforts of the U&ron.
The establishment of such a factory
In our midst will lead to the estab
lishment of others.
Thibodaux is on trial now; we have
bee. talking about starting factories
an4, Ietelegs I eqateh; sw s
the time to pmve the faith that isl i

Our business and monied men
most rise to the height of the occa
sion, and seize the opportunity to
establish a canning factory, which
will lead to others, or else our reputa
tion for thrift, enterprise and pro
gress will seriously suffer.
Let us act in unison, townsmen
and countrymen, sad put up a
factory.
Escaped an Awful Fate.

writes, "My doctor told me I had

Let Us Have A Good Road.
In our last issue, we suggested the
advisability of taking the necessary
steps to raise funds by subscription
or otherwise to shell the road from
St. Charles street to the Catholie
Church, as soon as possible, so as to
prevent the recurrence ta the future

should be a matter of vital concern
to the public in general, and to the
citizens of the town in particular.
The SENTINEL has suggested shell.
ing the road as a remedy, but it is not
wedded to that plan. If anyone has
a better plan to offer, let him bring it
forth; what is desired is to have the
road so repaired and built as to make
it possible to keep it always in good
condition. That is the end in view;
the means to attain it are but a
secondary consideration.
But we should begin now to consi
der the matter seriously and to adopt
the proper steps to secure a good
road. Our people are slow to move,
but they are willing, and with the
right men at the head of the move.

success. Once more we auk who will

Thibodaux Honored.
We are glad to note that the Gov.
ernor has honored both the parish
and town by appointing one of our
worthy citizens, Air. . H. Lancaster,
one of the ten delegates from this
State to the National (food Roads
Convention, and hope our townsman
will attend the sessions of the con.
vention, as there will undoubtedly be
much useful information to be deriv.
ed from the discussions and proceed.
lugs.
That iaformat'oe so derived could
be lapmtfsi to oar Vfpple - b
r dehegate in a public report imde to
the police jury or the mnalcipal
council, and published in the local
press.
It thus appears that the presence
of an intelligent delegate from this
parish at the convention will be for
the'general good and for that reason,
it would be but just and fair that the
public contribute towards the expense
incurred by attendance.
The Police jury, the town council,
our business men, and our plauters,
who suffer so much from bad roads,
and one and all should contribute to
the end that our representative ap.
pointed by the Governrr fail not to
attend.
The SENTINEL. opens th( list with
its mite of $2.50 and will receive
such other contributions as public
spirited citizens may make.
The convention is to meet on Feb.
ruary Mieth, 1903, and it will take
some $ 7 to cover all expenses of at.
tends nce.
The time is short; let no one wait
on the action of his neighbor but
