ADDENDA TO THE ARTICLE ON SUGAR, BY J. P. SMITH ..
(1.) J. W. Barnett was the first in the State to erect two "Deming" super -- heat clarifiers and two 8 and 10 feet vacuum pans.
(2.) Captain J. N. Pharr was the first in the State to erect a-"Deming" super -- heat clarifier.
(3.) V. Provost still uses his old open kettle sugar house with mule power,. which is said to be the oldest in operation in the State. Has been built 25 years, .. with no improvements. His cane is made mostly into molasses and is renowned ! for its extra quality.
(4.) Hon. Walter A. O'Niell was the first in the State to erect the "der- - rick" for unloading cane carts.
(5.) "Total Wreck" plantation, owned by Baldwin & Co., was once the property -

of M. Agricole Fuselier, and is mentioned by "Cable" in his "Strange True Stories of Louisiana."
(6.) "Georgia and New Hope" plantations, now owned by C. S. Mathews, forms a traet of land which was, in part, previously owned by Judge George Mathews and has ever since remained in the Mathews family. Judge George Mathews was very prominently identified with the development of the State, being the first chief justice of the Territory of Louisiana and chief justice of the State until his death.
(7.) J. F. Martin, of Iberia Parish, was the first man in the State to erect a central factory and depend entirely upon outside patronage for his cane.
(8.) "Australia" plantation, owned by V. M. Lefebvre, in W. Baton Rouge, is the highest point of land in the parish, and here was made the first settlement.
(9.) "St. Louis" plantation, in Iberville Parisli, owned by E. J. Gay Planting and Manufacturing Company (Limited), has been in the Gay family since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the same may be said of "Bel-Air" plan- tation, now owned by Mrs. Samuel Stafford, in W. Baton Rouge Parish.
(10.) "Elm Hall" plantation, in Assumption Parish, now owned by the Lcon Godchaux Company (Limited), was the first plantation in the State to have a vacuum-pan plant and make loaf sugar. It was then owned by Dr. Kittredge. The present owners were among the first in the State to adopt the Rilleux system of evaporating cane juice.
(11.) "Little Texas" plantation, in Assumption Parish, now owned and operated by C. C. Barton, lies within the old historic "League Square,"-a tract of land granted to a Catholic priest by the Spanish government for religious purposes. Titles of land within this square can be easily traced to the time of the Spanish grant, hence the question of their validity has never arisen. On this plantation exists a large Indian mound, which is used as a burial ground by the Pugh and Phillips families, its center being marked by a large live oak, entirely sheltering with its massive, outstretched limbs, the graves beneath.
(12.) Webre, Steib & Co. (Limited), in the Vacherie, own and have in their possession a "madstone," and claims it to be the only one in the South, which they use to cure the bites of snakes and dogs. Some phenomenal cures have been made. It has never been known to refuse affiliation with the venomous bites of snakes and dogs. This stone was found in the heart of a deer by a Natchitoches Indian and presented to Mr. Durio, a planter on the Mississippi River, who had, on a number of occa- sions befriended this Indian, and received this as his reward. Sylvester Webre pur-

chased the stone from Mr. Durio, and it has been handed down to the present generation.
(13.) "Evan Hall" plantation, in Ascension Parish, owned by McCall Bros. Planting & Manufacturing Company, has always remained within the family. They hold the original grants from the Spanish government.
(14.) Lower Terribonne Refinery & Manufacturing Company and J. M. Bur- guieres are the only two in the State who have 12-foot vacuum pans.
(15.) Capt. John T. Moore's plantations are located on the highest point in Terrebonne Parish, having an elevation of eight feet and giving natural drainage. This is the only instance of such note in the parish.

INDEX
TO NAMES OF PERSONS REFERRED TO IN THIS VOLUME.
Authors merely cited are not indexed. French names having the preposition "de" will gener- ally be found under those letters of the alphabet respectively commencing the final or surname. Many names have no initials, and they are indexed independently, although some of them may refer to the persons whose names are given in full elsewhere. Where a prominent name is once introduced it is likely to occur on following pages throughout that passage of history, and it is not necessary in such cases to enumerate every page where it occurs. Where a name occurs, therefore, several times on the same page, the page is indicated but once in the index.
