After acquiring his education he entered the sugar plantation business. When 17 years old, he was already skilled in that profession. He was singularly successfull in his early attemps and when quite a young man had charge of the largest plantations in the State. He started out with T.D. MILLER, with whom he remained four years and then went with PAYNE & KENNEDY in the management of the St. Peter Plantation. His next engagement was with J. FERNANDEZ owner of the Alliance Plantation in Plaquemines Parish which position he held for three years.
