Samuel was a business man making most of his money in the pulp
wood business. He had four logging trucks buying timber all
around the area of Campti. They would cut the trees close to
the ground, remove the limbs, load them on the trucks and take
them to the railroad where they were transported to Spring Hill
where the paper mill was located. The trees had to be at least
4 inches at the base and 2 inches at the top in order to be
processed by the machines at the paper mill. During the war it
was very difficult to get parts to maintain the trucks but
somehow he managed to keep them running sometimes traveling
great distances to get the parts.
Sam tried many different businesses to make a living including
truck farming, cotton, and even raising chickens. All were
unsuccessful as the market fell just about the time he had a
product to sell. The truck farm was on land inherited by his
wife Buena near Campti. They lost the land when his crop did
not bring enough money to pay the notes. He experimented with
cotton farming and divided his crop into two parts. One part he
fed fertilizer while the other did not. A photograph taken in
1924 shows him standing in the cotton field, the fertilized
cotton on the left is much healthier and produced more cotton
than the unfertilized crop on the right.
Sam liked to live high. He loved nice clothes and nice shoes
buying only the finest when he had the money. He bought all the
women, his wife and daughters, fur coats while shopping in
Shreveport. He built a fine two story house on several acres in
Campti and had a cafe, filling station and motel court. James
took over the lumber business and Bubba took the filling station
when Sam got sick.
Once James told us his dad's occasional rebellion around
Christmas time when he would slip off and have a drink. They
had quite a puritan household, but they used to sell beer at the
cafe, Mrs. Bass would not serve, but would take the order.
Sam liked politics......and Long was his favorite. He had a lot
of relatives in Winnfield where Huey P. Long is from. He was
sheriff of Campti several times, and mayor once. Mama said, a
big fish in a little pond. Sam had many powerful friends in
Washington DC as well as Louisiana. Once James wrote home while
in the service about blacks being moved into the barracks with
the desegregation act. His dad went into orbit calling his
friends and raising cain. The next day, they moved the blacks
out of the barracks. The base commander called James in and
said, "If there is something here you don't like, come tell me.
Please don't write home about it."
He was a large man, like his son Bubba. He died of cancer of
the pancreas in 1951. Cancer came on him quite suddenly and in
a few months he was gone. James stayed with his father during
this time. He described him as turning yellow, and hoped no one
would send any yellow flowers.
