THE TRUCK GROWERS.

There has been some intimation
that at the meeting of the Truck
Growers Association for the pur-
pose of winding up the seasons bus
mess Saturday, that there might be
a dissolution of the organization.
The BANNER trust that such a
step will not be taken by the Truck
Growers. It is presumed the com
parative failure of the watermelon
crop to turn out as well as they ex-
pected this year is the cause of the
contemplated disbanding of the As
ISOLATION, but this should not lie
done for various reasons.
In the first place the organization
is perfected, and all the preliminary
stages gone through with, and it
costs nothing comparatively to keep
it alive, and while there may be no
business for the Association to
transact after the season business
has been wound up at this meeting
consequently no necessity for winter
meetings, it can be adjourned sub
ject to the call of the president next
Spring, when they may well have a
meeting discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of
again going into the truck growing
business.
1t is entirely too soon to give up
the organization. Truck growing
has not been given a fair test. The
difficulties of the first season might
be overcome, and who knows, Bren-
ham might have another railroad
running in here to complete with
the present lines before another sea-
son.
The Truck Covers should main.
tain their organization and await de-
yelopments.

made a huge bonfire of them. Those

the modest plan of Southern women.

A PRETTY STORE.
MeSSrS. 'BrOckschmidt G. HGhlt'S Hand.
some Double Store Now Filled
With Goods.

A BANNER reporter dropped into
and was shown through the man.
moth general merchandise establish
ment of Messrs. Brockschmidt G.
Hohlt Saturday and while there
watched the progress OF large bust
ness and noted how, under the per-
feet system with which this business
in conducted, aided with the con-
venient adjunct of perfect cash
carrier system and electric call bells,
a large crowd of customers were
served with promptness and dis
patch that challenges the admira-
ton of every one who will call there.
The co-partnership of Brock
schmidt & Hohlt was established in
1856, and though unostentatious in
its proportion then, has gradually
been built up by close application to
business and a fair and square treat
ment of their customers, until they
purchased the large store next door
to them remodled it, connected it
with the other by two large open
arches, and now occupy the two,
which are we'll filed, though 130x30
feet each, center counters piled with
goods running down the center Of
each. The stores are on the north
side of court square, and the one on
west is divided into three depart
ments. A crockery and glassware
department occupies one side OF the
front and the middle counter, dis
played with excellent taste while on
the other side is the retail grocery
department, the rear being used for
staple and heavy groceries.
The other store is filed with an
elegant stock of dry goods, notions,
etc, and contains millinery depart
meut, where ladies can have their
hats trimmed to order. In the rear
of the store just beyond the second
arch connecting the stores is an ele-
gantly fitted up little Office, elevated
so as to give the little lady who runs
the cash drawer and attends to the
cash cards that glide in from various
directions of both houses, chance
to over look every department. in the
stores.
Indeed the whole establishment
is a model of convenience and neat
ness and visit through reveals
many pleasing novelties in the way
of displays of superb design, and ar
ranged by deft hands, and is well
worth the time that it takes, even if
you should not desire to make pur-
chase.

The Truck Growers Association
met Saturday for the purpose OF
winding up the seasons business,
which owing to high freight rates
on watermelons has not been very
satisfactory, but the organization
will be maintained. From an item
lied statement of the result of TWEEN
ty-one car loads of watermelons,
shipped to Denver, Trinidad, Pueb-
10, Dallas, Kansas City, and HAM
bal, the gross receipts show they
brought S3,15567, and netted $3.50
rs. The idea of the gross receipts
being over four times as much as
the net amount realized, is of course
too great difference, and the rem
edy must be found. Limited space
precludes further comment now, but
the BANNER will add that it is glad
they didn't disband, and will have
more on the subject hereafter.

Ex-Speaker Reeds ruling on the quorum
question In the last Congress and over which
the Democratic press OF the country gen.
orally howled with rage is quite slikely to be-
come recognized authority among Jurists ana
parliamentarians. Since he has been taking
his European outing book has come into
notice on "Political Science and Constltu-
tional Law" the author of which Is Profes-
sor i. w, Burgess of Columbia College, who
for fifteen wears past has been at the head Of
the school Of political science in that college,
and a lecturer and professor in Its law school
He Is an author in his special field of no
small weight. In reviewing constitutional
government and reaching the organization
Of the Congress Of the United States he has
this to say on the principle of the quorum
"The constitution does not expressly provide as
TO how the presence OF a quorum shall be deter
mined, but it seems TO me 10 imply In the power
OF each House to force the presence OF members.
in order to form quorum, that physical pres.
ence Is the test, whether or no the members pres
ent shall ACT. Such has not been, however. the
general practice to this time. 1t has been regard.
ed as necessary that quorum shall not merely
be present but shall also act"
This is common sense conclusion that
VIII commend itself to thinking persons,
physical presence, outweighs constructive
absence by n0n-actioD, and 1t will not be
many years before Speaker Reeds ruling on
what constitutes quorum, win be the ac.
cepted Interpretation of the constitution. as
today 1t Is the legal Interpretation, In the
opinion of the jurist and trained student oj
political economy, Prof. Burgess.

The English journals are making truly
piteous complaint on the depression wrought
in British business affairs by the Mckinley
bill. or course no one wishes Ill TO the bust
ness Of England, and it is to be hoped that
our cousins will find for their manufacturers
other markets to take the place of those
which we want for our people. But it must
be admitted that England. regarded as a
nation, and not as a collection of human be-
ings who are our brothers, deserves little
sympathy. She has crushed the trade of her
neighbors and rivals more unscrupulously
than any other nation ever did. She
attempted to exercise Industrial tyranny
over this country long after we threw off the
tyranny Of her laws. AS nation she de-
serves no pity If her industries have been
depressed by our laws. But of course the
man who tolls In England today for HIS
daily bread is in no way responsible for the
acts OF English ministries and boards of
trade Of the past. And II upon him Is visit
ed punishment for the acts of his fathers
every one In America will hope that his hard
situation may be only temporary.

1t seems that the Kentucky constitution
for which the people pronounced so strongly
In the recent election was chiefly conspicu-
GUS for clause prohibiting lotteries. lflthe
trainers Of the constitution could have made
equally popular a clause to leep prominent
citizens of the State from numbering each
other in obedience to the dictates of false
sense of honor, they might have given i'm
petus to another sadly-needed reform.
