Senator Gallery has introduced
10 the Senate, a bill entitled "a bill
entitled "A bill for the relief of the
producers of sugar from cane, sorg.
hum, beess and maple sap produced
10 the Ueited States from the crops
of 1893 and 1894. and for other
purposes" The fate of this bill
directly affects the Louisiana sugar
planters-more 80 than any other
class of producers of sugar in the
United States, for it is ia this State
that the bulk Of the sugar crop of
the Union is raised. The securing
OF this bounty, which is ;1stly due,
would mean the securing of several
millions of dollars by the planters.

Owing to the inactivity of the

not started as is usually the case. and
the consequence was when the great de-

over the Sound commenced running full

the supply OF logs was soon used up. and
1t was found that unless new logging
camps were started the mills would soon
have to shut down for want of logs. A
number of camps were accordingly start
ed and the mills are now being pretty
well supplied, though there is no surplus
on hand as has always been the case in

are likely to commence operations as
