Pearl Wight Appointed National
Committeeman.

] The announcement came from w ASH
ington on Monday that Postm aster
General Geo. B. Cortelyou had per-
| formed his last official act as chair
man OF the Republican national COM
| mittee by appointing Pearl Wight, OF
| New Orleans, as a member OF tha
committee for Louisiana to fill the va
| cancy that has existed since the meet
| ing Of the national convention that
nominated Roosevelt and Fairbanks
at Chicago last July.
| The Chief notes the selection OF Mr..
| Wight with sincerest qualification and
| begs to assure Mr.. Cortelyon that no
| better man for the place could have
| been found within the boundaries Of
Louisiana. There is nothing in this dec
]aration inconsistent with The Chlefs
recent cordial Endorsement Of Jules
| Godchaux, who b ad been recommended
| by the Republican state executive COM
| mittee for the post to which Mr.. w light
has been assigned. irasmuch as the
committee and Mr.. Godchaux himself
| had urged MIR. Wight to permit the
use Of his name before that OF Mr..
Godehaux was considered. Owing to
the demands of his extensive business
interests upon his time and attention
Mr.. Wight was indisposed to incur
the responsibilities and annoyan
attaching TO the place Of national COM
mitteeman, and it required no little
persuasion on the part of Chairman
| Corte1you and other Republicans Of
national and state prominence to in
duce the appointee to sacrifice his per-
sopal inclinations and interests for
the benefit Of his party by accepting
the unsought distinction thrust upon
him.
Mr.. Cortelyou is quoted as having
said: ssMr. Wight is a leading bust
ness man of New Orleans, is promi-
nentin Republican councils in the state,
and is universally respected by mem
bers of both parties and all classes OF
citizens. He was appointed not as the
| representative of any faction, but in
the belief that he would represent the
Republican party Of the entire state. :"
To all of which The Chief fully sub
scribes.
| The New Orleans papers without ex-
eeption speak in the most compliment
airy terms of she new committeeman,
thus affirming the declar alton that he
| sis universally respected by members
of both parties and all classes of citi-
zens. =

Fine Showing BY Bank Of Donaldson


The regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors OF the Bank OF
Donaldsonville was held Wednesday
| forenoon, with Vice President Charles
Maurin presiding in the absence OF
Or. VIM. M. MEG lliarG, who is sum-
mering in North Carolina, and all OF
| the directors present except Hon.
| Henry Mccall and L. J. Brun. The
meeting was held on the thirteenth an
niversary of the banks establishment,
the institution having begun business
| June I, 1892. The record of the first
days business shows deposits of S2815
and total transactions OF $7l45. The
| report furnished to the state bank ex-
aminer before opening for business
| May 30, 1905, shows a volume OF bust
ness aggregating S557, Alb, including
1926, 1913 so of loans and discounts,
| S64, 23l.44 due by other banks, $780,
1861 cash on hand, 1886, 1876. SO de-
| posits, $50, 900 capital stock, $40, 900
surplus and s3l. OFT undivided profits.
The report cannot fail to afford a
high degree of qualification to the
| banks friends and patrons, and re-
fleets the utmost credit on the capable
corps OF officers having in charge the
management Of the affairs Of the ster-
ling institution. This corps Is COM
posed of DIR. VIM. MEG alliard, presi-
dent; Charles Maurin, vice president;
w. D. Park, cashier: Il. j. Brun, as
sistant cashier; P. Rodriguez, I., au-
ditor, and Ulysses Rodriguez, col
lector. Ar. Park became cashier Of
/ the bank on January Is, 1895, having
been promoted from assistant cashier
when Z. j.. Clay, the banks first
cashier, resigned his position and
went to Whiteeastle TO organize
bank there. Since his incumbency of
the Office of cashier, Mr.. Park has &C
quilted himself with marked ability
and success, and it is due in no small
measure to his zeal and efficiency, as
we'll as to that OF his associates on the
office staff, that the bank has made
such remarkable progress in the thir-
teen years Of its existence.

FINISHED SUGAR SEASON.

Last Season, But It's Good

Il. G. Little is one Of the last sugar
makers to finish for the season, and he
closed today There has been a light
run of sap this week, but not enough
to amount to anything. Mr. Little has
not made 50 much as last year, the total
yield being 1900 pounds, against 5000
in 1904. He tapped thousand trees.
The average amount made by him is
from two and half to three pounds
per tree, SO it will be seen that this
year is not quite up to the average with
him. The quality Of Mr.. Little's sugar
makes an easy market for him. and he
has sold all the sugar and had only a
