The Donaldsonville Truck Growers
Association, through its president
Walter Lemann, on Tuesday sofa d
carload of garlic to Henry Hlrschs
representing the commission flrm OF
Fl, Levy & Co., Of New Orleans anu
Chicago. Some fifteen or more meIn-
bors of the association contributed to
the big consignment. which realized
a sum in excess Of $3.50. The ship
ment was routed by way of the
Texas & Pacific to New Orleans,
from whence it was directed to
Chicago.
Onions will begin to move in car
load quantities within couple OF
weeks, followed by Irish potatoes,
and the indications are that numer-
GUS heavy shipments of these ana
other vegetables will be made from
this point by members of the truck
growers association.
The splendid results obtained by
this organization demonstrate what
can be accomplished if the truck
farmers will not only work together
in raising the several crops for Whlch
there is demand in the northern
and eastern markets, put Will "
operate likewise in marketing their
products. A meeting of the associa-
tion will be held at the courthouse
Sunday forenoon, May "a, to discuss
topics Of interest to the members
and transact important business. The
Donaldsonyille merchants and bust
ness men are invited to attend, and
should avail themselves Of the OPP
portunity to lend their moral support
to the truckers and impress upon the
latter the advantages and benefits to
be derived from cooperation.

GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOSITS.

The important question of provid-
ing by law for the guaranty of bank
deposits has been preached in the
Louisiana general assembly by Repre-
sentative Chas. &c. Schwing of her
vile, who has agitated the subject
in the press for some time. Besides
introducing a bill which is based on
and follows the general lines of the
Kansas law, Mr.. SchWing offered a
concurrent resolution calling upon
supporters and opponents of the
guaranty system to appear before
the general assembly and furnish all
facts and information in their pos
session concerning the operation of
guaranty laws in other states
After amendments in phraseology
had been proposed by Representative
Generelly of Orleans and accepted
by Mr.. Schwing, the resolution was
adopted by unanimous vote of the
house last Tuesday.
Representative Powell of Beaure-
gard has introduced bill of like
tenor with Mr.. SchWing's, and also
based on the Kansas law, but differ
ing from the SchWing measure main
" in the number and amount of
assessments to be levied upon the
state banks for the maintenance of
the guaranty system: and already
letters and kilograms are going to
members of the general assembly
from all parts of the state recon-
mending either support of or opposi-
tion to the proposed legislation.
Our own community has deep in
terest in the question, having suf- |
fered in greater relative degree |
perhaps than any other community |
In the state, because Of the lack of
a law to safeguard bank deposits. 1t |
Is eminently proper, therefore, that
The citizens of this town, parish and
section should join in the movement
ooking to the enactment of such
aW.
The Peoples Bank of Donaldson
lille has gone upon record by giving
ormal expression through it's board
i directors in favor of legislation
{ this Character. All philosophical /
itizens, and more especially those
tho have sustained financial injury t
trough loss OF bank deposits, should /
lteTvieW or write to members of

Status of Lock and Dam Situation.
The situation with reference to the
Bayou Lafourche lock project is thus
set forth by Senator Ransdell in a

Dear Mr.. Brady have your let

proposition has not yet been con-

give you nothing definite. Such sug-
gestions as | have heard indicate
that the committee will probably ia
Eor a survey to ascertain the cost
of the lock; whether or not the
government should contribute toward

struction; and in general way
what action should be taken by con-
gress in the premises. 1t seems to
