future actions of MT. Love. It has been stated by some that he will contest the seating of MT Hughes at the next meeting of the Boal d, while others hoot at the idea and declare that he will make no such effort.
 It will be remembered that Governor Pindall only recently appointed Hon Oscar Rolfe, ot Cross county, to succeed Hon. o. N. Killough, who he claims to be disqualified by reason of his membership in the Arkansas Legislature, and Mr. Love holds a similar position, representing Lee county in the general assem- bly,.

We have depOsitors now, to whom we loaned money when we com menced business. It does not pay to borrow money unless you have a reasonable prospect that you can make more on it than the interest you pay. If you want to open an account and see it grow, and cheer your declining years, come to- us. If you are in need ofmoney tomeet your obligations, come to see us. We will treat you with every consideration, be your account large or small.

The Prescott daily news., 1907-08-29

Further, there is distinction between mandatory and direc- tory provisions of law, and it is a rule universally recognized that constitutional provisions arc directory as applies to the ex- ecutive department.
 Further, there is no penalty provided by law for failure to adhere strictly to these provisi ons of the constitution, as cited by the attorney general. And even if there was a penalty in view of the fact that it is incum- bent upon our officers to save to the State all that can be saved by preventingunnecessary expenses Tn carrying out the governmental functions of their respective offices, 1 would have no hesitancy. while acting as governor, in re. hitting any penalty that might accrue by reason of the auditor or treasurer acting in this case, as all of their predecessors have acted in the past.
 l was at first considering some plan of borrowing the money from the different banks through out the State, and had particul- arly in mind the country banks and not the metropolitan insti- tutions, spoken for lately by a repreSentative of one of the city's banks. 1 appreciate the con servatiye displayed by Col. Prat and Judge Kavanaugh for their respective banks, when these gentlemen refrained from discus sing my plans before they had been advised of them. However,. as no communication had been addressed to any of the city banks, the gratutious criticism which was offered concerning my undisclosed plan was indeed premature. In answering to thu criticism, however, it might be well to remind some of those who constantly urge that the States funds be taken from the vaults and loaned to the banks comes with rather poor grace from those who voluntarily refuse to aid the State in times of seeming eX- tremitieS, and doubtless this fact will not be lost sight of by the peoples representatives when in the future attempts are made to create so-called State deposi- tories. These being my views l feel like saying that at this time the talk of an extra session of the Legislature is rather early in the season. Very respectfully,
 X. O. PINDALL,
 Acting Governor.

 Session of Legislature
NONE WILL BE CALLED NOW

Special to the News.

SpecIdl lo thc No"s'
 Little Rock, Aug. 29. Special At very late hour yesterday afternoon Acting Governor Pin dall issued the following signed statement regarding existing conditions in this state:
 The newspapers throughout the State are agitating the ques tion of an extra session of the legislature. There have been ru- mors current since the adjourn ment of the regular session that the legislature would be called back for number of purposes, and since the recent opinion of the attorney general upon the State capitol question the matter has received more attention. It has been suggested in the press of the State that the situation is one concerning which the execu tive office should be heard from. and, believing that the people may be interested in my views concerning this question, 1 make the following statements:
 The reason assigned by those who assume to desire an extra session may be summed up as follows:
 l. That since the rendition of the opinion of the attorney gen eral the State capitol revenue is tied up.
 ,, That this opinion inferenti- ally ties up the common school fund.
 5. That this opinion of the at torney general, by inference, ties up the Confederate pension fund.
 i. That if the legislature was convened in extra session it could make an appropriation for the salary of the regular governor of Arkansas, in futherance of it's expressed will that he shall re- celve his salary during his pres

Lawson Hughes AppOi nted.

Little Rock, Aug. 29.-Special The appointment of Lawson Hughes of Haynes, Lee county, to succeed Hon. Frank o. Love, as member of the St. Francis Levee Board, by Gov. Pindall, was second only to the statement of the Governor that he would not call a special session os the legislature in importance. MT. Hughes is not a politician and it is stated that he has never taken any part in the factional fight in the St. Francis Levee Board. He is a merchant at Haynes, seven miles out of Marianna, being a member of the firm of Hughes Bros. He is considered to be a worthy appointee.
 What Representative Love will do has not been learned. A mum Der of Eastern Arkansas men were in the city Wednesday, at tending the meeting of the Rail road Commission, but all profes- sed to have no knowledge of the
