No NEED FOR
SPECIAL SESSION
Gov. piRddll Thinks Brydn'S
Plan Feasible, But MOI
Necessary Now.

Acting Governor X. 0. Pindall
was asked last Monday night re-
garding his views of William
Jennings Bryan's speech, deliv-
cred at Mena Saturday and of
Mr.. Bryan's suggestion that a
special session of the Arkansas
legislature be called for the pur-
pose of legislating for the secur-
ity of depositors in banks, dur
ing any period of financial strin-
gency. Governor Pindall would
make no statements in regards
to the possibility OF a special ses-
sion of the legislature being call
ed, neither affirming nor denying
any intention of taking such
action.
Governor Pndall stated, how

M0RGAN-CALlAWAY.

On last Monday morning be-
tween IL and l o'clock, at the
Methodist parsonage, Mr.. c. H.
Morgan and Miss Bertie Galloway
were married. Rev. T. D. Scott
officiating.
The groom is a son of S. H.
Morgan, a retired railroad con-
ductor who resides on a farm
near Bald Knob. Mr.. Morgan is
a printer and for the past several
months has been an employe of
the Picayune; he is a young man
of good character, and notWith-
standing the fact that he is of
the newspaper persuasion, the
Picayune believes he will make
a good and faithful husband.
The bride is the youngest
daughter Of H. l.. Galloway, a
good substantial farmer citizen
who resides three miles east of
Prescott, on Routes. She is also
a cousin of our fellow townsman,
Levi NJ. Moore.
The Picayune force. from edi-
tor to devil, wish Mr.. and Mrs.
Morgan much happiness.

Another letter, written to

kestern Arkansas, in which the
enator is asked to keep his hands

bhown up. Acting Governor x.

Eazette copy Of a letter said to
lave been sent Senator Davis by

ever, that he thought the banks
throughout the state were in good
condition and that there was no
urgent need for a special session
Of the legislature for the sole
purpose of devising protection
for depositors, when everything
seemed to be in such a prosper
Gus condition at present. He
stated that conditions might be
different in other states and that
IN those places such laws might
be greatly needed, but that he
did not believe there was any
great need of legislation for that
purpose in Arkansas now.
Asked as to what he thought
of Mr.. Bryan's plan for safe
guarding the people against finan-
cial panics, Governor Pindall
stated that he had not yet had
time 10 give the matter great
thought, but tha5 from what he
had read Of It, the plan advanced

one or two of its textures might

union FARMERS
WILL HOLD COTTON
An Executive Meeting in Van
Buren, District ii is Decided to
keep Staple in Storage.

An executive meeting Of the
members Of the Van Buren, dis
trict Of the Farmers Union was
held Saturday evening for the
purpose of reviewing the cotton
situation. While the crop is
practically all ginned. there is
held in the Farmers Union ware
house at Van Buren,, Alma, Dyer
and Mulberry, the four storage
points in Crawford county, fully
5000 bales of cotton, go per cent
of which is middling cotton.
The holding movements strong
in Crawford county and there
was no disposition on the part of
the members to withdraw their
holdings and place it on the
market. They feel confident
that Immediately following the
called meeting of the national
organization at Memphis on the
7th they will be able to realize
the minimum price of Is cents.
Owing to the fruit crop of 1907
that brought to the farmers of
this county fully 81 900. 600 there
is butIlittle distress or mortgaged
cotton being held in any of the
warehouses here, consequently
the Crawford county members
are in a position to hold their
crop without the inconvenience
caused members in the state that
depend entirely upon cotton.
Among the depositors in the six
banks in Crawford county are a
great many farmers and fruit
growers. and they are going to
the relief of their less prosperous
brothers whose cotton hoidin@s
are mortaaged, and ore helping

lie today. urges the creation OF a
general administrative system OF su.
pervision or interstate corporations
which shall give. in substantially the
same form as is now furnished for a
few corporations, the essential acts re-
lating 10 all interstate corporations.
Whether the system take the form
OF federal license plan, or simple
requirement that interstate corpora
tions shall make reports aud submit
their books 10 federal bureau. is or
little consequence, he says. SO long
as the information necessary for pub
licity is sustained. The thing that Is
important is TO arrive at system
which will accomplish the result:
which will enable the government TO
deal with such corporations In the
main by administrative supervision,
rather than by judicial procedure.
