LE|NKAUE BANK
 HAS SUSPENDED

Mobile, March 21.-Inability to real ize on rediscounts was given as the cause for suspension of the Lienkauf Banking company. one of the oldest banking institutions of Mobile, in mo- tice posted on the door of the bank this morning. Harry B. Packe was named as assignee. President W. H. Leinkauf, of the bank, in statement, said that stagnation in the lumber ana timber trade which had heretofore been a large part of their business. made it impossible to realize on some of the bills receivable, and deeming it ad visable to protect depositors and cred itors the steps were taken as indicated above. The institution was operated under the state banking laws, hence depositors having deposits not drawing interest would be first met in settling. All liabilities will be met. The suspen- sion was not unexpected. The clearing house said that if the bank had asked for assistance 1t would have been read fly given, but that the bank had not asked for assistance.

HANDS WOULD
 BURN LIKE FIRE
Could Lay'Pin in Cracks. Four Long Years ofEczema. Only Reliefin Scratching. Used One Set
 of Cuticura Remedies.
 Hands EntirelyWell.

VI can truthfully say Cuticura Reme- dies have cured me of four long years of eczema. About four years ago noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger and not giving it any attention, it soon became worse and spread all over my hands. If I would have them in water for long time. they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. I could lay a pin in them: After using all the salves I could think of, 1 went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. The only relief got was scratching.
 So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies | pur- chased one complete set, and after using them three days my hands were much well, one set being all l used" (Signed) Miss Etta Narber, R. F. D. 2, Spring Lake, Mich., Sept. 26, 1910.
 No stronger evidence than this could be given of the success and economy of the Cuticura Remedies in the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humors of the skin. A single hot bath with Cuticura Soap, and 8 gentle anointing with Cuti- cura Ointment are often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most dis dressing cascs and permit rest and sleep when all else fails. Cuticura Soap and Ointment are equally effective in pre- serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands. Cuticura Soap (25c.) and Cuticura Ointment l50c:) are sold throughout the world. Send to Potter Drug d Chem. Corp, sole props, l36 Columbus Ave-, Bos- ton. for free Cuticura Booklet on the treatment of skin and scalp troubles.

EXTRA SESS|0N|S NOT YET SETTLED
It Will Depend Entirely on What Legislature Does
 in Next Few Days

E Montgomery, March 21.-(Special.)- J. Members of the legislature who did not go home for the present recess con tinue to talk about the probabilities of an extra session. Governor O'Neal is rather noncommittal on the subject, declaring that he does not care to cross bridges before he reache es them. From this statement 1t might be in ferred that the governor may or may not call an extra session, though il is pretty generally believed that the executive will do so unless certain inn portant legislation is enacted before the two houses adjourn.
 The governor believes that there is tion at the present time, hence his statement about crossing bridges" Should an extra session in the opinion of the chief executive of the state be deemed necessary, there is absolutely no doubt but that he will call one. This can be done just as soon as he makes up his mind on that point with out giving any notice whatsoever to his intention. The constitution of the state confers upon the governor the power of calling the legislature to- gether' by proclamation whenever he deems it necessary. though he is re- quired to set forth in his proclama- tion the questions which he wishes the lawmakers to consider. Other matters which the legislature may pass, not included in the governors proclamat tion require a two-third's vote.
 Should the governor call an extra ordinary session 30 days is the limit under which the legislature may hold. In the present case it Is possible that the two houses might finish their work in 10 or 15 days. Adjournment can be taken at their discretion.
 In regard to the numerous bills on the calendars of the house and senate. those that are not passed during the present session will die unless they are re-introduced at the extra session or are included in the list of measures which the governor may set forth in his proclamation for enactment
 Much of the extra session talk how ever, is speculative. While many be. lfeve an extra session to be imperative the governor has not yet said so, and will not say SO unless certain contin- gencies should arise in the way of bridges" that must bescrossed.

NOBLE INSTITUTE
 ID BE REHAULED
Dr. Glass Announces Plans.
 Ulbricht Says Fruit Crop ] Is Not All Ruined

Anniston, March 21.-(SpeciaL) )-Dr. pan,es c. Glass, president of the Noble institute Annistons famous school for girls, has adopted plans for thorough renovation of the building on the in. terior and a considerable sum of money will be expended in making the build 1ngs among the most comfortably equipped in the country.
 The buildings were erected about 20 years ago by the late Samuel Noble. one of the founders of Anniston, and are valued at about s4O,000, being of stone of the very finest quality. Dr. Glass proposes to place new radiator in every room in the dormitory, inn prove the steam heating, repaper the rooms and make other extensive i'm provements during the coming vaca- tion. Tennis courts and like conve- niences, including a complete refitting of the gymnasium and installation of new educational appliances will be made as soon as practicable.
 Someone broke into the gymna sum where the Rochester Eastern league Hustlers are making their training headquarters Monday night and stole
 
 amounting to considerable sum. Local fans are indignant over the theft and have joined with Manager Ganzel and the police in search of the culprit, who Is believed to be boy.
 Contrary to the prevalent opinion that there Is now practically no hope for the 1911 fruit crop in northeast Alabama. F. J. Ulbricht. we'll known Anniston horticulturist. advances the opinion that the freeze of last week lacked a great deal of being totally de- structive. MT. Ulbricht says that while the frost did material damage to flow CTS, vegetables and fruit, 1t was, in his opinion, too dry to be absolutely fatal. and he thinks there Is still chance for half crop, which he thinks better for the growers than if there had been full crop.
 The arrest of Ada Kennedy and her incarceration on a charge of compile ity in the murder of Shelton J. Ken nedy, her brother, and Sarge Kennedy, her nephew, resulted in her being placed In a cell in the Calhoun county jail, where her aged fs ther, Bill Ken nedy, is also being held pending trial on the same charge.
 The woman has been again allowed bail by Judge T. W. Coleman in the sum of $500, which it Is believed she will make.
 At a meeting of the School Improve ment association of Oxford Wednesday afternoon new officers will be elected and the little Anniston suburb will take further steps in the fight which Oxfordites are making to secure the location in that city of the state high school for Calhoun county, in which they are being opposed by Piedmont at the northern end of the county.
